Crystals - the best Christmas present ever!
Crystals
Crystals are powerful healing tools; they can help with physical, emotional, spiritual and mental health; and they can help you and your family sleep better, amplify your healing power, and assist you in feeling calm, balanced and peaceful.
Crystals are a gift from Mother Earth to amplify the power of love and light and have been used for healing since before Egyptian times.
Although they may seem like inert objects crystals are very much alive, they are both filled with energy and are conduits of energy – that is one of the reasons crystals are used in watches, radios and modern medical devices.
We live in a world of constant vibration, intelligent vibration actually, because everything that exists is really energy information, or energy in-formation – vibration. These vibrations form matter, substance or intangible things.
The key frequency of vibration of an object, a person, a plant or an animal etc. is known as its resonant frequency. Like you and I, crystals also have their own resonant frequency. This is the reason that we are drawn to a particular crystal more than another – a bit like we are drawn to one person more than another!
Choosing crystals
I find that crystals tend to choose us as much as we choose them. They stand out to us when we see them, or we put our hand into a bowl of crystals and one feels good in our hand.
I believe that you intuitively know the crystal that is meant for you at any particular time. It comes into your life!
Sometimes crystals are with you for a whole lifetime. But other times you also get a sense when it’s time to let a crystal go and pass it on to someone else. Sometimes they just disappear out of your life. It’s a bit like that saying, “people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime”, it’s the same with crystals!
Choosing crystals for friends is fairly much the same – you just have a sense that your friend needs the one to which you are drawn when thinking about him/her. I like to buy my friends crystals and just go with what I’m drawn to, even if it’s not something I’d usually consciously choose for that person. It always has an appropriate meaning for that person.
Cleansing/energising crystals
Crystals often attract all kinds of energy vibrations both negative and positive. Remember that your crystal may have travelled many thousands of miles and been handled by many people before you received it. Therefore, your crystal may have acquired some negative energies and it is important to cleanse it before you use it.
There are serval ways you can cleanse crystals including the following:
Putting them in the garden under the light of the full moon (this is my favourite way);
Putting them in sea salt or a natural water source (sea, stream, river);
Burying them in the earth;
Placing them in sunlight;
Holding them in your hand and setting your intention that they be cleansed by Reiki.
