STONES & CRYSTALS Crystals have been important power objects in every part of the world in which they are found. Crystals contain the electrical energy that can be tapped into for communication, healing, expressing love, and preparing us for success in work or life. Even without conscious knowledge of stones, each of us is still attracted to certain gems, because we subconsciously know that they meet some personal or spiritual need. The energies of the mineral kingdom are "universal energies". Hence, when we contact and are willing to receive this energy, and begin to exercise personal creativity via exercise of the Higher Will, we can contact and synthesize the energies from which the entire universe is comprised. This is the reason that crystals and other minerals are so very powerful and also why their powers must only be used through the highest consciousness of the individual. The individual universal energies contained within each mineralogical structure is activated and directed by interaction and/or contact with the same. Right intention during use of the mineral further stimulates the melding of ones personal energy with that of the mineral kingdom, furthering the propagation of the light, the love, and "the good of all". Acquiring Crystals "Finding" crystals or being open to crystals "finding" you are the techniques for obtaining crystals. You can acquire crystals by actually unearthing them, by buying them, and/or receiving them as gifts. The "First Impression" Method To "find" your crystal in a shop: Stand in front of a group of crystals. Close your eyes and relax. Open your eyes quickly and pick up the first crystal you see. If you are drawn to a certain crystal, it could be that the crystal has "found" you and wants to be with you [at least for the present]. The crystal could be for someone else [even someone you have not yet met], and you can help that person have the crystal by buying it and by remain it's Earth-keeper until the right time occurs and it may be presented to the "right person". Upon receiving a "new" crystal, a dedication is recommended. This may be accomplished by holding the crystal while consciously willing that the crystal be used only in love, in light, and for the good of all.
