CRYSTAL SHAPES AND FORM

Crystals come in many shapes and sizes. Some have natural points and facets, whilst others are smooth and rounded. Some form in clusters, others stand alone. Some are formed in bubbles whilst others form in layers. Most occur naturally but some are cut to a precise shape.
Each Crystal has it's own attributes and can be used in specific ways. For example there are crystals which give access to another world - past, present or future - either earthly or extraterrestrial.

Others may attract abundance into our lives.
A geode gathers and holds energy (releasing it slowly) but a cluster rapidly radiates energy in all directions. These shape specific properties influence our choice of use and can make the difference between a crystal doing a wonderful job or not working at all:
Citrine clusters> attract abundance but allow it to flow away again.
Citrine Geode> Allows us to keep our money. (and a single point can direct it to a specific place)

MALACHITE

COLOUR: GREEN
APPEARANCE:CONCENTRIC LIGHT AND DARK BANDS AND ROSETTES. ALL SIZES, OFTEN TUMBLED AND POLISHED.
ATTRIBUTES:This is a powerful stone but one which needs to be handled with some caution and is best used under supervision of a qualified crystal therapist. It is toxic and therefore should only be used in its polished form.  Malachite amplifies both positive and negative energies. It grounds spiritual energies on to the planet. Some believe it is still evolving and will become one of the most important stones of the new millennium.  
Malachite is an important protection stone absorbing negative energies and pollutants easily. It will soak up plutonium pollution and guards against radiation of all kinds. 
Healing:This stone clears and activates the Chakras and attunes to spiritual guidance. Placed on the Third Eye  it activates visualization and psychic vision.

When placed over the Solar Plexus it will clear static or repressed emotions, tension is released from the diaphragm and deep and complete breathing is restored. When the Solar Plexus is cleared and open, energy can move freely between the upper and lower Chakras. This balances the energy between the heart centre and the navel chakra, creating a physical and emotional state of well being.
Psychologically Malachite is a stone of transformation. Life is lived more intensely under its influence, which encourages risk taking and change. It mercilessly shows what is blocking spiritual growth. Malachite draws out deep feelings and psychosomatic causes, breaks unwanted ties and worn out patterns, and helps us take responsibility for our actions, thoughts and feelings. It releases inhibitions and encourages expression of feelings. 
Mentally, Malachite goes to the core of a problem, enhancing intuition and insight. It helps to alleviate mental disturbances including psychiatric illness and combats dyslexia, strengthening the ability to absorb and process information. 
It stimulates dreams and brings memories vividly to life.

This stone lowers blood pressure, treats Asthma, Arthritis, Epilepsy, Fractures, Swollen joints, Growths, Travel sickness, Vertigo, Tumors, the Optic nerve, Pancreas, Spleen and the Parathyroid. It aligns DNA and Cellular structure, and enhances the Immune System. Malachite encourages the Liver to release toxins, reducing acidification of tissues. It treats Diabetes when worn around the waist.
However, Malachite may need to be supported in the healing and transformation process by other stones.
Please note: Crystals can be powerful allies but should be used with care and under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.





PLATO, Greek Philosopher, 427-347 BC



"The cure of the part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole. No attempt should be made to cure the body without the soul... this is the error of our day, that physicians first separate the soul from the body".

Plato believed that complete healing must have a "soul" dimension and that the body, mind and spirit all needed treatment holistically.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ..YOU CAN

IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN DO IT.
Walt Disney

WHEN DOCTORS GO ON STRIKE LESS PEOPLE DIE...


 INTERESTING READING...DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS

"Doctors in the UK are going on strike this week for the first time in 40 years.
Apparently, it's just too hard for poor doctors to get by on a salary of £110,000 and they're miffed that they'll have to work longer before they can draw their gold-plated pensions.
It's estimated that up to 1.25 million prescriptions, tests and operations won't get actioned.
But, every cloud has a silver lining... 

Wh
en doctors in Israel took industrial action and went on strike back in 2000, it highlighted a strange phenomenon...
The death rate amongst the local population FELL by nearly 40% over the strike period.
And this is by no means an isolated example...

The same happened in Los Angeles in 1976, which saw an 18% decline in deaths during industrial action by doctors. When the strike ended and the medical machine started to grind back into action, the death rate returned to usual levels.

The same thing in Bogota in 1972. Doctors withdrew all treatments apart from emergency care. And guess what? The mortality rate went down by 35%.
Likewise, back in 1973, Israeli doctors went on strike for 4 weeks and deaths fell by 50% in that month.
It seems history is littered with similar examples, which tell us that the more we can avoid medical intervention in our lives, the more chance we have of living longer and healthier. 

As Dr Robert Mendelsohn, the renowned Chicago MD noted as far back as 1979: "If doctors reduced their involvement with people and only attended emergencies, there's no doubt in my mind that we'd be better off." 
For example, medical errors account for an estimated 40,000 deaths each year in the UK, and have officially become Britain's third biggest killer behind cancer and heart disease.
That's the equivalent to a jumbo jet-full of passengers perishing every week of the year. And yet, because it happens within our healthcare system, we accept it.
In the United States – where 40,000 people are shot to death each year – the chance of getting "killed" by a doctor is three times greater than being killed by a gun. 


In addition, serious reactions to prescription drugs are also believed to be responsible for a further 250,000 Britons being hospitalised each year – with aspirin, diuretics, warfarin and NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), commonly used for treating such things as arthritis, the main offenders".

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY..walk tall


NO-ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL INFERIOR WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT
Eleanor Roosevelt

REIKI AND MIKAO USUI



REIKI HEALING SYSTEM


Note that a legend has a lot of Story and little Reality. The story is that one day Mr. Mikao Usui while teaching religion in a Christian college in Japan, was talking about Jesus Christ. His students: if it's true that Jesus could heal where are the teachings now? Not having answers for his students Usui travelled the world looking for a system of healing that worked and did not find it. He returned to Japan and began to meditate and fasting for twenty-one days on a Sacred mountain. After twenty-one days a sphere of light hit him in the third eye (brow) and he understood all the Reiki healing systems. Going down the mountain trips and hurts his foot and it healed. Further down the mountain   he heals a toothache  for the innkeeper's daughter.
Dr Usui  did not return to the school but decided to dedicate his time to applying the healing system to the poor and beggars on the streets of Japan. Some time later he realised that the people he had previously healed were returning. It was then that he realised that because his healing had been given freely they held no value to the people and they had again become ill.
He then decided to open a Reiki clinic and several people studied under him to learn the mastery of the system of healing, including his good friend and soldier named Hayashi to whom he entrusted the direction of the clinic.
While on vacation in Japan a Hawaiian lady called Takaya gave him a call with  Appendicitis, she refused surgery but decided  to go to Usui's clinic. Hayashi healed Takata  and was so his interested she studied the first level of the system. Takata returned to Hawaii and practiced Reiki Healing System for some time until until one day  Hayashi  visited Hawaii and taught Takata the second level and Master System.
Takata in later life taught his granddaughter Furomoto and her husband. It was Furomoto and her husband who created "Reiki International Alliance" and introduced the  Reiki Healing System in America and Europe. After a while some Reiki Masters did not agree with the soaring popularity of Reiki Alliance and become independent Masters.

WHAT IS THE AURA


 The word aura means atmosphere of multi-coloured light called "aureola". The human aura is a multi-layered energy field that is primarily generated by the spiritual chakra energy centres. What has been the perceived halo effect around the head is called the "numbus", also a small part of the aura is made up by electromagnetic energies that are generated by atoms within matter, that give off a small energy field. The aura reflects moods, personality and traits, emotions, general well-being, spiritual abilities and evolution and is made up of several layers or bodies reflecting and relating to different chakra and aspects of our Spiritual and Template Aura.


The colours described below do not always match that of the associated chakra, this is due to a blending that takes place of one or more of the main seven chakra along with a multitude of secondary and subsidiary chakra's may be involved in the makeup of each of the main seven bodies of the aura and although the aura is thought to possibly extend up to 40 inches off the body in places it is very unlikely that many psychics would be able to see it. That is not to say at times it cannot be seen or sensed by other  means, just that in most cases the aura is only normally seen 2 to 4 inches off the top of the head, where it usually most prominently is seen or  perceived. For those who can psychically view the aura, it can be seen to visibly brighten and change when for instance if we are addressing others, or in some way pulling on the resources of our spirit such as in spiritual healing or meditation or in other activities, as well as in normal daily events of our life, so for instance if you kiss someone your aura might go  from the normal colour into bright red.

 



Introduction to Auras and Energy Fields


The aura and colours of the aura can vary from one person to the next and different colours in the aura can represent a persons attributes depending on moods, emotions, physical and mental states of well-being or any disharmonies or illnesses that may be present, as well as the individuals level of spirituality and progression, together with general spiritual abilities and their general nature and personality are all reflected and can be seen and picked up through the aura. The aura can expand if spiritual attributes are being used such as clairvoyance, psychic healing and other spiritual work and activities, including astral projection or out of body experiences.


As mentioned spiritual colours can vary greatly and the chakra energy centres can resonate both the primary and secondary colours allowing a very broad spectrum of colours to be seen within the aura. In effect the chakra are a little likened to an artist's mixing pallet, as one chakra opens and becomes more active a new blending of colours can take place within the aura. One or several coloured layers or energy fields can exist and be generated and viewed psychically surrounding a person including, animals or any other life and as mention as well as material matter itself also has a energy field that can be viewed with psychics perceptions. Many have questioned and said, "Is it only the atomic energies that can be seen around all life". 
This theory has been put to the test by those who can see aura and the aura of life close to mortal demise has been viewed just prior to demise and within seconds of demise there is a dramatic reduction in the aura, which if the aura was only generated by the atoms within matter, then there should not be any reduction at demise and this reduction happens as the spirit is thought to depart from the physical host body, only leaving the amount of atomic energies surrounding the remains.
If someone is in need of healing, the aura can visibly be seen to be reduced which is an indication that there is normally some form of depletion within the spirit due to an illness or disharmony of some kind, this can be caused by the minds emotions and state or the physical body or on occasion spiritual depletions cause through spiritual work. In this example hot spots can also be seen where there are depletions or needs of healing. For those who can see or gain a sense of the aura it is sometimes possible for them to pick up on these hot spots by psychically attuning into a persons aura and seeing or sensing these disharmonies and they often show up as muddy colours, grey’s and sometimes red which can indicate anxieties when seen in the aura. Sometimes if such low spiritual energy it is being suppressed more than caused by a physical illness and the spirit is depleted of natural energies due to the spirits nature being suppressed by the individuals actions. As explained the more in harmony with the true nature of spirit we become the more the energies develop and grow outwardly through the aura. The opposite effect is that negative actions produce not only often a reduction in the aura but also darker and more ominous colours in the aura such as black which is not often present in aura other than as a depletion in character, also red among the black can be ominous.




The Seven Aura Bodies Produced by the Chakra





It is believed that there are seven main bodies that are reflected in layers through the aura although this does vary a little depending on the belief systems one follows. Each of these bodies is thought to be connected and correspond to one of the spirits seven main chakra energy centres, which produce the auric layers.
These seven main aura bodies are known as the, Etheric Aura; Emotional Aura; Mental Aura; Astral Aura; Etheric Template Aura; Celestial Aura; Causal (Ketheric) Aura. 
Base Chakra: Red; Etheric layer of the Aura, 
Sacral Chakra: Orange; Emotional layer of the Aura,
Solar Plexus Chakra: Yellow; Mental or Intellectual layer of the Aura,
Heart Chakra: Green; Astral layer of the Aura, 
Throat Chakra: Light Blue; Etheric Template layer of the Aura,
Brow Chakra: Indigo; "Third Eye" Celestial layer of the Aura, 
Crown Chakra: Violet; Causal (Ketheric) layer of the Aura.

KIRLIAN PHOTOGRAPHY

Kirlian photography was discovered by Semyon and Valentina Kirlian in Russia. This photography was not developed for taking pictures of the aura in mind but was developed to take pictures of the electrical activity or corona produced around the 200KHZ frequency. More recent research is concentrated on a different audio frequency ranging under 10KHZ. Of course in some regards the aura is not so unlike corona, both are energy fields that are generated and resonate around a number of energy sources, as we know the sun has a powerful corona and to a much lesser degree so does the earth and all matter gives off atomic energies.
However it is believed that there are energies that underly those of the material atomic nature, these energies are what mediums call the etheric counterpart or are believe to be what the Chinese call the chi or the Japanese call the ki energy which is of a more of an etheric and spiritual nature and used in acupuncture allowing these energies to be released and flow more freely to help restore good health. Although of all Kirlian photography has come close and is able to pick up on some energy that we resonate. The question that is raised is what percentage of these energies that are seen are actually being generated by the spirit rather than the material atomic nature.



Kirlian photos can be quite different from the normally observed aura using the psychic abilities. The energy fields seen in Kirlian photography are often bigger in proportion and the colours can vary compared to what is seen psychically. In Kirlian photos the energy field can extend over a foot from the top of the head.
Admittedly the camera lens does not lie, it takes a picture of what it is sensitive too and in this case  the camera lens is sensitive to an energy field that resonates on maybe a different frequency of vibration to that of the normally observed aura that many psychics see about two to six inches off the top of the head, that is not to say other energies do not resonate further out, only that mostly we are not spiritually aware of them. There is value in these pictures and keeping an open mind to this photography as possibly being a valued tool to discover more about the human aura and energy fields is a good idea.
