GROUNDING

The experience of being grounded is when we feel anchored solidly in the present with a sense of inner clam and clarity. Being ungrounded is a state of feeling confused and unfocused, fuzzy etc.
Holding  grounding stones (such as Hemetite) help us focus chaotic energy and restore us to every day awareness. A simple grounding exercise is to sit or stand with our feet firmly planted on the floor, then imagining roots growing from them into the earth. With each breath allow the roots to spread deeper and wider until you feel anchored and secure.

PROTECTIVE CRYSTALS -BLACK OBSIDIAN, TOURMALINE AND HEMATITIE

Black crystals protect us from negative energies. The three described below protect us in different ways. All three can be put together in a small cloth bag and worn on the left side of the body at the groin, or in the left trouser pocket where it can be touched as required.

BLACK OBSIDIAN

* absorbs NEGATIVE ENERGIES

Negative energies are usually strong, but have a low vibrational frequency it usually attached to our the feet and legs. Obsidian can be places on the floor behind the front door to the house, to absorb ant negative energies from people who visit your home. Black Obsidian repels negative energy and disperses unloving thoughts.
During therapy is to placed on the floor under the  therapy table, between the patient and therapist to pick up any negative energies released from the patient during therapy.

 BLACK TOURMALINE

* dispels NEGATIVE ENERGIES

Black tourmaline channels a high vibrational frequency energy through their parallel striations, almost like electricity, making it effective in disintegrating negative energies and dispersing environmental energies and psychic attacks. It can be placed on shelves or tables in an upright position.
It is advised to use several in therapy rooms.

HEMATITE

 * repels  NEGATIVE ENERGIES

Hematite has the quality to reflect negative energies like a mirror.
They can be carried  in trouser pockets to protect our abundance centers.  Wearing hematite bracelets on our left wrist prevent negative energies entering.  Pendants worn around the neck can also be beneficial.

VISUALIZATION EXERCISE

It is best to do this exercise with a crystal you already know and feel comfortable with.

1. Sit comfortably holding the crystal in both hands, relax and focus on it.

2. Slowly allow your awareness to float down into the crystal and come to rest there.

3. Think about how the crystal feels: cool and dry, warm and damp, rough or smooth? Take some time to explore its inner energies.

4. Relax once more and attune yourself to the crystals inner vibration or sound - is it a pulse, a tone or a tune, high or low, simple or complex? Listen for a few minutes, then relax again.

5. Take a few slow deep breaths and then imagine you are breathing in the energy of the crystal. Does it have a taste or smell?

6. Hold the crystal near your solar plexus and imagine your breath is entering your body through the crystal.

7. Relax again, and open your inner eyes to imagine the lattice structure of the crystal, its inner landscape and light. Don't try to analyse anything you see - just let it come and go.

8. Now start to become aware again of the crystals taste, smell, sounds and touch. Gradually bring your awareness out of the crystal and back into your own body. 
9. Grounding as necessary.
It is a good idea to make a few short notes so that you will be able to remember the experience again later.

CLEANING AND CARING FOR CRYSTALS AND STONES

Treat your quartz crystals with love and respect.
They love to be on display where they can reflect the light and radiate their beauty. They can be put on shelves, bedside tables, chimneys, plant pots, meditation alters – anywhere they can receive light and can fulfil their task.

When you buy a new crystal or are given it by someone, it needs to be cleansed to remove any previously stored vibrations. Cleaning also resets their vibration so that they are more receptive of their new home and owner.

When transporting crystals it is advisable to wrap them individually to prevent chips or scratches.

-WITH  SANDALWOOD INCENSE
-1/2 HOUR IN SUN LIGHT
-WITH HEALING ENERGIES
-1/2 HOUR ON A TRANSPARENT QUARTZ CLUSTER

- UNDER FLOWING WATER  ( ideally in a stream, the sea but if that is not possible then under the tap)

Moonlight is not recommended.
I personally do not like to use to use salt or salted water, as the salt is also a crystal and over time may scratch and dull the surface.
The best and most practical way is to place the crystal on a cluster for half an hour. Using a large quartz cluster allows you to cleanse several crystals simultaneously.

Using Sandalwood incense, cleanses low frequency energies, raising their vibration.

Channelling  healing energies and directing them into the crystal.
Putting the crystals in sunlight for 30 minutes.

Sometimes it may be necessary to cleanse exceptionally depleted or ill-used crystals in several different ways.

Clusters rarely need cleansing due to their multi-dimensional reflection - and are self cleansing. However, should you feel the need to clean a cluster,  using water - then sunlight is the best method.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CRYSTALS

When you get a new crystal it is a good idea to spend some time to get familiar with it and developing a sensitivity to its subtle energy field. Here are some simple techniques. Be aware of how you feel during each step.

DEVELOPING A SENSITIVITY TO YOUR CRYSTAL

Take a really good look at your crystal from all angles, then close your eyes and feel it in your hands for a minute or two.
Open your eyes and gaze at it. Then close your eyes again. Does the crystal feel the same to you as it did before?
Hold the crystal in one hand and then in the other - then hold it in both hands.
Lie back and place the crystal on the appropriate Chakra centre. Solar Plexus, Heart and Third Eye are often good places to start.
Whilst still lying down place the crystal close to your body. Take note of how it feels on your right side and then on your left. How does it feel near your head and feet?

CRYSTAL CLUSTERS

Clusters Are crystals which share a common base, but each one is different. Growing beside their companions, united by the same root, which in reality is how we all live.  These crystals strengthen one another, producing a healthy clean energy which gives vitality. They are a collection of individual crystals coexisting in peace and harmony:  representing an advanced community with unique and perfect members sharing the same soil and the same truth.

Just as a single crystal (generator) represents an individual, they represent a family, a group, a society.  In crystal therapy we use them for cleansing.  They do not need cleaning or recharging as they do it for themselves, due to their collective potential energy. They have a bright and powerful auric light.  They can be placed in areas in need of atmospheric cleansing or to generate a strong positive vibration. For example, when there has been an argument in a room, it is a good idea to place quartz crystals in the room to purify it and eliminate negative feelings and energies.

Clusters make wonderful gifts for homes where there is a lack of generosity and harmony.

All crystal clusters are authentic natural works of art, pleasant and delightful for the senses and the soul.

ROCK CRYSTAL CLUSTER 

Rock Quartz clusters are the most appreciated and accessible.

Quartz clusters are a very special mineral and their energies are used in a multitude or ways and are used in beneficial therapies. They are suitable for purification and harmonizing environments, also effective for neutralizing harmful waves created by electrical equipment, TV, PC, musical equipment etc.

They can also be used to clean and recharge other crystals. In therapies they are used to cleanse Chakras, Organs, specific parts of the body, as well as cleansing the Aura of negative energies.

The quartz clusters are also used in exorcisms and to clean places of negative energy, as this crystal represents illuminating light.
They can provide energetic support from a distance, healing and protecting people in need, by putting their photo on the cluster.

Luxuriate in brightly lit places.

They can be placed on shelves for cleaning and harmonising the environment, in our homes, businesses, offices etc.

CITRINE CLUSTER  

Citrine is one of the crystals associated with the solar plexus chakra and this chakra send energy to the stomach, so this cluster is used to clean the digestive organs and everything which relates to disorders of the stomach: whether ulcers, inflammation or pain. 

Regenerates tissues, detoxifying the physical, mental and emotional health, increasing the body’s healing energy and brings joy to the solar plexus.     

AMETHYST CLUSTER

The main function of this cluster is to transmute our negative thoughts into positive thoughts and help promote objective thoughts to end the conflict or mental congestion which is affecting usReleasing these mental blocks opens our minds to new ideas and perspectives.

It helps to calms our minds.

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)
Please note: Crystals can be powerful allies but should be used with care and under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.
