They work thought resonance and vibration.....  Crystals contain minerals that are known for their therapeutic properties.  They are piezoelectric which means that electricity and sometimes light is produced by compression.  This divine property is harnessed in ultrasound machines which use piezoelectric crystals to produce a sound wave.  We can also use this power to heal our 'whole' selves just by using them and creating intension with them.  They are our friends.    Shamans and crystal healers of old were familiar with this ability of crystals to focus sound and light vibrations into a concentrated ray, which was applied to healing.   Use crystals for healing, energizing or calming.  There are crystals that will both sedate and overactive organ and stimulate a sluggish one and also elevate pain.  Crystals work on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels of being.  They realign subtle energies and dissolve dis-ease, getting to the root cause.  They work through vibration; rebalancing and bio-magnetic sheath that surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body and activating linkage points to the chakras that regulate the body’s vibrational stasis by brining the chakras back into balance, many states of physical and psychological dis-ease can be dissipated.    Crystals have been connected with particular parts of the body and its organs for thousands of years.  Many of the connections com from traditional astrology, both western and eastern traditional Chinese medicine and Indian Ayureveda both over 5000 years old, still use in modern medical prescriptions crystals that appear in formulas in ancient texts.     Group Meditation & Intuitive Development Class Starts again Spring 2010 - 7pm Thurs evenings ($25.00 per session) In our class this week (Session Three) we will be leading off from previous week and working on the feeling of opening the heart chakra for the first few minutes then jumping right into another method of self hypnosis (a visual journey)- How powerful this is!!  You will be guided into a powerful calm state.  Once you know the feel of being in a trance (when you leave here).  You can practice at home daily. This process has a freeing potential and is a goal-oriented approach to self-empowerment.  Self hypnosis uses a formulated goal stated in an affirmation style statement which can be used as a flexible blue-print for any desire that benefits you. It’s an inner quest that focuses on your stated goal and unleashes resources required to achieve it.  Once your resources are unleashed and activated you are on your way to complete success.    This process leads to effectiveness within your life.  There are a few techniques that you will be exposed to and asked to practice over the weeks.  You may alter this process and use a bit of each process to formulate what works best for you.  You will know and feel right and is effective for YOU.      Be hydrated and wear very comfortable clothes...  Yoga Schedule: beginner and intermediate  (all are welcome)  Call in or email Karen to reserve your spot.
