Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 *A brief introduction to clear quartz crystals . The crystal most used in crystal* *healing is quartz . Sometimes called frozen light, quartz crystals form of silicon dioxide* *under heat and pressure. .Quartz has both piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties which* *means that the polarity of quartz crystal will change when subject to pressure or heat as* *well as when held.* *Piezoelectricity is that quality by which electricity and sometimes light is produced by* *compression . * *Many cultures and spiritual traditions have used crystals in ritual, often* *striking them to produce flashes of visible light. Pyroelectricity is that quality of an electrified* *state or polarity which is produced by variation in temperature.* *To scientists, engineers and communication specialists quartz crystal is a key* *component in radio, radar, sonar, television, watches, and computers.* *Quartz can transmit and receive, amplify, focus, project and store energies .* *They are the most versatile of stones . They are used in healing, in meditation, in* *manifestation , for protection and communication on all levels . They can work on every* *level for spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental healing .* *Clear quartz crystal or rock crystal is found all over the world and is among the most* *common minerals on Earth. The natural crystal formation is six sided or faced .Quartz can* *be used for any crystal purpose and can substitute for other crystals. Single and double* *terminated and tumbled quartz are probably the most used forms for crystal work.* *Clusters are also used a lot . Clusters are two or more crystals joined together in some way* *as bunches of crystals* *There are many different variations in the growth and faces of quartz crystals and many* *specific variants are used in specialized ways.* *Single terminated crystals have one six sided point on one end* *and primarily direct energy in one direction .In most healing techniques the point of the* *crystal is pointed toward where you want to send energy. To increase energy in an area you* *point the tip of the crystal in to the center of your treatment area ..To remove energy or for* *cleansing you may point the crystal away from the center. There are other traditions where* *the point is used for either projection or reception of energies.* *Single point crystals are used to charge chakras, disperse negative energy and for* *programming of many kinds. Virtually all crystal work can be done with single termination* *crystals and most people who work a lot with crystals will want to have a number of these* *in various sizes . Single point crystals are often worn as jewelry or carried as personal* *stones .* *Double terminated crystals have a point on each end. The natural crystals may have grown* *in soft clay or as part of a cluster. The naturally formed doubly terminated crystals are* *usually considered to be more effective than crystals which have been carved into a double* *terminated form. The human carved double terminated crystals are often used as healing* *wands . They are multi-functional energy moves outward in either direction or in both* *directions simultaneously.* *Double termination crystals are used to open a line or channel of energy between two* *chakras or points and to exchange energy or enhance communication between two people* *or organizations. They are often used in dream work, astral travel, journeying and to* *enhance meditation and visualization. They are also used for protection and help to maintain* *energy shields and filters. They are also sometimes used as tools for moving , removing and* *transforming energies from one location or condition to another* *Clusters are groups of crystals the termination's may go in many directions .* *often they emerge from a joint matrix or base* *The crystals reflect light and energy back and forth to each other .* *They have a strong cleansing and healing vibration. They can be used to clear energy in* *rooms and to assist family and group activities. They are often used as a focus or symbol* *for group healing and meditations. They can help harmonize the individuals in a group* *They can be used to program for organization of multifaceted activities such as studies ,* *writing or business plans.* *Other stones and crystals can be cleared by resting on a cluster and clusters have been used* *to activate and enhance the energy of other crystals.* *Male / Female* *Much crystal is milky white at the base and gradually gets clearer toward the tip* *Some crystal is as clear as water or cut glass . Other crystals are milky white and opaque.* *The clear crystals are often classified as Yang or Male crystals and said to represent action,* *power, force , strength and creativity . Milky white crystals are often classed as Yin Or* *Female crystal and said to represent receptivity, love, communication, negotiation and .* *A crystal with both clear and milky is believed to represent a balance of the active and* *receptive energies. Most crystal seems to have a combination of clear and milky crystal.* *The Male / Female quality of the crystal is not really of particular importance for most* *forms of crystal work. Some people feel that the clearest crystals help with mental clarity* *and rational thought and that the milky crystals promote intuition and sensitivity but I have* *not found that the difference if any is significant for most work .* *Rainbow Crystals are those which have veils or fractures within them which reveal rainbows* *These are very uplifting crystals which promote joy and inner peace and are often used as* *meditation crystals* *Veils and inclusions are often present in crystals these are said to represent the ability of life* *to transform stress and trauma to light and beauty some of these crystals can be profoundly* *healing of emotional and mental pain and sorrow.* *Tumbled quartz which is polished to smooth out the configuration or water tumbled quartz* *which is naturally smoothed also has many uses often it is placed as the center stone in* *sections of crystal layouts or used as a meditation or seer stone .The energy is projected* *from the entire surface of the stone so the energy might be sensed as more diffused or* *gentle* *** * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
