The Shiva Lingam, as an ellipsoid, offers powerful symbolism that can be interpreted in many ways. One popular way is that it offers a combination of the male and female energies, the Yin and Yang, the balance of the Chakra energies, etc. While these interpretations are both promoted and denied in the literature, it does seem consistent that the fertility and creation of elemental energies seem to dominate and be universally accepted.
The fertility symbolism of the egg shape is powerful and well-accepted. This symbolism makes the Shiva Lingam very useful in a variety of applications in metaphysical use, primarily those of the physical world.
The creation of elemental symbolism of the cosmic egg is one of more spiritual use. In this way, the Shiva Lingam can be used for metaphysical uses to create environments of more spirituality, find one’s personal spiritual path, and create a spiritual world for one’s own self.
n using the Shiva Lingam within the physical crystal healing world, the primary application is to use it to balance the Sacral Chakra. The sacral chakra can be located below the navel and above the pubic bone on the front of your pelvis. The sacral chakra is considered the life force of the body. It controls the flow of information from the body to the mind and from the mind to the body.
When in balance, the Sacral Chakra makes you feel graceful, playful, happy, and flexible in both body and mind. Since it is the life force part of the flow of the body, it can be very noticeable when out of balance or blocked. If this is the case, you may feel confusion, over-dependency on others, repression of feelings, inability to feel joy, fear of sensuality or sex, frustration, and bitterness. If you feel as if your sacral chakra could be out of balance, you might well find the use of a Shiva Lingam can help. To use one to balance the Sacral Chakra, you should find a very quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Frankly, if you are female, you might well find the best time is the night of the full moon.
Like the unexpected fire of a sunset, or the first flash of autumn brilliance, Carnelian captivates. Its bold energy brings a rush of warmth and joy that lingers, stimulating and empowering. Known as a stone of motivation and endurance, leadership and courage, Carnelians have protected and inspired throughout history.

Its colour varies from pale pinkish-orange to a deep rusty brown, though it is most known for its brilliant orange and red-orange crystals. Its name comes from a Latin word meaning “flesh.”
In antiquity, as well as today, Carnelian is believed to help timid speakers become both eloquent and bold.Ancient Warriors wore Carnelian around their neck for courage and physical power to conquer their enemies. In Egypt it was worn by master architects to show their rank of builder, and alchemists of the Middle Ages used it as a boiling stone to activate the energy of other Chalcedonies. As the first stone in the breastplate of the High Priest, it signified the blood of the martyrs and was once believed to prevent illness and the Plague.
The ancient Egyptians called Carnelian “the setting sun.” In its orange hues, they identified it with the receptive or passive female energies, and associated it with the fertile menstrual blood of the mother goddess, Isis. In its red, red-orange to reddish brown shades, they considered it the active male energy stone, recognized by its glowing vibrant colour. Carnelian is traditionally worn to enhance passion, love, and desire.
Orange stones, especially the carnelians, are excellent aids for training, coordination of physical exercise programs, and for balancing body energy levels. Carnelians boost a listless attitude and can stimulate the appetite.
Used as a professional support crystal, Carnelian aids architects, builders and construction workers in their creation of master buildings, stimulates power and stamina in athletes and military personnel, establishes form and organization in journalists, and stimulates motivation in salespersons.
Carnelian is said to attract prosperity, new resources and good luck. It is a talisman for success in any money-making venture. In the workplace, it is a crystal of ambition, drive and determination, and wards off undue pressures of co-workers or impersonal corporations with unrealistic expectations.
Carnelian clarifies the voice. It is the Singer’s Stone. It also promotes confidence for performances on stage or in live media.
Carnelian is traditionally known to guard against falling masonry and accidents with tools. Today it guards the home from theft, fire, storm or accident.
