When first obtaining a crystal, it should be CLEANSED....... The life field of a human is the strongest of all life fields; when another person touches your crystal, he leaves his own life field energy imprinted on the life field of the crystal (This includes hand-made or 2nd hand, used jewellery items). 

To avoid this, the crystal should be cleansed to remove the imprinted energy. This can be done by covering the crystal with sea salt for 2 – 7 days. If you prefer, you may wish to submerge your crystals in a solution of 100g sea salt to every litre of tepid water needed to cover, completely, the crystals in a non-metallic dish to speed up the cleansing add a tablespoon of malt vinegar to the mixture, 1 – 2 hours should be enough. 

Not only do crystals AMPLIFY body energy but thoughts as well. They create power and clarity in thinking. Therefore always use your crystal with the right intent: HELPING TO HEAL. 

The energy of crystals can TRANSFORM the molecular composition of water: fill 2 cups from the tap. Place one cup on a clear quartz crystal cluster – about 15cms in diameter. Place the other cup at least 3 metres away. Leave for 24 hours. Taste the difference. 

We can charge a crystal with energy and the crystal will STORE that energy for later use. Many people believe that information may be stored – yet to be proved. 

With our thoughts we can FOCUS energy where we desire. With the crystal we can use this ability for healing. 

Your personal crystal can be ACTIVATED in several ways. The simplest method is to hold it in your left hand. In a short time the crystal should begin to pulse or vibrate. As soon as you feel this sensation you can begin to use it. ALWAYS CLEANSE BEFORE ACTIVATING. If difficulty is experienced, keep it in your pocket and under your pillow at night for 2 days and 3 nights. Your vibrations will then attune with the crystal. There are some people who do not always receive physical confirmation.

 To purify and re-charge your healing crystals place them on an amethyst cluster overnight.

*Once activated, do not store your working crystals in your bedroom: you need to rest and sleep. Crystals do not, they are switched on 24/7 emanating energy. 

HEALING: There are stones which work well on each of the energy bodies or levels. Clear quartz is the overall physical body energiser. Smoky quartz is very good for grounding you into your body if you are having trouble paying attention the world. Pink Rose quartz and citrine work on the emotional body. 

Using the crystal of the HEALING is it’s most spectacular and controversial aspect. Much of this is because most people think of healing as MYSTERIOUS, MYSTICAL or MIRACULOUS. The ability to beneficially affect the health of people without the methods of modern medicine is seen as anything but normal. The miracle is the ability of the human body to repair itself anyway. 

Crystal Healing deals not with the physical body, but he energy systems which create and support the body. By logic alone we can see that the physical body is the end result of energy. We obtain energy in many ways: i.e. food, water, air and the earth. We can go without food for weeks. We can live without water for only a few days.  How long can you hold your breath? And do you realise that your body is made up to include all the minerals in the earth? 

The total human body is a series of energy systems interconnecting the mind, emotions and body. Crystals interact with these energy systems and in conjunction with the mind, create functional changes which will then manifest in the physical body. 

Crystals have piezoelectric properties. They can AMPLIFY, TRANSFORM, STORE and FOCUS energy. If you hold a crystal in your left hand, you will at least double the body energy field. 

You may be able to reduce pain in this simple way: Hold your crystal in your left hand. Place this on the pained area then grasp the left arm with the right hand. Hold position for 30 minutes (You can read or watch TV). Remember, if pain persists see your health practitioner. 

The crystal amplifies energy. Energy flows in the left hand and out the right hand. You are then helping the brain to put in place the automatic repair system which is built into every cell of our body. 

With the TECHNINQUE you just applied, we use the amplifying ability of the quartz to give us this extra energy to focus on the spot out of balance. 

The following describes some of the unique and fascinating ways in which you may find quartz crystals revealing their nature: Clusters or single six-sided points may be used in a healing clinic room to cleanse the atmosphere. If an argument has taken place in a certain room then situate one or two clusters. 

To gain greater harmony in meditation place one on a nearby table. A cluster next to a computer or television screen will help to de-ionise the magnetic force build-up. 

If nothing else clusters of clear, rose amethyst or citrine are beautiful for the eye to behold and calming for the soul in their serenity. 

AMETHYST coupled with ROSE QUARTZ makes an excellent energy centre to calm mental/emotional traumas, or for meditating in a group.

 There are many uses for crystals and agates and I’m sure you are aware of books to buy, or from your local library. If in doubt, then seek out a local healer who uses crystals in a confident manner. Most of all ENJOY wearing them, looking and holding them in a LOVING way.
