Shiva Lingam

Shiva Lingam that I purchased in Tucson.

Shiva Lingam’s are a naturally formed stone that come only from the Narmada River in India.

The Narmada has an extremely strong current during the high season.
The stones are naturally tumbled to form an oblong or egg shape.
During the dry season they are collected from the river bed by hand by only those who have been taught by their families what to look for in each stone.
The tradition of hand-polishing with a special wax created from herbs has been passed down for generations and is applied only to protect the stone’s natural markings and shape.

The Shiva Lingam is very helpful for transformation, opening a path to new life, and to feel a sense of unity.

Each Shiva Lingam contains sacred markings of deep red’s and brown’s, and are said to have been come from a meteor striking the ground millions of years ago.

Shiva Lingam’s have been used in traditional Hindu ceremonies for centuries.
They are placed in temples as a symbol of the feminine and masculine.

The Shiva Lingam can work with all chakra’s, and is connected to all of the elements (earth, air, water, fire).

The Shiva Lingam is very helpful for transformation, opening a path to new life, and to feel a sense of unity.

The Shiva Lingam’s are here to teach us. Peace, patience, quiet listening. These qualities are the balance of the masculine and feminine aspects within ourselves.

They are quietly creating a space for us to open our hearts to do our healing, our work, our creating, wherever it is we need assistance energetically.
