Auras Around Crystals

"I realized it was the crystal that had transferred it, and we looked at it and saw the ochre permeating it."

Crystals should be cleansed when they could have taken on any ambient energies which are not entirely positive. Crystals take on that which they interact with, and if they are in a household for a long time, unless they are strongly programmed not to, they will generally take on some of the emotions of the family, so should be cleaned regularly with sea salt in water overnight. Similarly, if they are worn on the body as jewelry, they should be cleaned any time you feel significant negative emotions or they will continue to amplify them. If you wear them into a dubious environment, be sure to clean them afterwards, as they can pick up what is around them. Cleaning the crystals may seem theoretical unless you can actually feel the relief of what a room can feel like once the crystals in it are clean and no longer holding onto and amplifying whatever drama housed itself in the crystals. Patterns of behavior of people in the house may change once the crystals are cleaned, health may improve, moods lift, and things work out more smoothly. If you can see the auras around crystals, the process becomes even less theoretical. They are very strongly there.

Crystals are great to use for massaging the back, lying on a large one and pushing the muscles around the spine into them. They are not only a physical massage tool but a subtle one. However, at some point, the pain of the muscles in the back will transfer into the crystals so strongly that it is best to stop using them until they are cleaned. Once, for example, I massaged my back and kept holding the crystal in my hand and it ended up pushing up against my chest as I slept. The next morning, my aura viewing friend, Carolyn, noticed I had the dirty ochre color (which is normally around the painful area in my upper back) on my hands, and on that spot on my chest. I realized it was the crystal that had transferred it, and we looked at it and saw the ochre permeating it.

I cleansed it immediately, and used another crystal which I use as an auric scraper to clean off my hands and chest. The color came off well, leaving a healing green tone instead. That crystal took on the ochre as well, as every time I use it to cleanse whatever has infected my aura from someone else it takes on that color, and I put it in the salt water with the other one for the rest of the day. I have found that when we take on someone else’s aura color of their illness, it begins to affect us before too long, and if we don’t remove it relatively quickly, it can become intermeshed and start to cause difficulties so that we have to address not only the added colors but the problems which have sunk within ourselves. I love keeping my aura clean and violet or lavender, and make it a practice to notice and remove whatever I take on from other people. We don’t normally auto-infect ourselves with our own colors unless there is a crystal involved, such as in a case like this.

We can also pick up other people’s illnesses or emotional disturbances through crystals, especially if we hold them or use them for long periods after using them for healing others. They do have their dangers. However, I have observed that we can also simply pick up those ugly colors directly by doing healing work, sympathizing with people, being vulnerable to their manipulations, being involved sexually with them in some way, even doing reflexology. And clean crystals which are shaped like scrapers can be our best allies as far as removing the colors that have seeped into our auras as long as we clean them afterwards.

Crystals can also take on beautiful colors from our meditations, programming of crystals, and all expanded states of consciousness. For many, many years, for example, whenever I would go to bed, I would meditate with a crystal in my left, or receiving hand, putting my highest state of lucidity into the crystal. I would then transfer it to my right, or sending hand, and sleep with it there all night, so I would stay lucid all night, keeping the state of bliss and higher awareness. The crystals were violet and glowing and my aura was the same. I have continued to use them and the crystals can take on very noticeable violet colors, which are good for the other people who hold them. My auric viewing friend, Carolyn, has observed these violet colors on my crystals after good meditations with them as well, and it is best not to clean them when they are in such a positive state. The violet can stay on the crystal for a very long time.

Interestingly, I had a crystal on a counter for days, and it was keeping its lovely violet, and I put a bulb of garlic next to it. When I looked later that day, the color had disappeared. I have used sage, burying them in the ground, rosemary leaf rubbings, and willpower to clean crystals, all working easily, but garlic was a new one on me. It certainly adds value to the idea that garlic helps protect us from entities, as it can clear the astral atmosphere directly around it, whether the atmosphere is good or bad.

Crystals seem to have clear auras until they are affected by us, though they do have consciousness of course, themselves. I believe even the crystals are happier when they are clean, or holding positive energy from us. I use filtered water to clean them with, rather than giving them homeopathic doses of all the chemicals and pollution, as well as emotional issues, flushed into the tap water system. I use sea salt which has not been processed, rather than expose the crystals to dead, artificial chemicals with added toxins. I treat the crystals with respect like little beings who are great healers and teachers. I thank them, acknowledge that they came from a homey environment to be helpful to me and those I heal, and I ask them politely to help rather than command them to do so. I have been impressed by how well I can channel healing through a tiny, pointed crystal into a reflexology point for example, and amplify the healing work. However, after going something like this, just remember to clean not only your hands and arms with salt water, but the crystal as well, and you will find yourself healthier and less likely to transfer physical problems from one person to the next.
