Crystal & Their Meanings
Stone Vibrations 101
When beginning to work with stones and crystals it's important that you *getto know* them.. Stones are used to manipulate, focus, clarify, ECT energy,yes, but always keep in mind that although you do things TO energy withstones, they also have their own so become familiar with their energy.Figure out your stone's personality..A good and simple exercise for this is to simply pick up a stone, crystal,or rock and just look at it for a bit. Notice its size, weight, texture.Does it have any imperfections?Is it cold to the touch?What colours are present?Roll the stone around in your hand and just get a feel for it.. After having one this, you may come to realize that you already feel the stone vibrating if you simply pay attention. Just hold your stone in one hand and become Acquainted with it's energy. This will definitely prove useful as you get deeper into working with your stones.
Stone Vibrations 102
Okay so now you can feel rocks vibrate. What good does that do? Thesevibrations are what heal, clarify, ground (ect...) and do anything else thestone is supposed to do. It's not like the Dr. just tosses you any bottle ofpills and says "Here take these, they'll fix you right up" No! The Dr. knowsexactly what he's asking you to put into your body (..As do you..hopefully!)and how the properties of it will affect you.The same principle applies with stones. You're going to be working withenergy--yours and other peoples. Shouldnt you know what you're doing? <insertramble about irresponsible people who get people to trust them to work onthem but have no effin clue what they're doing> Alright here is a good place to bring up something important. On many sitesyou'll hear that certain stones correspond to certain chakras, ailments,particular uses, ect. Pay attention to this and keep in mind that somepeople do stone correspondences based on colour while others argue that thecolour has nothing to do with that the stone corresponds to and you shouldgo by the stone's vibrations.Personally, I figure they're both right because the stones colours arereflecting of its vibrations.. (**personal thought*...not sure if that'stotally true...*) When it comes to stones where the colours are drasticallydifferent from each other, your only real resource that tells you what thestone corresponds to is its vibrations. (Told you it'd be useful ) This wayyou do with the stone what it "tells" you to do with it. Any person who istruly into things on this.. metaphysical side of life, if you will, willtell you to do what feels right to you. This applies to divination/readings,meditations, rituals, crystals/stones, and pretty much anything else you canthink of. *realizes she strayed a bit from the point and apologizes* Here's the deal. What you find in books and websites are useful, very usefulactually, but only to a degree as it is also very limiting especially seeinghow most leave out how different people respond to various stonesdifferently. A stone you find works fantastically for grounding yourself mayhave a completely different effect on someone else. This is why getting toknow your crystals/stones and how they work with you is vital.Stay Tuned ;)
