Have you gone to a crystal store and had the shop owner or crystal healer recommend a specific crystal for a specific use, only to later check in a crystal book and see that it has different recommended uses? On top of that, if you check several books, you will find even more meanings and uses for a single stone. Plus, for each teacher, the crystals have a different meaning and use.

For me, this tendency to assign purpose and/or meaning based on the crystals creates mixed feelings or contrad...
The New Year holiday celebrates the beginning of a new cycle. It’s a time to symbolically start afresh. What time could be better to let go what no longer serves us; to resonate with our transparent crystalline selves; and to remain open, in an “expanding mode,” to integrate others’ transparent perspectives.

In a world where we have learned to be controlled by the left brain, known for reason and logic, it’s difficult to link inanimate objects such as crystals with the power to exert any change, much less to connect us with our well-being.

However, ancients saw them differently. Our ancestors used crystals for a range of purposes that had in common exceptional benefits, such as bringing peace and transformation. Something mus...

In 1922, Niels Bohr, who received the Nobel Prize in physics for his contributions to our understanding of atomic structure, announced to the world that the atom, the basic unit of matter, is mostly empty space filled with energy. Today we know that solid matter around us is 99.999 percent space and mostly energy. This applies to everything from galaxies, stars, and planets to the body, thoughts,...
Have you ever wondered who you really are? Who you would be beyond who you have learned to be? If you were transparent—crystalline—what would your life look like? How would you change your world?
