You are correct, it is really a more general radiation of mineral energy at large around the stone in question. Although in some circumstances, the outward subtle mineral energy expression can be present more in one direction than others; it depends a lot on the stone in question. This can become a deep subject.
1) Does the size of crystal affect the amount of mineral energy given off? Ive heard that in some mineral species this is a factor, in other of the more high energy ones not so much.
Well, in a word, yes. The larger the mineral body, the larger its subtle mineral energy field. In the case of smaller crystals and their use for specific work; we found it was simple to place the crystal in water to gain a greater quantity of subtle mineral energy with which to work. We used a simple glass of water. This was especially useful for typically small crystals such as Topaz and minerals such as Turquoise. When the optimum approach using thoughtforms is employed, you don’t need to touch or hold the crystal to use its energy; neither does the ‘patient’; having it sitting in a glass of water on a nearby table was perfectly fine.
2) What is your opinion on energetically clearing a crystal of accumulated negative or stagnant energy? Such as with water, sound, moonlight etc.
This is a classic chestnut (seasonal pun unintended
). There does seem to be a fascination about ‘cleansing’ crystals and minerals of accumulated ‘negative energy’. What is this ‘negative energy’; where does it come from? Indeed during / after cleansing the crystal – where does this ‘negative energy’ go?
Our analysis of the situation went quite deep into the subtle processes taking place but here and now, I’ll try to be concise.
There are two factors, what the ‘negative energy’ is – and – what happens during the cleansing ritual (for in principle that is what it is – a ritual).
Firstly then the ‘negative energy’; it is nothing more than the ill thoughts of human beings. Generally speaking there is very, very little need to energetically ‘cleanse’ any crystal or mineral because these negative thoughts of people are by and large very weak in nature. Only where someone has some degree of subtle knowledge or has some study of occultism can they actually produce strong thoughtforms (positive or negative) and the likelihood of such a person coming across the crystal or stone in question is pretty rare – and for them to have ‘attached the thoughtform’ to the stone too… Pretty unlikely!
Secondly there is the process of this attachment; there are seven evolutionary groups of minerals in the Mineral Kingdom. Given the principle function of the Monad in such groups, only three of the groups can actually allow and permit the attachment of a thoughtform to the evolutionary structure of the said stone. So only 3/7th of all minerals can in nature, enable a thoughtform to become anchored to them. The simplest method to remove any negative thought from any crystal is to create a strong thought of the principle 'detach all other thoughts entirely from this crystal'... This new 'cleansing thoughtform has the program to do as it is intended, it's quite simple.
Now consider whether this process is really
actually necessary. For any ‘negative energy’ (the negative thoughtform) to be attached to the stone, the stone has to be in the 3/7th to begin with (otherwise the thoughtform just drifts away). Then the “perpetrator” putting it there in the first place also has to be conversant with the exercise of creating a strong negative thoughtform and binding or anchoring it to the stone. You can surmise my opinion on this matter.
The general perception of a stone 'picking up' any residual energies of a client, patient etc indiscriminately, under exact scrutiny, has no foundation.
3) Is mineral energy diminished/inhibited at all by matter? (for instance a crystal next to a wooden board, does its energy penetrate?)
Mineral energy is
subtle by its nature. It does not exist in this physical world in which we perceive matter. Consider it like this, imagine a stone has an energy field in the shape of a sphere, emanating outwards in all directions. Its energy is subtle, therefore it exists on a subtle level of reality. Everything
that is – exists in a multi-dimensional reality. So if you like, you could say the energy field is astral or that it exists in another dimension or world than this one in which our consciousness currently resides at this precise moment in time (while you are reading this). Where
we have an astral body with various functions and realities pertaining to the astral world – so too does the stone. The physical body of the stone – is its body ‘here’, just as we have our physical body ‘here’; both subject to the laws of physics.
As you look at this stone, sitting on your wooden bookshelf, its ‘energy sphere’ radiates outwards in all directions and obviously passes through anything physical near it – so it is uninterrupted beneath the stone as it just passes through the wooden shelf as though it wasn’t there. This is really a matter about the laws of the planes. Therefore the answer to this question is no; no ‘matter’ can affect the subtle mineral energy of a stone. In some circumstances however, the
subtle energy of another physical object might interplay / interact with the subtle mineral energy field of a stone – but not its ‘matter’.
This discussion is barely scraping the surface of the depth of subtle reality of crystals and stones.
