Shiva Linghams
Stone of Nurturing


The Shiva Lingham is from the sacred Narmada River in Onkar Mandhata, one of India's seven holy sites.  Villagers gather this unique Crypto-crystalline quartz (a form of jasper with impurities) from shallow river beds. 
A natural formation, geologists theorize that the iron oxide embedded in the stone was impregnated in the river bed millions of years ago by a meteorite.  Lingham, which describes the egg-like shape, is also the sacred Sanskrit word for phallus.  This often-worshiped fertility stone is revered by Hindus as the embodiment of Lord Shiva.  The stones are sometimes hand polished to balance their proportions.  If you remember the movie
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the Shiva is the sacred stone they were searching for.  Accessible only during the dry seasons, these stones are collected from the river bed by only a few families who have been trained to identify only the most special pieces.

In Tantra, the shape embodies masculine energy, dynamic expression, and knowledge, the harmony or balance of the soul that is maintained within the hearts of all of us, the Light that shines from within.  The markings are named Yoni (sacred Sanskrit word for vulva) for the feminine energy, wisdom, and intuition, the seed which is fertilized to manifest the creative power in the dance of the cosmos.  Together, the female energy arouses the masculine urge to create.  As such, the Tantric Lingham unifies the dualistic (male/female) world into harmonious balance.

The ancient practice of Feng Shui uses the sacred Shiva Lingham to direct the energy flow throughout one's home.  Place a Shiva Lingham in the Relationship/Marriage area of your home or business to bring you closer to your partner and customers.  Shivas are said to balance the male and female polarities within the self, promoting inner harmony, and are symbolic of the Divine Creative Manifestation.

Shiva Linghams are also said to be awakeners of the Kundalini energies of spiritual transformation. They are considered to be talismans of enlightenment which facilitate the visionary experience.

The Shiva Lingham is a physical body stone and nurtures the second chakra.  The colors of brown and red increase the connection with Shiva (God of Creation) and Kali (Goddess of Destruction), and raises and grounds the kundalini energy, promoting grounding into one’s incarnation and the body.  The stone also helps facilitate the union of body and soul and the union of male and female.  The quartz composition (along with basalt and agate) and the shape make them powerful energy generators appropriate for healing and unique as tools for
meditation and cleansing.
