Pendant :)

I received my pendant yesterday, as well as a beautiful little calcite orb Starlene threw in as a gift. They're both beautiful pieces. The pendant truly emanates a beautiful Reiki energy. I haven't taken it off since I took it out of the packaging, and I don't really plan to (with the exceptions of exercise and showering). Resting above my heart chakra, I know that this piece was truly meant to be mine. I knew it as soon as I'd seen it on the website.

One of the reasons I was attracted to it was the fact that howlite has been used to treat insomnia caused by an overactive mind. This happens to me many nights. So last night, I wore it to bed. At first, I was having the same problems -- tossing and turning, not being able to shut off my brain. And then an idea came to me. I decided to lay flat on my back with the stone resting on my third eye and just meditate.

Wow.

I was out like a light, and I didn't wake in the middle of the night, either. I slept so deeply that I can't recall any dreams I might have had, which is a little odd. I've started keeping my amethyst crystal cluster on my nightstand to aid my sleep and enhance my dreams. I've had incredibly vivid and recallable dreams since then, with the exception of one or two nights now. I can't wait to add the moonstone to the mix. :)

The calcite orb is a wonderful little addition! At first, I thought I might keep it on my altar, but it seems to have a better fit on my top lamp shelf, right next to my piano.

Calcite is an awesome high vibration stone that will rock your world if you let it! It is also a detoxification gem that will get slow or sluggish or negative energy moving along again, all while purifying and detoxifying your space. Calcite amplifies energy and also cleanses negative energies. It works to speed up physical development, growth, and also aids in spiritual development.

Calcite helps to alleviate stress by removing the negative energies of stress and replacing it with serenity. The energy in calcite will have a positive effect on someone that feels stagnant or has no motivation. Calcite will energize a person, project, and the intellect, therefore it is a helpful stone when studying.

Calcite is also powerful detoxification for the body, working on the intestinal and heart and elimination systems in the body.

Golden calcite is particularly connected to the sexual and creative energies of one's life. It helps to stimulate those areas of their life so that things can start to flow again. I personally use calcite when I feel stuck on a project to get things flowing again. It works well in conjunction with fluorite to help me focus my energies on any particular area.

Good thing I'm receiving a few pieces of fluorite soon, hm? :) No coincidences!

Love and harmony all of your days.
