Calcite is one of the most diverse and important groups of minerals that can be attuned to humans to stimulate and reinforce the process of spiritual evolution. Calcite occurs in natural rhomboid shapes, finger-like growths, crystallized formations, and block deposits in at least nine different colors. Each of these colors represents specific significance that will lend us aid to the functions of our mental and etheric activities. Calcite offers to us the assistance of integrating the etheric and mental bodies so that our comprehension of divine wisdom can take place within third dimension realities (manifestation)

It has been said that Calcite is a "world healer" for humanity. Calcite facilitates macrocosmic awareness by giving us an appreciation for the creative forces of nature, and that this stone will make for an excellent ally when studying the arts and sciences. 

The placement of the various colors of calcite upon our bodies induces the amplification of our energy field. By placing calcite of the proper chakra color upon the chakra, it has been documented that these stones will clear the chakra, active and even "sweep" residual blocked energy from surrounding centers. 

Some of my favorite pieces of calcite to work with are:

Orange Calcite: Orange calcite is a stone that is particularly helpful mentally. It can relieve emotional fear, mental breakdown, depression, accidents, and suicidal thoughts. It is particularly helpful with phobias. Orange calcite can also give a gentle boost to psychic abilities and intuition.  

Blue Calcite: Blue calcite is a stone that is especially calming and soothing. It is great for calming frayed nerves, and calmly expressing differences. Blue calcite is also an excellent stone for students as it helps retain lessons learned and amplifies learning.

Green Calcite: Green calcite assist in dissolving old rigid belief systems, and restoring balance to your mind. It aids any transition from a stagnant to a positive environment. This specific color of calcite can be used to assist in the manifestation process. Green Calcite also brings in the energy of trust, allowing that what has been manifested will be received

Calcite Meditation

1. Select the color of calcite that intuitively you feel the most drawn to.

2. Cleanse and bless your calcite prior to doing any meditation/healing work. Set an intention in your mind prior to getting started. In a dimly lit room, you will begin your rhythmic breathing. As you inhale, visualize a cleansing golden/white light that is surrounding your body. Entering through your nostrils with each inhale, filling your lungs, chest cavity, and heart center. 

3. As you exhale, release discordant energy. visualize all stress, tension, and frustrations leaving your body in dark cloudy swirls. Bless these vibrations as you sen them into the ether. Bless them in the name of the higher power of your preference, and this can be your higher self. Continue your rhythmic breathing for 3-5 minutes, or until your body has become relaxed. 

4. Pick up your calcite, and place it into your left hand (o opposite if you are left handed). Gazing upon the calcite, attune yourself to  it's energy. If you wish to work with a specific chakra, place the colored calcite to the appropriate chakra. Or you may simply wish to hold the crystal in your hand. 

5. Keep the calcite on your desired chakra, or in your hand as you continue your breathing. You may envision light emitting from your  stone and healing/amplifying your energy center. relax and allow yourself to attune.

6. When you are ready to return from your calcite meditation, slowly count backwards from ten to one. Remain seated, and do not open your eyes! 

7.Visualize your feet planting firmly into the Earth, see the roots pass through your floor, anchoring themselves into the heart of Mother Earth. When you have completed this visualization, count back again, and at the count of one, open your eyes. Breathe deeply several times knowing you are firmly grounded in the third dimension.
