Welcome The Infinite Love Of The Universe In Your Life

Unakite is well known for its ability to connect us to the pure, infinite love that surrounds us, however, we have been so out of touch with ourselves that we are unaware of the magnificent love that the Universe bestowed us with. Unakite is a crystal that connects with your Heart Chakra and also uplifts your mood when you are down.

Unakite’s name derives from the mountains Unakas in North Carolina, however, Unakite is special because it also has a second name – Epidote. This name, when translated, means “growing together” that really captures the beautiful unifying energy of love Unakite holds and makes everyone around it aware of. Unakite holds amazing, joyful energy that makes it the perfect addition to any crystal healing set.

Chakras Unakite Connects Best With:

Unakite is one of the best crystals to connect with your Heart Chakra and balance it. The Heart Chakra is the energy center of your body that is responsible for all the types of love, the center of balance between all chakras and also the center that helps us understand ourselves. Although the Heart Chakra is primarily our gateway to universal and infinite love, the Heart Chakra is also the center of self-acceptance, deeper understanding of ourselves and most importantly the center of harmony and balance.

The interesting part is that all other chakras belong either to the chakras of matter or chakras of spirit, however, the Heart Chakra stands on her own, as a balancer, the bridge between spirit and matter. By working on your Heart Chakra with Unakite, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself, of your very soul, and find the balance you needed to restore yourself. It’s an amazing crystal to help you be more calm, understanding, kind and more aware of all the love around you as well as within you.
