Introduction to Crystals

Mother Earth has an abundance of crystals on offer and these crystals have been part of our lives dating back from ancient civilizations to this very day.  The uses of clear quartz crystal are unlimited in both the healing field and the scientific and industrial field.   In Atlantis and Lemuria, they were used as highly evolved tools because of the purity of their light beam and their ultrasonic transmitting power, much as today’s electronic world and industry use them.  In Egypt they were used as amplification devices.  Crystals were put next to wires when lines of communication were broken.  To the American Indian culture it has been, and remains their most sacred stone, a symbol of light in the earth.  In some tribes, the baby’s cord is cut with a crystal, which of course, establishes the connection with the earth and light right after birth.  The crystals are used in their homes, during ceremonies and rituals and is buried with the dead.  A variety of crystals are available each with specific qualities.  Generally, their colour is a guide if you know for what purpose it is intended. 

Each crystal is uniquely different, able to collect and emit electromagnetic energy.   Our bodies are surrounded by an electromagnetic field or aura, which is influenced by other electromagnetic forces around us.  Crystals harness the highest form of energy within their structure and emit this energy to those who wear crystals or who are around crystals.  Automatically your energy or aura is harmonized.Crystals are living and conscious; able to communicate with people.  In order to program them, take the crystal in your hands, establish your intention and then breathe (your program) directly onto the crystal while holding it in your cupped hands, they should be put up to your mouth or heart.   This gesture is found in several of the myths about the creation of the world. 

Choosing Crystals:     It is simple. Use your intuition.  Look at all the crystals on offer and choose the one or ones that you feel most drawn to.  Do not analyse the reasons you feel more drawn to a particular crystal, simply trust your innate wisdom. You can also hold your hand over all the crystals and choose the one that promotes the strongest tingling feeling in the palm of your hand.  On different days you will be drawn to different crystals, depending on what you are experiencing in your life at the time and what energy you need to work with.  You may like to keep some crystals within your home or workplace to create specific energy in various rooms or spaces.

Crystals in Meditation:      Meditating with crystals can be as simple as holding the crystal you are most drawn to in your hand while keeping focus on your breathing.  It can be  an elaborate exercise – making a circle of crystals around your space or holding particular crystals for their unique shape or properties.  A healing meditation can involve holding the crystal over the area of your body that is in need and then focusing on the crystals energy pouring into your body to heal the tissues underneath.   You can use a crystal for its properties when you feel that you need balancing in a particular are of your life.  In this way crystals help to release energy blocks which may be preventing you from moving forward.  If you feel your home or workplace contains a low vibration, lift it by using higher vibration of crystals.  

The Mother of all Crystals:    

The clear quartz crystal is one of the most sacred stones ever.   It is the highest expression of the mineral kingdom.  It is sometimes more clear and transparent than water.  It catches the light and reflects beautiful rainbows.  It is a symbol of radiant white light energy.    

Choose a clear quartz crystal from our samples……..size or shape does not matter.  Hold the crystal, observe it, feel it, establish a relationship with it as we learn more about it.  The quartz symbol is a mirror our soul.  It represents our struggle for clarity.  The bottom of the crystal is usually dense, opaque.  As it grows through countless struggles, it gets clearer and clearer.  We, too, strive to achieve clarity of purpose and of being after our various struggles.

Its power lies also in its structure, growing, reaching up towards the light, from the depths of the earth.  Its apex is like a pyramid, representing the forces of trinity, doubled.  Trinity being the idea that three forces are necessary for anything new to happen which are active, passive and neutralizing. The more pointed the apex, the more perfect its healing power, which can be used as a laser beam.  For this purpose three sides should touch. 

The quartz crystal acts as a catalyst, a conductor of energy.  It is both a receiver and transmitter.  It is a protective ally that balances and harmonizes the aura giving it equilibrium.  Crystals attune themselves automatically to human vibrations because of their affinity with the human spirit, creating spiritual links when they are worn or held.  Remember to wash your crystal and keep it clean so it can protect you from outside negative vibrations.

The clear quartz crystal itself is a force field of light and energy which can be used as a sonic protection against negativity.  This property exists in all sizes of crystals including the small ones we wear to carry.  The passage of ions through the molecular structure makes them a valuable aid in clearing and neutralizing negative conditions in the aura of people of all ages.  It can be used to cleanse the atmosphere of large areas, such as our homes or places of work.

It can become our own personal healer for the body as well as a tranquilizer and transformer for the spirit.  It helps our intuitive insight, to see the light in the darkness, to be our own light.  When laid on the body the crystal quartz decrystallizes the knots which block the flow of energy.
