A wonderful tool for both going deep within yourself, and expanding way beyond yourself, purpurite is a stone that connects you to the wisdom of other realms while deepening your connection to the innate wisdom you hold inside you.
It can help you be more receptive during meditation and other spiritual practices, to keep practicing, learning, and growing on your spiritual path, and stay dedicated to it.
Purpurite also helps keep you safe, grounded, and protected during heightened spiritual practices like astral traveling, lucid dreaming, past life regression, hypnosis, or exploring the Akashic records. Holding purpurite while you practice these things will help you be able to come back into your body, into the present, and integrate the knowledge and lessons you received from your astral adventures.

Purpurite Metaphysical Properties
Chakras
Purpurite has a beautiful combination as it’s a high vibrational stone with natural grounding energies built-in, offering a balance of peace and protection.
It stimulates and opens the third eye and crown chakras and connects them to the root chakra, fully opening your central channel and allowing the higher energies to flow through your entire system.
This makes it a very uplifting stone to help you out of stress, frustration, and anxiety, lifting you out of material world worries into the wisdom of your intuition and the spirit realm.
Meditate with this stone over your third eye, or lay with it above your head, to feel its activation of your psychic awareness, a heightened perception of your connection to your guides, angels, and ancestors, and a sense of calm relaxation throughout your entire energy body.

Cleanse & Recharge
Purpurite resonates with the elements of the earth and air, which makes those both great options with which to cleanse it.
You can set your purpurite stone out on the ground overnight to allow it to release all the energy it’s been holding back into the earth, and let the fresh air, stars, and light of the cosmos recharge its magical healing powers back up.
You can also clear its energy with sound, using a crystal or brass sound bowl, gong, tuning fork, or even your favorite instrument if you’re a musician.
You can also leave your purpurite stone to rest on selenite overnight to cleanse and recharge it.
