Why Garnet for Breakup Healing?
Known as the "Stone of Commitment," Garnet holds profound energy for emotional restoration. This deep red crystal resonates with the root and heart chakras, helping to:
- Regenerate self-love after loss
- Anchor turbulent emotions
- Release attachments to past relationships
- Spark renewed vitality and passion for life
Metaphysical Properties at Work
Garnet's iron-rich composition symbolically connects to blood and life force. Spiritually, it acts as an emotional alchemist – transforming grief into wisdom through its grounding yet revitalizing frequency.
