Ammonite

Description

Ammonite

Ammonite is said to be a grounding stone that can help to root its wearer to the earth, providing a sense of stability and security. It is also believed to stimulate the root and sacral chakras, helping to increase one’s sense of creativity, sexuality, and passion. Additionally, Ammonite is believed to have a strong connection to the past and is said to help its wearer to access ancient wisdom and knowledge.

The Ammonite has an incredible chakra representation; within the shell is a series of chambers with the siphuncle tube (which regulated the balance of water and gas in each section) connecting each of the chambers; the chakra system is actually quite similar. Energy flows in a spiral – the Ammonite shell is in the form of a spiral. Ammolites (the thin, iridescent layers of the ammonites shell) carry the full seven color spectrum of the chakra system, associated with each of the first seven chakras.

Ammonite shells resemble the subtle body, with its chambers and connective tube. The chakra system has three main currents: one along the spine and two that wrap around it. The major and minor chakras are located where they intersect. This suggests running energy through an ammonite could help regulate the subtle body, balancing and aligning the chakra system. A chakra that is too open or too closed is out of balance; running energy in a specific direction can help regulate a chakra. Placing them at the site of suspected blockages could be beneficial, helping to get that energy flowing once again.

Its spiral shape symbolizes continual change and evolution. Ammonites have absorbed cosmic energy over eons of time and help to stimulate the life force within, while also helping one to find and work with their life path energies – assisting one in finding the proper way down the coiled, spiral spiritual pathway to the Highest Self.
