How to store our charged crystals?

Which Type of Container is Best for Storing Crystals?

By now, all formation owners would have known why our formation bowls MUST be of Glass material and no prints. But then many still made the mistakes of requesting plastic or other materials (exclude natural materials such as soil, wood, natural fabric..) used for our crystal bowls.

There are different ways you can keep crystals safely stored.

Some people like to use plastic containers. I’m not comfortable using plastic or other non-natural material for storage though.

My favorite material is natural wood. I love the way it feels, smells and protects my collection. If you’re not drawn to natural wood or natural stone then glass containers are excellent alternatives. Moreover, natural wood can be hard to find in our industrialized city.

There are some situations where you might not need a storage container. In the bedroom, for example, placing a crystal on your bedside table keeps it close when sleeping or meditating. Don’t have too many crystals out though, as a combination of energies may keep you awake!

Let me reiterate why we recommend Glass or natural material should be used to house ALL genuine charged crystals.

  1. Plastic will react with the crystals properties. The composite structure of crystals will be altered and decayed if we placed genuine crystals in plastic materials. Imagine having decayed crystals placed in our home?? This is a No No No. We don’t want to invite decayed energies into our home and office, right?
  2. Glass materials will reflect out the energies of the crystals. This is what we want to achieve. Amplify and reflect out the crystals embedded energies to ourselves and our surrounding. Plastic absorbed and distort the crystalline energies.

We don’t want distortion of the crystals energies because of any prints on our formation bowls too. That is why glass or crystal bowls with prints are a no too.

So, next time, please remember to house your crushed and/or big crystals only in Glass or natural material to avoid inviting distorted, “corrupted” and “decayed” energies into our auric fields.

Hope above information helps you to a proper container to house your genuine crystals.

Namaste!

Discover Crystals Healing

Healing is the process of repairing your system to perfect functioning. Holistic healing is healing in your Body (physical healing) , Mind ( emotional healing) and Spirit (Spiritual healing). Everybody’s healing journey is their own, as everyone has to follow their own unique path. I have been working with my clients for more than 8 years now on alternative healing, with focus on Crystal Healing techniques. Along the journey, i have discovered interesting findings. 

Clients undergone crystal healing, shown the following characteristics:

  1. They are happier and more calm. 
  2. Their thoughts are more positive and skin looks younger and brighter.
  3. Elimination/Reduction of negative habits 
  4. Before the therapy, i always urge my clients to drink a glass of water. After the healing, i recorded they will go toilet straight after the session and their urine usually yellowish.

For me, gemstone therapies have energized me, healed illness, helped me break bad habits, and changed my life. This is true energy medicine. Crystals provides one of the most fixed frequencies known to man. These frequencies are quite naturally “as solid as rock”.

Crystals and the Human Body

The human body has a complex electromagnetic system, also known as a vibrational energy system. Nature has created crystals to be perfect electromagnetic conductors, capable of interacting with our electromagnetic system. Crystals have been found to carry vibration that activates certain energy centers within our electromagnetic system, thus having a positive effect on our entire body systems.

Effects of Crystal Therapy

Crystal therapy aims to restore the balance and well being of a person. In such therapy assorted stones are placed on or around the body that resonate with chakras of the body. This helps to release impending blockages, refining the flow of energy. The recipient is able to experience a deep state of tranquility, letting go of attitudes and habits that are not beneficial, assisting in tuning ourselves to the rhythm of life. Crystals work on the subtle energy levels and in our auras to re-balance energies and improve our well-being. This therapy promotes peace and tranquility and reduces mental and nervous stress.

How can you use the power of crystals to create abundance and prosperity and a better life in so many ways? Would you like to learn to use crystals to assist you to manifest money?

Crystal Formations

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. 

Last month, i was requested by my client to create Crystal Formations for new office opening. These formations are to be placed in the high management executives’ office desks.  (See the photo above)

I have created these crystal formations based on the Considerations of creating a crystal formation and its matrices. You can read more from my previous blog – How Crystal Formations are created?

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. For good feng shui, place your crystal cluster in one of these areas:

  • Center
  • Northeast
  • Northwest
  • West
  • Southwest

It is best to avoid placing your cluster – unless it is really small – in the North bagua area.

Flying Stars for Year 2012

Prosperous Stars ( #1, #6, #8, #9 )

Locate these corners with prosperous stars and activate them correctly to harness the beneficial Qi. It is advisable to place crystals activating wealth and luck energies in this sector. Generally, your crystal formations would be advise to be place at this sector.

5 Yellow Star ( #5 )

5 Yellow, a misfortune star has arrived in the Southeast Sector for year 2012. It is one of the most dangerous star that indicates accidents, illness and just bad luck all round. Do not attempt any groundbreaking, renovation or drilling at this sector as you will disturb the 5 yellow. An auspicious time and date selection must be given to perform these activities. Do not sleep at this sector too. My suggestion is to place the 5 elements crystals and 5 elements oracle cards to remedy this sector. If your main door is at the Southeast sector, you will need to weaken its negative qi with Metal Cure. Using metal elements crystals will help to mitigate the negative energy.

P/s: If annual 5 is located at your Door or House Sitting location, do not attempt any groundbreaking or Moving-In.

2 Sickness Star ( #2 )
2 Sickness Star, a misfortune star has arrived in the North Sector for year 2012. It is a dangerous star that indicates accidents, illness and lost of wealth. Do not sleep at this sector too. Do not attempt any groundbreaking, renovation or drilling in this sector. An auspicious time and date selection must be given to perform these activities. If your main door is located at the North Sector, metal cure remedy is needed to weaken its energy. Using metal elements crystals will help to mitigate the negative energy. Alternately, you can activate natal #6 star to counter the #2 star.

3 Conflict or Quarrelsome Star ( #3 )
An inauspicious quarrelsome star is located at Southwest Sector this year; it brings about gossip, dispute and bad human relationships. You may wish to place a Standing Lamp that represents fire to weaken its negative strength. Alternatively, you can place fire element crystals to mitigate the negative energy in this sector.

Three Killing (San Sha)
Three Killing occupies 90 degree of a compass reading ( 5 1/2 mountains ) in the South Sector. Without proper time given, do not attempt any groundbreaking in this area as it can bring misfortunes like financial loss, injury and sickness.

Grand Duke Jupiter ( Tai Sui )
Grand duke, that occupies 15 degree of the Southeast sector ( SE1 ) should not be disturbed at any cost. It will experience defeat, obstacles and loss if you confront it with activites like groundbreaking.

Age Break ( Sui Po )
Age Break occupies 15 degree of Northwest sector ( Opposite Grand duke Jupiter ). Do not attempt any groundbreaking.

Hope that all of you will have a great year ahead in 2012. All the best….

With Love & Light,

How Crystal Formations are created?

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
Color Ray Influence

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.

Classes of Minerals (Crystals)

Class I – The Purifers

Class II – The Mirrors

Class III – Brighterners

Class IV – Transformers

Class V – Builders

Class VI – The Solidifiers

Class VII – Buffer

Class VIII-1 – THe Strengtheners (Resistors)

Class VIII-2 – Unifier

Class VIII-3 -Energisers

Class VIII-4 – The Harmonisers

Class VIII-5 – Bonder

Class VIII-6 – The Filters

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.
