What are Crystals

Crystals are living energy, in a way they are the tuning fork of the Universe. Each particular type of crystal or mineral can be seen as a particular focus of energy to tune specific vibrations within the mind, body or spirit; whether it be well-being, meditation, protection, or understanding, as well as a thousand other uses. Crystals have been mined and used for thousand of years, and can be seen in ancient crowns, regalia and jewellery.

 How Do Crystals Affect Us

We all have our own life/energy force, and we have energy points called chakras. We have seven major chakras, each has a specific function, when we're tired, stressed, unwell or depressed our chakras can slow down or even stop Crystals are used by healers to help realign chakras, they can assist the healing process, and can be programmed for particular jobs. Crystals have their own frequency/energy which is why they can be used in various ways, including powering technological marvels such as computers, watches etc..

Crystals absorb, focus, direct and diffuse our energy fields to enable a diseased or out of balance body to find it's natural energetic rhythm once again. The appropriate crystals can be placed on the seven main chakras, which look like different coloured spinning wheels of subtle energy, running up the centre of the torso. These link the subtle energy fields of our aura with our emotions, glands, organs, physical body parts and subtle and physical circulatory flows. This is why wearing certain crystals such as yellow citrine may uplift you, rose quartz may help to ease heartache, and amethyst may calm a busy mind and help you to sleep.

If you know what effect each type of crystal has according to its colour, shape and mineral content, then you can make use of them to initiate a specific effect on the energy balance of chakras, meridians, energy, organs and emotions. Usually crystals with the points facing away from the problem area move the energy away from that area, and crystals placed with the points facing inwards recharge the body with subtle energies.

Meditation has the power of making us drift into a more realistic world. When you’re at peace and feeling at One with the Creation it is easier to understand who you are and the world around you. You then realise that illusions is what the physical world is made of.

Nevertheless, dreaming and wishing is important. There is nothing wrong with dreaming of having a successful career, an expensive car or travelling around the world. As long as chasing these things do not cause unbalance in other areas of your life or lead you to believe that you will be complete once you reach your goal, then the pursuit can only be worth it!
