ABSTRACT: This article is an introduction
to the Crystal Companions course. It describes how unique energy
fields are generated when specific groups of minerals are combined.
In particular, the course utilizes five specific mineral collectives
to accelerate evolutionary development. Instructions on how to
create environmental grids and body layouts with mineral collectives
are included.
 The
minerals assisting you on your evolutionary journey work together
in five separate units. Each group of minerals radiates a collective
energy generating a frequency field uniquely designed to assist
you in overcoming specific challenges to your evolutionary development.
The frequency signature of the whole collective is as important
as the electromagnetic energy being radiated by each specimen
of which the unit is composed. Minerals differ from rocks in that
they exhibit homogeneous physical properties including chemical
composition, crystalline structure, specific gravity and optical
properties. These criteria are the markers that identify garnets,
diamonds, opals and sapphires as such and set them apart all over
the planet, even when they appear in different colors and forms.
Because of their unique personalities, the bonds that minerals
make can be likened to the friendships that form between people.
We are attracted to those who can assist us and repelled from
those of whom no service would be rendered. Likewise, the minerals
of each crystal series form long-lasting bonds with each other
and to you for as long as they remain in your service. As in any
relationship, the more you know about with whom you are working,
the more productive the experience. In order to get comfortable
with your crystal companions, the following information is offered.
Minerals are composed of elements, thebasic
building blocks of all structures. Elements include carbon, oxygen,
silicon, calcium, iron and all those listed in the Periodic Table.
Because minerals are homogeneous in elemental composition, each
radiates a specific energy signature. If you compare our crystal
sets to a package of crayons, each mineral represents a specific
color that can stand on its own merit. When you mix the colors
of the crayons on paper, new colors emerge. When the energies
of these minerals join each other, a collective frequency emerges
that assists in the evolution of humanity and the planet.
When viewing a painting, the colors blend and dance in a new creation,
yet on their own they retain their individual integrity. When
you focus your attention on a painting, you can actually feel
yourself being affected by the energy of the colors you are experiencing.
Because minerals radiate energy frequencies, their energies penetrate
everything in their environment. You are being touched by the
vibrational frequencies of the minerals in your presence and on
your body. The frequencies emanated by the specific mineral combinations
of this process create expanded energy fields that allow your
physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies to align with
the creative higher dimensional forces at work in your life and
on our world.
The word crystal speaks to the internal structure of
a mineral. Crystalline structure emerges from specific internal
arrangements of the atoms of which they are composed. The external
expression of this arrangement allows the mineral to be identified
as expressing through one of seven major crystal lattices or systems.
While the elements radiate the frequencies the mineral emanates,
the crystalline structure determines the way in which the emanations
of the mineral travel and the way they look. Since the energies
of the elements are being directed to move through specific internal
atomic arrangements, vibrational frequencies will flow according
to the geometric parameters established by the internal structure
of the mineral. The geometric systems include the cubic, hexagonal,
trigonal, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic and triclinic systems.
The angles of these crystal systems remain the same but they can
have very different physical appearances. |
Calcite appears
in many colors and is noted for its configuration as a perfect
rhombohedron. Yet, it also appears in what is known as a dog tooth
formation and is often found with other minerals. Not every face or part of the
mineral will radiate the same amount of energy from it. Frequencies travel through the geometric structures of a particular
mineral specimen. Depending upon how this particular mineral specimen
was formed, its faces will appear in distinctive positions. The
way in which a particular mineral presents itself, with its own
structural makeup and outer appearance will determine the personality
of the mineral. This will also determine what direction that specimen
is to be placed for transmission of its energies into a room.
It will also determine how that mineral is to be used on the body,
if at all. For example pyrite appears as cubes but it also forms
in a plate-like shape known as a sun. In its sun
form, it relieves pain when placed on the body. In its cubic formation,
it is excellent in anchoring energy into the entire body or environment.
The crystal systems remain consistent in organic material as well
as inorganic material. Our physical bodies contain the crystalline
structures of the mineral kingdom. As we work with the geometric
structures of minerals, we learn how to geometrically move energy
through the crystallinematrixes
located inside of us. Because the human form embodies the higher
evolution of the elements into organic life we can utilize the
gifts of the mineral kingdom to further evolve within and beyond
our bodies into the regions of the Soul. In learning how to flow
with the energies emanated by the crystalline mineral systems,
we can facilitate the acceleration or a deceleration of the energetic
movements within us. Each series uses a combination of minerals
from differing crystal systems to stimulate growth, release impediments
and stabilize
one’s progress.
A mineral’s ability to reflect and
refract light assists us in being able to reflect and refract
the Light of God through our four lower bodies. The transparency
or translucency of a mineral addresses the clarity of the frequencies
it generates. Some minerals are opaque and there is a continuum
of translucency that minerals reflect.The
more transparent, the higher the frequency. The more translucent
the lower the frequency. As we work to become transparent generators
of the love and wisdom of the Universal Mind, the
minerals included in these collectives assist us in clearing out
the debris that impedes our own brilliance. It is important to
mention that on the spiritual path multiple frequencies are required
for healing and regeneration such that no mineral should be judged
as less than another. Sometimes the lower frequencies of a translucent
crystal are precisely what is needed to remove a negative thought
or energize a weak physical organ. You need to feel connected
to the mineral that you are using at every step in your evolutionary
journey. Just as you cannot judge a book by its cover, don’t
judge a stone until you have learned about and worked
with it.
Throughout this course the collectives will be placed in grids of sand for
the environment and in layouts on the body. Sand becomes a medium
through which the personalities of each specimen are free to express
themselves. The environment supports the proper positioning of
each mineral necessary for an effective grid. You cannot stand
a crystal point with a rough bottom on a tabletop. You need the
support of the stand to keep the mineral upright. Additionally,
certain minerals will have to be placed with a particular face
up into the room or facing a specific direction to allow their
frequencies to flow. Sand provides flexibility and stability in
placement.

When the energy fields generated by the collectives are united
with sacred geometrical configurations, their power
increases.Sacred geometry transmits the consciousness of the Universal
Mind through form. Geometry constructs forms within and out of
empty space. It defines a shape such as a rectangle and gives
the manifest shape a purpose. For example most of the houses we
live in are constructed out of rectangles. By utilizing
the shapes defined by sacred geometry, the emanations of the collectives are specifically focused and
delivered uniquely within the body or around a room.
Triangular formations will facilitate downloading of higher frequencies.
Rectangular or square formations will ground and stabilize wild
or erratic energies. Circular formations promote connection and
feelings of wholeness. Straight lines will accelerate processing
while wavy lines will disperse energies moving too quickly.
It is important to balance every layout and grid because a balanced
mineral collective will increase your own sense of balance. Do
not place all your stones in one area of the body and spread them
around the container you are using for a grid. Watch how you lay
each specimen in the sand or on the body to make sure that its
energies are free to radiate. If you place a mineral in the wrong
position, you can literally block its energy from flowing. Think
of this like turning off a light switch. When the electricity
stops flowing, the room gets dark. When you turn off a crystal,
you won’t feel its emanations.
 Pay attention to symmetry in your layouts to increase flow. We were
created with two eyes, hands, legs, ears and feet in symmetry.
Cooperation and coordination are the hallmarks of excellent physical
and spiritual functioning. Your crystal companions will help you
attain these within your own field and in your environments. These
are simply guidelines to
get you started in placing your crystal companions in grids and
layouts. Pay attention to your own intuition and listen to your
minerals. They will often tell you where they can best be utilized
if you are willing to listen. As you advance in your evolutionary
journey, the placements of the minerals will change accordingly.
They will reflect your progress and assist your in journeying
to the next level.
During
this process you will learn to intuit, recognize and work with
the elemental nature, inner crystalline structure, optical quality
and personalities of the minerals you choose to assist you on
the spiritual path. As a guideline, choose minerals that you feel
drawn to, that feel good in your hand and are pleasing to your
eyes. Do not worry about what anyone else says about your selections.
If your minerals feel like a good match for you, honor this. Additionally,
choose crystals that are roughly the same size so that their vibrational
frequencies are balanced. You do not want to mix a hematite the
size of a baseball with a citrine the size of your fingernail.
The crystalline energies of each mineral need to complement each
other. If you find a larger crystal specimen with which you simply
cannot part, you can always get a number of little crystals of
the other minerals of the series to balance the set. Before using
the minerals, wash them in salt water. The only exception is halite
which will melt in water. Also be careful using water with celestite
as its matrix or host rock will break down with repeated washings.
You can also cleanse your crystal companions with high quality
sage or place them in beds of salt in which to rest. Because they
are now going to work for and with you, you want the energy of
those who have previously touched them to be released so that
your minerals can focus on you. Thank your crystal companions
for coming to your assistance. The will assist you by acting as
conscious tools for your transformation into greater harmony,
love and peace.
