Shiva Lingams:

Shiva Lingams come in many sizes from very small to very large.  Typically they are  elongated, elliptical stones .

In India they’re regarded as  sacred and holy stones.  They  are made of crypto crystalline quartz and legend has it that they formed when a meteorite fell to earth several million years ago. Shiva Lingams are found exclusively in the Narmada river,  India.   The colour and patterning of the stones vary from grey to beige, to brown and a reddish brown so no stones are the same.

The shape of the stone represents male energy (knowledge) and the markings, which differ greatly from stone to stone, represent female energy (wisdom). Together the two elements signify the merging of male and female energy for BALANCE.  Personally, I associate them with sun  (determination and action) and moon energy  (nurture and wisdom). I have been working with Shiva Lingams for some years now and  prefer to work with a pair.  One represents male energy  whilst the other – the yoni stone represents Shakti feminine energy, thus the two stones  merge male and female energy to me.  I also find it really interesting which stone falls into which hand.  Sometimes I am aware that the “male” is in my right and sometimes the left.  I often meditate on whether I am needing more dynamic, doing energy or whether in fact I have been “giving too much of myself”.   To resonate with this fully it is helpful if you work with the energetic frequencies of yin and yang/masculine and feminine.

How to Use Shiva Lingams:

• Sit or lie quietly simply holding them , one in each hand.  Let their energetic vibration release inner tension, rebalance yin/yang – masculine and feminine energy.  Shiva Lingams are particularly helpful over the waxing moon and the ovulation period.
• When you are feeling anxious around a situation and need to relax
• When working with compassion and  loving kindness towards yourself and others
• When you need to remain positive, focused and balanced
• During challenging periods of your life
• Remaining attentive to what you create through the power of your thoughts
