About Crystals
"Grounding and uplifting, crystals are gifts from Mother Earth and hold ancient wisdom and knowledge".
Crystals are tools that can be used for healing by giving and receiving energy.
The logical mind might ask: how can a rock give me energy?
There are few logical explanations for that.
Crystals come from the Earth and are part of nature. Crystals will have its own vibration and depending on where it comes from (and how was extracted from the Earth) it will have a different vibration.
Crystals will absorb and reflect the forces of nature (and its vibration) that were present in the Earth at the time as its creation and hence each crystal will be formed in different a shape.
A natural crystal is a storage library of the geological forces at the time as its growth and reflects the forces of nature.
Crystals are made of minerals. For example, the quartz crystal family (e.g. clear quartz, rose quartz, amethist, citrine) are composed of silicon dioxide, which is mineral compound widely found on the surface of the Earth.
Silicon dioxide is used by many industries these days specially the computer industry for the manufacturing of silicon chips as they have the ability of conducting energy.
Dietary supplement industry uses silicon dioxide as an active ingredient to support skin health.
Pharmaceutical industry uses silicon dioxides as as excipient on tablet manufacturing as it has the ability of absorbing moisture (due to its hygroscopic properties).
Some crystals (e.g. quartz, tourmaline) also have the capacity of creating piezoelectricity when mechanical forces are applied to it. Example: quartz crystal can generate electric charge when compressed.
Quartz crystals are also used on the manufacturing of lighters due to its piezoelectricity properties.
Different crystals will have different mineral composition, chemical structure and therefore different properties.
People have related having mystical experiences with crystals that the logical mind may not be able to to comprehend.
This experiences reflects all the forces of nature, ancient wisdom, consciousness and knowledge that crystals hold and can not be translated in words as the logical mind is not able to comprehend.
Therefore I like to invite people to experience crystal energy during meditative practices so they can experience its vibration, power and beauty for themselves.
Crystal energy can be felt stronger when used in meditative practices with intention.
Intention plays a major role when working with crystals. It is recommended that crystals are cleansed energetically before use as it can hold energy from previous people that may have used or held (including during mining process).
The shape of the crystal have direct effect on how energy is conducted.
Usually "where the crystal point goes, energy flows"
Raw crystals (unpolished) typically have stronger vibration as they have not been modified and are on its original form found in nature.
