    Can anyone here recommend some books on how to communicate with crystals? I have 2 gorgeous crystals at home that I would love to use in healing.

      Books by Katrina Raphael , Crystal Healing,(vol 2)Crystalline Transmission (vol 3) and Crystal Enlightenment (vol 1) are 3 grreat books. Crystals speak to you through your intuition, it is about trusting that inner voice that says ”use me, I’m the right one for this person, place me here” etc the more you trust the clearer the transmission is between you and them. They are not stones that have an enrgy they are Beings that have taken on a crystalline form for service.

      Also, you can program your crystals for that very purpose (healing) fisrt clear them by running them under water with the intent of clearing, you can visuslaize a beam of white light running through them in the process. also expose them to sunlight for a few hours or the full moon to rechargethem especially if using them for healing on others. To program I simply say the words ”I program you for…. purpose” always thank them after using them as well.

      Thanks Marie-Cecile! I’ve always been drawn to crystals and I have many but I’ve never really programmed them before. My favourite is a clear topaz pendant that I got at a holistic fair. As soon as I picked it up all the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I knew I had to have it, even though I couldn’t afford it. So I arranged with the lady there to pay what I could and give her a shiatsu treatment to make up the difference. I was so happy to have that crystal! I wear it almost every day :)

      Thanks very much for the book recommendations as well!

      Hi Suzanne, yes I did – here it is:
      Rosi F: ”Melody’s ’Love is in The Earth’ trilogy of books are just amazing too, they have photographic images as well as some of the crystals physical and spiritual properties. I teach about the simplicity of connecting to the crystal beings (yes, they are beautiful spirits/fairy beings), by aligning the choice of crystal with one’s intuition foremost but also in alignment (for a simple and quick reference guide) to the chakra system and it’s range of beautiful colours. The greatest connection you can have to them is by what you described above, to ’fall in love’ with them and look after them as you would a beloved, listening to where they like to be placed or stored, that they may prefer rainwater or pure water cleansing – sun or moonshine, etc. Connect through your heart to them & listen through your spirit & keep it very simple as you begin your journey with them and expand your ever-growing life enhancing understanding and knowledge of these most beautiful beings. ”

      Hum… it’s possible either she or I accidentally deleted it. Let me know if that happens again.

      Barry, did you notice I just created a new topic for the blog and it happens to be about color??? Not sure if writing some of your experiences with color therapy is up your alley, but there’s the doorway :)

    I visited my favorite crystal shop today. They have an Earthkeeper that is magnificent, about 5’ high and 3’ wide, with a Rose Qtz vein running through it. I wish I could post the picture I took!

    A Happy Buddha made of Rose Quartz came home with me on Saturday. For those who do not know, Rose Qtz is the quintessential stone of love. The Buddha is small, but his energy packs quite a loving punch, he vibrates in my hand and truly feels alive…well of course the crsytal is! Right now it is in my pocket, it has the sweetest feeling, and I canot stop telling him how cute he is with the huge grin on his chubby face! I can tell he is just tickled pink to be with me! He looks like he is saying: ”I know something you do not and I’m not telling, tralalalala!”

      LOL hey, ask Buddha if he’ll tell me the secret! I can actually get a good feel for him myself. Quite vibrant, clear and joyful. A friend of mine had a huge chunk of the most beautiful rose quartz I’ve ever seen. It was a single point with a diameter of about 10”. Just stunning.

    For the first time in my life I sensed the need to work with a stone for our planetary work this weekend. After consulting a friend about it, she felt it was a piece of Lapis that I was sensing and when I read that in her email, I instantly had a connection with a very specific wand. I went looking for it online and found it at http://soul2shine.com. Very excited to begin working with it! But even better, the site owners Susan & Eric dropped by to join us here at HG too! @soul2shine

    Does it have “desire” as we might say, to share this wisdom? Or is it more like “ask and get answers”?

    Okay we won’t be giving crystals their own member accounts LOL, but I’m serious about letting it speak through this site, after all, we are One and this aspect of “I” should be able to communicate here as well as any other “I” that shows up :) Weird and cool!

    Reading this makes me mad at myself for not getting out more and being “one” with my experiences in nature. ARG. Life as a geek has its disadvantages. I hope you post more stuff like this because eventually I’ll get so irritated by the fact I’m not having these experiences that I’ll actually change ;-) [...]
