You might be wondering what feeling grounded means. Being grounded is not the punishment you received as a teenager from your parents when you’d stayed out too late, but instead, it is feeling present in your body and connected to the Earth. With that in mind, here are the 5 best crystals for grounding, if you feel disconnected.
List Of The Best Crystals For Grounding
1. Smoky Quartz For Grounding
Smoky Quartz is a great all-around cleanser, not only cleansing your energy but the energy around you as well.
The Smoky Quartz is a great renewer of energy.
The Smoky Quartz lets off the perfect combination of both balancing and grounding energy. This crystal has all of the amazing healing energy of Clear Quartz, but in addition, it also helps to balance and ground you.
It is connected to all chakras, but works especially well with the root chakra, the first of all the chakras, meaning ‘wheel of spinning energy.’ It is located at the base of your spine and is known for grounding as well as survival and safety.

To feel at a higher consciousness, choose Hematite.
The Hematite is a more subtle stone than some of the others, but still has the ability to ground and balance you.

Although Hematite provides subtle energy, its shielding effects can be felt immediately.

The Black Tourmaline is a crystal that will help to open a connection to Mother Earth that you may have lost, by grounding your energy.
Not only is Black Tourmaline great for grounding, but it’s also used for clearing energies, dissolving negative energies, and freeing up room for positive ones. By clearing your energy, this crystal helps you to get out of your head and focus on your body.

4. Black Obsidian For Grounding
Black Obsidian combines the elements of earth, fire, and water, and as such makes a powerful stone for grounding.
Black Obsidian is the perfect stone for grounding.
The Black Obsidian has a really strong connection with the earth which is what makes it such a powerful grounding stone.
This stone is the most effective when used after you’ve done some spiritual work. It provides a deep connection with the root chakra. When the root chakra is balanced, it helps you to create a firm foundation and brings all of the other chakras into balance. On the other hand, an unbalanced root chakra will make it impossible for your other chakras to be completely balanced.
