About Shiva Lingam Meaning?

This special stone always has the shape of an elongated egg and is the symbol, or lingam of Lord Shiva. Shiva is one of the supreme deities in Hinduism and therefore the stone that is his symbol represents the infinite power of the universe. As such, the Shiva lingam brings vitality and a special sort of energy called pranic energy. This is the energy that is found in everything. This makes the Shiva lingam especially useful in healing work, as it can re-energize and revitalize.

Shiva Lingam stones come from the Narmada River, which is one of India’s seven holy rivers. The stones are sometimes found in an egg shape, but most are carved and polished into this special shape, which evokes both the masculine and the feminine principles. They are all shades of brown or tan and often have beautiful markings or bands. Shiva lingam stones are made out of jasper, which is a combination of quartz, chalcedony and opal and has aspects of all of these crystals. The stones themselves can be small enough to be hidden in the hand or very large.

Shiva Lingam Uses 

The Shiva lingam is interesting because it can open and realign most of the chakras with equal power. This can be seen in its ability to stimulate kundalini energy, which resides in the base or root chakra which is found at the bottom of your spine. According to tradition, it is wrapped seven or twelve times around itself and can uncoil upwards. As kundalini energy rises, it opens all the chakras to finally be released through the crown chakra, which connects you to pure consciousness and your highest spiritual energy.

When you place the shiva lingam on your third eye, which is found in the center of your forehead, it links you to your higher self and facilitates clairvoyance.

For spiritual practitioners, the pineal gland is the location of the soul and the place where thoughts originate.

Place the stone over the sacral chakra if you have problems with your reproductive system, including infertility.
