Meditating with a crystal

Many people are drawn to crystals and perhaps have a few lying about the house. However, crystals are not just pretty ornaments, they each have specific vibrational energies which can be used for healing purposes by both the beginner and the more experienced.

A simple way to benefit from the healing properties of a crystal is to meditate with it, thereby connecting  through your higher consciousness to the crystal's vibrational frequency.

Meditation

Choose a crystal to meditate with and sit quietly in a comfortable upright position holding your crystal in your lap. Quieten your mind and consciously release any tension that you feel throughout your body.

Visualise a golden ball of light within the earth and take a strand of that light up through the base of your spine and let it rest in your heart centre.  Next, visualise a white ball of light just above your head in your soul centre and allow a strand of that light energy to flow through the crown centre at the top of the head and down into your heart centre. Take a moment to adjust to being connected above and below.

Now focus your mind within your soul centre above the top of your head.  Take this focus to the crystal in your hands and become aware of the vibrational energy of the crystal. Use the creative imagination to allow the crystal to grow in the distance in front of you to the size of a mountain.

A path leads up towards the crystal and as you start to follow it you see a bridge which is made of a beautiful rainbow. This bridge takes you to a door in the side of the crystal mountain. As you go through the door, you step inside the crystal and feel a sense of calm and tranquility. Walking further into the crystal you come across a second door.  As you open it and walk through, you enter a beautiful chamber at the very heart of the crystal. Here you find a comfortable seat and can take a moment to connect to the soul and higher consciousness of the crystal.  In connecting to the consciousness of the crystal, remain open and willing to receive any higher guidance, insight or understanding.

When you feel ready, thank the consciousness of the crystal and start to make your way out of the chamber through the inner door and along to the door in the side of the crystal mountain.  Step out onto the rainbow bridge and cross down to the path on the ground, walking away from the crystal as it shrinks back down behind you to its original size.

Become aware of the crystal back in your hands and the feeling of the earth beneath you. Bring your senses and awareness back into the room and open your eyes when you feel ready.
