Natural rock crystals are one of the best feng shui cures for any home or office. Crystals come in many forms, and some of them, such as the geodes, generators or clusters, truly resemble a work of art. This makes it easier to decorate with crystals when other feng shui cures do not seem acceptable for a specific space.

Crystal Formations should be created based on the understanding of one’s Four Pillars of destiny. You only want crystals that you need to be inside your crystal formations. Crystals that are chosen for each formations are based on the understanding of the considerations listed below.

Each crystal has its own vibrations(energy),colors,classifications and elements. Careful considerations of what crystals are required for each formation is utmost importance.

Below are the Considerations of creating a crystal formation and its matrices.

Four Pillars of Destiny

Four Pillars of Destiny is a Chinese and Japanese conceptual term that describes the four components creating a person’s destiny or fate. The four components within the moment of birth are year, month, day, and hour. The four pillars is used alongside fortune-telling practices such as Zǐ wēi dòu shù within the realm of Chinese Astrology. (Extracted from wikipedia)

Elemental Energies

Using Elemental Feng Shui, we become aware of the innate energy patterns in our homes and offices and take steps to alter that energy so that it promotes good health, secure finances, and happy relationships.Katherine’s approach to Feng Shui is as both an art and a science. As a science, Feng Shui concerns the interaction of the natural and man-made environments. In calculating the full effects of that interaction, she combines careful observation with strict adherence to the standard rules of the method involved. As an art, she makes use of enhancements and countermeasures based on creative application of her understanding of the Five Elements.

Type of Crystal Energy

• Seeker and Simplifier
• Enhancer and Arranger
• Guardian and Dreamholder
• Barrier
• Dispeller and Restorer
• Attractor

The human mind resonates to the vibrations of the natural colors. We find meaning because our very existence is tied to this planet. The cycle of life is associated with the cycle of color.The colors have the same meaning and influence on our crystal formations. For eg. the green rays of spring, as life begins, help us with new undertakings, the gold rays of high summer give us courage, the reds of autumn give us strength and the cool violets and indigo rays of the waning year offer us inner vision and wisdom. This is powerful because colours allows us to use the colour rays of influence to fashion our crystals formation that will connect us to the natural world and the Life Force of the planet Earth.

Placement of Crystals Formation

Because crystals bring strong Earth feng shui element energy into any space, it is best to place them in bagua areas that are either governed, or strengthened by the Earth element.

Various auspicious and inauspicious flying stars position themselves randomly in different directions each year, and that is why the auspice and inauspicious of our crystal formations in different directions changes each year.

Cleansing of our crystals

Crystals come from within Mother earth. They are alive and intelligent, having the intelligence of nature within every cell of their beings. They are mined either by hand, machine, but grow in the earth and are removed from the earth to be used for many different purposes.

It’s important to remember that gems and crystals are alive. To remain alive and energized once removed from within Mother Earth, gems, crystals, and objects made from elements taken from the earth, need to be cleansed and energized on a regular basis.

 Method of cleansing our crystals

These are some of my favorite and effective cleansing methods

Smudging

A popular method of cleansing crystals is by ‘Smudging’. This involves burning either Smudge Sticks or Incense Sticks and going in clockwise directions (to you) to cleanse the stored energies. Several types of incense are specifically recommended for this because, when burned, they release certain elements into the air via the smoke which can effectively remove bad and built-up energies. The following incense sticks are particularly recommended for effective smudging: Sandalwood or Frankincense (more powerful) and Dragonblood (most powerful).

Running Water

If you live where you have access to good clear well water that is guaranteed to be free of chemicals, or running water from a creek or river that you know is not polluted, place your crystals and gems in a small container, and let the water run over them, preferably for at least two hours. This will cleanse and re-energize your gems and crystals. Please do not use tap water, since it is full of chemicals. I will include pomelo or lime leaves when i use this method. Be careful though because certain stones will actually dissolve in water, e.g. Red Selenite.

Salt Water

I use dry Himalayan sea salt in a small container and bury the stone for between 7 – 24 hours. Don’t use salt water as prolonged submergence can damage softer stones. If the crystals are very negative, i will also mixed with black salt to remove its negativity.

Programmed Candle

Hold over the heat of a “programmed”candle in the same manner. Do not place it directly in the flame because extreme heat can change the color of some of the crystals. For instance, Dessert Rose

Sound

The vibrations of a pure sound can energetically clean a stone. Use a singing bowl.
