In Sanskrit, the word Prana represents breath, vital energy, or Life Force. In other cultural lenses, it is called Qi, Mana, or Spirit. All these words are attempts to conceptualize the phenomenon that animates our bodies! What we use to propel ourselves through physical existence. Our life force flowing through us, is what energizes the creativity, will, determination and confidence that we display within our journeys.
Our #crystaloftheweek is Carnelian, a Life force stone with an affinity to bring these characteristics out in the wearer. Carnelian is a crystal that activates the lower three chakras. These have to do with a more primordial sense of being, along with one’s relationship to the physical world. Keeping in mind that Carnelian stimulates life energy, it is useful in transmuting apathy, passivity, and feelings of stuckness. It can also bring stabilization in tumultuous environments. Carnelian is associated with the astrological signs of Taurus, Cancer, and Leo, but is here to help anyone who feels called to receive the healing benefits of this stone!
