It acts as a magnet to high frequency energy, and activates and clears blockages in the upper chakras allowing for a stronger connection to intuitive abilities.It initiates independence and motivation and is cathartic to the emotional self, allowing for release of trapped emotions and feelings, bringing calm and self-assurance. Barite assists in the renewal of intuitive energies, providing a strong, yet delicate connection to the spiritual world. A great piece for removing toxins from the body and to assist in recovery from addictions. Really nice pieces to use in healing work.
