Heeheehee - Tinfoil Cap! ha!

So...my Root Chakra was 38% open - so it's doing pretty fine, I'd say. And after that Tree/Root dream I'm feeling pretty rooted. Plus my Wavespell intention of last March/03 was to bring the Physical world into balance with my Spiritual world...and it seems to have worked! I'm takin' care of business in the real world now and feeling pretty balanced.

I was talking to Lapis over on the Crystal Healing Forum and I am going to splurge and get me that Quartz Crystal Orb that was calling to me - I swear it didn't want me to put it down! Who knows....I feel this Crystal Orb is important to me on all levels...I'm running out to buy it right now! Wooooo.....

Maybe I can use some of the excess crown energy....channel it through the Quartz Orb maybe...hmmmmmm....

Thank you guys for your input...

yup and an overactive crown is usually, but not always, compensting for a low root. Not being rooted in this realm. Nothing a summer of beach vollyeball and gardening can't fix.

RUBELLITE/Red Tourmaline

Strengthens, grounds, rejuvenates, warms. Unites heart and body for love, courage, passion, energy, stamina, steadiness. High Lithium content (thus pink/red color) brings emotional balance, lovingness, devotion in a down-to-earth way. Balances body's electrochemistry. Helps detach from personal pain. Releases reproductive blocks; stimulates fertility. Used to strengthen and detox blood and immune system and to ease radiation effects. Yang.

How can you balance this chakra?
Dancing is very good for grounding. In the summer ,go barefoot. House cleaning and cooking is also grounding. Hug a tree , take care of your plants .

The first Chakra, or base Chakra, vibrates to the frequency of Red and is allied to the reproductive organs, legs, feet, hands, lower back and lower abdomen. When this Chakra is out of balance we experience problems in these areas. This can lead to pain, lack of energy, or hormonal dysfunction.

When this energy is balanced we have strength, are action oriented, we feel protected and can protect ourselves. It is our life drive and sexual, creative energy. We are grounded and 'down to earth' being rational and logical in our thinking. Red energy is required by the body to keep us warm. and to supply our fire and passion for life.

When we lack this energy we also lack vitality and feel as if our 'get up and go, got up and went'. When this energy is suppressed our creativity is also suppressed.

Red is the colour of fire. Fire brings to mind a variety of images for us. Fire is destructive and when Red energy (anger) is bottled up it will finally find a release which can be quite explosive and destructive. When this occurs, we become afraid of the destructive power of Red energy and seek to contain and control it even more. This only leads us into a vicious circle where release creates even more destruction and creates more fear, with the need to exert more control.
The root chakra is powerfully related to our contact with the Earth Mother, providing us with the ability to be grounded into the earthplane. This is also the center of manifestation.

When you are trying to make things happen in the material world, business or material possessions, the energy to succeed will come from the first chakra.

**NOTE: A man's sexual organs are located primarily in his first chakra, so male sexual energy is usually experienced primarily as physical. A women's sexual organs are located primarily in her second chakra, so female sexual energy is usually experienced primarily as emotional. Both chakras are associated with sexual energy.

Smoky Quartz is one of the most beautiful and powerful varieties of quartz. It exhibits a grounding element which allows us to stay focused on the earth plane.
