These incredible stones get their smooth, egg-like shape through centuries of tumbling in the Narmada River in India!
Shiva Lingam is a sacred stone revered in Hinduism, particularly in worship of Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in the Hindu pantheon. Shiva Lingam stones are composed of a type of cryptocrystalline quartz called cryptocrystalline quartz that is compact, smooth, and usually oval-shaped.
The shape of the Shiva Lingam is highly symbolic, representing the union of the divine masculine and feminine energies, known as Shiva and Shakti. The rounded form of the stone symbolizes the cosmic egg, while the markings on the surface represent the cosmic energy that permeates the universe. In Hindu mythology, the Lingam is seen as a symbol of the eternal and formless aspect of the divine, representing the unmanifested cosmic energy from which all creation arises.
Shiva Lingam stones are considered sacred and are often used in religious ceremonies, rituals, and worship practices dedicated to Lord Shiva. They are believed to embody the divine presence of Shiva and are revered as powerful sources of spiritual energy and blessings. Devotees may bathe the Lingam in water, milk, or other sacred substances as a form of purification and offering, and they may also meditate upon the stone to connect with its sacred energy.
Metaphysically, Shiva Lingam is associated with the root chakra, which is located at the base of the spine and is associated with survival, stability, and connection to the Earth. Working with Shiva Lingam stones can help balance and activate the root chakra, promoting feelings of security, grounding, and vitality. They also facilitate the flow of kundalini energy, the primal life force energy that resides at the base of the spine, helping to awaken spiritual consciousness and inner transformation.
