Exploring your crystals

Exploring your crystals

 

Look closely at your crystal in every way that you can think of

examine every angle .Close your eyes and hold the crystal in your hands

for a moment or two. turn the crystal over in your hand feel the entire

stone with your hands and fingers

pay attention to any impressions and thoughts you may have.

 

Hold the crystal near your solar plexus and as you breathe out imagine

your breath

passing over the end of the stone then on the in breath imagine your

breath entering the crystal passing through it directly into your

abdomen continue this cycle to build up an energy circuit then relax.

 

Sit quietly for a while with your eyes closed and the crystal in front

of you then open your eyes and look at the crystal in front of you for

a few minutes . Close your eyes again

and pickup the crystal are there any changes in the way you feel or in

the way the crystal feels?

 

Hold the crystal in your left hand for a while then in the right hand

switch hands several times.

Place the crystal on your chakra centers, the most sensitive are

usually the solar plexus heart and brow

 

Place the crystal close to your body while you are lying down place it

on either side of your body move it around and see if there is a

difference in the way it feels in different locations

..place the crystal near your right eye ,your right shoulder, your right

hip , your left hip, your left shoulder, your left eye , what

impressions do you get ? does the energy of the crystal feel different

in different places ?

 

visualization for exploring crystals

Sit in a comfortable position and hold the stone in both hands

focus on the crystal for a few minutes

Let your awareness slowly float down into the crystal

until you feel you have reached a resting place

Explore the energy of the crystal through your inner touch

is it warm ,damp, smooth, rough, how does it feel to you?

relax and turn your attention and listen for any sound associated with

this crystal

is there any tone ,pulse, tune any high or low sound? listen for a

while. relax

Take a few deep breaths imagine that you a re breathing in the crystals

energy

What smell and what taste if any does this crystal have ?

relax with your inner vision imagine what the energy of this crystal

looks like

the quality of light , let any images play out before

your eyes just watch do not analyize

now become aware again of the crystal's taste ,smell. ,sounds and touch

..

gradually bring your awareness out of the crystal and return it to

your body and become aware of the world around you . You may wish to

take some notes to remember this crystal experience.

( the above are adapted slightly fromCrystal Healing by Simon Lilly )

 

Another way to explore a crystal is to speak for it or rather allow it

to speak through you

Hold the crystal or place it before you. Quiet your mind and enter

your meditative receptive state allow thoughts to form as though you

were the crystal and speak them as the crystal

You as you may also converse with the crystal ask it to tell you about

itself and listen for the answers some people like to use a tape

recorder for this

Hi,

 

When I first got interested in stones I bought every kind I could find.

Soon I had a bowl full but couldn't tell which was which. To help learn

more about my stones I would sit with the bowl in front of me, close my

eyes, and pick one out. I would hold it and roll it around in my hands

until I could tell what one it was. If I guessed wrong, I put it back in

the bowl. I kept picking rocks until I had been able to identify each of

them. Since some of them felt almost identical, but I could still tell

them apart, I guess I was able to pick up energy from them, but mostly I

think it was just their different shapes and sizes. Now I have so many

rocks it would take all day to do this.

 

Blessings,

Hello Group and Ruth,

 

This is a nice exercise Ruth, thanks for sharing.

 

I am in that category too, of having so many rocks.. I even buy them from craft

stores if they have them!

 

I think you would be able to tell the rocks apart because each one has a

different way it defines itself; and they answer you when you ask them

questions.

 

Our books and teachers help us a lot, but if we dont talk to those stones, we

still will only have half the knowledge. I recently purchased some apophyllite

pyramids and bought a multi-terminated piece with some druze and a few DT's on

the top.. it also looks layered like a cake.. I hadnt a clue, but I knew it was

for me as I asked my Citrine Pendulum while asking it about the stock numbers I

was interested in. I STILL didnt have a clue as to why it came into my life...

LoL.. so I asked it what was its function in my life.. a watery but strong voice

said, almost smilingly, [?] 'heeeeaaaallllliiiing'. Those of you that cruise

defs of stones and their purpose know that most dont list healing as a primary

function of apophyllite....

 

Its a great stone, and as I am a Reiki III, I get visions of using it in Reiki

treatments.
