Crystals

[Links Shadow]

I am going a little off topic but Nick, or anyone else that has read both Hands of Light and Light Emerging, which one would you recommend?  Which one have you found more useful?  My local bookstore has both but I only have enough money for one of them right now so I have to make a decision.  Thanks in advance.

Thank you timeless,  I completely forgot about seeing if my local library had them and it does, I now have both and look forward to reading them.

Many claim when meditating touching this skull they hear the voices, wisdom and even see scenes from ancient Mayan times.

My aunt has used a crystal skull and swears by them but I have never personally used one or even seen one so I can't say much more. Hope this helps a little.<<<<<<<<<<<


My understanding is that crystal skulls are both very rare and nearly impossible to obtain. Perhaps your aunt has access to some type of replica or a machine manufactured crystal skull[?] Original crystal skulls were hand made by a long lost artistic skill.

[LA FORET MAUVE]

Ah...i saw one of these skulls at the museum of enthropology in Paris, but couldn't touch it of course...
Unfortunately, i wasn't in crystal gazing yet, so i didn't attempt to gaze into it...[B)]

I am watching an episode of "Worlds Best" entitled "Top 10 Places of Mystery" on the "Travel Channel" and #10 on there count down is the Mayan Crystal Skulls.  According to the show there are only 13 of them in existance and only 5 have ever been found.  It showed all 5 of them and they were beautiful.  It was weird though because while they were showing them it was like time itself slowed down.  They only showed them for a couple of minutes but it seemed like 30 minutes.  If anyone else has seen this show did you experience anything like that.  Hewlett Packard the famous computer company was given the task to figure out how they were made, but they concluded that they should not even exist.  Why you might ask?  Because the stone that they were made of is just slightly softer than diamond and the skulls showed no sign of tool usage.  It is as if the stones were originally created in there shape.  Because there is no known way to form crystals like that with out leaving an sign of tool marks.  I just thought I would share.

I use a variety of crystals.  Herkimer diamond, generator quartz, calcite, jade, amber, many, many.  I first had a dream in which I was told to get one.  I did and began drawing it into my dreams and astral projecting with it.  It was quartz and aided in clairvoyance and telepathy.  I find double terminateds make fantastic shields, combinations of colored calcite for example blue and amythest have been great for protection.  I am so amazed by these wonderful pieces of the earth.  Using them on the astral plane I have learnes how to move my own Kundalini, balance my chakras and subtle bodies.  The earth gives such gifts.  Once I even had a horrible headcold, chanting a healing mantra into my herkimer diamond I proceeded to sleep where, I dreamed of the ritual I had prformed.  I awoke completely free of my illness.  Very helpful if you are drawn into battle out there.

Thank you for sharing psiclone,  you are correct crystals are amazing.  They can help on so many different levels, and heck they are just plain beautiful to look at.[]

Hi, I was looking for people to talk about crystals. Now I found a list of posts. Thank you.
I use rose quartz beside my pillow. I like the look of it. I not sure if I did sleep better but with a bunch of different crystals I did not have any bad dreams lately. I believe in the power of crystals. Maybe I did manifest that thought.

Thanks in advance for all incoming  replying....[]

[starjasmine88]

Hi, has anyone use lemurian seed crystals. They are said to help with astral travels, dreaming, connection as one with the Divine etc. There are many sites on this crystals and I think they are quartz as well.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi all,

I have a question.
What crystals can best assist me in remote viewing (sodalite?) and in channeling a spirit guide someone told me amethyst [?]

Light to everyone,

[Links Shadow]

Greetings Tortue,

I have not worked with remote viewing or channeling spirits all that much but clear crystal quartz is said to work depending upon the form of it.  Here is a link with more information.

I hope this helps.

Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a really good website at www.wisdomsdoor.com that has information on crystals for energy work and astral projection. There is also some great audio files on these subjects. This site is a really good introduction to metaphysics I think. Check it out! (If you want to look at the crystal stuff go to the "Reality Creator 2" book)

It appears my first post was not seen. Either that or i have terrible eye-sight. All the better because i got my birth stone wrong []
Anyway, i'll redo my question.
Does a person's birthstone work better in their company? For example, my birthstone is amethyst. So would amethyst be more powerful for me than it would for somebody else who has, say, ruby as a birthstone?

[Links Shadow]

Sorry about not replying to the original post, but I have never experiemented with this to see if that is the case or not.  My birth stone is a diamond and I have to say that I have strong sensations when working with diamonds but I can't say for certain that birth stones are more effective that those that are not.

I have a rose quartz that I bought, unpolished or anything. It is a pretty big piece, it fits in my closed hand, and it only cost a dollar! I bought it at a mineral rock store. You can buy them at muesems too I bet.


Either way, I also have a clear quartz that I found, I've purified the rose one, but not the clear one.

I never really knew what to do with em, mostly i just carry the rose quartz with me, and leave th clear one at home.

Intersting thing I read a while ago...Quartz can resonate with F# I think, which can cause it to vibrate at such a frequency that it will FLOAT.

In fact, scientists even consider the possibility of the pyramids of egypt being built by moving the large quartzite slabs of stone by resonating them with trumpets or some other musical instrument blaring the F# note!

[dino333]

I have a few stones that I've picked up at the Natural History Museum. How exactly do you use crystals anyway? You don't eat them, do you?[xx(]

[Links Shadow]

Eat them well I guess you could eat some like salt, but I would not recommend eating them if you want to use them for metaphysical practices.  Just hold them in your hands and imagine that energies from them are flowing into you.  In reality though you don't have to do visualizations or be holding them but it does increase their effectiveness.  I have crystals placed throughout my house to spread their energies so that my house is my sanctuary devoid of much of the worlds negativity.  Makes time at home much more enjoyable.

In general the closer the stone is to touching you the more effect it will have on you.  The more you believe the crystals energies are helping you the more they will.

Where did you read this?  I have heard of stones and such being lifted by sounds but I have never seen that scientists have figured out that it was a single note that was capable of doing so.  I have read that many differents notes and rhythms are required to achieve such a result.

Here is a link which goes along with this idea.

last night i tried sleeping with a piece of un-polished rose quartz on my brow chakra. i woke up this morning feeling as if i'd had about 10 cups of less-than-weak coffee and this lasted most of the day, even though i'd not had any caffine for several days and slept my normal hours... :-/ it was not fun, i won't be trying that one again.

[skymageinfinity]

I think that was the first time you done it right?

From what I know there are 3 reasons,

1) Your head (or chakra or whatever) got used to the crystal and as you removed it it felt the 'shocks' or 'gaps' of it not being there

and/or

2) Your head was getting used to the crystal and that is the reason why your head felt a mess. It was experiencing an interference of frequencies from your crystal. It was working harder to 'integrate' the crystal as part of your energy.

and/or

3) The crystal was 'empty' and it was simply just absorbing your energy.

It depends if the crystal agrees with you or not, and visa versa.

I remember I bought a quartz crystal wand (cut + polished), and the first time I wore it I was on my mobile phone. Usually because my phone has a cheapo battery it only lasts for about 2 phone calls of 20 minutes.

However, when I wore my crystal, for some crystal mystery, I had about 5 calls of 20 minutes each. Whether it was the temperature affecting the battery or the crystal amplifying the batteries flow of electrons I am unsure. But what I do know is, that is the longest time I have had my phone running and it was the only time I was focusing on my crystal while I was on the phone (since it was the first time I wore it, the crystal was on my mind). As soon as I stopped that focus, the phone died!

Like I think it was Links Shadow said before, crystals work as easily as you telling them to work. The more you want them to work, the more they work. Strange isnt it. Sometimes, I feel their is a spirit inside the crystal, and if you dont respect it, it can hurt you.

There have been times where I have woken up a bit 'drained' from energy when I had a crystal near by. Other times it has done the total opposite. You should really cleanse the crystal before you use it, especially for any chakra work.

I once had an extremely powerful crystal once... so powerful it broke itself into 3 pieces. I was so upset, I ended up throwing one piece in the ocean, and burrying the other in a place where I can no longer dig it up (stupid me). Whether or not my energy or the crystal agree with those actions, I am still suffering from those stupid actions. I had a part of me stored in those crystals, and me being the dummy I am, threw them away in places where I can no longer get them back...

It took me another 3 years after that before I could deal with crystals again (that being a few months ago)... and I am now being extremely sensible with them since I now understand some extreme powers the can possess... I learnt that the hard way

If you ever find an 'empty' crystal, which I define as a crystal vacant of a spirit... you have to be VERY CAREFUL. If you programmed it, dont ever throw it away like I did, unless you are willing to sacrifice a part of yourself. This advice goes for everyone really.

If anyone has any ideas about programming crystals from personal experiences and not from books and crap, I would like to exchange information.

I know this was a long time ago, but how did u keep the quartz on ur brow when u went to sleep.  or did u like meditate with the crystal on ur forehead then took it off afterwards.  id really like to know thx
