MEDITATING WITH YOUR CRYSTAL

Here is a meditation exercise that you can do with your Crystal  to increase its beneficial effects.

THE PYRAMID

This meditation exercise involves visualising yourself seated in a  pyramid filled with coloured light.

The effects vary according to the colour of the light.

Each colour has a different effect on our health and well-being: Red: energy, vitality Orange: jealousy, possessiveness, sadness, tears, negative  emotions Yellow: self-confidence, self-assertiveness, aggression, anger,  stress  Green: selfishness, solitude, balance; opens the heart, develops  intuition Blue: brings peace and serenity, counters instability, facilitates  communication  Indigo: makes you more discerning, develops clairvoyance,  counters lack of initiative and mental blocks

Violet: brings renewed confidence in life, brings a sense of fulfilment  and joy, and increases awareness

White: the colour of purity

Choose the colour best suited to what you want to achieve  and the personal qualities you want to improve.

At a quiet time in the day, when you are sure not to be disturbed,  choose a quiet, dimly lit place. Perhaps light a candle, burn an incense stick and play  soothing music. Make sure you are sitting comfortably,

cross-legged on a cushion on the floor, or on a chair.

Read this carefully before you begin to  meditate:

Stage one: Hold your Crystal in both hands, with your hands  resting on your legs.  Close your eyes.

*  Prepare yourself mentally to meditate for ten to fifteen minutes.  *  Breathe deeply, slowly and evenly, using your abdomen, in order to relax.

Stage two: When you are fully relaxed, concentrate on your forehead.  Mentally build a pyramid around you. Its base forms a square on the  ground with you at the centre.

*  Try to see it in your mind, or feel it, or visualise yourself inside  the pyramid, as if you  were looking at yourself from the outside. The apex of the pyramid is just above your head.

Stage three: Fill the pyramid with the colour of your choice.  Relax and let the coloured light  wash over you. Give free rein to your thoughts, and intruding images.

*  Try to concentrate on feeling and visualising the pyramid, while  at the same time relaxing.  Relax inside the coloured pyramid.

*  If you feel any tension in your body, mentally project a stream  of coloured light onto the tense area.

*  Let yourself relax completely. Don’t try to control yourself.  Let yourself float, in a state  of deep relaxation.

You will probably have spontaneous visions of coloured images.

Stage four: After a while, re-establish your awareness of your  body and your breathing.

Take a few deep breaths. Feel your Crystal in you hands. 
Mentally clear the image of the pyramid and open your eyes.
Remain still for a few minutes before resuming your activities.
