General
information on crystals: - The
word crystal stems from the Greek language and stands for 'ice'.
It was the
belief that such a stone was only water frozen into this solid form, now beyond
melting. This early idea was kept alive as late as the 18th century.
Even then some scientists maintained clear rock crystal being fossilized ice!
- Precious
stones have been on the trading markets of the word
for more than 5000 years
now.
- The
New Millenium has shown an increasing interest in Spirituality.
With this
the interest in crystals, gem stones, precious stones and also particularily
the stones' meanings or rather their usages and more precisely their
energy and powers, has grown essentially as well.
- Using
the power and energies of crystals
can be a way for empowerment in your personal
lives.
- Don't
miss out!
Empower yourselves now!

for Chakra healing/clearing: - Chakra
has a Sanskrit orign and its meaning is 'wheel'.
- There
are 7 primary chakra points in our bodies.

vertical line, also called spriritual energy channel, which runs from
the top or our heads down to the bottom of our spine. - The

| How
to store & keep crystals: - Usually
crystals don't require more than a bit of dusting.
- To
charge a crystal with some talismanic energy
it helps to carry the stone on
or with you, when you engage in the activity for which it was bought.
- It
will be your personal choice whether to display crystals
in a bowl, in a jewellery
box or keep them constantly with you either as jewellery on you or in
a silk pouch, for you to take out and handle whenever required, to use their
energy.
How
to purify crystals used as talismans: - Crystals
are believed to store certain healing energy.
- But
they also soak up energy from their environment
and this energy might be negative
one. - Therefore
it's a good idea to purify your crystals.
- You
can use Air, Earth, Fire or Water
for this purification process.
- By
creating your own 'cleansing stones',
you will have your own in-house cure
for this task. - Simply
scatter around any stone that needs purifying.
