How to Use Lead Energy

Lead has a very bad rap from all the internal damage it has done, but that's not all there is to lead. Metaphysically, lead is a very powerful stone when used externally. It is good for centering and grounding. It aligns energies, and is a "stone of harmony." Lead stimulates circulation and blood flow. It is an infection fighter and helps to strengthen the lungs. Galena is a common cubic lead structure that adds grounding and balance to the emotions and the etheric body.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Lead (or galena)
• Other associated minerals (optional)
• Small bag or pouch (optional)

1. Use lead for intense grounding. If you have been doing a lot of meditation and astral work try carrying a piece of lead in your pockets. Use equal amounts on your left and right sides.

2. Be aware of lead in your environment. You may have a beautiful room that is perfect for meditation, but check the drapes for lead drapery weights. Cut them out and substitute clear quartz crystals, rose quartz crystals or even amethyst crystals. Citrine is another good protective stone that won't carry the same heavy grounding qualities as lead.

3. Keep lead on the table if you are doing psychic readings of any type. Pair it with some gold, if possible, even white quartz with a gold vein. Lead and gold are the yin and yang of alchemy and they will also balance out you and the room you are in.

4. Pair lead with silver for enhanced effect. Turquoise will combine well with both to keep you grounded but also in contact with the spirit planes.

5. Use lead drapery weights on string for a cheap boost when you are having problems breathing. Knot the string in such a way that there is a piece of lead centered over each lung.
