A
lot of people have been responding to my article
about energy vampires. Those of you who are
interested in this subject probably realize
that the key is to learn how to protect yourself
psychically, learning how to keep your own
energy field clear and grounded. It's also
helpful to learn how to "detox" when you've
been drained by an energy vampire type.
Bonnie Moss is an intuitive and healer who has written a
simple essay on self-protection which explores this idea
a little further. The only part I disagree with is where
she talks about how you can "program" a crystal to serve
as a healing tool. She's right in the sense that you CAN
program a crystal. But, for the devic energies associated
with that crystal, it's a bit like you coming in and laying
down martial law and DEMANDING that the crystal help you.
How to Connect with a Crystal
I much prefer to lovingly connect with the devic energies
of the crystal or stone first and ask if she/he/it would
be willing or able to help me. I'll state my intent,
like, "I'd like to clear this room out of any unwanted,
lower vibrational, etheric energies. Can you help me
with this? Does this feel like a task you'd enjoy?" That
sort of thing. Almost always, the crystals will say "Yes," because
the devic energies work very hard at helping healer types.
We're all part of a larger "mission" to try to ground
healing forces onto the planet. So the devas love to
help.
When a crystal is hesitant to help, it usually means that
the crystal itself needs some healing. Many crystals are
sold in New Age stores which can have very mixed vibrations,
depending on the owner, the customers, etc. And just the
fact that crystals have traveled thousands of miles before
they end up on our doorstep means that they often need a
period to clear out and to heal from their journey. I mean,
if you'd just traveled from South Africa to California, wouldn't
you need to take some time to catch your breath?
Where Has That Crystal Been, and
What Has It Been Up To?
Another factor to consider: You never know where a crystal
has been or who was using it before. This is why when
you get a crystal, you should attune yourself to it and
do some discerning. Some crystals were brutalized in
ancient Atlantis and were forced to do many evil things.
You can tell when a crystal has been warped in this way,
because its energies will feel denser, somewhat muddy,
and you will sense that the crystal isn't happy. Sometimes,
entities will have been planted in the crystal, lower
elemental or even demonic or discarnate forms. So if
you tune in to a crystal, sometimes these entities will
try to talk to you, and you have to stand strong in your
faith and your spiritual power to exorcise these lower
vibrations and to send them off to the Light.
I
find that giving the crystal a strong blast
of electric violet energy, directed out from
my palms, does the trick. Electric violet
is a deep violet color with lots of divine
gold sparkling around within the color. It's
one of the most powerful color vibrations
for all forms of exorcism, whether you want
to clear out negative emotions or negative
entities. The bad guys can't stand the stuff!
When I have received a crystal that is damaged in this way,
I will clear it out and usually put it outdoors for several
months to give it a chance to heal. Sometimes I'll keep it
inside and soak it in water and sea salt, which always acts
as a healing balm for the crystal. And sometimes I will be
guided to return the crystal back to nature in some remote
place. I always try to respect the wishes of the deva inside
the crystal.
Devas Are Good Guys
By
the way, a deva is NOT a demon. Think of a
deva as the guardian angel, an energy being,
who watches over a crystal or stone. Just
as we humans have a guardian angel who watches
over us, so do crystals have devas. So when
you connect with the deva, you are tuning
into the "Higher Self" of that crystal, harmonizing
yourself with its spiritual energy. This is
the only way to work, in my opinion. Ordering
a crystal around like a dumb object is inappropriate,
because crystals have consciousness. (Everything
has consciousness, but that's another story!)
So when you get a crystal, it's important to build a relationship
with it. Just as you would never expect a complete stranger
to drop everything and suddenly help you, so is it unrealistic
to expect a crystal you've never meditated with to suddenly
assist you with your work.
As we learn to express greater respect, friendship, and love
for all forms of creation, we'll find ourselves harmonizing
more with the devas, the mineral kingdom, the plant kingdom,
and the animal kingdom. But it does take sincere effort!
It doesn't always happen overnight.
Now, back to Bonnie's article, which is very nice. Have a
