I’d like to discuss some of the variations that can be
employed to do Crystal Layouts. The
first one, and the one I wish to discuss in this article, is, colloquially
speaking, the ‘Power Up’ Layout. Have
you worked with crystals before? If not,
this is not the layout to start with.
Power Up layouts are for the old salt, who has lots of crystals and uses
them on a regular basis. If you are a
crystalholic, read on!
In this layout, you use lots of crystals to bring lots of
light. I suggest at least 10 six-sided
Clear Quartz Points evenly spaced on each side of the body, along with a sizable
Quartz Generator at both the head and the feet.
Usually when you place Clear Quartz Points around your body, they will
be pointing inward. This means the light
the crystals bring is directed into your body.
Another suggestion is to place
more Clear Quartz Points along your midline at each of the chakras, or even on
and between the chakras. Wow, lots of
crystals and lots of light!!
Normally, crystals placed on the upper chakras are optimal
when pointed downward, and on the lower chakras pointed upward, both in the
direction of the heart. In the 'power-up' configuration, there is no concern about the up-or-down flow along the
midline. Rather, the objective is simply
exposure.
Besides creating a flow inward, Clear Quartz Points can be
used to create vortexes. A vortex will
be either clockwise or counter-clockwise.
Which-way-is-which can be confusing, especially if you turn around. So, to get the direction clear, for a
clockwise vortex, place your hand on your heart and rotate it outward in a
clockwise direction. Do the opposite for
a counter clockwise vortex. That is,
with your hand away from your body, bring it to your heart in a counter
clockwise direction. Can you guess which
way the light is travelling within the vortex?
Light in a clockwise vortex goes outward from you to the universe. You are giving light to the world outside
your body. Light in a counter-clockwise
vortex is inbound, so you receive light.
To translate these vortexes into a Crystal Layout, the
clockwise vortex will have the crystals around you pointing down on the right
side of your body and up on the left. The
way the crystal is pointed gives directional flow to the light passing through
the crystal. Each crystal will point in
the direction of the next crystal to create a circle of light flow, which
results in a vortex. The counter-clockwise
vortex will be the opposite—with the crystals pointing up on the right and down
on the left.
While you are still working hard to achieve progress on the
spiritual path, i.e., en route to enlightenment, your best interest is served
by bringing light to your body. Using
the clockwise layout, which sends light out to the universe, needs to be reserved for the advanced
practitioner, who is well past the novice stage. Sending light out to the universe is greatly
appreciated by the Angelic ones, but it leaves the practitioner in a vacuum
with no light. If you are sending light
out, you will need to bring light in, because the body will need to be
replenished. Until you really know what
you are doing, and until your vibration is quite high, the counter-clockwise
vortex is what you need to do, if you do a vortex layout. It brings light to you.
Leaving vortexes alone for a moment, I wish to expand on my
cautionary note about the power-up layout.
Because such a layout includes a couple of generators, 20 or 30 crystals
pointing inward, and several more along on the midline, the flow of light, to
which your body is exposed, will be significant. This many crystals makes for a strong layout. The person receiving too much light may
experience shock to the body’s light receptors, which results in vibrational
warps, uneven body density, imbalances in light reception, receptor burn-out,
and over empowerment in different parts of the body. The person’s vibration cannot handle the
sudden, massive, influx of light frequencies.
In the Hindu traditions, the ‘kriyas’ are a symptom of
over-exposure. You would not want to try
this with a person who is just starting to work with crystals, including
yourself. This much light is something
you work up to over a period of time and after many layouts.
The whole purpose of the spiritual path is to acquire divine
light frequencies on the road to enlightenment.
The benefit of the power-up layout is exposure to a significant amount
of light. If your body can work with
this much light, the spiritual path accelerates. The days of crawling along in the dark are
gone! Wake up and let your spirituality
run with the light—Power Up!
The more crystals you add, the more powerful the layout
becomes. The bigger your generators, the
stronger the layout. This, then, is what
I mean by the ‘power up layout’.
