Should we use man made crystals for healing or are naturally formed crystals the only ones that can be used ?. This is something that I get asked quite often and I think that way too much thought is put into this problem.
My answer to this question is simple and maybe even too simple for some, If the energy feel right and you feel guided to use it…Use it !.
Intuition is the key in this situation and we need to learn to trust our inner guidance. You will know when it is right what crystal you will need when the time comes.
All things on this planet have a unique energy and vibration. This includes man made and naturally formed crystals. Some people will even tell you that coated and coloured crystals can not be used as they have been modified by man. I find this statement to be completely false and ungrounded. I believe that if the crystal did not want to be treated in this way it would not accept the colour or coating as is the case with many other crystals. This is also the case with carved crystals as I have mentioned before in my Crystal Skull article.
I believe that because all things have their own energy and vibration, even if we can’t connect with this energy, it is there regardless and can be accessed and used when needed. I have always found naturally formed crystals to have a much higher vibration than man made crystals and this does not mean it is better, it just means it is higher. I find these energies to be useful in raising a clients energy and vibration level when needed. I have also found higher vibration levels in carved crystals…mainly skulls and even in figurines. Especially ones with significant personal meaning to the client.
I have also treated people who benefit greatly from lower vibration levels offered by man made crystals. Some of these are children with ADHD or Hyperactivity disorders and also people who are felling a bit ungrounded. In these cases I will use darker more earth based crystals or man made crystals.
Not all modified crystals have lower vibrational energies however. Check out a piece of Aqua Aura quartz for example and see what you feel.
So to finish off…Please don’t be afraid to use a man made or modified crystal when needed. Trust your intuition and make sure to take a little time to explore these “New” energies and make contact…You just may be surprised what you find. ☺

Crystal Skulls.

Welcome everyone and thank you all for taking the time read this. With this Blog I wanted to get down my thoughts and ideas about Crystal Skulls. Crystal Skulls for some people can be quite off-putting and downright scary for others. By the same token they are very attractive to others and hold wonderful energy and the ability relay messages to us, help with healing not only for ourselves and others and also bring us knowledge from ancient and future times. For me it is the latter. I love connecting with their energies as they are all very different. It wasn’t always this way though. Before my first skull found me (Lava is his name, he seems to like that anyway) I used to be in the first group I mentioned. I always felt a bit put off by them and because of this I missed a lot of benefit in this time, I am making up for it now though. I believe that conditioning is a lot to blame for our dislike and fear of Crystal Skulls. From a very early age we are taught to associate the image of a skull with horror and fear so much so that as soon as we see one we become afraid of it. Add to that our inherent fear off the unknown and there goes our chance to get to know these beautiful energies. I now take care of four skulls in total and also have contact with other great skulls and their caretakers. We often meet up at meditations and get to discuss and exchange ideas with each other about these wonderful skulls and how we can use their energies.
This brings me to the whole reason for this blog. During one of our discussions we got to talking about a program that was recently on T.V. where the MH Skull was the focus of the program and how these skulls had been thoroughly examined and shown that they could only have been carved in what we call modern times. I thought about what this means to me. What does it mean if these skulls are not ancient at all ?, what does it mean that it was carved in the twentieth century ?, what does it mean that this skull was carved by a man?. I came to this conclusion...NOTHING. It does not change a thing for me. I feel the energy in these skulls as I feel energy in other crystals. I believe that if the crystal did not want to be carved in that way it would break but it also lead me to my next thought. I that even the skull may have been carved yesterday the crystal it is carved out of IS ancient, millions of years old in fact and could it be possible that the carving of this crystal in to the form of a skull not only helps us relate more to it (as we all contain one of these things in our head) but I also believe that carving these crystals into the shape of a skull gives them a voice with which to communicate with us easier. The same way in which ancient medicine men communicated with them. People of ancient times were much more adapted to this than we are as they had not been conditioned to fear them as we have and so communicating with a skull that resembles us would be no real stretch and neither should it now.
So to sum things up I believe that Crystal Skulls give the crystals a voice to better communicate their messages to us. I believe that the crystal would not allow itself to be carved this way if it was of no benefit to us and I believe that crystals hold much information for us and have a beautiful energy that we all should get to know...SOON.
