How do they work?

Some of the most common questions asked are:"How do crystals and gemstones produce results? How do they actually work ? Can a lump of rock really impact on my problems ?"

There are in fact various explanations and ways of answering these questions, and it often gets complicated. For this reason we have tried to simplify and summarise the vast amounts of data and test results - to form a concise picture.

We stand at the gateway of staggering new advances in science with the discovery of SCALAR electro-magnetic wave technology. These fascinating EM waves belong to the gravitational force arena and are multidimensional. They are also capable of time transition and exhibit dimensional shift characteristics, all of which are still being studied at the present time (mostly in secret).

This discovery (or rather rediscovery) will no doubt lead to exciting and as yet unimaginable, scientific advances, which will catapult us ( as the human race ) into a whole new dimension of reality. It is through this branch of science that we will be able to cast more light on the potential capabilities of minerals, gems and crystals. Their ability to influence and even alter energy flux states, at subtle levels of energy not understood previously, is compatible and indeed vital to the human being's energy spectrum.

We say rediscovery, because being aware of the presence of electromagnetic fields and gravitational forces is not anything new. Even though we may not have understood the hard science behind it, these energies have been observed and used for millennia ! In ancient Chinese cultures, for instance, the flow of energy (Chi) was accepted as an integral part of man's fortunes for physical health, emotional stability and general "luck". This was incorporated in the art of Feng Shui. These people knew to face their houses south, and their feet south when sleeping -- and incorporating the force fields of wind and water -- to help them virtually assure beneficial states and good fortune. Now by understanding these energies in conjunction with our body's natural energy states, and by using this knowledge creates advantages on a real and noticeable scale.

As man continues to change his environment - rather than adapt and live within it - he creates distortions and disturbances in the natural electromagnetic forces which in turn affect all biological energy by deforming their normal vortex polarities. While we may not be able to influence the way the human species is developing and thereby affect their surroundings, it is possible, desirable - and indeed strongly advisable - to re-balance (as far as possible) these negative influences so as to harmonise the subtle scalar energy balances within our physical bodies.

Firstly we must understand that gems and crystals are not mere lumps of dead rock. In addition we should know that our bodies have approximately 4% to 5% mineral content and this controls more than 93% of the body's bio-functioning. Each of the essential minerals has a specific frequency rating.

We know that our minds (or thoughts) can (and do) affect our body's functioning, but the actual mechanics of that process is still generally not understood clearly.

This is what happens: The minerals in our system are incorporated into the brain's synaptic process (acting like micro-crystals at specific frequencies ) and as they are focused and co-ordinated the brain activity amplifies its energies and sends these out into the body as electromagnetic messages. This produces appropriate responses from our electrochemical system amongst others, the endocrine system (which secrets the desired hormones), and produces the bio-functions which are required by that specific thought process.

We have several subtle energy centres (acting as SCALAR resonant centres), associated with each gland (we have six primary centres and one " main switch"). In days gone by, these scalar centres have been called CHAKRAS. Energy pattern and flow - for example was and still is, referred to as Chi (Ki, Prana) in Eastern / Oriental cultures; Bioplasma or etheric energy in Western cultures.

Minerals and especially crystalline structures have amongst others, peizo- and pyro-electrical properties as well, generally in steady frequencies. Peizo-electrical properties are exhibited when a crystal is subjected to pressure, and as a result they develop an electric charge. If the pressure is constant, the electrical charge is also constant. The pyro-electric property means that crystals develop an electric charge on the surface when subjected to heat.

The purer the gem or crystal the more specific and constant the vibrational energy. Quartz crystals in particular exhibit a high, constant, controlled and reliable energy frequency, thus enabling them to interact with another, (possibly fluctuating), frequency source, when they come into contact with it. By aligning these depleted/unbalanced energies with their own perfect constant frequency, they can influence (and steady) the unbalanced or fluctuating frequency. When gems and crystals use their penetrating, resonance energy to balance a distorted energy field, that surrounds a person (who is ill, or suffering disease) and an improvement is observed - this can be translated as healing. The law of resonance states that when a higher frequency meets a lower frequency, the result is always a movement from the lower towards the higher frequency. In other words, when gems and crystals have been used for healing or balancing, the frequency of the energy field around the person who was treated invariably resonates at a higher frequency than before treatment began.

This has been demonstrated in numerous experiments using Kirlian photographic techniques to show the effects of altered stimulation in visible format. Kirlian photography shows visible proof of variations in the bioplasma levels naturally emanating from a living subject. These pictures can then be analysed and translated into diagnostics for disease or illness (verifiable by normal physical medical examination).

This method can record the characteristic brightness, colour and energy emanation (size) on a film. It is sensitive to the physical, mental and emotional state of the subject. Extensive research (ongoing with ever more accurate and sensitive devices) has shown, for example -- that emotional stimulation produces red and white bursts on the film -- while deep relaxation produces a blue and white enlarged "aura".

Note the vibrational frequency shift! If the subject becomes agitated, unfocused or disturbed the "aura" will reduce in size dramatically, then become dimmer, shifting towards the red band. Gaps will begin to appear in weaker areas as seen in the aura, or energy field, on a Kirlian photograph.

Electromagnetic Spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, x rays, and gamma rays. Visible light, which makes up only a tiny fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum, is the only electromagnetic radiation that humans can perceive with their eyes.

At the most basic level we are oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon and trace elements with the minerals producing energy fields for processing and communicating information at cellular levels. The visible energy frequencies are perceived by us as light, and more specifically as colour (which we can see in particular gems). This is a very limited portion of the actual frequency range. Trace elements in the human body amplify information activity in the parasympathetic nervous system, while the low frequency minerals activate the autonomic nervous system's message pathways.

It has long been known that gems and crystals have certain powers or energies. These powers were, and continue to be, rarely noticed and scantily understood by the general public -- so magic or mysticism are often attributed to them when changes occur. Or worse still -- disbelief and outright dismissal! The group dynamic of beliefs, norms and customs, as well as vested interests will continue to slow the pace of change and acceptance in areas of understanding and utility of the subtle energy potentials in and around us.

We have in our high-tech world, all but forgotten gems and crystals for their true values and uses and subsequently often misuse them haphazardly, hence very little correlated information or imperical data, based on the real results (achieved by the correct usage of these unique substances) is available. Gems and crystals tend to do one or more of the following: focus, stabilise, polarise, store, transmit or collect energy in their specific frequency range.

Once they are used correctly they can become potent influences in our physical and emotional health and well being. Thus, healing is not all they do, they can also balance and harmonise, transform and protect the average normal person as well. Their ability to gather and store information as well as to amplify and project, condense and focus energy is dramatically exhibited in more practical terms. In the section about Time Crystals™, a dramatic example of this can be seen.

It is widely known and generally accepted, that gems and crystals, and particularly Quartz crystals, have the ability to not only promote healing and general wellness - but also to store information. Physicists at Stanford University have demonstrated a fully digital model of the device that stores information as a hologram within the subatomic structure of a crystal. This was reported in Newsweek, September 1994. These scientists were able to store and retrieve an holographic image of the Mona Lisa. Even though in this particular experiment the particular crystal used only held 163 kilobytes of information memory -- it is known that even small crystals could store millions upon millions of Kbytes. The interesting thing is that the information is stored in three-dimensional form and the storage and retrieval mechanisms work remarkably faster than anything currently available.

The therapeutic use of gems and crystals is not a new phenomenon. Certainly not "new age". It is in fact only rediscovered ancient secrets and knowledge which is becoming increasingly accepted and implemented again today, as we learn more about the "powers", energy and potential uses of these elements. Gems and crystals have been used in healing, therapy and magic rituals since time immemorial, certainly as far back as any records go.

The ancient civilisations of Greece, Egypt, Rome, India, China, the Incas, the Mayas, the Africans and the native North Americans used gems and crystals extensively. Even though much of that specific ancient information has been lost to us, now that we are rediscovering the natural potential of our minerals, there is a growing body of "new" evidence showing successful history and anecdotal accounts of astounding occurrences and "discoveries" regarding the uses of gems and crystals. View the Fantastic Facts section for some examples. This "new" information can be found in literally hundreds of currently available books and publications, which are there for all those who take the trouble to look them up.

As you research this body of information, beware of the hype and misinformation - for these also abound. Use your intuition and experience or ask those who have made it their business to uncover what is true and of use, and then separate it from the "hype" and even the deliberate fraud that sometimes occurs.
