As a Reiki practitioner I find that using crystals is very beneficial both to me and my clients. There are seven main crystals and stones that I use both to heal my clients and for my own benefit as well.

One of the crystals I use is red calcite. Red calcite is known as the stone of ‘gentle vitality’. It is a detoxifying stone that opens and energizes the root Chakra, as well as links to the crown and upper Etheric Chakras for maximum benefit. Red calcite is associated with the base chakra because it is the root of all physicality.

Red calcite truly bridges the gap between our physical and spiritual existence. Red calcite calls forth our “life force energy.” It stabilizes our inner strength and willpower and can aid us with problem-solving.

This stone is particularly beneficial to people who need courage in their daily life, because it helps to ease uncertainty and release fear. It also aids in overcoming fears or insecurities concerning one’s sexuality and sexual preference and can even attract new love.

This loving stone further balances the endocrine system, assists with reproductive health, and helps to balance the birth process. It is also beneficial for tense muscles and stiff joints. It is also very useful in healing broken bones and strengthening the circulation system.

This is number six in a series of articles about the crystals I know and love to use.
