Since ages man has found power and mysticism in stones and crystals. Early races of humanity used them for protection and to dispel negative energies. Until the crystals are dug from the earth they lie silently in the lap of mother earth. Once put to use they can definitely affect our physical body, our luck and environment around us.
Modern technology use clear quartz crystals in radio transmitting and receiving signals. Computer chips are a type of crystals, storing and releasing information in the form of electromagnetic energy. The credit card carried in your wallet contains tiny crystals storing vital personal information.
Crystals are widely used for healing, and there is a transcendent nature attached to crystals. The possession of crystal brings about the change which is instrumental in bringing process of healing. This is called consciousness opening or spiritual initiation.
The properties of crystals can be measured scientifically for electromagnetic energy, piezoelectric energy as well as for known chemical substances. On the other hand, no instrument can measurement the consciousness factor involved in the healing process.
Before the crystals are to be used they are cleansed, charged, activated and programmed.
Cleansing removes negative energy in crystals which comes from its earlier owner or place. Cleansing involves putting the crystals in salt water overnight. Charging ensures crystals are ready electromagnetically, sunlight charges crystals with ultraviolet light, sunlight balance and recoup the male energy (yang). Dug up crystals contains more of female energy, called yin. Activation involves awakening the consciousness in crystal. This can be accomplished by holding the crystals in hand, sleeping with it placing it beneath pillow, gazing at it. This process starts the energy connection with the person using the crystal.
Programming is final process done before using it for healing. Each crystal comes with in built set of instructions, it has its own mission or, say, healing properties along with a spiritual energy center, which is ready to store a new set of instructions. The crystalline structure of the crystal is capable of storing the thought energy. If the thought energy is for healing, crystal will resonate and amplify the energy, which at subtle level becomes instrumental in initiating healing.
In her book entitled Crystal Healing, (Octopus Publishing Group, 2005) Judy Hall believes that “Crystals absorb, focus, transmute and transmit electro magnetic energy after all they have lain within the earth’s magnetic field for millennia”.
Crystals come in different colour, size, texture, chemical composition. This aspect makes them unique for using them for particular purpose or disease. This is attributable to its built in natural set of instructions. Some of the basic healing crystals are,
Clear Quartz: Amplifies thoughts and intensions.
Amethyst: Spiritual awareness, remove bad habits and addiction.
Rose Quartz: Calming effect.
Smokey Quartz: Dissolves negative energy.
The list is endless. Experiments can be started with one or two crystals according to the individual need. Watch for emerging changes. After crystals have been charged, they can be made a permanent companion. Keeping them always in your pocket or bag, placing them on table or hanging them in the room increases their effect. A piece of clear crystal kept beneath the pillow enhances peaceful sleep. And crystals are not. They are easily available from the local jewelers, online or via shops that promote holistic healing.
Life qualities can be enhanced by the nature’s most beautiful gift.
