Advent Calendar 2025: December 10
It may not look like much, but now you just have to listen... Behind today's calendar door you will find a SHUNGIT . And Shungit is not actually a crystal, but carbon.
Shungite was first discovered in the village of Shunga in the Karelia region of northwestern Russia. Hence the name Shungite. The local people of the area have known about Shungite and used it for several centuries. They considered Shungite to be sacred and had various legends and myths associated with its origin and powers - and Shungite was used for various purposes, including as amulets, in rituals and for medicinal purposes.
According to an ancient legend in the area where Shungite was discovered, the stone was formed by God's tears that fell to Earth. It is said that Shungite contains a divine energy and is therefore often referred to as the Stone of Life .
Peter the Great, the famous Russian Emperor, was very interested in Shungite and used it for building churches and water purification and filtration systems, among other things. It is said that he even created special Shungite water that his army drank to maintain their health and vitality during expeditions and war.
In the 20th century, Shungite became the subject of further scientific research and studies. Scientists have studied the composition of the stone and its unique carbon structure, which contains fullerenes, which are molecules made up of carbon atoms. These fullerenes help our body fight against anything that can damage our skin, such as the sun's rays, and they can help reduce inflammation.
Shungite is a very powerful crystal, which is linked to the root chakra. Here it gives us a stronger connection to Mother Earth, and ensures that we remain grounded. When the grounding connection is strong, it contributes to a general feeling of calm, stability and balance.
With a Shungite, your body can be in flow without interruptions. It also protects against other unwanted, negative energies such as stress and anxiety, because it creates a more deeply rooted sense of security, so you will experience less anxiety and unrest in your mind.
Furthermore, Shungite has a protective effect and boosts your spiritual development and awareness. Shungite protects against negative and unwanted energies, evil spirits and harmful vibrations.
You can almost look at Shungite as a kind of spiritual bodyguard , helping you create a protective shield around yourself so that you don't take on other people's energies.
