Chapter Eight-Clearing past traumas and unwanted relationships with a crystal

 

After the last session, I wondered -how can I ‘program’ a crystal? I searched through other River transcripts and found instructions which I will share here.

First, find a crystal that has been harvested honorably. This may seem like a mysterious quality, however if you use your intuition and ask questions of whomever or wherever you are buying the crystal, you may be able to ascertain how the stone was harvested. If the stone was yanked from their bed in a hasty manner with profit as the primary motive, you can intuit if the stone absorbed those toxic vibrations or not. Perhaps it is still possible to work with dishonorably harvested crystal, but you will have to do extra clearing and programing with it. Notice the shop or venue where you buy the crystal. Do they seem like people who understand interconnectiveness? Did they program the crystal before you came to it with greed and sickness or do they love the mineral world? Do they speak about the mineral world with affection and connection? You can sometimes touch the wound area of the crystal, where it was cut from its nest and see what you feel. If there is a sense of hurry, distraction, neediness, then it’s been harvested dishonorably.

I honestly think that some things can’t be cleared of dishonorable intentions and treatment. During my early thirties, I lived in a housing co-op that had been built hastily by men who were forced into sloppy labour practices by their employers. The big business contractors were later were charged with sloppy constructions which needed huge repairs and repair bills. Why? One asks. Why bother to go through life with that attitude? Why add to your karmic debt? Life is hard enough already without consciously adding to your suffering and the suffering of others.

I thought that because it was part of a co-op so it would have good intentions in its environment. When I first moved in, I smudged all three floors with sage, cedar, Palo alto and chanted clearing songs. I put salt in the corners and a shrine with crystals and other power objects in the spare bedroom. It was a new construction, well designed and sunny. I had a small garden the front and a large patio off the dinning area where I planted pots of flowers and herbs. But no matter what I did to clear the space, nothing assuaged my feeling of discomfort in that home. I always felt ungrounded, out of place, slightly anxious and distracted most of the time.

Every day, I dreamed about leaving the place. After only one year we bought ten acres on a Gulf Island and moved into a trailer while we constructed our new home. My husband and I build the small house with the help of an experienced carpenter, using our own design and materials. As soon as we moved in, I immediately felt a deep affection for that home. I always felt comfortable and grounded there. On the weekends I could stay home and rejuvenate from very stressful work.

The effect of the three worlds of Gaia, mineral, plant and animal upon our health applies to all ‘things’ in our environments -cars, clothes, food, especially meat, furniture, carpets, floors-all the beings from the mineral plant and animal worlds who surround our lives and contribute to our wellbeing, if we use them honorably. The River once said, “Soul lives outside of the self”. Which was a confusing statement for me since I had always search inwardly for guidance from my higher self. They continued to teach an entire body of instructions which they called “Soul Catching’ which is a method to connect with the environment for guidance and insights which are hidden from our conscious self. You can check out my previous blog postings for instructions on Soul Catching. I published a book called “Soul Catching-Finding sacred connections in our environment” in 2008. That book will soon be available on Kindle and Amazon direct publishing sites.

Remember, ancient cultures used crystals in a variety of ways that we can only imagine. More advanced cultures used crystals to move objects, to see into probably futures and pasts, to jump people from one reality to another for the purpose of healing, to focus intentions, to slice into DNA for the purpose of altering physical expression, and to cut psychic ties that are unwanted. That is the main utility that I teach my clients and students.

Method for cutting psychic ties that are unwanted.

After you have become acquainted with a large, well-harvest crystal, you can clear it, either in sea water, fresh water, dew, moonlight or sunlight. If you are going to take it to the beach, be careful of very cold water because the difference in temperature can crack the crystal, as what happened to mine. I still use that crystal because its very large and I believe it still has the ability to hold power.

To bring the crystal into alignment with your being, reflect on divine intentions you want to ‘program’ into the molecular structure of the stone. Take your cleared crystal, enter into a meditative state with the crystal in your hands. You may use sound, chanting, smudging, holding, even putting the crystal into your mouth to bring your own DNA into its presence. Do this every day for at least nine days before using it to invoke change.

Once you have brought the crystal into your alignment, sit with it in your hands in meditation, in your shrine area or another power place for you in nature. Set a clear intention: Focus on the specific goal you want to program into the crystal. Be clear and specific to avoid muddled energy.

Infuse the crystal with:

Mental Focus: express your thoughts, visualizing the desired outcome. Allow that energy to flow into the stone.

Verbal focus: State your intention aloud, either silently or with affirmations in the present tense, such as “I now release all holds that _____ has on me”.

Bring to mind the person or situation that you wish to release. Feel the influence of the person or situation vividly in your body.  Notice all the emotions that they create in your body and mind. When you feel the activation of what you want to release, then you can begin to cut the psychic ties you have formed with them. Remember, no constriction, illness or discomfort can come into our experience without our soul permission.

Take the crystal and slowly, starting with the crown chakra, scrap away any psychic ties that are connecting you to that person. The ties can be unconscious, but with love, appreciation and calm, as you cut the emotional and psychic ties say this prayer:

With all love and compassion, I cut this bond and give it back to you. Go your way in peace.

Repeat this process for each chakra. Take your time, you may have to repeat the ceremony several times. Notice what the thread that connects you -is it a chain or a golden thread or a green vine. Remember you can allow any tie that you cherish to stay. That is your choice. For example, you may find ties to your loved ones that you want to continue to nourish. That is fine. Now your love is conscious.

Release the crystal by gently disconnecting your focus from the crystal and bring your attention back to your surroundings.

Thank the person or situation you have released. Express gratitude for the crystal’s support. This can be done silently or out loud.

Keep the crystal with you, place it on your bedside table or shrine. Hold it and meditate with it regularly to maintain its energy and remind you of your intention.
