Crystal Research Articles

[Akkadian]

My wife and I used to own a small crystal shop in Ireland; we opened in 2002 and kept it for 3 years then when we wanted to re-locate back to the UK, closed the doors in 2005. While there we undertook a pioneering study into the healing qualities of stones & crystals; this lasted for 2 years and we eventually published our work in a limited edition book and in many, many articles in magazines around the world.
I would like to share these articles with you; as I think you may find them interesting reading – I’ll edit them and post entire articles in this forum. I don’t know whether they’ll come across 100% because I’m not sure whether I can put in the pictures as well as they appeared in the magazines – but I’ll have a go.
The main reason why we conducted our research was because we were looking for the answers to rather simple questions – such as – ‘if a stone has a therapeutic quality, why does it have that quality’? Why not another quality? What makes folk believe it is that and not this etc… We looked at over 50 different available published books and found that not a single one answered this question (to our satisfaction). Some writers ‘talk around the core issue’ but none seemed to actually define the reasons why and exactly how crystals can make changes to our body & mind…
My wife is naturally, acutely clairvoyant and sees energetic reality at will – she sees the natural energies inside and around all minerals and stones (in fact pretty much anything for that matter) – So, when she would look at an Amethyst bed for example – she sees the solar energy channels that go into each and every ‘point’ of every crystal present, the overall ‘rays’ that emanate from the bed and several other energy structures both inside it and around it. When someone would ‘use’ it to heal – she can see the channels that form between it and the person ‘being healed’. It has been extremely interesting as you can imagine. However, not everything we discovered about crystals and stones and energies will necessarily be appreciated by all of you – there are some facts that some folk won’t like to hear because they’ll break their stereotype thoughts and further – expose a lot of nonsense and misbelieve throughout the subject (in my opinion). I hope you’ll enjoy them but do ask that they are read objectively…


Now for a suitable first one…

Clairvoyant Research of Crystal Healing






My wife Nat was born in Ukraine while it was part of the Soviet empire, she developed acute, natural clairvoyance at the age of nine years old and ‘fine tuned’ it throughout her adolescence. After the Chernobyl disaster, she used her vision to see whether food was safe to eat or not as many fruit and vegetables would have a ‘black cloud’ of radiation around them. She would also see the energetic residues of herbicides and pesticide chemicals on food too and learnt to discriminate what she and her family should eat or drink.
In 2001, we moved to Ireland and opened a crystal shop in Cork City. I’d been interested in geology and crystals all my life and had plenty of experience in the mineral market. A few months later, in July 2002, we began a pioneering research project into the energetic healing qualities of crystals and stones.
The first realisation about the therapeutic qualities of crystals and stones is that their qualities are not because of their physical form in any way; it is about their subtle mineral energies – that is where their healing and spiritual influences lie. Where they have an energetic quality – it comes from an energetic level not a physical one. So if the subject is to be researched at all, it has to be studied from an energetic viewpoint. That’s where Nat had an advantage. She could easily switch her vision to see their energies and that was where the research began.
Initially, looking at various crystals and stones, she had tremendous confusion about what she was seeing. Some crystals had all different colours and rays, channels, waves and spirals of energy coming from them – while others seemed almost still, inert and had barely any movement of energy at all. Selenite crystals would have long ‘beams’ of white energy flowing from either end, Topaz crystals appeared to have a ‘fountain’ of energy coming from their points. Turquoise had an energy structure that resembled a sphere or ball shape surrounding the stone, with one hemisphere as light blue and the other half as light green. Ametrine pieces were even more bizarre, with several different energy spheres surrounding them of different colours. It really was extraordinary and at first it didn’t appear to make any sense at all.
After a few weeks however, Nat realised that the way man treats minerals seemed to play a major part in answering some of the mysteries. When some minerals and crystals were polished into ‘tumble stones’; many in this new, aesthetically attractive condition seemed to have dramatically less energy than those same minerals that were unpolished. As there seemed to be problems and contradictions with some of the polished stones, so we deliberately only used the natural, rough stones and crystals from this point onwards.
An interesting observation was found with crystal and mineral candle-holders; these are quite common in holistic centres and crystal shops, particularly those cut from Rose Quartz or Amethyst. When they have their candles lit, after some twenty seconds Nat would see a sudden ‘mini – energetic explosion’ and the subtle mineral energy of the stone would increase its field by about 300%. This larger quantity of energy existed as long as the candle would burn and as soon as it went out the energy field would diminish back to its normal size. A similar situation happened with a crystal being put into a pot of earth; its energy field would grow dramatically. When we placed a crystal into a glass of water, we found the same thing happened and when the crystal was taken out of the water and dried on a cloth, its energy would shrink back down to its ‘normal’ level. Now here we had Fire, Earth and Water; but what of Air? Surely the crystals are always in ‘Air’ so why do they change when put into another condition?
The more she examined their energy, the more she began to appreciate how extremely intricate the subtle energy channels were, both inside and outside the minerals. By changing the level of her vision, she could begin to study the different energetic structures that all minerals possess. She defined that they actually have four different ones, on four different, corresponding levels of reality. Just as we possess several subtle vehicles in our multidimensional reality; so do all minerals of the Earth. To be able to continue her research, because there were no ‘names’ for these structures; she had to give them names.
The most primitive and primeval of all was one she called the ‘Quad’ structure because it has four ‘petals’ and looks like a propeller shape, it exists on a level of reality where there are only the four elemental energies of Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Each ‘petal’ of the Quad structure allows one type of these elemental energies inside it and as the four energies enter, they are transformed to another level at the centre of the structure.
Now the subject really becomes profound because we defined that all minerals are actually ‘alive’. Let me explain; if you look at other people and at animals, you can see they are ‘alive’. If you then look at plants and trees, you can understand that they are ‘alive’ too, but there is so little movement that it is simply more of an acknowledgement of life rather than a perception of it. Now when you look at a stone… you generally cannot perceive there being any ‘life’ there at all and this is because they are so primeval and primitive in evolution. However, when someone with highly developed clairvoyance looks at a stone, there is instantly a different story to tell. All minerals are ‘alive’ – but their form of life is very limited. They have what we call a Monad, or a ‘tiny, spark of life which solely exists for one function; to react to different types of subtle environmental energies in a certain way. Every time the Monad reacts to these energies ‘outside itself’ it grows very, very slightly. It does not think, does not feel, is not self aware or intelligent in any way – it simply exists and reacts to specific types of energies around it and that is all. It absorbs these energies in very small quantities and then emits them outside itself. Its structure is that of a sphere, like a ball of energetic life in the centre of every crystal and stone.
The elemental energies are passed from the Quad structure to the ‘Monadic Sphere’, where they become in contact with these other surrounding subtle energies of that level. The Monad ‘makes changes’ to these and then emits them as one form of a new energy. Nat called this 'mineral energy'. This ‘mineral energy’ is different with every different type of mineral. Therefore you get ‘Rose Quartz energy’, ‘Amethyst energy’, ‘Calcite energy’ and these are all different types of the same ‘mineral energy’.
So, the reason why the candle-holders would have a dramatic increase in their mineral energy field was because the Monad of the mineral had to maintain harmony and balance. Where suddenly there was an unequal proportion of ‘Fire energy’ entering its system, it reacted the only way it could; it increased the quantity of the other three elemental energies to balance the situation. With this increase of the balanced elemental energies; it also increased the absorption of the other surrounding subtle energies and the end result is more mineral energy ‘produced’. This is why these crystal or mineral candle-holders are very useful healing ‘tools’. We can even add several candles around them to increase the field of energy to a maximum 'saturation' level.
By placing a crystal into earth, or into a glass of water, its mineral energy field is by result much larger due to the same reason. We are however, still left with the mystery of ‘Air’ aren’t we? Well the secret there is not air but wind… If you blow on a crystal, its energy grows; so the fact that it is always present in our environment in ‘still air’ means it doesn’t react, but put it into an area of moving air and its field will grow accordingly. Therefore it might be more accurate to call the elemental energy of air as ‘wind’.
We can now return to the issue of why some crystals have less ‘mineral energy’ when they are changed to a polished condition. All minerals have ‘intake channels’ for bringing the surrounding energies inside their structures and ‘exit channels’ that allow them to give these out afterwards as ‘mineral energy’. Yet we found that some minerals such as Agate and Aventurine, have either their ‘intake’ or ‘exit’ channels so damaged or destroyed from the accelerated attrition process that the Monad cannot deal with the quantity of energies inside its sphere. It either has too much or too little and as a result it suffers a chaotic condition and can no longer function correctly.
The therapeutic qualities of crystals and minerals is a very large subject. There are perhaps some 10,000 different identified minerals on and in our Earth, probably many more as yet undiscovered. Each and every one will have fixed certain qualities. However, where two or more mineral types are combined as one (such as Azurite and Malachite, commonly found together) then their qualities change to become yet different again. That is why it is perhaps an impossible task to list the qualities of all minerals because you could never cover every single different example. Nat took an easier number – she just chose fifty and studied these in depth. Only observing the energies of the natural stones, over five years, she has spent a long time with each of them, learning everything she can. She spent ages carefully drawing, then painting their energies to produce their images.
The original task that she set out to do was to define why they have ‘healing qualities’ and how these actually affect the mind or body. This is a mammoth task, not because it is essentially complex, but because it needs so much groundwork covered before people can possibly grasp the concept of the answer. So let’s start laying down a foundation…
If a crystal has an energetic quality that can help the health or well being of a person then it must have an explanation of the process. If there’s no explanation – we have to consider the ‘supposed quality’ as suspect. So the answer must lie on the subtle reality of the human system. Generally speaking, most people reading this will already be familiar with the fact that illness and disease does not start with the physical body. The exception might be where we might have an accident, ‘cut ourselves’ and thus have a wound… However, even there; there is a reason for the event and there is a cause for why we happened to be in the right place at the right time for the event to take place. We might have all manner of emotions and thoughts as a result of the event… By illness and disease I am really referring to matters internal of the body; things like pain, organ dysfunction, blood pressure, arthritis, rheumatism, nausea, infertility, lack of vitality, lack of concentration etc. All of these matters begin on the ‘subtle side’ of our being and manifest out into the physical body. When we have problems like these; it is like we are trying to tell ourselves ‘something isn’t right within’ and the body acts like a big signpost for our consciousness to pay attention to it. Unfortunately, the greater majority of us can’t ‘read the signs’ and we just ‘keep on driving’. So more often than not, the ‘signs get bigger’ until we do notice them. Well, that’s all very well as a philosophy, but where is the explanation of the issue?
Imagine, you can look at the energetic system of a person. The first thing you might see is the major chakra system. These funnel shaped, colourful energy vortices have energy channels that travel from them to all the organs and systems of the body. From the skeletal system to the blood circulation system to the lungs to the pancreas, the bladder, the muscles, the tendons of the limbs; everything is connected by these channels of energy. Now imagine you can look ‘inside’ these channels and that you find they are actually composed of ‘sub channels’ and that these actually ‘fine tune things’ as they deal with the various functions of the organs and other systems. So in the stomach for example, there are sub channels that travel to organise things to do with the production of stomach acids and others that deal with the creation and maintenance of the stomach walls.
Inside these sub channels are micro-channels, and further still, inside them there are energy threads and even deeper, there are micro-threads of single types of human subtle energies. The latter sustain and maintain the vitality of every single cell at any moment, in the body.
However, these particular ‘single, human subtle energies’ also carry a ‘program’ or ‘command’ – to tell the cell what to ‘do’. When we are in good health, this program is correct and functions perfect normally . However, it can become distorted or misaligned and therefore it can begin to tell the cell ‘different’ things to do instead of its normal instructions. When this happens, it is not long afterwards before ‘we’ begin to feel the effects and illness soon can follow.
All crystals and minerals have their own unique variety of subtle mineral energy. Each type of mineral energy is distinct from another type because it has a different strength and frequency of vibration and it is this difference that separates them all apart. However they all have one thing in common; they all carry a special ‘coding’ or agent that acts to constantly maintain harmony. It is called the Element of Harmony. Every single crystal or gemstone therefore has a unique type of mineral energy but they all contain this special harmonising agent.
Where a crystal has a therapeutic quality for a part or system of the body; it is because its mineral energy has a very close relationship with one or other of the human subtle energies of that organ or system. This is because the two energies have very similar strengths of vibration in their ‘design’. When the two are brought into contact with each other, the Element of Harmony slowly begins to react to the ‘miscoded human energy and begins to balance it again. That is the simple secret of why crystals have healing qualities.

Clairvoyant Research of Crystal Healing

The first realisation about the therapeutic qualities of crystals and stones is that their qualities are not because of their physical form in any way; it is about their subtle mineral energies – that is where their healing and spiritual influences lie. Where they have an energetic quality – it comes from an energetic level not a physical one. So if the subject is to be researched at all, it has to be studied from an energetic viewpoint. That’s where Nat had an advantage. She could easily switch her vision to see their energies and that was where the research began.

I agree with the above but I also feel this is limiting a stone's energies to what one individual experiences.. your wife has the ability to see energy auras... otehr people may be more accute to the sense of touch as well as any of the other senses.. just as you mentioned below where mineral energies expand and contract when placed in water or buried in soil a mineral may show different and/or additional energies by examining them through a different "lense" of perseption.

After a few weeks however, Nat realised that the way man treats minerals seemed to play a major part in answering some of the mysteries. When some minerals and crystals were polished into ‘tumble stones’; many in this new, aesthetically attractive condition seemed to have dramatically less energy than those same minerals that were unpolished. As there seemed to be problems and contradictions with some of the polished stones, so we deliberately only used the natural, rough stones and crystals from this point onwards.

I agree with the above but again would like to expand a bit on it... For me working with a natural unpolished stone gives best results.. its not often you hear me talking about tumbled, cut, or stones which have been manipulated or enhanced in any way. That being said there are many out there who have their best results with tumbed stones. There are also naturally tumbled stones (river stones) which have unique powers of their own which they gained through this natural process. Stones which have been cut, especially into points, scare me at times because you never know just how the energies will be emitted. When a stone is cut into a point no one take into account the natural crystaline structure so even though you may think the point naturally projects the energies out the ip or attracts them through the tip if the crystaline structure does not allign with the direction of the point you may be surprised with the results of your work.

An interesting observation was found with crystal and mineral candle-holders; these are quite common in holistic centres and crystal shops, particularly those cut from Rose Quartz or Amethyst. When they have their candles lit, after some twenty seconds Nat would see a sudden ‘mini – energetic explosion’ and the subtle mineral energy of the stone would increase its field by about 300%. This larger quantity of energy existed as long as the candle would burn and as soon as it went out the energy field would diminish back to its normal size.

When we placed a crystal into a glass of water, we found the same thing happened and when the crystal was taken out of the water and dried on a cloth, its energy would shrink back down to its ‘normal’ level. Now here we had Fire, Earth and Water; but what of Air? Surely the crystals are always in ‘Air’ so why do they change when put into another condition?

In regards to candle holders.... These are mostly cut from massive rock which tends to radiate energy rather than direct energy like crystals would. Lit candles heat the air which changes its makeup and allows energy to more freely radiate due to the warmer air the candle creates.. this naturally expands the radiating energy of the mineral... for me it is not so much about increased energies from the stone but more about creating a more open air space to allow the minerals energy to radiate over a greater area.... this is jusy my sense of it however.

In regards to different energy emissions in different environs, soil, water, air.... just as any source of energy tavels differently and exhibits different qualities in these different environs its natural to assume that a crystals energies would expand, contract, show slight variations and recharge differently when placed within any of these environs. ie: Sound travels much faster and farther in water than in air...

The more she examined their energy, the more she began to appreciate how extremely intricate the subtle energy channels were, both inside and outside the minerals. By changing the level of her vision, she could begin to study the different energetic structures that all minerals possess. She defined that they actually have four different ones, on four different, corresponding levels of reality. Just as we possess several subtle vehicles in our multidimensional reality; so do all minerals of the Earth. To be able to continue her research, because there were no ‘names’ for these structures; she had to give them names.

As mentioned above... minerals/stones reviel their energies in sublty diffrent ways when viewed through a different lens... this is why I mentioned above that sensing energy througha visual aura is only one way of percieving the energy... Although a very good way to limit yourself to this level of energy is limiting what the crystal has to offer... that be said.. in many cases an individual has his/her best results by viewing things through one filter which is great.. but it is also good to encourage people to explre other "filters" through which to view things.

Now the subject really becomes profound because we defined that all minerals are actually ‘alive’. Let me explain; if you look at other people and at animals, you can see they are ‘alive’. If you then look at plants and trees, you can understand that they are ‘alive’ too, but there is so little movement that it is simply more of an acknowledgement of life rather than a perception of it. Now when you look at a stone… you generally cannot perceive there being any ‘life’ there at all and this is because they are so primeval and primitive in evolution. However, when someone with highly developed clairvoyance looks at a stone, there is instantly a different story to tell. All minerals are ‘alive’ – but their form of life is very limited. They have what we call a Monad, or a ‘tiny, spark of life which solely exists for one function; to react to different types of subtle environmental energies in a certain way. Every time the Monad reacts to these energies ‘outside itself’ it grows very, very slightly. It does not think, does not feel, is not self aware or intelligent in any way – it simply exists and reacts to specific types of energies around it and that is all. It absorbs these energies in very small quantities and then emits them outside itself. Its structure is that of a sphere, like a ball of energetic life in the centre of every crystal and stone.

The concept of everything being alive or having a unique "energy" of its own is referred to as Animism and is a concept many believe is one of humanities oldest realisations.


The elemental energies are passed from the Quad structure to the ‘Monadic Sphere’, where they become in contact with these other surrounding subtle energies of that level. The Monad ‘makes changes’ to these and then emits them as one form of a new energy. Nat called this 'mineral energy'. This ‘mineral energy’ is different with every different type of mineral. Therefore you get ‘Rose Quartz energy’, ‘Amethyst energy’, ‘Calcite energy’ and these are all different types of the same ‘mineral energy’.

The only thing I would add to the above is that after tis final stage of energy is formed and is emitted by the mineral it then passed on to and through what could be agrued to be the most important filter of all.... the individual...

I've talked about this many times before here... Any mineral/stone emitts energies.... to what degree we understand these energies and to how an individual stone reacts to an individual can, at times, be very personl. I like to relate this to language... what we read about mineral energies would equate to knowing the english language. Just like people have different accents a quartz crystal from Brazil with have slightly different vibrations than a quartz crystal from Arkansas. Just like family groups have different terms of endearments personal to then a quartz crystal from a specific mine in Brazil will have differences from another crystal from another locale in Brazil.. At the deepest level, which doesnt happen too often, you can share energies with a stone that are very sacred. These usually become life partners. Its this level of energy that everyone is seeking and it is also this level of connection which can never be learned from a book or another individual as it is so personal. And it is for this reason that we should always explore these energies personally and only use what other write about or say as a guideline


By placing a crystal into earth, or into a glass of water, its mineral energy field is by result much larger due to the same reason. We are however, still left with the mystery of ‘Air’ aren’t we? Well the secret there is not air but wind… If you blow on a crystal, its energy grows; so the fact that it is always present in our environment in ‘still air’ means it doesn’t react, but put it into an area of moving air and its field will grow accordingly. Therefore it might be more accurate to call the elemental energy of air as ‘wind’.

As mentioned above.... alter the state of the air and the energy of the mineral is allowed to alter as well... this is a big reason why inscence is so popular in spirituality... it alters the state of the air in the immediate environ through heat, scent and movement.

We can now return to the issue of why some crystals have less ‘mineral energy’ when they are changed to a polished condition. All minerals have ‘intake channels’ for bringing the surrounding energies inside their structures and ‘exit channels’ that allow them to give these out afterwards as ‘mineral energy’. Yet we found that some minerals such as Agate and Aventurine, have either their ‘intake’ or ‘exit’ channels so damaged or destroyed from the accelerated attrition process that the Monad cannot deal with the quantity of energies inside its sphere. It either has too much or too little and as a result it suffers a chaotic condition and can no longer function correctly.

I agree with this whole heartedly but to say "it can no longer function correctly" is saying everyone who has genuinely positive experiences with tumbled stones is not gaining all they can from that type of mineral. I dont think you mean this however but it is implied. Again... this type of work i personal and although there are many shared results the deepest results are also the most personal and therefore should never be dismissed by another. Again.. I couldnt agree with you more though.. personally I only work with natural stones but that is what works for me and it doesnt need to work for everyone else.

Again...Excellent post and I look forward to more. I think the most important thing to remember in all of this is that the last realization/manifestation of a specific mineral's energy is realized when it comes in contact with an individual. How these energies manifest depend in large on that individual and were they are at at that stage of thier life. This is why I must repeat that no matter what anyone writes or what anyone says the final connection made with any mineral is best acheived by opening to that specific mineral and allowing the energies to interact. Energy is a funny thing... it reacts differently when looked at throug different filters and when it is allowed to pass through and interact with specific environs, objects and individuals.

Thanks for the reply; I haven't read it through yet - but I'm sure there's room for enjoyable discussion :).

Here's the start of some images:

This is what nat drew as a representation of one of the energetic structures inside a clear quartz crystal, it shows the pattern / route of the 12 different changes that go on inside one when surrounding subtle energies come into the crystal. It provides no benefit to someone that works / heals with such a crystal - but I thought you'd like to see what she sees - on one level of inner reality.

Now I'll try to find some more pics. bear with me here; they're all much larger filesizes - so I have to reduce them down and load them to a pic site first before laying the tags...

Wow! This is some great info. Very interesting!
Thank you so much for sharing :) Looking forward to more soon.

[Wolfsong]

I would again like to say how great it is to see someone's interpretation of this subject.... having thought a bit more about your posts I would like to add one thought to my previous ones...

You mention that "The first realisation about the therapeutic qualities of crystals and stones is that their qualities are not because of their physical form in any way".

I dont want to say that I dissagree with you because it is not my place to judge what works for anyone. I would just like to point out my thoughts on this. As I have said so many times before if it works for an individual that is all that counts. Secondly.. if any information posted anywhere helps someone relate to a situation more clearly or gets soemone interested in a subject it again has achieved a positive outcome.

The concept that the energies of a crystal are in no way shaped or formed by the physical makeup or shape of a crystal is something that goes against my thoughts in regards to this subject. I say this because in my reality everything, including all energy forms, at some level has a physical form/makeup (science backs this up)... energy obviously to a lesser degree. If something has a physical existance it, according to the laws of the universe, has to be effected by other physical objects. You yourself at one point acknowledge this when you state that your wife sees the energies of a crystal change/shrink/expand when it is placed in different mediums (soil, water air/wind). If a crystal's energies can be effected by these mediums its only a logical step to assume that these same energies will be effected/altered by the shape/makeup of the crystal itself.

There are several other examples of this throughtout your post.

Again... very good information and information which is really needed when one discusses this topic but the core idea that the energies are not effected by the form or makeup of the crystal goes against my personal experiences.

If you are only talking about the nonphysical related energies/properties emitted from a crystal but acknowledge the existance of other energies then, for me, it becomes a very intertesting line of thought.

The most obvious physical property which comes to mind for me is color. Color effects the human body on all levels... that is why jail cells are painted the color they are.. as well as school rooms and hospitals... at least in part. A pale blue stone/crystal has a calming effect on most peaple (as well as other effects) The color patterns on a stone/crystal subconsciously effect a person's thoughts as well. A natural stone which resembles something familiar to an individual which the person holds dear has specific energies/properties for that individual.

Our community is a funny group of people with varying beliefs both personal as well as what has been referred to by some as "universal consciousness". One aspect which would fall into the universal consciousness grouping because it without a doubt goes back thousands of years is the fact that our ancestors acknowledged certain stones/crystals reminded them of something/one personal which created a powerful energy between that person/people and the object. The story that comes to mind off the top of my head is the story of Pipestone. To make a long story shorter than it should be native americans believed the color of the stone was caused by the blood of their ancestors which linked to stone very close to their spiritual beliefs. It is due to the color (a physical property) of the stone (red) which created this link to blood and in turn gave this stone the properties which attracted generation after generation to this material. If we say that physical form has no place in the properties of minerals/crystals we are in danger of making obsolete or bringing to an end the truths of our ancestors in this regards as they most suredly took into account the physical color, shape and other physical properties as well under some circumstances when they tried to discover the inner hidden proprties of these objects.

Now.. it could be argued that this interpretation is a human's interpretation of a stone's energy and as such is subject to error which it is.... but if applied across the board this would be the case for all of our interpretations. Another reason I say over and over not to take anyone's perspective as a truth. It is only that individual's truth and as such may not be your truth.. no one is right and no one is wrong.. they are just different truths.

As mentioned before.. we need not agree on everything and no one ever does.. all we can do at best is learn from these types of interactions and at the least become aware of others' truths and respect them as such... its what has made our community what it is today.

On a personal note.... I absolutely love these long and detailed discussions... it makes me think and opens new doors for me :)

Good Morning,

Shaping of stones... We defined that sacred geometry plays a BIG part in the expression of mineral energy... So all minerals - when cut and polished to a sphere seem to behave very differently to the form they originally had. A polished (chaotic shape) tumblestone of a mineral can (relative to its evolutionary group) show merely a 'cloud' like formation of energy, whereas when it was original uncut rough stone - it had distinct channels and these imbued with direction. When it is so polished as to become a sphere - it is frequently very different again - where it almost has a 'design' of its energy relative to the sphere shape. We concluded that all minerals thus cut to a perfect sphere are perfectly acceptable for use as their energies are expressed relatively uniform. A tumblestone of agate on the other hand has its exit channels virtually reduced to less than 10% of what it once had as a natural stone.
Pyramids; these are flooded throughout the market - but not the 'true' pyramid' - the tetrahedron - 4 sided shape that no matter what side is beneath it it always has a point to the top. In contrast to the 5 sides of the 'commercial' pyramids with one square side to the base. A true tetrahedron shaped stone creates a really odd thing - it creates a mirror image of itself beneath it. So if you have one on a table in front of you - visualize an exact replca in shape and size extending beneath it - so it almost in a sense becomes a 'diamond' energy shape. These also tend to concentrate a stream of energy (channel) on the mineral itself vertically downwards - so they do have positive uses for healing work in some applications. Whereas the standard irregular 5 sided pyramids don't, in our opinion.
Egg shapes - these too can be conducive to mineral energy work - Angelite especially is suited to an egg shape because its natural energy pattern is spiral in design and flows perfectly from both ends of the 'egg' when cut and polished thus.
However there are commercial forces that impel mineral cutters and polishers and they go with what they think they can sell... So the market is flooded with 'wands' of all sizes and types and by and large these serve no better use for energy flow from a mineral (unless it happened to be clear quartz and it just so happened that the original point remained the same after cutting the wand from a crystal; then they're ok. We actually have one quartz wand that has its mineral energy flowing sideways because of this reason; we use it in lectures and workshops to serve as an example.

Stones in the four elements: When we put a crystal in water or soil - we are immersing it into a new (in one sense) energetic environment - it has nothing to do with the 'physical matter' of the soil or water - it is only about energy. The same process happens (if some oy you can bear the thought) when a crystal is put into a flame or fire... its energy grows 300% just as in water - but there is no matter involved - only energy. It's as though these things are the quintessence of these four energies.

I've found another article - here it comes in the next post, apologies if there is repitition...

New Thoughts for Crystals


Many people have looked at a crystal at one time or another and have had the brief, but specific thought that crystals must somehow be ‘alive’. It’s often a very quick thought because it’s automatically followed by a second more powerful thought of ‘but there’s nothing to prove it, so let’s think about something else’...
Imagine, if you will, a world where if you look at an object and think about its ‘life’ - your perception of it dramatically changes and you begin to see streams of different coloured energy issuing from the object in every direction. Then, as you ‘watch’ these streams and channels of energy moving, you see them travel in a certain direction, towards something else that you don’t quite see...
Nat began to study the subtle energies of crystals and minerals in the little study above our shop, she drew their energies and described them and then began observing what happened energetically when people used crystals in healing exercises. At this point, she also began to observe people’s thoughtforms - particularly the thoughtforms of healers and therapists while they worked on their patients / clients. This stage of research achieved some radical conclusions...
Generally, not many people mention the term ‘thoughtform’; it is used in ‘closed’ esoteric groups when beginners are trained and initiated into the mysteries, it is also found in some little known Theosophical books. A thoughtform is not ‘thought energy’ and neither is it ‘the intention to do’ something – as these are different. ‘Thought energy’ is the ‘power’ within a thoughtform and ‘intention’ is the purpose or principle of objective thought. A thoughtform is an energetic object, created when you think.
It is absolutely impossible for us to exist without the creation and employment of thoughtforms. They are an intrinsic part of our inner reality. All healers, all therapists, all teachers, doctors, students, bakers, bricklayers, salesmen and all people of all walks of life… use thoughtforms. I think it was Ptaah, through Jani King in the 90s that used the term ‘idea construct’ - it is the same thing - a thoughtform. The deliberate study of thoughtforms in depth can completely alter the way you look at your life, you may perceive your mind to be capable of extraordinary abilities, not the least of which is to be able to change realities...
By the fact that you’re reading this magazine, we can take it for granted that you are either ‘awakening’ or ‘awakened’. That you either understand or accept the concept of a multi-dimensional reality and that you are aware that you have several ‘vehicles’ or ‘bodies’ on several different ‘levels of reality’. This makes things easier to grasp the concepts of thoughtforms... When Isaac Newton proposed his laws of motion and gravity, they became accepted to the fold of those laws we now call Physics; but they apply only to this ‘physical’ level. There are ‘other’ levels, and therefore there are ‘other’ laws. In this physical level, matter is composed from molecules of atoms, yet in the level of the mind, the fifth dimension, the matter that composes that reality is far subtler. It is also extremely reactive to thought. As we think - this matter instantly forms shapes that are exactly relative to our thought. The type of thought dictates its structure and colour; the strength of the thought dictates its size.
So let’s look at the process. You look at an object - anything; within a fraction of a second you have a thought about it; you create a thoughtform, it is based on your perception of the object and the interaction of your mind and consciousness. It’s as though the thoughtform is a reflection of your thought, but more than that because the thoughtform IS your thought, it is the embodiment of all principles and objectives of the thought. If you can imagine that it is also attached to countless invisible ‘strings’ that travel in all directions to intertwine with the ‘causes of all reality’ and karma; so that the thoughtform can be perceived as a ‘component’ of all reality at all times. Like a part of a jigsaw puzzle that has just been made - for a puzzle that is constantly changing and unfolding.
Now let’s look at some numbers... on average, we create anything from thousands to hundreds of thousands of thoughtforms every day. There are some 6 billion people on this planet so that adds up to a vast, incomprehensible number of thoughtforms being created and each one ‘fits in’ to the grand unfolding scheme of life. That’s how huge this concept is – and it is happening perpetually with us, all of the time. It becomes all the more extraordinary when you consider that, generally speaking most people are entirely unaware of the situation yet are directly involved with it. There is a phrase ‘global human consciousness’ – it is used to describe the ‘current situation’ of the level of spiritual awakening of humanity. These countless billions of thoughtforms act upon the global human consciousness constantly. You can make your own mind up about whether this global level is high or low at this time.
Generally speaking, there are two types of thoughtforms, weak and strong. The weak ones are little more than ‘information bubbles’ which we create for a brief moment of time and when that time has passed, they become obsolete and we no longer have use for them. Such ‘ordinary’ thoughtforms have a kind of in-built ‘self destruct mechanism’ that acts from the moment when they’re no longer used. It is directly related to the amount of attention we give to the process of creating the thought in the first place. Perfect examples of this can be the thoughts you created when reading sentences of this article a few lines back… remember those thoughts – no – well that’s because you didn’t need to. If you have a conversation with someone, you might describe something and then your companion might comment on your description, you think (very briefly) on what they say – and instantly reply with a further point of conversation. Move the clock forward by just a minute or two and you’ll find you have no connection to the thoughts you made in this conversation except those which are of value to you. These latter thoughts are more important… “What time did he say? 3pm – yes, I must remember 3pm”…
Strong thoughtforms are made where the person deliberately and consciously pays more attention to their creation. These types of thoughtforms are wholly different to the ‘information bubbles’ – because we value these thoughts – we put ‘more’ into their creation; we pay greater attention to them. The more attention we pay – the stronger they are and consequently the longer they will last in ‘time’.
The power of the energy within a thoughtform comes from a special part of us called the Psychic Energy Structure; it will take some description...
When Nat studied Chakras in detail, their energies (where they came from, where they went, what different types they were etc), their channels, to which organs of the body these were connected, their entire energetic design – she realised there was 'something else' present too. She could see the energies travelling into, through and out of the Chakras, but there was another energetic structure present to which all subtle human energies entered and later exited. She drew it for me to understand... Imagine that as you look at someone, you see their seven main Chakras and intertwining between them travelling upwards and then returning intertwining back downwards again is a special constantly flowing energy channel. Now imagine that each Chakra actually has another energy centre in the same 'place' – but on a different level of reality. Now take away the Chakras altogether and you are left with seven energy centres with this interweaving channel going up and then back down again perpetually. This is the Psychic Energy Structure, it is directly responsible for supplying 'power' to all forms of energy in our energetic system, including the energy in our thoughtforms. It is like a ‘charging station’.
All forms of energy have two aspects; their strength of vibration and a frequency of vibrations; all subtle human energies are related to Chakras by their strength of vibration and by their frequency to these 'other centres' (which we named the Psy Centres). The special energy channel that travels around and throughout the structure contains 'Psychic Energy' (aka Kundalini; but I prefer not to use that name as it has too many inaccurate stereotypes). This Psychic Energy has the ability to 'charge' or refresh other energies.
Imagine our surprise to realise that the Chakras are responsible for the health of the body...only. That they are not actually involved with our psychic or spiritual development at all because that is a matter which is actually associated to the Psychic Energy Structure. When people associate the power of clairvoyance to the Ajna or Brow Chakra – it is actually the Psy Centre at the brow, in the same place as the Brow Chakra that governs that ability. No doubt this concept might come as a shock because it contradicts traditional beliefs. Or does it? Could it not be the case that past, clairvoyants could see the Brow Chakra and associated it to the power of inner sight without actually even realising there was another energy centre present in the same place? Nat is not the only clairvoyant to have seen this system; look at the picture of the 'Kundalini Deva' in Geoffrey Hodson's book – 'The Kingdom of the Gods' and you will see a perfect Psychic Energy Structure image. That book was first published in 1952.
There's more. Where all energies have two aspects and it is their strength of their vibrations that actually associates them to Chakras; it is this principle that actually links the energies of crystals and minerals to Chakras; not their colour. Where someone might believe that a crystal is associated to an organ or a condition and they then 'work' with that crystal with the purpose of alleviating that condition – it can be that firstly they may actually be using the wrong crystal yet they can achieve some success. This is because their thoughtforms can create an artificial quality that is anchored to the stone for a given time.
We also found that there is often tremendous misunderstanding about Chakras themselves; they can not be 'blocked', nor ‘closed’ for they are just permanent doorways with millions (literally) of different energies flowing through them in many varied channels. It is not the Chakra that is the issue – but it can be one particular energy type which people sometimes sense has a problem and then misinterpret this as the whole Chakra out of balance. Nobody can balance or 'clear a Chakra' – it is like saying 'I can clear the doorway for you'; all the while there is a torrent of different energies coming through the doorway all the time. The psychic exercise of 'opening a Chakra' is not what it seems – it is in fact the activation of the Psy Centre instead, through the deliberate use of specific thoughtforms...
I once had a woman come into our shop and ask for seven stones for her Chakras as she was studying for her Yoga training exam. I said that ‘various stones’ were believed by many people to be appropriate for the Chakras and showed them to her. She then sensed I had no personal belief that this was actually true and asked me for my opinion why. I placed 14 coins on the counter, seven piles of two each and then described our research at that time. After a few minutes she looked at me and said ‘you’ve just undone a years work’. I apologised and whispered “nobody knows about this yet, it’s a secret, you can take your exam and not worry about it, but a change is coming in the future”!
So to return to the original subject of crystals… After several years of research, Nat defined that as much as crystals do indeed have individual therapeutic qualities – they have them due to energetic reasons only. The subject has its foundation, from a very surprising corner and that is evolution. It is the evolution of life through the Mineral Kingdom that indirectly provides all healing qualities to crystals and stones. They do not have such qualities for our benefit at all; their individual, different subtle mineral energies are produced as a ‘by product’ of their existence. These different mineral energies are sometimes very similar to our own human subtle energies and that is where the link exists. This subject becomes endless in description from this point onwards.
Where someone actually knows the true quality of a stone and then deliberately creates a special thoughtform – with the function to command the energy of the stone to act upon a part of the body of their friend, client or patient – then great work can be accomplished. This is because the power of the thoughtform gives far greater strength to the minerals’ energy. Then, the subtle energetic part of the body begins to react and undergoes transformation, but that’s a whole new subject on its own…
