Questions on what crystals to use

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I just finished reading the " crystal Pranic Healing " book written by

Choa Kok Sui. I would like to try using the crystals for healing and

have been searching the web for information and crystals. Thought I

will ask my question in this forum as you all seem to be really

knowledgeable about using them. Here are my questions :

1. The book mentions an optimum weight of 200 gms where the amount

of energy emitted by the crystal levels off, except the bigger it

gets from there, the energy is more denser. I am looking at one

crystal (larger) for one hand for receiving the energy and one for

delivering the healing (smaller). What sizes are advisable ?

2. Can the two crystals used be of different types (ex: the

recieving a clear quartz and the healing one a rose quartz). Will

this cause an imbalance. Just curious..

3. I noticed that some of the crystals sold are polished and some

are not. Does it matter. Will the efficacy of the crystal change

it the original crystal is reshaped and polished (processed).

4. Looks like clearer the crystal it is better. Most of the

crystals look like they are milky in the bottom and get clearer to

the top. Does the crystal have to be clear all through or the mixed

clarity will have the same strength as the clear ones ?

 

I would appreciate it if anyone in this group can answer these

questions for me. Pardon my ignorance, as I am new to this art.

 

Regards,

Sathish

I would disagree with that book as to the size/weight mattering. The author's

personal preferences are no doubt what make it matter for him/her. Let me

give you my personal reasons/experience as to why I say this ... I have some

tiny

raw yellow sapphires that are probably 1/4 the size of a pea that have such a

high and strong vibration you would think you are holding a ten pound crystal

for the amount of energy they emit. In the same turn, I have some crystals

that are 6 or even 10 inches long that their energies are soft and quieter then

the tiny yellow sapphires. Crystals are like people, do not judge them by

their size. Now there would certainly e instances where smaller crystals would

be

better from a comfort stand point such as laying on of stone where they can be

literally being laid on the body. Obviously you are not going to want to use

a 10 pound crystal on most of your body parts if you are putting it directly

on your person (or on someone else)

ABSOLUTELY!! Crystals enjoy working together and it is only the human mind

that puts rules and limitations on how we should do this or that with a crystal.

Bottom line (or top line if you prefer) use you own intuition and higher

power guidance to decide which crystals to work with, when and how. Books are a

good foundation and reference material but they are not etched in stone >G< and

while one person may feel calm while holding a certain crystal, another person

may feel anxious. Each experience is individual and personal. Also listen to

the crystals, they will volunteer when it is their turn to assist in the

healing/meditation/whatever they are being called upon for.

This again is more personal preference. While there are some folks who will

debate which are better... polished or raw. Tumbled stones are of course nicer

if you are carrying them in your pockets since they don't have sharp edges to

poke into you skin. I personally prefer using natural crystal wands over

polished ones but I do have and use them as well. It all depends on the need.

Sathish, please do not take this next part the wrong way as it is not a

reflection on you or directed at you. Does this author also have a website that

he/she is also trying to sell crystals? If Mother Earth thought this way then

she

wouldn't have created her crystals the way that she does with all the colors

and inclusions, wisps and veils, rainbows and fractures etc. Each crystal

type/color has it's own unique energies and purposes and to discount one because

it has a veil or chlorite inclusions (possibly creating phantoms an awesome

artistic addition to crystals!) is not only limiting of the potential work and

healing that can be done with them but also to me seems like and insult to

Mother Earth ... as if she doesn't know what she is doing. It's like saying the

only healthy vegetable to eat is broccoli or the only good fish to eat is trout

etc. Just like I don't go for the fad diets with food, I have no taste for a

crystal diet either. >stepping off soap box< ;-)

>soft smile< I see no ignorance here ... I see a person questing their truths

and what is going to work for them on their path.

 

Blessings to your weekend all.
