All quartz crystals and gemstones will respond to the 'intent' of your own personal will; whether in word or in thought.

By simply wishing - or visualizing - the crystalline energy to be used in a particular way - it will be! It really is that simple.......

Quartz crystals are usually 'programmed' for the following purposes:

a) Meditation b) Healing c) Absent Healing d) Manifesting

Meditation

Throughout the world - every day of the week, every minute of every day - countless thousands of people practice their own form of meditation. Each person finds solace and comfort in their own particular way.....

By holding a quartz crystal in your hand whilst participating in whichever type of meditation is appropriate to your own individual needs, you will enhance and enrich the spiritual depths of your own meditative experience.

The quartz crystal enables you to undertake a new and wondrous journey within the inner recesses of your soul. Unknown pathways, hitherto previously uncharted, will open up in front of you.

A new dimension of self-expression will rise to the surface and expand your inner consciousness and awareness.

The amethyst, of course, is well known for being able to relieve mental and physical stress and tension. It is the stone containing inner peace and tranquility; the stone of sublime relaxation.

Every member of your meditation circle or group should have their very own piece of quartz crystal to hold throughout the meditation session. As time passes, perhaps very slowly at first,each person will gradually become aware that their breathing has become far deeper and far more rhythmical and they have now entered a completely new world of inner peace and harmony.

All meditation rooms would greatly benefit from having large quartz crystals placed at all four corners of the room with their single-terminated points directed towards the center of the room. The crystals should be placed either on the floor or affixed to the corners of the ceiling.

Each of the four quartz crystals in the meditation room should be 'programmed' to project gentle, loving, relaxing, crystalline energy towards all those present within the Meditation group. The quartz crystals will then generate a field of positive crystalline energy surrounding everyone in the room.

In addition to every member of the meditation group holding their own individual quartz crystal, a large quartz crystal cluster may be placed in the middle of the group. This large cluster should then be 'programmed' to release beautiful cosmic crystalline energies into every corner of the room.

It is very important that one member of the meditation group should be nominated to look after the group's quartz crystal cluster - and to make absolutely certain that it is properly 'cleansed', 'dedicated' and 'programmed'.

Whilst holding your crystal when meditating with music you will often discover that some quite amazing effects are being produced. On some occasions you might even be able to 'see' the music in terms of color and shape. Even should you be just listening to a piece of music whilst holding your stone - and not even consciously trying to meditate -you will find the depth of experience greatly enriched by the presence of your crystal or amethyst.

Whenever harmonious music is being played in the presence of your crystal , the mood and thoughts of the composer become deeply embedded within the very heart of the crystal and if you 'listen' to the crystal afterwards, with your inner ear, you will often be able to pick up the esoteric meaning of the music itself.

You may use your crystal in so very many ways when meditating. Do not be afraid to experiment and try new methods. Listen to what your crystal is saying and try to respond accordingly. You will find the results truly amazing and very worth while.
