The elongated, oval form of the Shivalingam symbolises the invisible, unmanifested creative power, the masculine energy. The red markings symbolize the female energy. Male and female energy are thus united here. Every Narmada Shivalingam radiates both male and female energy without ceasing and creates a balancing effect on body and mind. One should keep the Shivalingam in a suitable place in the house so that the energy can flow into the whole house. With regular meditation with the Shivalingam it absorbs energy and radiates it again. Thus it becomes a valuable companion on the path to the inner self. Whenever you want to use the calming and at the same time strengthening effect of the Shivalingam, you place it on the area of the heart or on the area of the third eye or simply take it in both hands. The Shivalingam can absorb negativity indefinitely and need not be discharged itself.
