Listening to a Crystal
I would like to explain The Crystal's Songs a little more, as it encapsulates my approach to Crystals and Crystal books quite well. There's no mind-boggling secret formula to Crystals, just an awful lot of common sense which can be summed up by looking at the following picture and explanation:
This image is of a set of three tumbled Red Jaspers, which are a form of Quartz. Over time various people have written their interpretations of what their properties are. And as with most Crystal books this has been devoured as the truth. So how about I ask you to click on the picture - now what do you see?
They're still pieces of natural Red Jasper. But what has grown more prominently within them is a piece of white Quartz!
What does this mean for the properties of the Crystal?
There are so many Crystals like this, where they mayhap appear on the outside as one kind of Crystal, but there is in fact another one lurking inside altogether.
You could find yourself trying to use the Red Jasper for its properties of courage, willpower and energy (as per many Crystal books), but the white Quartz is supposed to be for gentleness, support and caution.
Being over-reliant on these guides and 'facts' can lead to disappointment. However, if you listen to their Crystal's Songs you will be able to feel that this piece of Red Jasper is not reacting as the book had told you.
Intuition over instruction
So my question is: Do you work empathically with the Crystals, and use your intuition and what they are telling you, or do you dismiss those feelings and side with what a book has told you?
Crystal books are just a guide – look at the pictures with your eyes, but listen and feel with your heart to what your Crystals are teaching you. You have to believe in your own feelings not what someone else's Crystals imparted to them at a given time. We're all individuals and your Crystals will sing to you, and only you will hear what they have to tell you.
As I say to my students if a Crystal doesn't want to go on a specific centre of energy (Chakra) then put on the Crystal that does! Don't force it to do something it doesn't want to.
Crystals in their Natural State
Is this what the Crystal world has come to? Crystals are gentle healers and not objects to be formed into gaudy ornaments. These precious objects are now being dug up from our already fragile planet just to be left on shelves to gather dust.
Trading as Crystals by Enchantment I sell many Crystals in their natural state; unpolished, and unaltered from their original formation. Also before anyone says anything, I know I sell Crystals that have been polished, but they all have a purpose especially the Crystal Wands. If you browse through my Crystal shop you mayhap will find the Crystal that has been waiting for you their new guardian.
The Pillow Box Crystal Company
Is based on this philosophy. Rather than reading about what energy you will receive from the Crystals, and before trying to attune yourself to that energy, the Pillow Boxes purposely hide the Crystals you buy from view. This then empowers you to use your intuition to sense the energy the Crystals are actually emitting, and allowing you to feel the real benefits of the Crystal's power.
