*Crystal Healing Theories and speculations*

* There are many different systems and theories for working with

crystals and crystal energy. Sometimes elements of one system will

contradict another . One system will tell you to use and wear Obsidian

constantly for grounding ,another will tell you never to wear it at all

and to keep Obsidian covered when not it use .*

* One system will tell you to only use perfect clear natural crystals

and other will tell you that chips and clouds and flaws are

enhancements. Yet another will say that only carved spheres and wands

should be used .*

* In some systems you must have a specific shape of crystal for each

use and for other systems one crystal can be used for any purpose at

all. Some will use only clear quartz and many systems use a Rainbow of

crystals and others will only use one or two or three colors at once.*

*Some systems are full of warnings and precautions, others are anything

goes.*

*Some are very precise and formal and use methods based on years of

recorded research Others rely primarily on the intuition of the

practitioner and /or the recipient of the crystal work.*

*These differences may seem very confusing. Remember that each person

is drawing on Their own experience and knowing. We will each find or

receive ways of working with* *spirit and with crystals that are in

harmony with our own vision and mission .* *You may find that most of

the systems work for you at least to a degree.*

*There are a lot of very clear and not so clear explanations for how

crystal healing works and where it comes from.*

*When we ask various authorities we may hear that Crystal healing works

because :*

*The sacred geometry of the crystalline structure causes healing by

resonance vibrating your energies into sub molecular coherence .*

*The shape and numerological significance of the underlying crystalline

lattice is the most important factor.*

*Crystal healing is a Gift from ( Spiritual Indicator Here).*

*Crystals are the echoes of the cosmic cycles. astrology is the key.*

*The color and appearance of the crystals operate on the doctrine of

signatures.*

*The Pleadians planted the crystals as healing devices.*

*Crystals are a remnant of Atlantean Technology.*

*The innate Spiritual energy awareness of the crystals themselves

creates healing.*

*The chemical composition of the crystals facilitates healing.*

*Its magic !*

*Crystals act as transmitters and transformers for universal life force

energy.*

*The Ascended Masters communicate and heal using crystals as a tool.*

*We Are crystals, The Earth Is a Crystal ,Crystals are all there is .*

*The Spirits of the crystals and of other elements is the force of

healing and wisdom.*

*Crystals are carriers of the Sacred rays of creation.*

*The names of the crystals carry the purpose -Moldavite is for mold,

Apatite is for eating disorders etc.*

*This is the gift of the Earth Mother and Sky Father.*

*Crystals don't do anything but give the mind an anchor, any other tool

will do too.*

*You get the idea. I'm sure I've missed quite a few and in case you

wonder I did not make any of these up. The question is Does it work?

What system works? and the answers are Yes it does and they all do. Some

ideas and ways of working with crystals work better for me than others

do. I do not personally find as much use for the sometimes elaborate

crystal devices and fancy layouts of some of the Atlantean Temple

Schools even though I've had an occasional view of such a possible past

dimension. I am committed to life on Earth and doing what I can here and

now so do not focus much on methods of ascension . I am not waiting for

the spaceships .

*

*Whatever the underlying theories behind each of the many systems of

crystal work It may be possible to separate the basic systems into broad

categories although such categories would overlap considerably .*

*The technical or technology systems: are those that address the

crystals as objects as tools or machines Either from ancient

civilizations, off world colonization, or modern Science.*

*Structural systems: which deal with the physical properties , the

chemical and structural makeup of crystals or even with numerological

correspondences and alchemy.*

*Mystical systems: which by various means seek harmony with the

Spiritual Core* *both personal and Universal. The range of these is

extremely broad and encompass shamanic and religious and visionary

practices related to crystals.*

*These are just offered as launching points for your thoughts and

intuition.*

*There are some very interesting theories and methods of working with

crystals in some of these schools . We will look into them a bit and if

they sing to your heart then follow that path .

I have had Rock Deva talk to me and rock energies run pulsing through

me So that has more influence on me than some of the more purely

mechanical approaches. I like to acknowledge the life of the stones .

Many of the older ways of working with crystals are largely obsolete as

many more people are becoming aware of the living spirit and

consciousness that permeates everything. We are committed to

recognizing and communing with the living spirits of the crystals and

crystal Deva This means that we will have to reexamine many of the

conventional practices and presumptions of crystal healing. When I

first began writing about crystal healing I received reassurance that

at that time writing of and from the traditional object centered

concept of crystals as tools was acceptable as it was then the only way

to get some of the crystals messages through to those who would

immediately reject any spirit centered approach..

Several years have passed now and we are finding that many more people

are comfortable with working with the crystals as companion beings . We

hope to gradually revise more of the articles in our " workshop " to more

accurately reflect this reality.

*

*It does not matter if crystals talk to you or not everything is of the

whole.* *The face I see may differ from what you see. We can each

discover our own ways of being .*

*There are healing and spiritual and magical practices involving

crystals in virtually every Culture of the world. As with the ability

to make bread or beer or use fire, when you really dig down to the early

stories, what you hear is that Spirit Or spirits gave humans this gift.

Usually to bail us out of some mess we had gotten ourselves into or on

occasion to reward someone for some particular kindness, courage,

bravery, virtue or perseverance .*

Peggy

Thank you for posting this - I hope that we can explore some of these avenues

and differences on the list. I'm presently trying to sort out all my various

leadings in learning about dancing with the crystal/stone spirits as I have so

many questions about so many things.

I do know that the spirits themselves have so much to teach us, but different

people have so many different perceptions about how that happens that I am

sometimes led to think that I'm either not doing something right, or that I just

don't have what it takes to " get it " . I know that's not true - I've learned a

lot from the stone spirits and know that they have been calling to me over the

years to learn from them and to honor their gifts. Sometimes I just get lost.

Sometimes I hear loud and clear, other times I think that since I don't hear

them giggle or sense them jumping up and down like others do that I am

hopelessly incompetent. My Guide assures me that I hear just fine and that my

path is just different from others in a lot of ways that are not important

enough to worry about. In any case, I welcome the chance to hear these

differing pathways discussed and am all ears.

Thank you again
