[excholza]

i use two single terminated crystals (pointed at one end) and hold one in my right hand pointing outward and one in my left hand pointing inward.

i had been meditating for a couple of years and feeling that i was not really tapping into anything bigger than my conscious self...the most i could say about my meditation was that it was relaxing and relieved the stress of the day. i was constantly challenged by random thought processes weaving in and out of my contemplation (which seems to be normal for beginners). i read several books on the subject and felt that my technique was ok, but i still had no dramatic results like those i had read about.

when i first tried using crystals, i was not quite prepared for the unusually focused and intense meditation that resulted: surging, pulsating energy accompanied by very clear messages from higher self. it actually almost frightened me because i was not expecting it and wasn't sure i was ready for it. i continue to get good results with the crystals, much more focus...but so far nothing can compare with the first time i used them. whew!

now, i always try to use the crystals whenever possible in my meditation... which means not when meditating on public transportation or by sydney harbor since i try to keep a low profile!

hope this helps. you can pm me for more details or names of books and websites. i'll be happy to share them.

with love and light,
nancy
