The human body is comprised of multiple intricate layers, including the physical, astral, and spiritual bodies. Within the astral body lies a sophisticated network of energy centers known as chakras.
Black Agate stimulates both the (1st Chakra) Root - Base Chakra and the Earth Star Chakra.
The Root - Base Chakra (Muladhara) which means base, foundation, and root support. It is located at the base of the spine or groin area and is the link between the physical world and our internal energetic system. Its symbol is a four petal lotus flower, with a square and a down-facing triangle. It provides the foundation on which we build our life - representing safety, security and stability.
The Earth Star Chakra (Vasundhara) "Child of the Earth," or Super Root is located below the feet within the earth at a depth of 12 to 18 inches. The Earth Star Chakra is conceived as brown or black in color and is represented by the symbol of Star Tetrahedron, also known as Merkaba. It can sometimes have leaf or earthen designs included within.
R O O T & E A R T H S T A R C H A K R A S
The Root - Base Chakra is the most vital energy center in the human body. It is the foundation on which the physical chakra system is based. Balancing the Root - Base Chakra creates a solid starting point for opening the chakras above. In order to fully balance the other chakras in the body, you must heal the root chakra first. Our chakra system is always seeking harmony, if the root chakra is out of balance, then it will be difficult to address any of the other chakras and their potential imbalances. Yes, you can isolate and work with each chakra individually but it’s important to work with the seven main chakras as a whole system, along with the individual chakra.
The Earth Star Chakra is the Zero point Chakra that connects and anchors our Chakras to the energies of Mother Earth. Through this connection, one can tap into their wisdom and healing abilities, derived from their physical and metaphysical characteristics. This range of energies and influences is vast and all-encompassing. It's associated with grounding, psychic connection, safety, support, higher consciousness, and mental clarity. It protects us from missteps, mistakes, and psychic harm. It gives the etheric and astral bodies a sense of equilibrium and interconnectivity. The Earth Star chakra works closely with the root chakra to provide stability to the entire chakra system.
It’s an excellent tool for creating and strengthening the grounding cord that extends from the Root Chakra through the Earth Star Chakra. When activated, it extends below the feet and can go deeper into the heart of Earth (Gaia) creating a solid connection and anchor to Mother Earth, allowing excess and out-of-balance energies to flow away from the body.

The Root - Base Chakra keeps our Chakra system rooted to the earth and is the gateway for ‘Life Force’ energy to enter our body. It is the core for all Chakra Centers and their proper functions, giving us strength and vitality as well as our physical and emotional needs of survival and self-preservation. The Root - Base Chakra acts as a stabilizing force and is essential for maintaining our overall well-being. It governs crucial aspects such as safety, survival, sex, and stability, providing a solid foundation for your physical and emotional state.
Because it's not located in the body, the Earth Star Chakra is part of the etheric body or energy field that extends beyond the physical form. It is our physical Chakra Systems earthly Foundation, connecting one's personal energy centers (all 7 chakras) to the greater earthly and universal energies. It is our direct link to what was before us, past lives, ancestors, karmic bonds, history, ties to nature, plants, and all species. The roots and stems you have laid before you many lifetimes ago are accessible. The easiest way to get to know this chakra is to begin spending time with the Earth.

Black and White is the Yin/Yang expression of color. Black absorbs and draws in all light, emitting no vibrations or frequencies outward… making it one of the most powerful tools for grounding and absorbing negative energies. White arises when (all colors) vibrations and frequencies are combined making it one of the most powerful tools for manifesting and “intention directed” releasing of positive energies. Think of Black and White as a filter. Black absorbs and removes all the negative, toxic energies and then White releases only the positive, purified and cleansed energies.

The Root Chakra is connected to the: Bones, Nails, Colon, Prostate gland, Gonads and Blood. An imbalance in this chakra can lead to over eating, greed. fear, rejection, excessive negativity and feelings of insecurity.
The Earth Star is our direct connection to the planet. However, this connection can easily become blocked if we lack intention to connect. Engaging in destructive actions, such as littering and overconsumption of resources, can severely impact the Earth Star chakra and cause it to tightly close. It is crucial to be mindful of our actions and their impact on the Earth Star chakra.
If our seven chakras aren’t aligned or balanced, our energies can’t flow through and connect to the Earth Star properly, and imbalances because of this can show up as negative thoughts, emotions, or physical ailments. If the Earth Star Chakra is blocked we experience a lack of “feeling connected to the earth”. This may manifest as a need for healing ancestral patterns or a desire for stability and balance in other chakras. Other signs could include a need to address karmic influences and to connect with the life force of Gaia, as well as a deeper understanding of one's purpose.

The main entrance of a home is more than just a way to enter the house. It is believed to be the gateway to success and advancement in life. Feng shui considers the main entrance to be one of the key areas of a home, often referred to as the "mouth of qi" in Classical Chinese philosophy, representing the flow of life force.
How to check the Feng Shui direction of my front door?
The facing direction of your front door can be found by standing at the entrance of your home or space and looking outside, and then, with the help of a compass, finding out where it points. Do the process at least 3 or 4 times to get the correct idea.
Feng Shui means Wind and Water – a reference to the Yin and Yang elements of the Universal Life Force – also called Qi, Chi, Prana. When this force is healthy and life bringing (positive energy). It drifts and wanders, flowing easily and bringing the breath of life. When this force becomes unhealthy (negative energy) it is either blocked and becomes stagnant or becomes destructive.
How Can I Use Crystals in Feng Shui?
Crystals and Gemstones amplify Feng Shui; Crystals themselves are powerhouses full of energy! They store energy, and move chi or energy through space or a person.
Crystal healers typically place their crystals on body chakras to influence the body and heal sickness. Placing crystals in specific locations in your home can have much of the same effects but on a broader plane.
Placed in the correct location will keep the Universal Life Force (Qi, Chi, Prana) energy flowing and balanced, so that we may experience happiness, contentment and prosper.
What are Elements?
In Feng Shui, the Universal Life Force (Qi, Chi, Prana) has five elemental components – Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, and Wood. These elements form a continuum of creation and destruction. Each element enhances one element and reduced another. Crystals can be used to enhance and reduce the elements of energy to allow the right energy in the right part of your space.
What are the benefits of using Crystals in feng shui?
According to feng shui experts, proper balance of the five elements and harmonizing the Qi in your home can bring numerous benefits such as:
- Attract wealth
- Find love
- Keep your relationship stable
- Achieve career success
- Improve your health
- Increase your vitality
- Guard against misfortune

C L E A N S I N G & C H A R G I N G :
Cleanse = Eliminates Stagnant Energy.
Charging = Crystals need to be Charged in order to Replenish their Energy, just like a battery!
Crystals & Gemstones function similarly to batteries, emitting positive energy at a specific frequency into our bodies, resulting sometimes in a tingling sensation. Crystals absorb and convert negative energy, but they have to use their own energy to create a protective shield, which is necessary for deflecting or repelling negativity. When we use a crystal, it will eventually run out of energy and need to be recharged, just like a battery. In its depleted state, the crystal may have also absorbed negative energy, necessitating cleansing and then recharging it.
C L E A N S E
Cleanse by running under Spring water, using Sage Smoke, Intention or place on a bowl of Earth mixed with light salt. Sunlight and Moonlight can be used as well. Always follow your intuition.
C H A R G E
Charge by placing on or near Selenite, Quartz Crystal or Smokey Quartz. You can also charge by placing your crystals in Sunlight for 1 - 3 hours or Overnight during a Full Moon - place your crystals on a table by a window or on a windowsill.
P R O G R A M M I N G
