Crystal Colours Continued

Coloured Crystals 

In my last article I covered the colours of yellow, green, clear, orange, and red crystals. (see previous article)

Violet Charoite
PURPLE CRYSTALS

Indigo helps those people who are undisciplined or distrustful, or who may even fear success therefore they set their sights too low. Violet Charoite helps infants to sleep peacefully and offer protection from nightmares and insomnia. It can also release hidden fears. 

Amethyst which is another wonderful violet crystal is calming and soothing and can help with people whom often have erratic or over emotional thoughts. 

PINK CRYSTALS

Pink crystals such as rose quartz which is the most popular bring great emotional healing. The pink quartz is also known as the love stone as it is a very seductive crystal and has the ability to transmute all stored-up negative issues of self worth, self confidence and self acceptance. It can greatly help to remove any resistance you may have with unresolved emotional stress. 

Pale pink Kunzite balances and integrates the head and hear energy chakras and centers. If we are to understand the subtleties of emotional disease then these stones can offer help in a holistic way. 

WHITE CRYSTALS

Stones such as Snow Quartz, milky quartz or selenite can be very soothing on the emotions and if feeling stressful, hot or suffering from inflammation these stones will help you to cool down. 

BLACK CRYSTALS

Smokey Quartz and grounding stones such as Haematite, black tourmaline and jet can help to bring emotional security. Obsidian will go to the root cause of any emotional imbalances and help to release them. Black Onyx will help to release fears and worries plus any old emotional hurts that you may have been hanging onto and that may be buried deep in your subconscious. 

MULTICOLORED CRYSTALS
Opals amplifies personality traits


Gems that hold and display several colours can provide a spectrum of healing energies that are very effective at healing the emotions. Opal amplifies personality traits, which can bring them to the surface for healing. Abalone balances fear, anxiety and nervousness.

Crystal Colours

Colour & Emotional Healing

 

Your spontaneous response to colour is a great way of intuitively choosing a crystal to balance your emotions, as different colours have different healing properties. You will be surprised how often the choice of coloured crystal you choose will very often identify your underlying feelings. 

CLEAR CRYSTALS
Clear crystals such as clear quartz, Herimer Diamonds or Apophyllite will throw light on your emotional situation. By just holding or carrying a clear quartz can instantly lighten your emotions bringing peace and harmony. 

RED CRYSTALS
Red crystals can help you achieve your very hearts desire. Using a ruby for instance or red stone can disperse imbalances of the heart such as guilt or unworthiness that may have blocked your self confidence. It can also provide you with the necessary emotional fuel to help you to move forwards by releasing stagnant built up energy. A garnet and zircon will help to lift melancholy and can help to release feelings of failure and fear. 

ORANGE CRYSTALS

An orange carnelian helps to heal the etheric body and so can keep you grounded and stop you from withdrawing into a fantasy world. Often used in chakra balancing it can help to focus your emotions and offers you protection from envy and hatred or rage from others. Carnelian is a good life-force supplement and can help to put behind you past physical abuse. Amber is an excellent stone to be used for the Aura and can heal gaps and holes in the aura that maybe causing emotional imbalances. 

PEACH CRYSTALS
Peach crystals such as Morganite, peach moonstone and peach calcite can help to stabilize volatile emotions. These stones are excellent for learning self-love, especially for the part of yourself where you feel you have been judged and may have feelings of rejection or have felt unlovable. 

YELLOW CRYSTALS
Yellow Citrine is a most energizing and uplifting stone and is helpful for anyone suffering from depression. Can help to ease suicidal tendencies.

GREEN CRYSTALS

Emeral, Dioptase, Malachite and Green Tourmaline are known as diagnostic stones that can help to really get to the heart of any problem. Peridot heals the negative energy of the green ray - jealousy, resentment, selfishness, hypochondria, greed and spite. Pale Green can help release fears of failure. It can also be helpful for people who need to put on a brave face and can help them to honor these feelings of pain whilst at the same time gently releasing them. 

In our next article on crystals the following colored crystals will be covered. Purple, Pink, White, Black and Multicolored. (see crystal colours continued)

Crystal Layouts

Crystal Layouts

Crystal layouts are set patterns of certain crystals and stones placed on and round the body. Each layout is designed to balance our vital energy in a particular way. Some layouts (known as nets) call for the client to lie upon a cloth of a particular colour in order to amplify the positive effect of the crystals. Most layouts require the client to lay down, however if you are working alone and doing a self treatment ensure that the crystals you need are within easy reach before you begin your session. 

How Long Should the Stone be left?

To get the benefit of the crystals you do not actually need to leave the stones too long.
Aprox 5 to 10 mins is usually quite sufficient. 

What type of stones/crystals?

Many crystal therapists use an assortment of crystals and tumble stones, however some layouts do require crystal points, which will direct energy in a more precise manner than tumbles stones. 

Chakra Balancing Layout - Rainbow Chakra Balance

Place the correct coloured stones relating to the right chakras for a 5 minute chakra balance top up

To recharge and balance the body's energy centers then you will need to have a selection of chakra crystals and the appropriate coloured crystals should be placed on or around the body as described below.

Crystal Tips

Crystal Tips


It is thought that the best way to get the benefit out of crystals is to wear one, but carrying them with you, in either your pocket, bra, shirt pocket or bag is just as helpful. You can also place crystals around your home such as a rose quartz for instance will attract peace and love so is ideal for your bedroom. In feng shui it is believed that a piece of Citrine placed in the wealth corner of your home will boost your finances.

Crystal Energy

The energies from Crystals which are electro magnetic, work with the human body to encourage it to heal itself. Crystals no only work on the physical body but also the mental, emotional and spiritual. If you are taking medication then crystals will work in harmony with this.

Getting the best out of your Crystals

To really get the benefit from your crystals you should cleanse and re-charge them at least once a month. To cleanse your crystals you can run them under running water, pass through incense smoke to cleanse, or place them on a windowsill and leave in the full light of a full moon. The sunshine will also charge your crystals so you can rinse them and place in a bowl and leave on a sunny window ledge.


Who uses Crystals?

In past times the Ancient Egyptians and physicians used them to grind into a powder and mix them with various liquids to form a medicine. However we now know we do not need to do this and in our modern times  they are used by Crystal healers, Crystal therapists and Practitioners, Angel Healers and Reiki Healers, to name just a few.


Do you need to believe in Crystals?

No; you do not need to believe in crystals for them to work for you - they just do.

Can any one learn to use Crystals?

Yes; this is becoming a more and more popular therapy treatment and there are many courses online   or workshops and local holistic centers that are offering these treatments and also lessons in how to use crystals.

Crystal Power

The Power of Crystals

According to Robert W. Wood D. HP he makes a note that according to quantum physics, everything in the universe has an atomic structure - and that includes gemstones and crystals. They contain atomic energy, and this is the most powerful energy known on earth. Others talk of colour frequency. Red, orange and blue may seem to be different colours, but they are in fact all part of the same spectrum of light and any therapist whom works with colour will tell you. Similarly, we tend to think of light, heat and radio waves as being different from each other, but there is a connection. The electromagnetic spectrum represents the complete range of radiation including gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet light, visible white light (visible to the human eye), infra-red light, microwaves and radio waves. Just because you cant see it does not mean its not there. Similar to when listening to a radio, you can hear the sound but do not see where it is coming from, and so it is with the power of crystals. Therefore the power associated with Gemstones and Crystals falls into this "can.t be see or heard " category. 

What can we use crystals for?

It would be easier to say what can't you use them for as their uses are so diverse. Apart from the obvious of wearing crystals as jewelry and having a wonder chandelier there are many more uses that where crystals are used that you may not even be aware of. LCDs (liquid crystal displays)  are used in a wide range of applications including computer monitors, televisions, instrument panels, aircraft cockpit displays, and signage. They are common in consumer devices such as video players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones, and have replaced cathode ray tube (CRT) displays in most applications.

Crystal Healing

The practitioner places crystals on different parts of the body, often corresponding to chakras, or places crystals around the body in an attempt to construct an "energy grid", which is purported to surround the client with healing energy.
According to practitioners, when the stones are placed in the area of the chakras, the colour of the stones may be chosen so as to correspond to the colour which is said to be associated with the corresponding chakra. Stones are used at the feet to try to "ground" the individual, or held in the hands. Practitioners sometimes use crystal wands, which are placed near the receiver's body, or near a certain 'blocked' chakra

JADE
Different cultures have used crystal healing over time, including the Hopi Native Americans of Arizona and Hawaiian islanders. The Chinese have traditionally attributed healing powers to microcrystalline jade, and some other eastern cultures believe that emerald will strengthen the memory and increase intelligence.

In Feng Shui, Jade has over the centuries been used for harmony and balance due to its serene abilities.

Crystal Therapy

To have knowledge and possess the necessary skills in this subject can be a helpful tool to assist not only yourself but others in dealing with many conditions including  mental and emotional difficulties. To learn Crystal Therapy is the beginning of a fascinating and exciting journey into the world of healing with crystals.




This course is all you need to know to become a professional Crystal Therapist who can make extra income in something that you love to do and others can also benefit from your knowledge and skills in this particular holistic therapy.

Crystal Therapy - Working with Sapphires

Crystal Therapy - Benefits of Sapphire

By: Mercedes Aspland

In this article we are going to look at what crystal therapy is, as well as the properties of sapphire. Once we have explored the properties of sapphire we will consider ways in which you can use it to your advantage and the conditions that can be helped by sapphire.

What is Crystal Therapy?

The principle behind crystal therapy is that each crystal has a certain energy. This energy acts on the body and the mind of a person and can result in a change of mental and physical health. The way in which crystals are used can very quite significantly but the basic idea is that a person comes into close proximity with a crystal on a regular basis. It is important to fully assess the situation to ensure you find the right crystal for your particular condition.

What are the Properties of Sapphire?

Sapphire is derived from the Greek word for blue and that is largely due to the way in which we usually experience sapphires. However although they are usually blue and that can be any blue from very pale to almost black you can also get sapphires in a variety of different colours including pink, green, yellow, violet, white and black. Sapphires are thought to be stones that signify mental clarity. In addition sapphires are thought to have the properties of love, joy and fidelity.

Uses and Benefits of Sapphires

As mentioned already there are a large number of different varieties of sapphires and each of them will have different healing powers. Below we are going to consider a list of different coloured sapphires and how they can help you:

1. Black Sapphire - this stone is one that is really good for keeping you grounded and protected. So if you are the type of person who can easily get carried away it might be a good stone to keep with.

2. Blue Sapphire - this is the most common sapphire you will come across and has a number of benefits. It is a stone that is linked to the throat chakra which means it can encourage truth and also help with healing the throat. It is also thought to be a stone that can aid people with communication. In addition a blue sapphire is also thought to be very calming and so could be beneficial if you focus on it during meditation.

3. Green Sapphire - this stone can help to balance your heart chakra. In addition it can be useful at boosting your immune system.

4. Dark Blue Sapphire - this one is highly linked to spiritual ability and is thought to activate your third eye.

5. Other Sapphires - they have a number of benefits including pink which can help fill the heart chakra with unconditional love, purple which can encourage enlightenment and white which can strengthen your connections with the heavens and angels.

When you are looking for these stones you can buy them in either a natural state or a highly polished state and can be used in a variety of ways. If you want to get a benefit from a sapphire you could keep the stone in your room, in your pocket or meditate with it. The main benefits of sapphires are for spiritual and emotional healing. If you think you could benefit from the use of sapphires then it is a completely safe treatment to try and could give you significant benefits.

Choosing the right Crystal for you

How to Choose the right Crystal

There is such a variety of crystals it really can seem overwhelming knowing which one to choose or which one is right for you. Of course depending on your mood or what is happening in your life at the current time then your choice of crystal will vary. For instance if are feeling a little down or depressed you may find yourself drawn to choosing a clear or Lithium Quartz. These quite often offer relief from stress and tension and help you to think about a situation with more clarity. 

It is not always easy to choose a crystal by just the look of it, sometimes you really need to pick it up and hold it. By doing this you will get in tune with the vibration of the crystal and even though you may not know why you will have a feeling that it just feel right. Quite often our higher- selves know what we need and so you will be instinctively drawn to a certain crystal or colour. 

Choosing a Crystal for others



Of course when it come to choosing for someone else then your methods may vary. For instance you may know your friend loves the colour purple so would be drawn to a lovely piece of amethyst, however this may not be what they need at this time. To ensure you get it just right there are a number of methods that you can choose. Visualize your friend and ask your guide or angel to connect with theirs so that you may choose the crystal that will be for their highest good at this time. You maybe surprised that you may suddenly feel drawn to another one which at first glance would not have been of your choosing. 

Another method you can use if standing in front of a crystal stand or shop, is to close your eyes, visualise your friend and then when you open your eyes pick the first crystal you are drawn to. Do not hesitate as this is a method to connect to your intuition. 

Choosing Crystals to wear




When choosing any crystal to actually wear I personally think it is important to see the crystal, try and feel its energy regardless of whether it is in  a real shop or just a virtual shop online,  and of course you must like the colour. It is recommended that when you get home you  wash your crystal under clear water for a few moments and whilst doing this ask your guides to help this crystal bring you good luck and positive energy. You should also wash crystals on a regular basis to avoid them gaining a low vibration.

Balance your Chakras

BALANCE YOUR CHAKRAS 

Balance your Chakras with Meditation


It is important that none of the chakras are blocked and that the energy is well balanced and flowing freely. Chakra means ‘wheel’ and I find it helpful to think of each one as a wheel turning, when you want to unblock them just imagine them as turning quite fast and the more they are unblocked the smoother and faster the wheel turns. When Chakras are out of balance they can affect the way you both feel and act. A simple meditation will help keep them aligned.
To meditate into your Chakras without using crystals simple lie on the floor, relax and aim to visualise all your chakras as coloured orbs of the same size.
Check each one and if you sense any black spots in or around the orb visualise these spots disappearing. Once you have cleansed all the chakras check they are in a straight line, any that you feel are out of line simply concentrate on that one until you feel it drop back into place.

Balancing with Chakra Stones

By laying the correct stone on the correct chakra this is the first step in balancing your chakras. When working with the chakras to unblock them you shall only choose one stone for each individual chakra.

You can leave these resting on the chakras for a aprox 5 mins and using a dowsing tool you can check if the chakras are blocked. We have a number of mini courses on "How to See Auras" "Understanding Chakras" which you can request for free from our website, however to really understand this subject in full it is recommended that you study one of our fully recognised and accredited diploma/certificate courses in this subject. 
Home Study Courses in working with Chakras, Crystals and Auras
Luna Holistics has over 20 holistic healing courses on offer that you can study from home, however by far the most popular courses are in the above subjects.

Programming your Crystals

Encoding/Programming Your Stones

The purpose of programming your crystals is to focus its abilities on something you specifically need, thereby magnifying the crystals intent through your own. It then becomes a much more useful and powerful tool. Hold the crystal in your hand and sense its energy. Do this after it has been cleansed. As you sense the energy, appreciate it, ask quietly to be connected to it, even though they are not animate, they are still living things.
You can now place your hands lightly on your crystals and say a few words of dedication, such as, ‘I dedicate these crystals to the angelic realms, and I deepen my connection and heighten my receptivity to angelic guidance.  Once you have sensed what you can from the energy then think of what you will be using that particular crystal for. Ask if the gemstone is willing to act in the way you wish. The crystals energy may increase with a yes or seem to fade with a no. Once you have been given the all clear so to speak, your crystal has now been energised and will be very powerful.
All crystals can help us gain insight into the angelic domain, but some angels and archangels do have a certain affinity for particular crystals. Use your own intuition when choosing which crystals to use, but in the next lesson I will give you some ideas of which stones augur well with which Archangels.

Crystals and Gems

 Crystal Jewelry ... The Power To Heal? by Sam Serio
crystal bracelet
learn about healing with crystals
References to the power of crystals and gems and their use in spiritual and healing rituals can be found in the ancient Mayan and Hebrew civilizations. Today the practice of using stones and crystals continues with ordinary people across the world who claim extraordinary results.
By stimulating a person's thought, it is believed that crystals stimulate healing - both physical and non-physical. Stones in the red family -- red, yellow and orange -- are prized for their ability to produce energy. On the other end of the spectrum, blue, violet, and lavender stones have a calming effect. In between are the clear and aquamarine stones that having healing properties.
Many people use and combine crystals to improve a variety of physical, mental, and spiritual conditions based on the healing properties attributed to each stone: (crystal therapy)
crystal in hand· Amethyst - This "spiritually uplifting" stone can reduce anger, and impatience.
· Aquamarine - This beautiful stone protects your heart and your immune system and aids communications on all levels…especially on the physical and spiritual planes
· Carnelian - The perfect stone for targeting your body's system, carnelian is a "stimulant" for your circulatory system, kidneys, appetite, emotions, and sexuality. It bestows confidence, assertiveness, and an unstoppable drive to succeed.
· Citrine - Citrine can help with acid indigestion, food disorders, and allergies with cleansing powers aimed at your spleen, kidneys, liver, urinary system, and intestines. Mentally, citrine is valuable for emotional clarity, willpower, optimism, and self-discipline.
· Coral - Use coral to strengthen your muscles and spine, and to promote bone and tissue regeneration. When it comes to your feels, coral can enliven and enrich your experience of emotions.
· Diamond - A symbol of prosperity and love, diamonds increase personal clarity, trust, and confidence. They also amplify your thoughts and allow you to expand your strengths and positive attitudes.
· Emerald: You'll breathe easier thanks to the positive effect of emeralds on your respiratory system. Emeralds can also help you get a good night's sleep and are believed to reduce the pain of childbirth.
· Jade: The crystal of choice for courage, knowledge, justice, compassion, emotional balance, humility, generosity, harmony, wealth, and long life.
· Lapis: Anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, shyness, nervous system, speech, hearing, pituitary, inflammation, pain. Mind expansion, intuition, creativity, spiritual connection. Organize, quiet the mind.
· Malachite: Let go with malachite. Use it to release pain, reduce inflammation, and rid yourself of anger and depression.
· Ruby: It seems only natural that the red, red ruby is valuable for blood clots, blood cleansing, menstrual pain, and even impotency. Rubies simulate circulation and "amp up" the pituitary gland.
· Sapphire: Sapphires are used to reduce inflammation, lower fevers, and put an end to nosebleeds. They are also valuable for helping you tap into your intuition.

Crystals Energy Healing Ground Breaking Research

Crystals Energy Healing Ground Breaking Research by Crystalharmony
Nat Bondar was born in Ukraine while it was part of the Soviet empire, she developed acute, natural clairvoyance at the age of nine years old and "fine tuned" it throughout her adolescence. After the Chernobyl disaster, she used her vision to see whether food was safe to eat or not as many fruit and vegetables would have a "black cloud" of radiation around them. She would also see the energetic residues of herbicides and pesticide chemicals on food and learnt to discriminate what she and her family should eat or drink. She moved to the UK in 2001.
In July 2002, Nat & I began a pioneering research project into the energetic healing qualities of crystals and stones. We wanted answers to some as yet unanswered questions; 'why do crystals have therapeutic qualities', 'what gives them these qualities' and 'exactly how do they work'?
The first realization about the therapeutic qualities of crystals and stones is that their qualities are not because of their physical form in any way; it is about their subtle mineral energies – that is where their healing and spiritual influences lie. Where they have an energetic quality – it comes from an energetic level not a physical one. So if the subject is to be researched at all, it has to be studied from an energetic viewpoint. That's where Nat had an advantage. She could easily switch her vision to see their energies and that was where the research began.
Initially, looking at various crystals and stones, she had tremendous confusion about what she was seeing. Some crystals had all different colours and rays, channels, waves and spirals of energy coming from them – while others seemed almost still, inert and had barely any movement of energy at all. Selenite crystals would have long "beams" of white energy flowing from either end, Topaz crystals appeared to have a "fountain" of energy coming from their points. Turquoise had an energy structure that resembled a sphere or ball shape surrounding the stone, with one hemisphere as light blue and the other half as light green. Ametrine pieces were even more bizarre, with several different energy spheres surrounding them of different colours. It really was extraordinary and at first it didn't appear to make any sense at all. She drew and later painted the energies of over 50 different crystals and stones; these images were eventually published in her 'Crystal Energy Cards' set.  Although the images appeared to show various channels and feathery waves of energy coming from the minerals; this didn't actually reflect what was going on all the time. Some stones would have one colour of energy then change to another – and some would have different channels on different levels of reality – so there would be blue and green energies – but each was independent of the other in terms of what particular subtle level she was viewing. To make them as accurate as possible; she took three years to finally complete the most general images of what the actual energies of crystals actually look like over time.
Nat realised that the way man treats minerals seemed to play a major part in answering some of the mysteries. When some minerals and crystals were polished into "tumble stones," many in this new, aesthetically attractive condition seemed to have dramatically less energy than those same minerals that were unpolished. As there seemed to be problems and contradictions with some of the polished stones, we deliberately only used the natural, rough stones and crystals from this point onwards.

An interesting observation was found with crystal and mineral candle-holders; these are quite common in holistic centres and crystal shops, particularly those cut from rose quartz or amethyst. When they have their candles lit, after some twenty seconds Nat would see a sudden "mini-energetic explosion" and the subtle mineral energy of the stone would increase its field by about 300%. This larger quantity of energy existed as long as the candle would burn, and as soon as it went out, the energy field would diminish back to its normal size. A similar situation happened with a crystal being put into a pot of earth; its energy field would grow dramatically. When we placed a crystal into a glass of water, we found the same thing happened and when the crystal was taken out of the water and dried on a cloth, its energy would shrink back down to its "normal" level. Now here we had Fire, Earth and Water; but what of Air? Surely the crystals are always in, 'Air,' so why do they change when put into another condition?
The more she examined their energy, the more she began to appreciate how extremely intricate the subtle energy channels were, both inside and outside the minerals. By changing the level of her vision, she could begin to study the different energetic structures that all minerals possess. She defined that they actually have four different ones, on four different, corresponding levels of reality. Just as we possess several subtle vehicles in our multidimensional reality; so do all minerals of the Earth. To be able to continue her research, because there were no "names" for these structures, she had to give them names.
The most primitive and primeval of all was one she called the "Quad" structure because it has four "petals" and looks like a propeller shape, it exists on a level of reality where there are only the four elemental energies of Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Each "petal" of the Quad structure allows one type of these elemental energies inside it and as the four energies enter, they are transformed to another level at the centre of the structure.
Now the subject really becomes profound because we defined that all minerals are actually "alive." Let me explain; if you look at other people and at animals, you can see they are "alive." If you then look at plants and trees, you can understand that they are "alive" too, but there is so little movement that it is simply more of an acknowledgement of life rather than a perception of it. Now when you look at a stone… you generally cannot perceive there being any "life" there at all and this is because they are so primeval and primitive in evolution. However, when someone with highly developed clairvoyance looks at a stone, there is instantly a different story to tell. All minerals are "alive" – but their form of life is very limited. They have what we call a Monad, or a 'tiny, spark of life which solely exists for one function; to react to different types of subtle environmental energies in a certain way. Every time the Monad reacts to these energies "outside itself" it grows very, very slightly. It does not think, does not feel, is not self aware or intelligent in any way – it simply exists and reacts to specific types of energies around it and that is all. It absorbs these energies in very small quantities and then emits them outside itself. Its structure is that of a sphere, like a ball of energetic life in the centre of every crystal and stone.
The elemental energies are passed from the Quad structure to the "Monadic Sphere." where they become in contact with these other surrounding subtle energies of that level. The Monad makes changes to these and then emits them as one form of a new energy. Nat called this mineral energy. This mineral energy is different with every different type of mineral. Therefore you get rose quartz energy," "Amethyst energy," "Calcite energy" and these are all different types of the same "mineral energy."
So, the reason the candle-holders would have a dramatic increase in their mineral energy field was because the Monad of the mineral had to maintain harmony and balance. Where suddenly there was an unequal proportion of "Fire energy" entering its system, it reacted the only way it could. It increased the quantity of the other three elemental energies to balance the situation. With this increase of the balanced elemental energies it also increased the absorption of the other surrounding subtle energies and the end result is more mineral energy produced. This is why these crystal or mineral candle-holders are very useful healing tools. We can even add several candles around them to increase the field of energy to a maximum saturation level.
By placing a crystal into earth, or into a glass of water, its mineral energy field is by result much larger due to the same reason. We are however, still left with the mystery of "Air" aren't we? Well the secret there is not air but wind… If you blow on a crystal, its energy grows; so the fact that it is always present in our environment in "still air" means it doesn't react, but put it into an area of moving air and its field will grow accordingly. Therefore it might be more accurate to call the elemental energy of air, "wind."
We can now return to the issue of why some crystals have less mineral energy when they are changed to a polished condition. All minerals have 'intake channels' for bringing the surrounding energies inside their structures and exit channels that allow them to give these out afterwards as mineral energy. Yet we found that some minerals such as agate and Aventurine, have either their intake or exit channels so damaged or destroyed from the accelerated attrition process that the Monad cannot deal with the quantity of energies inside its sphere. It either has too much or too little and as a result it suffers a chaotic condition and can no longer function correctly.
The therapeutic qualities of crystals and minerals are a very large subject. There are perhaps some 10,000 different identified minerals on and in our Earth, probably many more as yet undiscovered. Each and every one will have fixed certain qualities. However, where two or more mineral types are combined as one (such as Azurite and Malachite, commonly found together) then their qualities change to become yet different again. That is why it is perhaps an impossible task to list the qualities of all minerals because you could never cover every single different example. Nat took an easier number – she just chose fifty and studied these in depth. Only observing the energies of the natural stones, over five years, she has spent a long time with each of them, learning everything she can. She spent ages carefully drawing, then painting their energies to produce their images.
The original task that she set out to do was to define why they have healing qualities and how these actually affect the mind or body. This is a mammoth task, not because it is essentially complex, but because it needs so much groundwork covered before people can possibly grasp the concept of the answer. So let's start laying down a foundation…
If a crystal has an energetic quality that can help the health or well being of a person then it must have an explanation of the process. If there's no explanation – we have to consider the 'supposed quality' as suspect. So the answer must lie on the subtle reality of the human system. Generally speaking, most people reading this will already be familiar with the fact that illness and disease does not start with the physical body. The exception might be where we might have an accident, 'cut ourselves' and thus have a wound… However, even there; there is a reason for the event and there is a cause for why we happened to be in the right place at the right time for the event to take place. We might have all manner of emotions and thoughts as a result of the event… By illness and disease I am really referring to matters internal of the body; things like pain, organ dysfunction, blood pressure, arthritis, rheumatism, nausea, infertility, lack of vitality, lack of concentration etc. All of these matters begin on the subtle side of our being and manifest out into the physical body. When we have problems like these; it is like we are trying to tell ourselves 'something isn't right within' and the body acts like a big signpost for our consciousness to pay attention to it. Unfortunately, the greater majority of us can't read the signs and we just keep on driving. So more often than not, the signs get bigger until we do notice them. Well, that's all very well as a philosophy, but where is the explanation of the issue?
Imagine, you can look at the energetic system of a person. The first thing you might see is the major chakra system. These funnel-shaped, colourful energy vortices have energy channels that travel from them to all the organs and systems of the body. From the skeletal system to the blood circulation system to the lungs to the pancreas, the bladder, the muscles, the tendons of the limbs; everything is connected by these channels of energy. Now imagine you can look inside these channels and that you find they are actually composed of sub-channels and that these actually fine tune things as they deal with the various functions of the organs and other systems. So in the stomach for example, there are sub-channels that travel to organise things to do with the production of stomach acids and others that deal with the creation and maintenance of the stomach walls.
Inside these sub-channels are micro-channels, and further still, inside them there are energy threads and even deeper, there are micro-threads of single types of human subtle energies. The latter sustain and maintain the vitality of every single cell at any moment, in the body.
However, these particular single, human subtle energies also carry a program or command – to tell the cell what to do. When we are in good health, this program is correct and functions perfect normally . However, it can become distorted or misaligned and therefore it can begin to tell the cell different things to do instead of its normal instructions. When this happens, it is not long afterwards before "we" begin to feel the effects and illness soon can follow.
All crystals and minerals have their own unique variety of subtle mineral energy. Each type of mineral energy is distinct from another type because it has a different strength and frequency of vibration and it is this difference that separates them all. However they all have one thing in common; they all carry a special "coding" or agent that acts to constantly maintain harmony. It is called the Element of Harmony (all of our data that we had documented throughout the research was published in the thesis book 'The Element of Harmony'). Every single crystal or gemstone therefore has a unique type of mineral energy but they all contain this special harmonizing agent.
Where a crystal has a therapeutic quality for a part or system of the body; it is because its mineral energy has a very close relationship with one or other of the human subtle energies of that organ or system. This is because the two energies have very similar strengths of vibration in their design. When the two are brought into contact with each other, the Element of Harmony slowly begins to react to the miscoded human energy and begins to balance it again. That is the simple secret of why crystals have healing qualities."
