Crystal Resonance 2: High Vibrational Healing from the Earth and Beyond: Crystal Resonance, #2

Dedication and Appreciation

––––––––

Devoted to the mystery, I walk the path I have chosen.

In wonder I remain of the perfection in each moment of each experience.

Beloved are the teachers, mentors, and guides who light my path.

Beloved is Gary who continues to choose to walk beside me.

Beloved am I, healed and whole again.

I am my own light.

Gratitude and appreciation to all who participate

in all that I choose to do and all that I choose to be,

and to all who support my quest to continue to know all that I am

as I remain curious and explore this experiential life.

Introduction

––––––––

Fields of wonder are the places God goes walking.

I found them by mistake and I’ve trespassed. ~ Rod McKuen

I was not yet twenty when I first read these haunting words from Rod McKuen’s book, Fields of Wonder. Full of the outward bravado of the teen who thinks she knows it all, and crammed with the inner sadness and confusion of one who secretly finds solace in poems of loss and pain, I reveled in all that was on offer in the city at that time—and I was certainly not looking to walk in fields. These were pretty words that caught my attention, and pretty words that soon dissipated away into the ether.

However, deep inside I knew these lines had touched me in a way that was unfamiliar to me; they seemed to stir a part of me that lay sleeping. The seed was planted. The idea of walking in fields of wonder settled within me and silently remained across the decades, safely tucked away by my soul.

Twenty-something years later, I chose to walk a different path and these words arose back into consciousness to welcome me like an old friend—but there was no mistake and no feeling of trespass. Many years have passed since I began to consciously choose my path, and along the way these lines have resonated meaning and purpose for me in ways unimagined.

Welcome to the second book of the three-book collection of Crystal Resonance. If you feel you have been drawn to this place by mistake, then I invite you to be curious and explore. If you have returned to explore some more after the first book, then welcome back. It is well you have all come.

Those who are new to exploring the synergy of specifically combined gifts from the Earth and Beyond will now enter the fascinating world of potentialities and possibilities. The synergy from specific combinations of high vibrational tools from the Earth will support any decision to thrive: we are strengthened to step up for us; we are grounded and empowered to be all that we choose to be. Have no doubt, each of us is here to thrive.

Crystal Resonance shares a new way for us to connect to All That Is. The synergy of the specific combinations grounds and supports our decision to connect and change. We enjoy enhanced wellness and well-being and a connection previously unknown. We really can change our minds and change our lives. The synergy and resonance of these specific combinations continue to serve me as part of my own daily practice, and continue to serve all those who are drawn to work with me as an energy alchemist and facilitator of wellness and well-being.

Using high vibrational stones and plants from the earth can help us tap into the innate strength of Gaia, to align and attune with the vibrational resonance of the Earth. It is no accident that each of us has a body made up of the very same elements as the earth. Conscious awareness that our physical bodies are ‘of the earth’ can often spark curiosity to explore and appreciate the gifts that support and surround us.

When we match the vibrational resonance of crystal stones and essences with the resonance of specific essential oils and flower essences, and then allow them to dance with the vibrations of Higher Self, Archangels and Spirit, then indeed we are allowing ourselves to open to and receive the abundant gifts from the Earth and Beyond.

The practice is simple: place drops of the essence blend under your tongue; anoint your crystal with the matching essential oil; inhale the healing aroma of the essential oil; and feel grounded and inspired by the synergy of the high vibrational combination while you take a short time-out to integrate the healing balance in the meditation practice. As you go about your day: carry your anointed crystal, inhale drops of healing aroma from a tissue, and pop drops of the essence blend under the tongue ... or before you leave home, whichever works best for you. You will then find yourself in wonder of the reassuring moments of grounded support and enhanced conscious awareness of connection to All That Is whenever you choose to give your attention to the stone or aroma. The magic is in the synergy of the combination.

Snippets of some of my personal experiences, as well as many moments of wonder, are included in the combination descriptions. We are delightfully creative creatures, and sometimes our creations are to our liking, and sometimes they are not. Life can be, and should be, simple—but simple does not always feel easy. We can each create such unnecessary struggle in our efforts to control every possible outcome. Over the years, I became highly skilled in perpetuating struggle and limitation, and I fully and freely own the roles that I have played.

Each of us can be highly talented in thoughts and actions that do not serve us well, and so I share glimpses of personal experiences with various crystal combinations in the hope that moments of awareness might likewise be triggered within you, ah-ha moments, which might encourage you to explore further.

Even with the passing of time, I can still be surprised by these inspired combinations, and so my appreciation of them continues to evolve. I know that the synergy of these gifted tools from the Earth and Beyond will powerfully support any decision you take to change and be however you choose to be, to live in a way that resonates with you—to be you and all that you choose to be. Self-responsibility, self-determination, self-respect, self-value, and self-worth will be encouraged and enhanced—and any fear of change will be eased as you feel inspired to embrace choices that support, nurture, nourish, and sustain you.

I practice holistically in my natural wellness clinic, and all that I have lived, studied and practiced has brought understanding that a vital component of wellness and well-being is the healing and rebalancing that must take place mentally and emotionally. We are gifted so much by Mother Earth and when specific crystals are matched with the highest resonating essential oils and flower essences our natural access to Oneness is powerfully facilitated. Healing on every level is enhanced as the physical and subtle bodies are aligned and attuned. Our bodies are magnificent mechanisms that continually seek homoeostasis on every level; homoeostasis is innate, our natural state of balance.

Some years ago, my appreciation of synergy, curiosity about what is possible, passion for simplicity, and openness to inspiration coalesced to develop these crystal combinations as a healing and self-enhancing lifestyle practice. The result was a practice that could be done at home by clients and a practice that could form the basis of powerful energy sessions to facilitate healing, restore balance, and facilitate awareness of our inherent wellness and well-being.

I have learned that when specific crystals, essential oils, and essences are synergistically combined for optimal resonance frequency, then conscious connection with specific aspects of Divinity is also enhanced. A synergistic combination offers so much more than the sum of its component parts as each component enhances the other. Indeed, are we not all so much more than our component parts?

Resonating with the synergy of these high vibrational combinations and practices facilitates energetic integrity and alchemy for all those who choose to change, choose to embrace being however they choose to be, and dare to be all that they choose to be.

Fourteen of the synergistic combinations are featured, and for each you will learn about the specific crystal, the essential oil, and flower essences with the highest matching resonance to enhance the vibration of all in combination. The heightened vibrational energy of the whole combination facilitates connection with Higher Self, Spirit, and All That Is—and each holds optimal resonance to facilitate conscious connection with specific archangels.

The fourteen crystal combinations included in this second Crystal Resonance book were chosen intuitively ... just as I choose them each morning for my own daily practice. I trust that the selection will serve the highest good for each and all of you as you find combinations that resonate with you. When I reviewed the list of combinations, I was delighted to see a collection of some that facilitate the highest cosmic connection, and some that can be regarded as the earthiest and most grounding. The result is a book full of high vibrational potentiality, integrity, and unity as we connect, Earth to Sky. Perfect.

All crystal stones and essences, plant oils, plant essences, and spiritual beings resonate with each other ... there are no right or wrong combinations when working with the gifts from the Earth and Beyond. However, there are some gifts that combine to produce the highest vibration to heal our entire Being. The synergy of these combinations restores balance to the energy body, opens and warms the heart, and lifts us to a place of Oneness to facilitate vibrational wellness and well-being. We are fully supported by the Earth and the Universe. The synergistic crystal combinations I am sharing consistently offer the highest alignment of resonance. They are combinations that I continue to work with as I facilitate healing for those who are drawn to me—and I remain in wonder of the inevitable healing that unfolds.

This book contains but a taste of the bountiful smorgasbord of gifts that support wellness and well-being. The gifts from the Earth and Spirit are limitless. Indeed, it is my intention that these fourteen crystal synergistic combinations might tempt those who are ready to explore, or expand the knowledge and tool-bag of those who already use crystals, essential oils and flower essences, or enhance the awareness of those who enjoy connection to Spirit. There is something for all, at every level. If an alternate practice feels right for you at this time, then please honor that and continue as you have been personally guided. If you are curious to explore the synergy of these crystal combinations and feel a sense of excitement and anticipation at the wonders on offer, then you are invited to enjoy.

The synergy and transformational resonance of crystals in specific combination continue to expand my wonder of the healing tools we are gifted from the Earth, and I am excited to share them with you. However, nothing in this book is intended to counter or replace those practices that are successfully practiced and embraced by others; I simply offer alternatives—alternatives that have worked wonderfully for me and all who have been drawn to work with me, and alternatives that you may wish to explore or use to extend your current practice.

So please, enjoy those gifts that are available to you and to which you feel drawn, and perhaps among the selection of synergistic combinations you may find a little extra something, another layer, that facilitates your return to balance and alignment, and lights your path to Onenessand vibrational wellness and well-being. Perhaps you, too, will accept an invitation to walk in fields of wonder.

Part One: How It All Works and the Synergy of It All

Understanding the Energy Body

––––––––

Change and movement are basic to life. Change and movement are evident all around us in our external environment and in nature—a visual reminder of the nature of things that has served to teach us since the ancients. Science confirms what the ancients knew: everything, from the ever-expanding Universe to the tiniest particle, is in a constant state of vibration. Change and movement are evident within us, as constant as the flow of the breath and beat of the heart. Everything in our world and the cosmos is energy—and that energy is dynamic, constantly in motion. We are energy. The magnificent mechanism that is the physical body is nourished and sustained by energy coursing ancient pathways within the body, and changing form as required to best process that which it needs to maintain life. Vibration, movement and change are basic to life—without movement, we cannot grow physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually; as we grow, we change; and vibration is basic to both.

Movement and vibration are integral to matter, and to watch the waltz of the atoms is to view the waltz of the solar system, and so the Universe—to see the spinning dance of particles around the atom’s nucleus as a perfect indicator of the broader view is to stand in wonder of the perfection of it all. Planet earth that supports us is in constant change: mountains rise and fall; rivers rise and fall flowing nutrients through to nourish, sustain and facilitate change; oceans ebb and flow with Divine rhythm, evaporate and return as nourishing rain to continue the cycle; the winds of change blow to facilitate movement, transformation and life.

Likewise, in our bodies, the heart pumps life-giving energy for the lungs to rise and fall to take in air, to be inspired by life force, and for the rivers of blood and lymph to circulate nourishment and cleanse away waste to promote life—even at our most still, we are movement. Protons, neutrons, and electrons waltz within and around the nucleus in a unified dance inside every atom—particles vibrate and nano-particles, inside the particles, vibrate. Vibration of the atoms in every cell, of every tissue, of every organ, is at the core of our physical bodies. There is perfection, order, harmony, and balance in the dance.

So, too, is there a harmony of vibration between the physical and the surrounding subtle bodies. The subtle bodies are energetic fields that surround our denser physical body. Names of the fields can differ, and the layers within the fields of each body are numerous, but for simplicity and clarity the subtle bodies are generally categorized as the Etheric, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual bodies. Likewise, there are fields within and around the Earth, which in turn interact with the fields of the individuals that are sustained by it. Our eyes see the denser physical body that is matter, and everything we see visually has layers of subtle bodies.

The outer spiritual body protects our energy body and connects us to the greater Universal body—just like the fine permeable membrane that is found around every cell within the physical body—and the energy transfer is two-way in both cases. There is no separation. Energy constantly flows into, washes through, radiates from, and moves between the bodies—giving and receiving in equal measure.

When we heal the physical without healing the mental and emotional bodies, that disharmony remains in our energy system and illness recurs or presents in another way to remind us that this issue remains unresolved. By working with the synergy of the crystal combinations and practices we aim to finally resolve and heal.

Emotional, mental, and physical healing, together with ongoing wellness and well-being, are always facilitated by cleansing and balancing the subtle bodies. The physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies may be perceived as distinct layers but they are not separate. There is no separation, and the harmonizing energy flow of every layer is integral to the whole. It is now well documented how entrenched negative beliefs and fixed negative perspectives and attitudes can continue to negatively impact our health and support ongoing health conditions.

We live in a world of vibration, separated only by frequency of vibration. The heavy dense energy that is matter, and that which presents as the physical body and medications, vibrates at a different frequency to the subtle matter of essences. Vibrational medicines such as crystal and flower essences, which are vital to the synergy of the crystal combinations, are high-frequency treatments to connect into the high frequency subtle bodies.

The Subtle Bodies and Seven Chakras

Similarly, we have subtle bodies or energy centers within us: the chakras. It is basic to understanding the energy body and energy centers that we regard them as holographic, three-dimensional, surrounding the whole of the body physical. The subtle bodies do not sit flat, adjacent to the body, as they appear in diagrams. The chakras are no different—they radiate or spiral their energy out in all directions from their center. Each center is located inside the body, towards the spine. There are seven major chakras.

The first is the base chakra, centered near the base of the spine. It is our foundation, that place from which the impulses of life arise to flow through the body to the crown. It is our survival, the home of the instinct and potentiality. Our roots and connection to Mother Earth are stored here. The color is red.

Second is the sacral chakra, located towards the base of the spine—on the front of the body, it is about two finger-widths below the navel. This is our creative and emotional center, the traditional space of the Zen Knowing Mind, or Hara. When balanced, there is acceptance for life to flow. Connected to the water element, it centers our creative and emotional flow, our sense of self-worth, self-confidence, and how we perceive and relate to others and circumstances. Orange is the color of the sacral chakra.

Third is the solar plexus chakra, located in the solar plexus. This is the powerhouse, the center of vitality, willpower and self-will. When balanced, we feel balanced and focused; we choose wisely to achieve the results we intend from our innate powerhouse of reserves. The color is yellow.

The fourth chakra is the heart chakra. It allows us to receive all that the heart can give. An open heart is transformational as we are able to resolve conflict with compassion and empathy. This center encompasses the transpersonal heart, opening us to unconditional love, compassion, and understanding. This is at the center of the seven chakras, and one that I refer to as the bridging chakra—bridging and balancing intellectual instincts, intuition and inspiration with survival instincts, feelings, and physical vitality. Green and violet-pink are the colors of the heart chakra.

Fifth is the throat chakra located at the back of the throat. This is the purification and communication center. It is from here that we clearly and respectfully speak our truth and communicate—with others, with ourselves, within our bodies, and between our body, mind, and spirit. The color is blue.

The sixth chakra is the third eye. Located in the mid-brain, behind the eyebrow center, this is our clairvoyant eye, that which sees beyond physical and intellectual knowing—the home of intuition and inspiration, where intellect and Spirit meet and merge, and our center of visualization. This is the ‘control center’ where all merges into one stream of consciousness. It is integral to the harmonious interplay of body, mind, emotion and Spirit. It is said that our eyes are the gateway to the soul—the third eye, through the pineal gland, is the gateway to Spirit. Indigo-purple is the color of this chakra.

Seventh is the crown chakra and relates to our spirituality and connection to our Higher Self and the Divine. It is the chakra of Higher Consciousness. When balanced, it brings awareness of the connection to Oneness. We can just be. The colors are violet, gold or white.

Energy fields vibrate with color and every color has a vibrational frequency. Colored stones can harmonize the body’s energy field and balance the chakras. Archangels, likewise, are seen to vibrate particular halo colors. Matching halo and chakra colors with crystal colors is basic to many successful crystal healing therapies and practices.

Accepting that we live in a world of vibration, that the body physical is vibrating right down to the sub-atomic particles in each atom of each cell, and that likewise the physical body is a vibrational entity surrounded by the vibrational layers of the subtle bodies, protected and connected to all by the external spiritual body, may help you appreciate the possibilities on offer from the synergy of the crystal combinations.

Everything is vibration and all vibrational therapies give us tools to help restore harmony and balance to our whole being. Thoughts are energy yet to be manifested, but they exist as vibrations within us and extend out from us. Negative thoughts and entrenched negative beliefs produce disharmony in the subtle bodies, and discord in the vibrational patterns at a cellular level of the physical body. Such disharmony and discord can manifest as disease if left unaddressed. The synergy of the crystal combinations and practices offers transformational and life-enhancing support to willingly release such entrenched negative patterning.

The choice remains with each of us. The decision to take self-responsibility is always a choice—and some of us choose to accept the support inherent in the vibrational tools from Mother Earth that can powerfully ground us, and empower and uplift us, as we embrace the process of change. We feel strengthened to begin to let go of those negative thoughts, beliefs, and practices that are limiting us being all that we choose to be.

Divine life force, or that which is known as qi or prana in various traditions, flows through the body physical of each of us and supports the physical body
