Our
home is our natural connection to the Earth, However our modern lifestyle often
disconnects us from Earth's natural elements. Many of us live in a world made
of concrete-buildings, paved roads, parking lots and sidewalks - with minimal
exposure to simple plants, flowers and trees. We rarely get to experience nature
on a large scale. Earth's beautiful, cascading mountains, vast forests or powerful
waterways. Adding to our dilemma is the high level of pollution and chemicals
we are exposed to on a daily basis. We cannot escape the magnetic pull that the
Earth's energy has on us-but we are living in a world that is sadly out of balance
with nature! And these imbalances can contribute to both physical and emotional
illness. Fortunately, it is possible to reestablish our connection with Earth
by creating an environment that brings in all the elements of nature-plants, natural
fivers, materials and lighting - as well as crystals and gemstones. Combined with
feng shui design, blessings, space clearings and other modalities, we can recreate
that harmonious balance in our work and living spaces. One
of the Earth's gifts to us is crystals and gemstones. The rising consciousness
of the planet is finally leading us to rediscover the ancient and forgotten healing
art of crystals. Each natural crystalline structure has its own individual energy
as well as its own personality - and it is here to help us tap into our own multifaceted
nature and personal power. Created by energetic forces deep within the planet,
these "blossoms" of the Earth's mineral realm carry a variety of natural
energy and vibration that can facilitate personal development, balance and healing. For
thousands of yeas, Mother Earth has been providing for us with the natural beauty
and profound healing properties of her gifts. And the time has come for us to
implement these powerful energies into our
Environments, allowing them to assist
us in creating healthy, harmonious and wonderfully balanced live. The
Use of Crystals and Gemstones in the Home and Workplace: Select
stones that you are drawn to and place them around your home and work place. Any
number of stones can be used to enhance the environmental energy, depending upon
one's needs. Crystals can be used by their color or their elemental energy in
conjunction with feng shui design. For example, many people are drawn to the violet
energy of Amethyst, which is used to purify the energies of one's environment
by creating a positive healing vibration. They can also be used to implements
and support one's health (green or blue stones, relationship (pink) overall well-being
and healing (clear quartz, prosperity and wealth (fire crystals) and balance.
Crystals can be used as protection stones at the entrance of our homes as well
as in mediation rooms and on personal altars. When building a residential or commercial
property, they can be planted and programmed into the foundation for balance and
can also be placed at property boundaries, or in a grid Patten around a house
or garden. These specific crystals arrangements can provide constant benefits
for all who live and enter the environment. Mediation
with Crystals: One
of the best ways to learn to "feel" crystal energies is to hold one
during mediation. In mediation, we can gently clear the mind of thought and enter
a stare of positive openness. They are serenity - inducing crystals such as Celestite
that can assist one in achieving a state of peacefulness. One can choose to meditate
with a crystal that can activate and heal specific energy centers within the body.
This is due to meditation's ability to quiet the mind, allowing new influences
to raise ones consciousness. During mediation, a crystal may feel stronger and
one will be able to notice these subtle changes. The state of openness during
mediation eventually allows for even more noticeable positive effects.
