Pyrite

Pyrite is excellent for increasing the power of the third chakra in both men and women.  It imparts an immediate increase in vitality and gives one a boost for accomplishing challenging tasks in the physical world.  It enhances will power, assisting one in overcoming bad habits and establishing new patterns of health and positive energy.  It aids one in overcoming fear and anxiety and helps one establish a 'can-do' attitude about whatever one has decided to attempt.  It can screen out negative influences in one's environment and give one the courage to banish such influences from one's life.

Pyrite can be a helpful tool for balancing polarities and creating harmony within the auric field.  Pyrite stimulates creativity in art, mathematics, sculpture, architecture, science and many other disciplines.  It feeds the qualities of ambition, commitment and persistence.  It helps one to 'hang tough' and carry things through to completion.  It increases mental clarity and focus, making it an ideal stone for students.

Pyrite's enhancement of male energies can benefit both men and women.  It supports one in taking assertive action, protecting other humans and the Earth, and developing the inner warrior for the benefit of the community.  For men, it enhances the feeling of confidence in one's masculinity and supports the sublime and enthusiastic expression of male eroticism.

Pyrite is one of the three stones of the Earth element triad, representing the directive, or 'male' aspect of the Great Earth Mother (the other two are Hematite and Cuprite).  It resonates with both Earth and Fire.  Pyrite allows one to connect with the energy of the Earth and channel that energy through the body. 

It can increase stamina and enhance physical performance.  It energetically supports the blood and its capacity to carry oxygen.  Pyrite is excellent for use in manifestation, as it helps one take action on one's ideas or concepts.  It also aids in grounding higher knowledge into action and is ideal to use at the end of a meditation to bring the energy fully back into the physical realm.  Though it is an Earth element stone, Pyrite carries aspects of Fire energy as well.  It is warming and stimulating to the energy systems.

Pyrite helps one integrate high-frequency energy into the physical body.  It is an ally in assisting one in taking action to create abundance in one's life.  ITs frequency is useful in stimulating creative energy and promoting healthy sexual expression.

Pyrite encourages one to overcome fears and take action.  It can be used to help bring one out of one's shell and to encourage one to be more dynamic and confident.

Affirmation:  My will is strong, and I use it to accomplish the manifestation of my most benevolent hopes and desires.
