Seraphinite Meaning: Metaphysical Properties & Uses

Seraphinite has an attractive appearance, with feathery silver patterns, like wings, running through a dark green background. It is traditionally seen as a stone of spiritual enlightenment and is used in meditation and trance work.

It is said to be a shamanic stone of great power when used in out-of-body journeying and working with the astral planes. In metaphysical belief it is associated with protection of the spirit during such journeys.

Metaphysical Properties

Seraphinite has a beneficial effect on the Heart chakra and can be used to clear away energetic restrictions or blockages in this area, allowing the Heart to open up to giving and receiving love at every level, from the human to the divine.

It is also a stone of the Crown and Higher Crown chakra, facilitating connections with the realms of angels and spirit.

To say that Seraphinite is a high vibration stone is to underestimate the power of the vibrations of this crystal. Many crystal users describe it as having an exceptionally high energy output, and it is a favorite stone for meditation.   

Seraphinite Lore and Meaning

If you are looking for a stone to use as a focus for emotional and mental reflection, Seraphinite is a popular choice. This special mineral can be called upon when you want to make radical changes to your life. It allows us to open our minds to questions about the way we are living day by day, our actions and the environments we allow ourselves to inhabit.

Seraphinite encourages us to take stock of even the smallest details of our lives that are causing us disharmony. In metaphysical belief, living out of alignment with our core beliefs or our true purpose is said to create tension and discord within our energy fields, and this stone is associated with clarity of mind and a heightened sense of our own capabilities, intuition and intellectual awareness.

In crystal practice, Seraphinite's high vibration is often described as a prompt to take stock of your entire life and as a symbol of letting go of old thought patterns or behaviors that no longer serve you. Many people use it as a reminder to seek out the resources, people and ideas that help them live in alignment with their true nature.

In crystal practice this is described as deep work at the metaphysical level. People who have spent years pleasing others, or attending to others’ needs at the expense of their own, often use seraphinite as a symbol of letting go of old conditioning and freeing themselves from the energetic drain of another person’s demands.

These are traditional beliefs, not claims of physical effect. Crystals are not a substitute for medical care.
