Awakening with Crystals By Santiago Saavedra

As the crystal world continues to evolve, we are learning more and more each day what working with energy is. With the help of quantum physics, we are learning at a rapid speed how to work with energy. In physics, energy is the quantitative property that is transferred to a body or to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light. Energy is a conserved quantity—the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed. So, as we continue to evolve as electromagnetic beams, we are tuning in to the Consciousness of self. Elevating and rising past the programming that no longer serves us. The journey is not even close to being simple. As most of us have gone through some kind of trauma. That trauma has created a layer of self that blocks the path of enlightenment, keeping our spiritual development at a slow speed. But please don’t fall in panic, creating fear. There is always a solution to every problem. With the help of mother earth and her beautiful creations. We are now equipped with the knowledge and wisdom on how to utilize the tools being given to make this journey a pleasant and enlightened one.  

Some of the tools that can be used throughout this wild journey called life are. Crystals, Meditation, Sound Healing and plant medicine. There is a lot more but for now we will cover those four. 

Crystals have been used throughout multiple civilizations that have been here on earth. It has been commonly known that the ancient Egyptians would use crystals like Laps Lazuli, Turquoise, Carnelian, Emerald and clear quartz as a form of jewelry. Crystals are formed when molecules gather to stabilize then liquid starts to cool and harden. This process is called crystallization and can happen when magma hardens or when water evaporates from a natural mixture too. Most crystals start very small but with time as more atoms join and create a uniform and repetitive pattern, the crystal grows.  

Crystals help us tune in to our intuition. Humans are naturally intuitive, although many of us get caught up in the busyness of our day to day, that we fail to listen to flashes of insight we receive. Crystals can be used to help us with focusing on the guidance we receive from our inner voice (Subconscious mind). Affirmation practice is another wonderful way to work with crystal energy. If you’re struggling with getting your life moving in the right direction, meditation, affirmation, and visualization in conjunction with the use of crystals that can help focus the energy that’s needed, allowing us to obtain the desired change.  

Crystals can also be used to release emotional blockages. When we experience emotional trauma, we tend to create a self-protective emotional blockage that prevents us from moving forward in our lives. By working with the right crystals, you can ease the clearing of those emotions, unblocking your flow of divine energy, giving you the path to moving forward in your life. Cleansing and clearing away negative energy from a space can be done with the help of a crystal like, Black Tourmaline. Removing and clearing out negative thought patterns from people can also be a form of using the crystals energy. Crystals can stimulate creativity and ideas. By strategically placing crystals in your workspace, you can create an energetic environment that enables you to think, and problem solve in a creative manner.  

The role of meditation is a very important one while performing energy work. Meditation helps set intention and it is important in establishing a connection with the energy field. Meditation is commonly known as sitting down clearing your mind and allowing peace to flow. But instead of clearing out our mind of all thoughts, the majority of us end up thinking of a dozen different things. This is very common, and it is one of the main reasons people choose not to meditate. Clearing your mind isn’t always easy. Fortunately, this is not the only way to meditate. There are many types of meditation that can be used to help us connect to spiritual energy, including Breath Work, Mindfulness meditation, mantra chanting, or stating affirmations.

You may be asking, “okay, so how exactly do I need to meditate “? Two examples I can give you for calmness and forgiveness are as follows. 

Meditation for calmness – Sit quietly in a comfortable position, in a place where you are unlikely to be disturbed. Hold an Amethyst crystal in your gently clasped hands, which you place in your lap. Close your eyes and take 10 deep, full breaths, expanding the air fully in your chest and into your stomach. As you breathe, gently relax your muscle group, starting at your head and working your way down your body to your feet. As you inhale, say to yourself,” I Inhale Peace”. As you exhale, say to yourself, “I exhale tension and stress”  

Continue for 15 minutes. 

Meditation for Forgiveness – Sit in a comfortable position, in a place where you are unlikely to be disturbed. Hold a Rose Quartz crystal gently in your hands, and place both hands over the center of your chest at your heart chakra. Close your eyes and breathe gently, noticing your breathing without trying to control it. Focus your attention on your heartbeat as you repeat the following affirmation to self. “I open my heart to and forgiveness.” Visualize the person you are trying to forgive. In your mind’s eye, surround that person in a white light, saying” I surround you in a white light of love and release you into a positive future.” 

There are plenty of different kind of meditations and affirmations but always look for the one that you get the best results from. As you move forward in your journey you will then discover the light within awakening you to your true authentic and divine self.
