Foot Chakras - Red This the area that I want to write to you about today. Last week I was telling Tina that my feet were cold and have been cold for a while. She said it is because I am having a hard time moving forward in my life. I thought about that this week. Our feet represent our path and how they feel is a reflection of how we feel about our path.  That being said I did some research about the Foot Chakra. There is a chakra at our feet that allows the energy from the Earth to flow through us. When we look at this chakra at our feet we may see gray wisps of energy flowing from it and away from us.

As my feet 'lit up' I found that my feet warmed up and I was able to make decisions to move forward with some projects that I have set aside for a while...

Quartz Crystal Category Silicate Mineral Formula – Silica - ( silicon dioxide , SiO 2 ) Crystal Symmetry - Trigonal Color - Transparent, sometimes with cloudy areas. Crystal Habit – 6-sided prism ending in 6-sided pyramid (typical) drusy Streak - white Geography – Brazil, Madagascar, USA, Can be found world wide Moh’s Scale 7-8 Quartz belongs to the  trigonal   crystal system . The  ideal crystal shape  is a six-sided  prism  terminating with six-sided pyramids  at each end. In nature quartz crystals are often  twinned , distorted, or so intergrown with adjacent crystals of quartz or other minerals as to only show part of this shape, or to lack obvious crystal faces altogether and appear massive. Well-formed crystals typically form in a 'bed' that has unconstrained growth into a void, but because the crystals must be attached at the other end to a matrix; only one termination pyramid is present.
