Anyone have any info on the use of crystals? What's the deal with it, I don't know anything about it.
That's kind of a loaded yet vague question... maybe you might want to look into something specific in your life and then try to find info on which crystals are appropriate to help you.
the way i startd to learn was to make friends witht he people at the local new age shop and started to ask questions. they are full of info and can point you in the right directiona nd can recomane some good books and websites.
It's all bullshit. how the hell are crystals supposed to be good and microwaves be bad, it don't make any sense (other than people's technophobia). Plenty of forests have been dug up to mine for crystals...
that is the dumbest thing i've ever heard, that's truthiness that is. and it can lead you pretty far astray...
I'm still learning myself, but the basics appear to be: Crystals and stones have particular energy in them. This energy may be helpful to you or harmful. If it's harmful, you don't need it, if it's helpful, use it for a while. This does necessitate, however, an openness to the energy of the crystal. Whether or not this openness and recognization of subtle energies is merely psychological isn't well defined. That's up to you to decide, but it does work. Whether it be mind or not, it appears to be effective. There are particular crystals and stones that are more effective, specific and helpful than others. Amythest helps "third eye" awareness, Garnet helps protection, etc. Some people have violent reactions to crystals and stones. It simply means you're beyond that and can't have another ounce of that energy. For awareness of energy I recommend meditation, reiki, etc. Aside from this I know little more, and am discovering new things about energy every day. As a side note and for a secondary source: I recommend checking out some of Ken Wilber's books. A more scholarly investigative work diving into spirituality and its patterns, possibilities and interestingly enough, "levels." For instance, many different spiritualities believe that there are levels of this world: Matter, mind, soul, and spirit. Or physical, mental, subtle, casual. As the human being evolves and goes through stages of his or her own development, awareness of each 'sphere' or 'wave' of reality becomes more prevalent. One can be highly developed, specialized in particular areas while lacking in others. It's something to think about, and if you're into it read up on it, it's not going to be a disappointment.
i was always sceptic towards the whole thing, then, it just happened, it was as if the stones where lettin me inside there word... i dont know so much about it, but the important thing is, the right stones came to me... YES! its better no to push too much, and to force them to you, let them come to you and be patient. PATIENCE is the key word. and: respect: do not force anything upon you....
