The Benefits and Properties of Galena in Crystal Healing

Protection – Stability – Flexibility – Achieving a Goal – Physical and Emotional Balance

Galena is a lead sulfide. Therefore, consuming it as an elixir is strongly discouraged!

In crystal healing, galena is not placed directly on the skin for long periods of time, but it works very well as a “pocket stone.”

It’s a wonderful stone for gaining stability, both emotionally and physically. With it, you’ll stop changing your mind every two minutes—Galena helps you stay centered and gain clarity about your goals and dreams.

As a protective stone, it is an excellent ally for shielding a place or a person from “negative” energies, as well as from radioactivity or X-rays.

It is recommended to use galena during esoteric practices, such as spiritualism, to protect oneself from occult forces.

Physically, it can help people who suffer from dizziness.
