| CRYSTALS I believe that each of us has the infinite power of the universe within our own self which allows us to create, manifest or heal whatever we desire, but sometimes we seem to find it easier to accept support from outside our own self. With this in mind and trusting that crystals also have life force energy, they can be used as another tool or facilitator for our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual healing(s). All crystals contain "universal energies", and in knowing this, you can with pure intent, connect with the energy of your crystal, thus furthering the increase of love, light, joy and healing. The utilization of crystals is an ancient healing art. Although, ultimately one must heal themselves, the process may be simplified by the presence or use of many things, one of which is the use of crystals. Each and every crystal, rock, stone, gem, and/or mineral has a metaphysical and physical property, thus making each crystal embrace thier own unique energies. Crystals come in all shapes and sizes and thier physical aspects can help you determine what they can be used for. For example, a single terminated crystal has a point or termination at only one end. This type of crystal is great for directing energy, for the energy natually emits from the terminated side, thus making it a great crytal to assist in healing. Clusters are another form of crystal, they are single terminated but they share the same base. Thier energy is more diffused. One of the more common uses for the clusters is to clear energy from certain areas. The double terminated crystal has two terminations or points, one on either end of itself, making itself complete, for the energy exits both ends. This shape of crystal is beneficial in the use of arrays. The rock crystal whether it is tumbled, raw or cut are excellent stones to meditate with. You may also use these forms of crystals in facilitating healing, but you must direct the energy flow of the crystal for they naturally they emit a diffused energy. Knowing that each crystal has its own unique energy, some crystals may feel more powerful or energized than another. I may hold a crystal and feel nothing and you may hold the same stone and feel its energy, it all depends on what we need at that moment in time. Choosing crystals is a very personal process, for we are all different, emitting our own energy, and crystals emitting thiers. After you purchase your crystals take care to cleanse and charge it, then being sure to store it in an open sunny location. (Rose quartz, amethyst, celestite, and citrine are best kept out of direct sunlight, for these crystals will fade.) Crystals do absorb unbalanced and negative energies, especially ones that are used in healing work, so be sure to cleanse and recharge your crystals regularly. Crystals do appreciate being trteated with love and care, also be sure to thank them after use. Remember as the saying goes "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". I could honestly go on and on about crystals, but I don't think I would have enough web space. (Laugh out loud) So below I am going to list a couple of my personal favorites. I have worked with each of the stones listed and find each to have thier own personalities. I use them in my meditations and healing work. I also often sleep with or place one on my nightstand keeping the crystal in my auric field. Remember when working with crystals it is a personal choice, what may work for someone else may not work for you. Two people can use the same crystal and experience two different energies or vibrations, it is a very individual experience. |
