Here are my top 5 crystals for grounding. These grounding crystals and stones will help you stay connected to the Earth, your body and become more present. Learn how to use them with my powerful Tree of Life Grounding Meditation.
Why Ground Yourself?
Grounding is a common issue for some people, especially creatives and spiritual people. If you are regularly ungrounded yo can experience a number of problems such as feeling light headed, forgetfulness, clumsiness, lack of focus, feeling scattered, inaccurate intuition and even trouble manifesting. Grounding keeps your energy better connected to the Planet, your body and the physical World we live in.
“Grounding helps you integrate your spiritual and creative side with practical common sense”
Your Grounding Cord
We each have an etheric cord of energy that connects us to the Planet, this cord goes into the centre of the Earth. When the grounding cord becomes weak we become ungrounded. This cord is connected to the Root Chakra, Earth Star Chakra and all our Lower Chakras.
When these chakras become unbalanced we also become ungrounded. If you’re interested in learning more about your chakras check out my book Crystal Healing For The Chakras. I have a special grounding meditation that will help strengthen your grounding cord coming up. First, choose your grounding stone:
My Top 5 Crystals For Grounding:
We are blessed to have so many crystals in the Mineral Kingdom that can help with grounding. These are some of my top recommendations and go-to crystals when I need to ground myself and snap back to the present moment.
Read the meanings below and then choose a crystal that most resonates with you. I have also included other noteworthy grounding crystals that could have also made the list:
Hematite
As well as being deeply grounding, Hematite is highly protective and strengthens the aura.
Smoky Quartz
This black, grey or brown crystal connects with the Earth and absorbs negative energies really well.
Red Jasper
A good one for the Root Chakra. A great earthy stone to work with if others are too strong for you.
Tiger’s Iron
A combination of grounding Tiger’s Eye, Jasper and Hematite. Helps both ground and energize you.
Shiva Lingam
These unique stones feel so grounding to touch and hold. They also balance your male and female energies.

TREE OF LIFE GROUNDING MEDITATION
Once you have picked your grounding crystal you just need to carry or wear it to help you keep grounded. I do recommend you try this meditation with your crystal for an even more powerful effect.
I’ve been doing a Tree of Life meditation since 2005. I do a grounding meditation like this every day. You can do this meditation before spiritual work or daily if you feel you need it. It also helps you relax and calms your mind.

My favourite grounding stones are my Boji Stones. Or, if they are not to hand, and I’m at work, I like to use shungite spheres.
Lots of great information! Thanks for sharing
My mom just told me what the last one on the list is supposed to represent… Yeesh!
Anyway, this is really helpful. I have a hard time grounding myself. Thank you.
Please can you tell me the difference between grounding and centring please
I am using or trying to use smoky or haematite
But I’m confused if grounding and centring are the same or different
Please help me
And by the way
I’m waiting on your books now I can’t wait
Much peace ☮️ and light paula
Hi Paula, thank you so much for getting my books. People may argue that these are the same thing. I personally see grounding as more about your energy connection to the earth but centering as more about your mind and being present in the moment. They are closely related as centering is a side effect of good grounding. Hope that makes sense.
Hi Ethan,
Thank you for this write up. I have a query though. Is it okay to wear a grounding crystal ( hematite or smokey quartz) anklet? I am from India, and we hesitate to wear anything sacred/pure on the feet.
Hi Ruya, where I live in the UK it is considered acceptable and our legs and feet do connect with the Earth. I understand that in some cultures this may be different. Its up to you
These are all good, but I am personally drawn more to Aegerine. It is grounding, but the needles can also be used as a wand, to send healing energy.
I recently held my hematite bracelets in my hand and felt this “gentle wave” through my body. What is this phenomena called and what connection does it have with crystals?
I think you’re just sensing the energy move through your aura. Everyone feels crystals differently
