 on the line and we'll go to the sacral chakra next. So this chakra is located about an inch or two below your belly button. And this is your center of creativity, sexuality, life force energy, joy, pleasure, connection with other people. So we want this chakra working well so that you can be having a good time in your life. The color of this chakra is orange is the traditional color. So I like to work with orange and red stones, but by the way, I just wanna kind of backtrack on that a little bit. What I learned in crystal healing is it's always a safe bet to match the color of the stone to the color of the chakra and you're gonna have a good effect. But I wanna say there's many cases where there are stones that are a completely different color than the chakra that will still work very well there. So that's not a hard and fast rule. And also, I would usually suggest that you follow your own intuition about where certain stones want to go and not a little formula like that. I think that's a good point because yesterday we had a show on where we were talking about 30 ways that we're wired differently than most people. And I think that would be one of the ways too, where for example, one of the examples I gave was I was diagnosed with ADHD and I was given Adderall. And Adderall being an amphetamine would usually amp people up, right? But for me, I could take Adderall and go to sleep an hour later. I'm wired differently as are probably 99% of the people watching this right now. So that's good advice that you had to use your own discernment. If you find a stone, say I've got this quartz crystal and I wanna place it on my throat instead of lapis lazule or whatever, go with it. And I think that's wonderful advice. Thank you for bringing that up. Like trust yourself more than any little formula because you will be guided. If you are coming with this with the right intention that you're wanting to use these crystals and work with them to create a positive outcome, they will guide you where they need to go. And there's many times when I have them all different than, you know, matchy match with the colors. So is it kind of like being an alchemist and especially when you're making a grid, you know, experimenting, placing, you know, all right, this pie right here and this crystal there and then maybe switching it around or putting them in different places. Do you find that it gives you different results each time? It does, it does. So it really is kind of an art form and a science at the same time when you're working with crystals. And it's a lot of listening and feeling and trusting too. Awesome. All right. So yeah, so I'll get back to it, let's see. So we were talking about the color is typically orange, but for instance, like, you know, I oftentimes like to put Moonstone on the sacral chakra and mostly that's white. So, you know, so that's just a general rule. So the glands that at this chakra and symptoms that you might have an issue or a blockage here, difficulty experiencing joy and pleasure or a feeling of a lack of energy flow, just feeling drained and fatigued. If your sacral chakra is an overdrive, you might be overly emotional or overly sexual, but if there's a blockage, you might have a low libido. Also addictions can live in the sacral chakra as well as codependency issues, right? So the first one I wanna talk about for the sacral is carnelian. I don't know if you can see how beautiful this one is. This is a very beautiful carnelian. And, okay, my little, I have this little alien carnelian guy who just wanted me to, he wanted to say hi to everybody. I saw him in a dream and then I found him online and bought him. All right, so carnelian is fantastic. Does he have a name? Did you name him? This one hasn't given, he hasn't given me a name yet. Most of my skulls have. This one, I don't know yet, but he came first in a dream and then he came into my life. So carnelian is a wonderful stone for clearing, opening and activating the sacral chakra, really getting those juices flowing with creativity, sexuality, vitality. It's a really happy and vibrant stone and it kind of is like crystalline fire. And fire is interesting because it can clear and it can transmute, it can burn away blockages, but fire is also an energizing force. So if you are feeling totally drained and fatigued and lethargic like you can't get off the couch, sometimes I feel like that. Before you just drink a bunch of coffee, maybe try working with some carnelian and see if it can boost your energy levels. It's a happy stone. It's very optimistic and it helps with inspiration, especially if you're having a creative block, it can bring in a flow of ideas. It's a stone that helps you get through your resistance and it moves you into action. So if you have all these great ideas, but you don't seem to have the energy to make them happen, work with this stone, it'll actually, it'll push you into a little bit more action. Now, I am really impressed with carnelian as a healing stone of all things. This stone can boost the functioning of many systems of your body, especially the reproductive system, the lymphatic system, the endocrine system and the immune system. And let me tell you a little story about that. I signed up to take a class in Portland, Oregon with the Gemisphere. It was a crystal class and I was so excited. I showed up there and I got so sick. I felt like I had strep throat. I had pus on the back of my throat. It felt like I was swallowing razor blades. I had no energy. I thought I was gonna die. I showed up at the class. I was wrapped up in a blanket just laying on the ground, just trying to absorb something. And then we finally got to the point where we were talking about carnelian and they had us put on a very high quality necklace of carnelian. So I was wearing that necklace within 15 minutes. All of my symptoms went away. It was like a miracle. My throat didn't hurt anymore. I sat back up. I started dancing around. I ran and looked at my throat in the mirror. There was no sign of an infection. So that's how quickly a high quality carnelian can boost your immune system and help you to get over something. I was blown away by that. And the other thing about carnelian, it's really a common stone. So it's affordable. Like you can get tumbled pieces of carnelian for like 50 cents. So everybody should get some carnelian. How do you know what a high quality carnelian is though? Yeah, so you wanna look at the clarity like how translucent it is. And then also like the saturation of the color if it's like a very like vibrant kind of color. It's more about the color and the clarity. And so with Gemosphere, their website is gemosphere.com and they actually sell the highest quality of gemstones and they actually have their gemstones rated on a scale of the quality and they price it accordingly. The price can be a little bit high but let me tell you, their necklaces work. So, but yeah, even a 50 cent pretty piece can do you a lot of good. Yeah. All right. So another stone for the sacral chakra that I think is really interesting and helpful is a cuprite. Okay, so here's a cuprite. I don't know how well you can see it but it's a- I didn't spell that. It's a C-U-P-R-I-T-E. Okay. And so it's this opaque kind of deep red stone and it has a high copper content. It's one of those copper stones I was talking about. Here it is in combination with chrysocola. Look how beautiful that is. These two often grow together. So the red part is the cuprite. Now, I think this one's important because it's the perfect stone when you are going through a transition in your life or some kind of a rebirth, it helps you to move into a new phase. And I think that that's what a lot of us are going through right now. Even as a collective, we're moving into a new phase of reality individually. We're going into new phases of our life. This stone is going to help you to finish up your old business, clear what you need to clear and then it's gonna give you extra energy to reinvent yourself in a new way. So it's very exciting. So like I said, it's a copper bearing stone and stones with copper, you can stick that right over a chakra and it's gonna suck the blockages right out of that chakra. The kind of blockages that cuprite can really help us with would be to release deep fears or any kind of traumatic experiences, especially if it was a sexual trauma that you've gone through in this life or even in other lifetimes. They can help us with clearing masculine and feminine issues. And I think we're doing a lot of work with the divine masculine and feminine right now, blocks to creativity and any kind of power issues. The stone is gonna really get in there and clear that stuff out. I also like it because it has a resonance with the divine feminine frequencies the female mysteries, magic and alchemy. In fact, it's even, I haven't tried this yet, but maybe one of you guys will, you're supposed to be able to meditate with this stone and it can help you tap into the DNA level of your maternal line so that you can tap into the wisdom and gifts of the whole family line. It's really good for men and for women to help you to tap into your female side, your receptive nature to get more in tune with the natural rhythms and cycles of life. And if you're a female who is going through hormonal issues, this is gonna really help you with the reproductive system, PMS, menstrual problems, or if you're going through that transitional phase of life of perimenopause or menopause, this is gonna give you a lot of help and relief. So keep right. That's one that I just wanted you guys to know about because it's not quite as common, but it's a really dynamic stone. In addition to that, I forgot to mention that it's super energizing because of the copper. The copper is gonna replenish you and it's just gonna really boost the functioning of that shocker to a higher level for people who need it to work in that way. Sound good? Yeah. I got a question for you though. Sure. You were saying that Cooprite helps on the DNA level. I've been trying to work on my codons. We have 44 codons in our DNA that are not activated and I'm trying to figure out ways to activate them. How would I use Cooprite in trying to activate my codons? Yeah, now that's a good question. It's something that I haven't really tried to do yet. I don't know, I think the first way I would approach it is to realize that the crystals and stones are conscious and that it's good to communicate with your stones and tell them what it is that you're trying to accomplish. In your case, it is to accomplish the activation of the dormant codons that would be useful for you at this time. So the first thing I would do is just make your intention very clear and ask the stone to assist you with that. Then maybe you would want to sit with the stone and see if the stone would give you any instructions about where to place it or any specific technique that it would suggest. So that it's kind of a co-created effort. So I would just be open to playing with it in that way. And maybe, I don't know why, but I'm feeling like if you put it on maybe the higher chakras, it might work well for there. I don't know why all of a sudden I'm getting a hit that like the soma chakra that's kind of right here at the hairline, which wasn't a chakra I was gonna talk about today. There's a chakra right here that I'm feeling like putting the right stones might help with the codons. I'm also getting a hit about another copper bearing stone called quantum quattro, which is one that I was not gonna talk about today. But look, let's see, I have my tray of crystals right here, let me see if I can find one. Here's a quantum quattro. This is another copper bearing stone. This one has four copper bearing minerals. It's got chrysocola, shatakite, dioptase, and azurite, and it's in a matrix of smoky quartz. And this one is specifically known to help with DNA activation, in activation of more of your abilities. So this one might be another, I'm just, for some reason, I feel like I wanted to tell you about that one as another one to try. Those two together might work better. And trying both up there on, what was that chakra that you said? I've heard it referred to as the soma, S-O-M-A. Okay, I have another question too. And we're getting questions in from the chat room, but they're not really chakra specific yet. So I've been writing them down and we'll get to them at the end. But if you have chakra specific ones, place them in there and I'll ask them while we're going. The other one was, you said you let off with moonstone, which is very similar to opal. Would opal also be one for that particular chakra or is that better for a different chakra? I think that opal would actually work very nicely for the sacral chakra because one of opal's gifts, one of its many gifts is to boost the creativity and your imagination and just to energize you in general. It's an energizing stone. So sure, I think that opal would be great on the sacral. Yep. And Scott is asking any thoughts on fire agate for the sacral? Fire agate's another one I would definitely recommend for the sacral. It's beautiful. It has that fiery, flashy, iridescent quality. It's very energizing, but grounding at the same time. Agates are wonderful. They're just balancing earthy, grounding, but that one's got that fire in it. And so yes, good one. All right, I guess we can move on to the solar plexus.
