“The Doer”

ENERGY: Motivating, Empowering, Stimulating
FOCUS: Create change in your life by channeling creative abilities

Physical energy is our vital life force. A version or concept of it exists in every culture: prana (Hindus), qi (Chinese), pneuma (Ancient Greeks), spiritus (Latin), ruach (Hebrew), asé (Yoruba in Africa), orenda (The Iroquois) to name a few. In the chakra system, this energy originates at the base of the spine at the root chakra (1st) and is then harnessed and converted through the other chakras, starting with the sacral (2nd). Each person is individually responsible for choosing how they convert this energy into conscious action, thus deciding what reality they create and bring into existence. Red stones fuel these efforts by addressing the obstacles holding one back from doing what is in alignment with their higher self such as: increasing stamina and drive, overcoming lethargy, feeling courageous or unafraid, feeling empowered, or being apathetic. The energy of red stones is powerful, energizing, fiery, passionate, intense, sensual, ambitious, and cleansing.
