I purchased a book many many years ago, and for some reason, came across it recently and started going through it. I thought that I would share with you some very interesting information about how to use crystals, cleanse them, and meditation methods that were contained within. I am not advocating nor recommending that any of you try or follow the information below, however, if any of you should decide to begin this and try it out, I would really like and appreciate feedback on how and if it is working for you.
The book is titled "Crystal Love Secrets", by Brett Bravo. I know,,,I know,,,the title is pretty corny,,,lol. Regardless of the title, it really is quite informative and very interesting as well. It was a lot of work to type this, believe me,,,but, lol,,,think it might be worth it for some of you who have a potential interest. It is kind of long, but I think definitely worth reading. Everything typed herein, was material provided from the book.

"MEDITATION MEANS TO MEASURE"
The root of the word meditation is the same Latin and Medieval French word med. What is perfect in
this modern time is this root word refers to the word medical. To meditate is medical! Here are the other
phrases to describe this healing practice.
1. To Reflect Upon
2. Study, Ponder
3. To Plan or Intend
4. Think Deeply and Continuously
5. Deep Reflection on Sacred Matters as a Devotional Act
To describe medical:
1. To Measure
2. To Consider
3. Wise Counselor
4. Doctor
5. Connected With the Study of Medicine
The emotion connected with the word meditation that most of us feel inside is frustration.
Somehow the Western mind has been so focused on the logic and action of the Masculine Energy in
our left brain, that when we are asked to meditate, we do not know what it means.
Because Eastern spiritual leaders have been coming to the Western countries more frequently in this
century, we have heard the word meditation more.
After ten years of researching the reasons why people resist meditation, it seemed expedient to
switch rather than fight. Just to give an idea of how perfectly in divine order everything is - it was
an Eastern philosophy that eventually unlocked the secret of meditation in the West.
The best way to manage anything is by
making use of its own nature. A thing
cannot function properly when its own
nature has been disrupted.
- Tso The Ching -
Our nature is to be active, to be doing something (especially with the hands). The active meditation
of using a crystal, placing it on a powerful point of energy circuits coursing through our bodies,
speaking aloud positive sentences, is exactly how the Western mind can attune.
This practice is also called a guided visualization. Making pictures in the mind is very easy for the
majority of us who have been seeing motion pictures, video, and TV most of our lives. Telling the
restless mind that the vibrations of the crystal are changing something inside the meditator is true.
It is also reassuring for the meditator to realize (1) we have Cosmic Energy at our disposal, and (2)
the crystal is an antenna attracting specific rays.
While the left side of the brain is feeling good about being methodical, the right side of the brain is
happily visualizing the changes taking place. Underneath the surface on another level of the mind, the
memory and subconscious is in a recall mode.
The three most powerful energy points on the body can be accessed by placing the crystal and
hands over the areas. The affirmations can be repeated at each point, making an invisible change in
the areas surrounding the whole body. This interruption or change in the amount of Cosmic Current
taken in through our energy system has a noticeable effect on our ability to recall the past and
anticipate future events.
I find that if I stop all distraction around me, my body will talk to me. I’m so busy most of the time, I
have to do this everyday just to ask myself, "How am I really feeling?" "When I meditate long enough
to get past the mind chatter, something really important that I’ve been shoving to the back of my
mind appears on a screen." "I know my blood pressure goes down because I’ve checked it before and
after." "When I take ten minutes a day just for myself sometimes, it makes the whole day
worthwhile." "Sometimes I disconnect from everything on a physical level and I can fly." "I can
frequently get in touch with people I love who are far away from me." "Sometimes I get insight into a
person or a situation that I’ve been struggling over." If there is one reason above all to practice a
method of "measuring" what is happening, it would be to access the Cosmic Data Bank?
The purpose of these active meditation exercises is to:
A. Release old, unhealthy thought forms.
B. Create new, healthy thought forms.
C. Receive new feelings of self-love, outgoing love, in-flowing love.
When we use crystals, we are not only focusing on what the lesson inherent within it is, we are also
using the energy from that crystal. Cosmic rays are floating all around us invisibly in the Universe. If
we get into cycle and use these crystals that transmit certain specific energies, it’s like receiving a
gift from the Designing Creative Force.
These and any other (hidden) purposes will automatically be reflected back to ourselves. Universal
law is as easy as A, B, C.
Reflecting means something is bounced back to us. When we look in the mirror, it reflects back our
image - we see ourselves. When we send out our mind energy to the Cosmic Data Bank, we are in
the process of having an image reflected back to us. The image is always there in the bank, but we
have to go to the bank, call the bank, make contact and ask for what we want. When we have our
radio or television turned off --where are the pictures? Where are the sounds? They are in the
ethers, awaiting contact!
If I have my radio and the television both turned on, each to a specific station, I’m getting a lot of
sound and images. Maybe all this information is not really relevant to what I need or want. In order
to be really tuned into the right frequency, I must eliminate conflict, and excess stimulation.
In our busy business, we become totally distracted and/or sensorily overloaded. We are constantly
dealing with what researchers call white noise. (Maybe this is how they got the title of that movie,
lol). It is a combination of subliminal vibrations being cast out by electronic devices, including neon
lights, computers, and electrical transformers, large power lines, traffic, and household appliances in
use. Scientists are beginning to detect real physical reactions to this undercurrent or vibrations that
are not healthful to humans. In our "high tech" societies, as we develop even more electronic
contraptions, how are we going to protect ourselves from an overdose?
To take the first step in protecting ourselves, we must plan our lives around a quiet time alone each
and every day, for the rest of lives? Only ten to twenty minutes a day is needed to be alone and
quiet with the crystal. I ask you to hold it first on the solar plexus (between waist and ribs), say the
sentence (sentence examples will be provided at the end), then hold it on the heart, and last on the
forehead, say the sentence that has been specially developed by you for each area. After this brief
activity, the invisible cosmic rays will be focused to vibrate the three invisible light bodies that will
cause a physical molecular change. Then write your thoughts or speak them into a cassette
recorder, to be reviewed in a month.
Take a look around your home and find a comfortable place. Remember this is going to be your
sanctuary, your haven, from all distraction. The spot you choose is going to be your healing temple.
Look around and listen. Do you notice any electronic devices noise, any traffic vibrations? What can
you do to clean this energy or yourself?
1. Remove clock radios and other electronic gadgets. Put them in other areas permanently.
2. Devise a thick roll-down covering for windows where commercial noises enter the room.
3. Choose a pillow or a chair (unless you prefer the floor), that is inviting. Use a special piece of cloth
that is large enough to throw over where you will be sitting. This cloth can be of any texture you
desire. It could be a bed sheet, a towel, a tablecloth, a favorite bathrobe, a curtain, a small oriental
carpet, or something purchased expressly for this purpose. The color is very important! The color has
a vibration that will affect you. Please give yourself something special, let yourself have your
favorite color. The very best you can do for yourself is to visit a fabric store and purchase at least
one yard of the most desirable fabric you can afford! Keep this as a special "mood maker" for your
healing temple. When you are ready each day, lay it over where you are going to sit. If you can
afford more than one yard, give yourself another piece that you can wrap around your shoulders!
4. Use a candle in place of any electronic lighting. Use as many candles as you like; maybe you will
even discover the number you choose will be significant! If you wish a maximum effect, purchase at
least a two inch diameter candle that is scented and colored in your favorite shade.
5. Choose or devise a small table of some kind that will be convenient to keep in this special spot on
which to place your candle safely. Buy a large box of wooden matches and keep it there also. This
is a private personal altar, just for you! Make sure this area is cozy, convenient, private,
comfortable, attractive, and inviting to you. You must be able to shut out distraction.
6. Place objects on the altar that are meaningful or precious to you. This the perfect place for your
crystals.
At this point, there are some rules that must be followed:
1. Use something physical to represent anyone in your exercise.
2. You cannot force your will upon another.
3. Replace and change only your feelings.
4. Speak your responsibilities and emotions aloud.
5. No accusations or attacks can be made.
6. Your meditations must be for the other person’s highest and best good.
7. Examine your real motives.
An "active meditation exercise" that involves another person with whom you wish to communicate,
would be helped by having a photo or some item belonging to them on the altar. This brings their
vibrations into your meditation and helps you to focus on them.
This practice must not become anything like black magic. It is merely a physical representation of
the invisible energy that we call the spirit of a person or thing. The purpose of these meditations, is
to focus our own mind, body, and spirit vibrations on healing communications between ourselves and
the one at a distance. Mental telepathy is a proven fact of our lives now! It takes place whether we
know it or not, every day, when someone at a distance, without reasons, appears in our
thoughts....Minutes later, the phone will ring or a letter arrives....from that person! It is a fact, that
we can send messages with mental energy.
When we have misunderstandings, old arguments, hurts, angers, and resentments still bubbling deep
down under the surface of our Emotional Body, we are not healthy! Our negative feelings and
thoughts are transmitted unconsciously to the other person(s) at any distance! They receive this
negativity and have feelings that are uncomfortable, unhealthy, fearful, and eventually focus the
energy back to us. It is the reflecting effect of Universal Law: "I get back what I give out."
In order to change this pattern of unhealthy chain reaction, it is necessary to replace the old
feelings with new feelings. To eliminate the old feelings, we must get them out of the body where we
have carried them in the cells. The most effective ways are through the voice or physically "acting
them out."
In these active meditation exercises we do both! We tell how we are feeling out loud to the other
person (living or not), and we act out in our mind the motion picture of how we want to feel. We
forgive ourselves for our bad feelings and we forgive the other(s) for any blame which can be
imagined or not. We say aloud how we understand our own choosing to react in the negative. To
begin to acknowledge our own responsibility in any confrontation is an act of healing. To say these
things with our own voice changes the vibrations around us and eventually around the other(s).
It must be very clear in the meditation of any sort that includes another person that the intention is
for the "highest and best good" of yourself and the other(s). The reflecting effect will apply!
If the meditation is designed to attract another person to yourself for any reason, it must definitely
be for clean, pure, and truthful love purposes. There must be no self delusion concerning a hidden
agenda. A purely sexual lust, a financial benefit, or wildly impossible hero/idol worship of a public
figure would be unhealthy.
The same can be true for any of us on a smaller scale with lost loves, imagined or real! So many
clients have poured out their hopes, wishes, angers, and despairs over relationships they have never
released! Some as long as sixty years in the past.
Choose the crystal that feels right to use as an antenna to focus all of the energies that are now
present in your sanctuary.
You may want to choose a simple Quartz crystal to represent the other(s) on your altar. Before you
use it, please deprogram it " (I will provide the process that they recommend from the book for
cleansing/programming/deprogramming at the end). After this has been done, speak the name(s) into
the Quartz as lovingly as possible. Place it on the altar.
You need a separate crystal for yourself. It can be any one of the colored crystals that call to you
emotionally, by visual liking or by energy transmitted through touch. There are many different ways
to like a crystal. The colored crystals are already programed to transmit rays from various stars and
planets, so they are focused energy and cannot be programmed. The one you choose for yourself
will be bringing to you the perfect program! Your superconscious mind will choose the crystal if you
relax. do not try to "figure it out" with your left brain - just follow your heart.
If you have no colored crystals available to you, use another Quartz crystal and go through the
same cleansing and programing procedure that you did with the first one.
Speak into the crystal what you want to accomplish with this active meditation exercise. Your
personal crystal will be kept with you throughout the duration of your meditation program. You need
to keep it somewhere on your body between the throat (Power Center) and the solar plexus
(Emotional Body). In the center between these two points is the heart (Spirit Body), which is a very
comfortable place.
If you are using a loose stone, it will have a tendency to get lost! Make or buy a little pouch to put
it in, or wrap it in a handkerchief or square of choice fabric. If possible, put it on a ribbon, string, or
strip of leather around your neck and wear it under your clothing.
If you are using jewelry containing your stone, it need to be worn in the same area, even if it is a
ring, brooch, bracelet, or earring. Remember that gold, silver, and all the metals are crystals, too! It
is easy to tie this jewelry on a string or ribbon around your neck and wear it inside your clothing for
a month. Take the crystal off at night and keep it under your pillow or beside your bed.
When you go to your special meditation place, lock the door, close off the noise from everything, sit
on your meditation cloth, and light the candle on your altar, for this will be the most precious time in
your life! Make sure that you choose a time when your resistance is low.
The most important part of your meditation time is the time when you focus on your own heart,
mind, and emotions. In order to begin with this, take your personal crystal in your hand and gaze
into it for a while. Allow yourself to see inside it, even if it is not transparent. A crystal such as Lapis
Lazuli (Laz-U-lie), Turquoise, or Malachite can be studied in the same way. As you search for
understanding of your tone, it will be affecting your energy, creeping into your electromagnetic aura
field, and transmitting cosmic rays directly into your vibrating molecules!
At this point, the most successful body position would be lying on the floor, head pointing to
magnetic north. Try to get as close to this as possible.
Place your crystal on your solar plexus (between the lower ribs and the waist), place both your
hands over it, which completes an energy circuit, with Earth-Moon magnetic and Sun-planets energy
coursing through your hands and the crystal. This will magnify and change the vibration of your
Emotional Body, whose center is right there under your hands.
This same procedure with a different sentence is practiced on the heart, which is the main generator
and home of the Spirit Body. This is the part of us that never dies and can travel free in the
Universe when not trapped in a physical plane such as Earth. When you are holding the crystal on
your heart, feel your physical heart. Go inside it and ask it to talk to you. You will receive answers
from your spirit that are wise, true, and good for you.
Now move the crystal to your forehead, which is the place called the third eye. This accesses the
pineal gland in the center of the brain, which remains or corresponds to the dorsal fin of a dolphin!
The human brain is a fantastically powerful computer, broadcasting, receiving, sorting, and storing
experiences and observations on many subjects, many levels of consciousness, and possibly close
and distant invisible worlds.
When we activate the pineal gland, we are turning on our receiver. We are sending out to the
Morpic Field and beyond to the Universal Conscious Mind a channel of light. This is like putting an
electric cord in the electrical outlet and plugging in to power.
Sitting or lying quietly waiting for inspiration may be the toughest or the easiest part of this active
meditation exercise. Don’t be discouraged if you receive worldly, mundane thoughts that seem non-
spiritual or even selfish. Pay attention to every word or picture that comes. Let them pass until
something strikes a chord within you, that excites you.
Just wait calmly. It will happen. Be patient with your Self. Also, be confident that underneath the
level of your thinking, the changes in your brain waves are really happening. Do not demand anything
of your Self because what you are doing is making your Self open to having a gift. Earlier, in the
beginning of this chapter, I asked you a question: "Where are the sounds and the pictures when you
have not turned on your radio or television?" They are vibrating in the air all around us, invisible until
we decide to turn the power on. When we go into our sanctuary, sit down, and surrender all
resistance, it is like turning on the switch! All of the answers to all the questions that have ever
been asked are available.
The secret is, love is the "stuff" that permeates the Universe, holds everything in place, keeps a
balance, and produces the whole show. If we can tune in our receiver to that frequency, we can
hear the broadcast. The more consistently we go into our special place and wait patiently for the
inflow of "stuff" we call love, the greater the changes that will occur in our outside world. Even
though we may not experience conscious "mind-blowing enlightenment," we are receiving a peaceful
and living vibration that strengthens us in a subtly powerful way. Others will even remark that we
appear healthy and happy! Or they may just say, "You look different, what have you been doing?"
We are sending out to them different messages from our Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual bodies. This
causes a reaction in them that follows the law of reflecting effect. We become givers because we
are filled! All around us can be positively affected because we have taken a few moments to receive
the free energy flowing everywhere, by simply sitting in silence.
In realizing the groundless nature of ignorance,
my former awareness, clouded and unstable,
becomes transparent, clear and shining as crystal.
Its light transforms all blindness.
- Milarepa-
CLEANSING/DE-PROGRAMMING/PROGRAMMING A CRYSTAL
In order to deprogram or reroute the pathways, we must demolish the old wagon trail and build new freeways in the brain. Using a crystal introduces new frequencies and new vibrations to speed the reconstruction. The Emotional Body must be felt and heard. The Spirit Body must be consulted for experience and advice. The Mental Body must be constantly retrained, expanded, and balanced.
When the crystal has been handled or used by many others on its way to you, it has stored unnecessary vibrations, they may all be neutral or not. When you begin processing with a newly acquired crystal, cleanse or deprogram it. This is my favorite method (there are many others):
Wash the crystal in cold water. I use a little dishwashing soap. Place the crystal where sunlight and moonlight can vibrate it, unobstructed by glass for twenty-four hours. Ultraviolet is a cleanser and leveler.
Colored crystals are already full of vibrational program due to the element inside the structure that reflects a colored ray of information. They cannot be deprogrammed or reprogrammed from their messages. They can be cleansed, however, from surface vibrations they have acquired in their travels. I always use the identical ritual with colored stones, just to be sure, and to make them personally my friend.
The clear Quartz crystal, after deprogramming, can be given a verbal or brain-wave program by the owner. It will hold this until cleansed again.
The difference in colored crystals is their specific strength of a one-pointed, very clear program. They are stronger medicine, specialized, to help you accomplish your goal, without distraction.
MEDITATION
There are different sentences that you can use for different crystals as well as for different reasons. It is very personal and individual to the person meditating. So, the sentence for each area should be your own, it is really up to you alone.
The book gives many different examples of these short little sentences that you can use depending upon what you are trying to achieve for yourself. I will give you two examples from the book for meditating with an Emerald and a Rose Quartz.. The first one is called Emerald Meditation for Romantic Love,,,Whoohooo,,,lol. The second one is called "Star Rose Quartz-Meditation for Gentle Love of Others"
EMERALD
Follow this ceremony for all meditations. Be in complete privacy. Lie on the floor or ground, head pointing north. Do this when the mind is at low ebb or the body is at low energy. Place the Emerald on:
Solar Plexus (near waist): Cover with palm, repeat aloud at least seven times......"This Emerald is vibrating to calm my erotic emotions until I can discern my true motives in relationships"
Heart: Cover with palm, repeat aloud at least seven times...."This Emerald is vibrating to shake my true heart into feeling"
Forehead (third eye): Cover with palm, repeat aloud at least seven times..." This Emerald is vibrating to bring my mind into balanced and structured assessment of my desires."
STAR ROSE QUARTZ
Solar Plexus (near waist) (Emotional Body): Cover with palm, repeat aloud at least seven times..."This Star Rose Quartz is vibrating to soften my passionate feelings into a gentle love for others."
Heart (Spirit Body): "This Rose Quartz is vibrating to connect my Self as the Spirit level with all those I love."
Forehead (Mental Body): "This Rose Quartz is vibrating to keep my thoughts focused on pure and sweet love."
**Just an interesting side note: It also says within the book: Some humans are able to see the lights that are created by the various power centers in the human dynamo. The man who wrote this book said, While I was attending a beautiful and happy celebration, I picked up and admired a large Quartz crystal. From across the room, a stranger came directly over to me and said, "I have never experienced this before, but when I watched you pick up the crystal, there was a green glow all around your body!" We frequently learn actions, judgments, ideas, and beliefs from others, by osmosis. We just absorb them without being conscious of choosing them ourselves...
