How do we protect our Aura with Crystals?

Our aura is an extension of us. We exude a strong and powerful radiance when it is strong and when damaged or weak, we have low energy levels, feel drained and disconnected.

Whenever we are around people, we are being exposed to their subtle energies and they to ours. If these energies are not positive, the negative thoughts and emotions can affect us and be harmful to our mental, emotional, spiritual and even physical bodies, which are all contained in our aura.

Using crystals can be a great way to protect our aura, energy and space.

Labradorite creates a force field throughout our aura, strengthening the energies within and shielding it from attempts to tap into or drain it. This prevents any loss of energy. Smoky Quartz grounds energy and removes negative energy from the aura while Peridot purifies the aura. Amethyst heals punctures in the aura, cleanses it and draws in positive energy to protect the aura while Citrine cleanses and aligns the aura.

Healing with Crystals

The human energy system is said to be controlled by the 7 major chakras. It integrates the natural equilibrium into many layers that make up the self – the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Chakra healing is based on the belief that in order for total well-being to take place, we must act as an integrated whole.

Liz Simpson noted that Chakras are vortices of energy through which the Universal Life force is channeled and transmitted. They resonate at different frequencies similar to crystals. All crystals oscillate to a natural healing frequency that is activated by the mind. Crystals are therefore compatible tools to balance and harmonize our chakras. They can help you tap into your natural self- healing abilities promoting optimum physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

When choosing your crystals, use your intuition and pick one that you are instantly attracted to. If your crystal in not soluble, hold it under running water for a few minutes then place it under the sun or inside an amethyst geode to energize and charge it. You can also use a salt bath or simply smudge it with sage or palo-santo wood stick. Programme your crystal by sending your intention of purpose. This can be done by holding the crystal in your hand and affirm your purpose. Say “I intend this crystal to be an effective tool for healing/meditation for…”. Your crystal is now ready to be used. Cleanse your crystals again after using.

Magic of Fossils

Fossilization takes millions of years. Only a very small percentage of all living things are fossilized. Just the right combination of heat and pressure created this geological phenomenon. Fossils have been buried for millions of years absorbing a substantial amount of both the Earth’s and the universe’s cosmic energy.

Fossil Stones were once thought to be stony casts of ancient times that were once grown in the earth from seeds descendant from the realms of the stars.

The esoteric properties of such fossils and fossil stones include promoting quality and excellence, assist one in manifesting ones accomplishments, creating structures and aid one to open to changes and new ideas. When the stone is placed in the home, it promotes a happy family.

It is also known to promote the flow of “Qi” throughout the body, enhancing one’s well-being and reducing the body’s toxicity. Thus in healing, such fossils can be used to assist with curing diseases and aliments of the skeletal system, bones, hands and feet. It is also known to stimulate the thymus gland.

Fossils are also helpful in keeping one grounded, aiding in stability and physically stamina. Fossils have a very calming and soothing energy that helps to release stress, promote tranquillity, contentment and comfort. Healers use fossils to enhance telepathy and stimulate the mind.

Astrologically Fossil Stones are connected with the zodiac sun sign of Virgo.

Energy Medicine

Holistic healing includes natural, alternative and integrative medicines. It consists of many collections of theories and practices from the past till the present. Holistic medicine nurtures the body, mind and soul. These techniques can include the use of natural herbs, nutrition, massage and the use of energy fields.

Energy medicine uses energy fields from natural crystals to balance the vibrational fields of the body. It harmonizes the human body by vibrating at a specific frequency to find balance and thus create harmony for the body, mind and soul.

Crystal therapy is a form of vibrational medicine. It involves the application of crystals and gemstones to facilitate healing. Crystals have been found to carry vibration that activates energy gateways within our electromagnetic system, thus having a positive effect on the entire body. Crystals can be carried or worn on the person or placed in a location where healing vibrations can be felt. As our bodies are natural healing machines, it will pick up the vibration of the crystals. Every crystal has its own specific frequency of vibration or oscillation with an organ because of the natural resonance within the human body. The inherent vibration of the crystal is thus capable of removing “blockages” and repairing any damage in the human body.

New Age FSG’s Chakra kit consists of seven healing crystals used for balancing and healing of the Chakra energy system. Chakras are energy vortices that exist within the etheric body and transmit life force energy to the body. Each Chakra governs specific bodily functions of the organs in the body. Charkra stones have specific vibration and colour that creates a healing action in individual chakras.

The chart below has seven chakras listed; these are the major chakras within the body and the crystals used to stimulate and balance them. Certain crystals can be used to heal more than one chakra.

Chakra	Colour	Crystals	Gland
Crown	Violet / White	Clear Quartz, Rutilated Quartz, Magnesite	Pineal
Third Eye	Purple	Amethyst, Turquoise, Picture Jasper	Pituitary
Throat	Blue	Kyanite, Blue Lace Agate, Lapis Lazuli	Thyroid
Heart	Green / Pink	Aventurine, Rose Quartz, Rhodochrosite	Thymus
Solar Plexus	Yellow	Citrine, Sunstone, Bloodstone	Pancreas
Sacral	Orange	Carnelian, Moonstone, Garnet	Gonads
Base	Red / Black	Black Tourmaline, Obsidian, Tiger Eye	Adrenal

Alternatively, wearing the New Age Chakra pendant will also have the same effect. Using only the finest crystals set in sterling silver and following the swivel shape of the auspicious Ammonite, represents the transmutation of luck in the Feng Shui Period 8.

For centuries, pendulums have been used as a way of divination. The pendulum can be programmed to help make difficult decisions. When combined with the Chakra stones, it can help to balance a particular organ’s vibration or help with the healing of an illness. You can also program your pendulum to give you answers regarding a health problem. New Age FSG Chakra pendulum is made of seven crystals with an unpolished clear quartz pointer to help you attain healing answers to your health and thus improve your well being.

Chakra

Chakras are the driving force of our inner energy system, made up of seven main energy centres controlling different parts of the body, mind and energy channels. The chakras are concentrations of spinning energy and are located in an area of the body where there is a large concentration of nerve endings. Each major chakra influences the health of a particular area of the body, as well as the colour, emotions and thoughts connected to it. As chakras penetrate the body energetically rather than physically, it is recommended that you use energy stones such as a crystal to stimulate the chakra.

Aura

The aura is a protective electromagnetic sheath that surrounds the body. Within it are hundreds of tiny energy lines, called nadis, which transmit energy around the aura. Our aura consists of seven layers and each in turn is related to and is the same colour as one of the main seven chakras. The densest layer, which is the etheric body, is closest to our physical body and vibrates at the lowest frequency. Beyond this lie the emotional body and the mental body. The astral layer, the etheric template, the celestial body and the ketheric template are the four outer layers that vibrate at higher frequencies. Each of these auric layer is linked with a specific body organ and functions. Keeping your aura healthy will also keep your body healthy. A weak auric field makes you more susceptible to outside influence. Negative thoughts and feelings can be trapped in the aura and eventually create a ‘dis-ease’ which transmute to diseases. This means that illnesses normally developed in the aura and are eventually transferred into the physical body. It is therefore important to be aware of our thoughts and emotions as it will affect our health.

Crystals are valuable tools for healing. Since ancient times, humans have used crystals for healing. The energies of natural crystals are easily absorbed and transformed by the body so aura crystals can be used for empowerment or protection of the energy field as well as to cleanse the aura of any negativity or geopathic stress from our environment. Crystals come from deep within the earth and are repositories of concentrated energies. One good way is to ‘comb out’ the stagnant energy that is trapped in your aura. You can use a single terminated clear quartz, and run it through your aura close to your body but not touching it. The pointed end facing your body. Alternatively, you can carry a Citrine crystal. The electrical energy inherent within the crystal will amplify and strengthen the auric field. In this way, you will not be affected by any outside influences. As Amber is a natural antibiotic and a mental healer, this versatile stone can also heal holistically. Known as an ancient protector, it aligns the aura with the physical body, mind and spirit. It draws off energy and cleanses the aura. Other stones like tourmaline can also provide a psychic shield while Smoky quartz grounds energy and dissolves negative patterns encased in the aura.

Other methods include energy breathing techniques, the vortex cleansing and chanting mantras to increase your aura. All these will be discussed in my next article.
