Crystal lovers are big-hearted, generous people, and I know several who are happy
to give away precious stuff for free, to someone who is obviously in strong resonance
with a particular stone. It is recognised that the electromagnetic frequency emanating
from the crystal may attract a person who is in need of that particular combination
of vibrational harmonics in healing or in spiritual growth.
I was recently taken on a conscious voyage, while in meditation at a sacred site,
through the labyrinthine tunnels in the cerebral cortex, where I noticed that the
inner lining of the tunnels was made up of bright crystal cones of a vivid yellow
hue. It leads me to conjecture that this is the reason why we respond so strongly
to crystals. Their corresponding transformative effect upon our consciousness is
because our brain tissue, and the entire cellular body structure bears a common
mineral-crystalline imprint, resonating like a tuning fork to the vibrational frequencies
emitted by the stones.
Crystal healing
Dr. Ram Bhosle, who developed his own unique healing system of light-touch vibrational
massage called Samvahan, said:

The body is nothing but rhythm. The universe is nothing but
rhythm. The job of the healer is to harmonise your rhythms with the rhythms of the
universe.
This simple Vedic truth is also the principle behind the use of crystals in healing
and in spiritual growth. The subtle vibrations emitted by the crystals assist in
cultivating balance and harmony of the chakras as well as of the cells in the whole
body, in attunement to beneficial cosmic energies. This results in well-being and
wholeness. Thus, crystals serve to heal the dissonance in the electromagnetic field
of the human body, through their own focused powers that subtly influence energy
systems within their field of influence.
According to Dr. Marcel Vogel, crystal researcher and senior scientist with IBM
for nearly 3 decades,

An interesting revelation which can be made …is the fact that
human beings are, to some extent, living crystals. Certain aspects of the human
energy system have the same transformational properties as natural quartz crystals.
When one uses natural quartz crystals to heal the body, energy transference
occurs partly because of a resonance effect between the quartz crystal and those
cellular crystal systems with quartz-like properties. These same biocrystalline
elements amplify certain aspects of the life-force in special energy circuits that
run throughout the body. Biocrystalline systems are intimately involved with mediating
the input of higher vibrational energies into the body.

I have lived in caves bearing shimmering quartz veins in the Sahyadri Mountain Ranges,
for meditation, sometimes for as long as 15 days in conditions of gale and monsoon
fury. The peace and rejuvenating effect of those sojourns is indescribable and long-lasting.
There are so many fascinating possibilities in work with crystals, tried and tested
in different civilisations in different parts of the world. In the insightful words
of Curtis Lang (Satya Center), New Age writer and healer with long experience of
work with crystals:

Native Americans revere quartz crystals as the braincells of
Grandmother Earth… Quartz crystals, in this worldview, act as the Earth’s brain-mind,
through which Spirit, the Universal Mind, maintains communication with all parts
of Earth’s organism, equilibrating temperature, moisture levels, and other important
variables…. In addition, quartz crystals and other gemstones collectively create
an electromagnetic field around the Earth, which is a vital component of the Earth
organism’s auric field, and clear quartz crystals, identified with white light,
represent the unifying vibrational frequency that harmonizes the seven rainbow rays
of Earth’s many varieties of gems and minerals. Thus any human being who can attune
to the power of the quartz crystal becomes attuned with the aura of Grandmother
Earth, and obtains the ability to communicate directly with Spiritual worlds.

There is much on-going scientific research on the properties of crystals, and it
is well-established now that quartz crystals in particular possess a low voltage
piezo-electric charge. This balances and makes harmonious and uniform, the revolutions
of time-keeping wheels in clocks and watches. Quartz crystals are also being subjected
to experiments using electronic appliances. It is true that placing quartz crystals,
especially amethyst clusters, near television sets or computers and refrigerators
helps in reducing harmful radiation emitted by such equipment.

It is also fun to experiment with crystals in our metaphysical work, to observe
their subtle effects on moods, in healing, in meditation and dreamwork. Many websites
on the Internet provide excellent information on the specific properties of a whole
range of crystals and minerals in healing and spiritual development. But at some
point it is important to stop the cerebral work and to simply put aside the mind
and the static it generates, to tune intuitively into what the crystals are expressing
about themselves! At that, you’ll be surprised to discover the internal dialogue
that ensues. If you note down all the seeming ‘hunches’ that accumulate over a period
of time, you will have a ready primer to work with your own collection.
Grace in transmission
I am now learning, as I write about many different subjects, to set particular stones
on the workstation, on which to rest my eyes, reflect for a second, energise myself,
and go on, all in the course of unconscious pauses from time to time.
