Clear Quartz is the most commonly used crystal in modern times. New age people have realized its value and potential and have made very good use of it. Clear Quartz is available and used in many forms like pendants or bracelets as personal wear or in the faceted ball forms for enhancing some areas of the home/office. Another use of clear quartz is to sculpt it in the form of a Shri Yantra. Ancient Indians considered the 3-dimensional Shri Yantras, hand sculpted out of real Quartz Crystal as a powerful tool to improve their lives.

Modern technology uses clear quartz crystals in radio transmitters and receivers as well as the computers to store and release information in the form of electromagnetic energy.

Reiki healers make use of quartz crystals as a healing device.

For protective uses, this stone is worn by a person as a pendant or used in the house in the form of faceted balls. It is also kept in the temple of their homes in the Shri Yantra form.

A quartz crystal pendant worn around the neck, increases psychism. Using it by placing beneath the pillow offers psychic impulses in the dream-form which is actually the language of the deep conscious mind. It also enhances peaceful sleep.

PROCEDURE FOR PURIFICATION AND
PROGRAMMING OF CRYSTALS

All crystals and stones should be purified and programmed before use. Crystals can record vibrations and before they reach you, they may have passed through the hands of the miners, workers, etc. So please purify and programme them all, before using them. Salt water purification method, the best way to purify them.

The procedure is as follows :

Immerse the crystal in a glass full of water with four spoons of unrefined sea salt (common salt). Use a non-metallic glass for this purpose. Keep the crystal immersed in the salt water for at least one week. After a week remove the-crystal from the salt water and throw away the salt water and then wash the crystal under flowing tap water. After this, keep it on a ceramic saucer and keep it in sunlight for around 2 to 3 hours. Early morning sunlight is better for this purpose. This is the purification procedure. After purification, your crystal is free of old vibrations, and is ready for being programmed with your personal programme. Crystals are programmed using images or thought forms i.e. a picture in the mind. The procedure of programming is as follows :

First decide what you want to achieve mainly from the use of the crystal, and then think of a very appropriate picture which describes clearly, what you desire. For e.g. if you want a promotion, you imagine a picture wherein you are sitting in the seat of the desired new designation, with a plaque describing your new position/rank kept on your office table. Don’t forget to visualize yourself in the picture with a smile on your face. The smile is always desirable because it symbolizes satisfaction and happiness in the new situation. Another example is that if you want to use a crystal ball for the benefit of the full family you can use an image of the full family smiling and happy together with every one in good health and the ladies of the house wearing a lot of expensive jewellery. Such a picture is symbolic of happiness, togetherness, good health and wealth! These are just a few examples to guide you. It is you who must decide what exactly you desire, and then think of a really appropriate picture to use for programming your crystal. The actual procedure for programming is as follows :

After the purification, you must sit peacefully and practise forming a picture of what you desire, in your mind. Practise this till you are easily able to form and retain the image in your mind. This should be a single image, just like a photograph. Once you are ready with the image, get your crystal and keep it in your left palm and cover it with your right palm and then get the practised picture back into your mind, and retain it for about 5-10 seconds. This is the programming. Programming does the function of recording your desire, onto the crystal. It is believed that once programmed, the crystal channelises its powers to achieve the positive goal which has been programmed on it. The above-mentioned procedure for programming is generally what a layman can do easily, but readers who are well-versed in Reiki can go one step further and energise the crystal with Reiki (Positive healing energy). I had mastered Reiki years back from a Reiki Master and have been using it since then for my benefit as well as for ENERGISING all the Feng Shui cures and crystals that I use for my clients. I have had some of my readers telling me that there are some Feng Shui consultants, selling their Feng Shui products and crystals at a very high price, citing the reason, that those have been ‘energized’ by them! I personally do mass energizing for the Feng Shui products and crystals, using Reiki healing energy absolutely at no extra cost. The products available with us are all energised, but we don’t charge exorbitantly just because they are energised. Readers should not get carried away with all these tall claims of energizing because it is nothing very great, but just additional healing energy of Reiki used to make the Feng Shui cures and the crystals a little more effective. In fact a lot of readers who know Reiki themselves, can and should energise the crystals themselves using the Reiki energy. Reiki is universal healing energy. It is God’s gift to mankind and comes absolutely free!

CLEAR QUARTZ PENDANT

The clear Quartz can be worn around a person’s neck in a chain or thread, as a pendant. This helps in gaining more peace and enhances general luck of the person and increases psychism.

It is also said to possess such powers to protect the wearer from bad things and bad happenings. Before wearing any crystal, it must be purified and programmed. You may follow the procedure for the same as described earlier.

CLEAR QUARTZ BRACELET

The clear Quartz can be worn as a bracelet also. The benefits of wearing it this way are similar to the benefits gained by wearing it as a pendent.

CLEAR QUARTZ CRYSTAL BALLS

The South-West area of the house is connected to love, romance and relationships. This area has the earth element. The best way to energise this area is with the use of two genuine quartz crystal balls. The activation of the South-West corner of your bedroom with real crystal balls ensure harmony and happiness in relationships with your loved ones. If this is done in the living room, relationships within the whole family get enhanced.

If you want your daughter to get married, hang two crystal balls in the South-West corner of her bedroom as well as the South-West corner of the full house. Of course, the image used to program the crystal balls in this case, should be in accordance with the end result desired. The ideal image would be to visualize that your daughter is already getting married to a promising young fellow and she is smiling. The smile signifies that she finds happiness in the new bond rather than it being enforced upon her. In the same picture, you should also visualize yourself and your other family members adoring the newly-wed couple with gratifying smiles implying that you all are also happy with the marriage.

CLEAR QUARTZ CRYSTAL
SHRI YANTRA

Symbolic Feng Shui means making use of things that symbolise good luck. Chinese people use a lot of traditional Chinese cultural symbols for good luck. We in India also have our own lucky symbols and articles and we can make use of them for our benefit. The most powerful of Indian symbols is the Shri Yantra. The symbol of Shri Yantra is said to be very useful for acquiring good luck, peace, health and protection, etc. in the house.

The Shri Yantra has been in use for thousands of years in India. The Shri Yantra is symbolic of Goddess Mahalaxmi, the Hindu Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity!

The Shri Yantra in its most powerful form is described by the ancient Indians to be sculpted out of clear Quartz Crystal in a three-dimensional form in the right geometry as described in ancient literature. The Shri Yantra is also made in the two-dimensional form by engraving on a plate made of gold, silver or copper. But the three-dimensional form made out of real quartz crystal is said to be the most potent for bringing good luck and harmony to the house.

Ancient Indian literature describes very detailed procedures for pooja of the Shri Yantra to be performed, but I personally feel that doing a salt water and sunlight purification procedure to cleanse the crystal Shri Yantra and then keeping it in the pooja place of the house and just praying to goddess Mahalaxmi with a clean and pure heart is also sufficient, if you do not know the detailed procedures. There is also no need to do the programming of the Crystal Shri Yantra, only the purification in salt water and sunlight, and then the offering of prayers to Goddess Mahalaxmi, is quite sufficient.

It is important that the Shri Yantra should be made of real and genuine crystal of high clarity only. There are lot of fake crystals available in the market, so please be careful where you get it from. Genuine Crystal Shri Yantras are a little costly because the Crystal used to make them has to be a big, single and very clear piece, and also the Shri Yantra is to be hand sculpted.

It is said that in a house where the Shri Yantra is worshipped every day, there is always abundance of health, wealth and peace!
