SHAPED and CARVED CRYSTALS and Stones

[Guest guest]

*SHAPED and CARVED CRYSTALS and Stones*

 

*From ancient times crystal has been carved and shaped into objects of

beauty , practical* *implements and tools of mystical power. Today

crystal is still worked and polished into* *many different forms many

are mostly decorative but others can be used in crystal healing.*

*We look here at some of the more commonly carved forms. There also are

or will be separate articles on wands* *and other crystal healing tools.

These shapes also may occur naturally in stones and the meanings and

practical applications for these shapes are basicly the same for both

carved and natural stones. Many people feel that naturally shaped stones

have more " medicine " than carved shaped stones.

*

 

*Spheres*

*Crystal spheres /balls are often used in scrying, They are used in

healing and in room and* *area clearing and protection and for virtually

any purpose. **They radiate the properties of the material from which

they are made or the programs they* *are given evenly in all

directions.* *A sphere represents completion, and the realization of all

possible things . It has no*

*beginning or end. Spheres represent the achievement of wholeness and

revealing of the inner* *beauty and perfection of our spirit. Spheres

help us stay centered in the present.* *They make excellent altar pieces

and can be the focus of many meditations.*

 

*Eggs*

*Egg shaped stones are easy to hold and can be used in massage they are

said to assist with stress reduction*

*I am leaving some of the more unusual uses for eggs to the adult

imagination but the egg* *symbolizes fertility, a fertilized egg

eventually becomes a living being. The egg shape* *symbolizes the

potential and developmental stage of our goals and dreams.*

*The egg also symbolizes the void, the unknown and unformed from which

form and realization are* *born.

Meditate, holding an egg shaped stone of an appropriate material in your

hand (or have it set*

*before you at eye level ) on any condition or situation which you would

like to transform or* *bring into reality.*

*You can meditate on an egg to help you develop clarity about what you

wish to manifest in* *your life particularly in spiritual evolution.You

can also ask/program your egg to assist in manifesting the results you

have visualized.*

 

*Some people meditate while they sit on an egg shaped stone or crystal

so that it puts pressure* *between the genitals and excretory organ this

is said to connect the upward and* *downward flow of your natural chi

and assist in spiritualizing your being.

Eggs can also be used in grids or for programs to support fertility

childbearing and* *nurturing of all kinds.*

 

*Another meditation visualization involving eggs is to imagine yourself

inside an egg of light.* *This is a powerful protective visualization.*

*You can imagine yourself inside an egg and to imagine yourself

hatching*. *This can help you in identifying both areas where you are

blocking your self and help you* *release those blockages and restraints

and reach more personal/ spiritual freedom.* *Egg shaped stones are

often used in massage and energy healing work because of the soft

dispersion of energies. *

 

*Pyramids*

 

*One of the functions of a pyramid is to draw spiritual energy through

the point and to ground* *it at the base. It helps to blend spiritual

and physical energies. Thus, it can be very effective* *in dissolving

mental and emotional blockages. It can help with grounding* *and can

help reveal personal subconscious mysteries to the conscious self*.

*It can be used for integrating and harmonizing aspects of your

personality subconscious and* *spirit. they create large energy fields

around themselves and are therefore useful for* *energizing large rooms

and spaces.*

 

*Obelisks*

*Are said to generate an energy field similar to the human aura They can

create a powerful*

*focus and have a balancing effect on the chakras and subtle bodies .*

 

*Skulls*

*Crystal skulls are record keepers. They amplify energy. They develop*

*holograms in them from their experiences. There are old crystal skulls

that exist in the* *physical. Many skulls are made from very old crystal

possibly 10,000 years old, and are*

*very powerful. Some seem to be encoded with messages. They have picked*

*up many frequencies through their time here. Some ancient skulls are

well known for* *energizing people and allowing them to access visions

and information* .

*Contemporary crystal skulls are sometimes used for scrying and meditation.

*

 

*Hearts

One of the most common carved forms for rocks and gemstones is the heart

shape. This shape is a symbol of love and is often exchanged as a gift

of love and affection. The stone hearts are available in many stones and

can be used for many kinds of crystal healing. They are often part of

love, romance and healing grids . Hearts are widely available and can be

used in general healing layouts and for chakra work too.

*

 

*Donuts Also very common carved shape. **In metaphysics, it's a

halo—sign of divine dimension and intention.

I have begun an attempt to understand the metaphysics of this form but

so far it is very complicated about inverse tetrhedrons and the shape of

the universe and manifesting the divine from the void . I'll need to

study more.

*

 

*Carved images*

 

*Many crystals and stones are carved into animal and images such as

angels and Gods/esses* *which can be used for meditation and to help you

connect with a totem or power animal* .

 

there are also traditional associations for many naturally shaped stone

forms.
