A stone of vitality, confidence, and creative fire. Deeply connected to the sacral and solar plexus chakras, it’s often used to awaken passion, motivation, and personal power. It stimulates courage, action, and a sense of purposeful momentum.
Emotionally, carnelian can help dissolve fear and self-doubt, encouraging bold self-expression and grounded confidence.

Dyad + Elements
Dyad is scientifically and philosophically connected to the traditional Western elements of air, fire, earth and water.
These four elements exist in everyone, giving us unique qualities, harmonies, and imbalances that can influence our physical and emotional well-being.
Understanding the symbolic and practical nature of each element can help us better understand ourselves and others.
The Alchemical Facial is connected to the annual journey of the Sun whose movements guide us through the various elements, cycles and seasons.
The major turning points in the solar year are defined by solstices and equinoxes. Similarly, we shift the Alchemical Facial elemental focus on these same dates in order to correspond with the inherent qualities of each moment in time.
We hope the information provided can serve to increase awareness of how these forces are at work in your life, and help you feel more connected to the beautiful rhythms of the world around you.
