Tip from Nefertitis on SUNSTONE RITUAL: STRENGTHENING SELF-CONFIDENCE AND INNER STRENGTH

Sunstone is a crystal of joy, courage, and personal power. Its warm, golden orange hues evoke the energy of the summer sun and awaken the determination to stand up for yourself. If you want to boost your self-confidence and let go of self-doubt, this ritual will help you rediscover your worth and shine.

Why sunstone?

• Sunstone – a stone of optimism, courage and self-expression.

• It helps eliminate the fear of rejection and promotes healthy self-confidence.

• It activates the solar plexus and sacral chakras , thereby strengthening life energy and creative power.

What you will need

• 1 sunstone (raw, tumbled, or in jewelry)

• a gold or orange candle

• paper and pen

• a place where natural sunlight hits you.

Ritual procedure

• Cleanse the stone – rinse it under running water or place it in the sun for a short time to absorb its energy.

• Light a candle – it symbolizes the strength and brightness of your inner light.

• Hold the sunstone in your hands and close your eyes. Focus on your breath, imagining warm, golden light flowing into you with each inhale.

• Visualization – let the light shine through your entire body, especially your abdominal area. Feel the insecurity disappear and be replaced by a feeling of strength and confidence.

• Write down an affirmation – for example: “I am enough. I am strong and I shine with my truth.”

• Affirmation of intention – place the stone on the paper, look into the candle flame and repeat your affirmation out loud three times.

• End of the ritual – thank the stone, the candle and yourself for the time you have given. Carry the stone with you during important meetings or negotiations.

Tip for strengthening the ritual

It is ideal to do it at noon , when the sun is at the peak of its power, or on Sunday - the day that astrologically belongs to the Sun.

Sunstone reminds you that your light is unique and that your greatest strength comes from accepting yourself. A ritual with this stone will help you eliminate doubt, stand up for your dreams, and walk through life with your head held high.
