Drive gets us through life, it gets things done. We are driven as a species to want to succeed. Sometimes, however, we may begin to lose focus and therefore drive. Life and its obstacles can get in the way quite often. Especially if we experience any sort of mental illness such as depression, drive is something than can easily be lost. The good news is, it can just as easily be found again with the help of crystals. We need drive in our lives, it keeps us moving when we want to sit down for a while. It helps us get promotions, follow our dreams, and pass exams. If we aren’t moving forward we are stagnant, drive keeps us propelling through the waterways of life. Even if your drive has been lost for a while, with the healing power of crystals mixed with their potent and energetic vibrations, your drive can once again be returned to you.

When something needs drive, passion, and focus in the crystal world, we turn to none other than bright and fiery red. Red is the color of desire, energy, and life. It motivates. It is a very strong color, the color of fire and blood. It is emotionally intense and affects humans by raising their blood pressure and speeding up their metabolism. Red is a call to action, a battle cry, and a sign of warning. It excites us, raises our enthusiasm, and gives us energy. Red crystals are used when the situation needs passion: active, involved, energetic action. Red empowers, uplifts, and engulfs. It cures apathy. It gets things done. Red is action and drive.

If you are suffering from a lack of power, listlessness, or a low emotional state, you need more red. Like the scarlet ray, the red ray brings us a self-confidence built on fearlessness. When the need is for action without hesitation or self-doubt, use a crystal with a fiery ray of bright red. Red colored crystals also bring us increased energy, courage, inner strength, drive, determination, and self-worth. In essence it is the perfect crystal color for drive.

It assists in identifying one’s personal ideas and beliefs about sexual expression or orientation, and helps release shame or guilt around these issues.
