Crystals
Your Best Buddies
Crystals [Semi – Precious Stones] or Gem Stones, both come from same source – Mineral Kingdom.
Everything is a form of energy, and so are the crystals.
For thousands of years, ancient civilizations have utilized the power of crystals to release mental, physical, financial, relationship, personality issues, and spiritual blockages, thus facilitating the free flow throughout our existence.
Crystals are alive. They hear us, guide us, facilitate us, and responds to us in a great way.
They are the first life after the planets are formed, so you can imagine how many millions of years knowledge they must be having. It’s impossible for human understanding to know it all in one lifetime.
Forms
These are natural solidified minerals [Rocks] that are available in nature.
They Can be Found in Mountains, in Caves, in Mines, near Water bodies.
But with modern techniques, we turned them into many other forms.
Examples: – Each will be shown in the images
- Polished Crystal Rocks – Known as Tumbles.
- Various sized Beads – Used for Malas and Bracelets.
- Small/Big chips – These are usually pieces chipped of from the rock, either naturally or while processing it into other forms. Can be used in Pendants/ Talisman/ Bottled Charms.
- Trees – They are made from the chips.
- Pencils – Used for Pendants and Crystal Grids.
- Flat Stones – Used for Pendants/ Keeping on The Body/ in the Pocket/ in Altar/ For Crystal Grids.
- Carved [Like Gem Stones] – For Pendants, Bracelets, and Finger Rings.
- Pyramids – Simple and Orgonite – Single/ Multi-Crystals.
- Hangings – Can be used as Single/ Multi-Crystal Hangings, in Dream Catchers.
- Animal Figurines – As every Animal Energy also has Symbolic Value, Crystals are carved in Animal Figurines.
- Hearts – Heart shaped crystals – Small ones are used for Pendants/ Rings etc. But big ones can be used as Polished stones.
- Raw Natural Pieces – Rough Rocks directly from Mountains/ Mines. Unpolished.
Uses:
When crystals are placed directly on your body [ Which is the most recommended way to use it], they have a powerful vibratory effect that surges from the crystal to you.
According to the law of physics, thoughts direct energy and energy follows thought. Each of our crystal energy pieces serves as a tool to help the thoughts of our consciousness connect with our body.
We can use crystals separately, or in combination based on our purpose.
Crystals Vs Gem Stones:
Though there are thousands of minerals available in nature, limited stock is recognized as Gem Stones.
As most of us know, these are the crystals usually suggested by Astrologers and Numerologists.
They are usually decided based on the blockages your Birth Chart/ Kundali shows.
There are few norms that we need to follow as per the guidance to wear them, like besides which gem to be used, weight of the person wearing them decides the weight/carat of gem stones. There are certain rituals needed for each gem before you wear them. Specific days are suggested to wear specific crystals. Specific fingers are suggested to wear specific crystals.
Unlike these Gem stones, I love Semi-Precious Stones/Crystals.
These are free flow energies with no boundaries.
No rituals/fingers/ weight accuracy/direction needed, and they still work at their best.
I believe something which comes from the nature, cannot be put in boundaries of human understanding [Strictly my opinion. Anyone is free to differ].
Cleansing:
What most experts miss is this part.
When people wear Crystals, they soak their blockages. So they definitely need cleansing. But I have seen very few astrologers telling the clients about it.
Some crystals are self-cleansers and in fact they clean other crystals in their vicinity.
For Example – Clear Quartz [Sphatik], Selenite, Rose Quarts etc.
Methods:
- Cleaning with plain water.
- Cleaning with sea salt water.
- Cleaning with Sun/Moon Light.
- Cleaning with Other Crystals.
- Cleaning with Sage/ Dhoop/ Incense Sticks Smoke.
Precaution:
Not all crystals can be put in water/ sea salt/ sunlight. Ask the person from whom you buy it.
Should We Use Them All Our Life?
Of Course Not.
Again, I have seen people wearing gem stones all their lives, without cleaning it. What happens is, initially crystal works and after some days/ months it stops working as blockages soaked are not cleaned.
Second thing is when purpose is solved, stop using it. Very simple.
Beware:
I do not recommend buying crystals blindly online, as many times those are coloured glass [Personal experience in earlier days].
Choose Wisely
Treat Them Nicely
Love Them Unconditionally
Always Show Gratitude
P.S: – They are one of the amazing healing tools, but one needs to understand they are not the replacement of any medical or surgical intervention.
