The best way to use Garnet:
A great way to use it in your everyday life, though, is to carry it around with you or fashion it onto a piece of jewellery or clothing.
Garnet is also a great crystal to use during meditation, but it’s important to note that you must be able to channel your thoughts to the crystal for it to be the most effective. For example, you can’t just wait for it to come to you and fix your problems, but you must direct your thoughts to the stone and let it in first. Once you do this, you can benefit from its potential healing powers.
