Shielding Bracelets

Just like plants; Minerals and stones have been said to emit different vibrations and amplified auras. If you recall, earlier in this manual we had you finding different stones and items to feel and differentiate between the various auras. Now we learn how to use them to magnify our own senses within the force.


Quartz

Quartz Crystals are the single most used stone in Religious, Spiritual and Magickal practices. Scientists have long studies it’s properties and to this day, this beautiful little (And not so little) stone amazes everyone who looks upon it’s prismatic beauty.

There are many types of Quartz, Rose, Cloudy, Amethyst, Grey, Citrine and are simply beautiful to behold. Because of this, stone artists have used quartz to create statues, and other artistic pieces but even more uniquely is that, due to the structured arrangement of Quartz it’s adams vibrate at a very stable frequency which makes these little stones great as a receptor and emitter of electro magnetic energies. Even more amazing is that one can induce an electrical current into the Quartz which causes it to vibrate and create it’s own weak electrical currents. Because of this they have been used for watches, radios and other electronic devices and most importantly noted, the Silicone chip which is used in our computers and mobile phones.

Just like the programing of Silicone Chip’s. Some have claimed that you can program Quartz with your own energies, aura and thoughts. Through meditation and focus we are able to set specific stones up for different purposes. Cleansing, warding, trapping, amplifying…

Every practice and faith has come up with their own use for Quartz crystals. Some believe that, if a Quartz is programed and cut to specific dimensions (Often the same dimensions of the Pyramids) it can re-align energies, chakras, and meridians of those that hold or wear them.


Silver & Gold

Silver and Gold are both natural metals that have been used in mysticism of all different kinds of Cultures and Lore. The Egyptians believed that their skins were made of gold, rich and vibrant while their bones that of silver. Mystical artifacts were made of Silver including a container that held the “Book of Thoth” a spellbook said to be so powerful the Gods would punish any mortal who read it.

Colloidal Silver and Colloidal Gold were both liquid solutions made in ancient egyptian time when alchemist worked their creations for healing. One man believed his Colloidal Gold, or Aurum Potable as it was called could heal….anything! Further study of the Colloidals has remained controversial but even to this day, gold is used in medical practices.

But the most important aspects was their connection to the Yin and Yang elemental energies. Gold is seen as having a Yang element while silver is Yin. Using one or the other would help in amplifying the practitioners use for balancing or unbalancing energies. If a patient or yourself is To yin, you would wear and focus on the properties of gold (yang) and if you are to Yang, you would use silvers to cool the tempers of yang.


Amber

Amber is a favorite of mine. Not only is it pretty, but it has a natural pain relieving property. The oils and essentials that seeps out of the hardened sap of pines is soaked through the skin (neck or wrist) and sooths the aches. Mothers of old and new have used Amber Necklaces to relieve teething in babies and arthritis in wrists and hands of elders. While its not so much a magnifying element for use of the force, the ability to clear up blockages within yourself is always a worthy source of knowledge to have.

Homework!: Start a stone collection and document each stone by it’s aura properties and use in magnifying or otherwise within the force. Use of focused meditations are great in finding these answers. Take pictures of your work and write about it in your journals.

NOTE:: This is just a copy paste of a brief exert to a full meditation lesson system over at Just Jedi. I just wanted to share the information on the stones as a means of sharing information and ideas. Not as an attempt to teach or train.
