Of all the gems and stones available, a crystal is one of the most significant and popular one, that has been used for more than one reason. It has been chiefly used for cosmetic and decoration purposes. And apart from that, it has been used in future predictions, for healing people of various health related problems and also to make living conditions better. But all this is based on the different beliefs and perceptions towards life, of different people. Here we are going to look at the cosmetic uses of crystal.

Crystals can be your key to razzle dazzle, shine and glitter. To add some life and spice to yourself for that ‘oh-so-special’ evening party, the ball dance party or the corporate party, you can bet upon crystals. They will help you rocket to fame and glory, as you turn heads wherever you pass from. Just one jewellery set of crystals or crystal encrusted in your lavaliere or finger ring can do the magic.

Crystals do not have to be the shiny silver stuff that we all know. Even some of the precious stones, that can make jewelery beautiful, are called crystal, like amethyst. More or less, all kinds of crystals are used for astrological reasons. But even though the astrological factors are well in place, more and more people are fond of crystals as jewellery, more than anything else. Available in different colours, crystals can be worn with a variety of dresses.

The best thing about Crystal is probably when a ray of light falls on it and breaks into thousands of small rays that bounces of the surface of the crystal and spreads a shine and sparkle around. With this magnificent property of crystal in your jewellery, you can add more power to your brilliance, thereby stunning people around, wherever you go.

HOUSE ENERGY CORRECTION, HOROSCOPES, KARMA & CRYSTAL ENERGY FIELDS : PART I

House Energy Correction is the concept of controlling the 8 Directional Energies; 7 Chakras and 7 Energy Bodies of the People; Boosting and Balancing the 5 Elements of the Lands & Buildings. Simply stated, it is the Total Energy Rectification of Horoscopes of the Family Members and Business Partners; Vaastu and Fengshui Energy Correction for their Lands & Buildings. Read the revealing FAQs about unique Crystal Energy Fields based on the Ancient Siddha Programming Techniques for Karma Correction. This is the first of a series of 3 parts of FAQs.

Question 1 : What exactly is “Energy Correction” ?

Human beings, like all objects, receive different levels of energies from the 8 different directions. When all the 8 directional energies are positive enough, they get positive results. When the energy levels dip below a limit, they suffer. For example, if a person receives high positive energy from his North, he will be financially well off. But if he also receives negative energy from his South East, he will never be able to enjoy it. The blue print of the energy levels of a person at his birth time is what you could call as his Birth Horoscope.

These 8 energy streams control the 7 Chakras and 7 Energy Bodies of the person, which in turn control every thing else in his life. The quality (positive or negative) of the energy and the quantum (percentage) of the energy that a person receives is his Karma or Destiny. The concept of correcting the 8 Directional Energies and tuning the 7 Chakras & Energy Bodies of a person so that he stays within a 100% positive energy belt all his life-time is called Personal Energy Correction.

Question 2 : Can you explain more about these Energy Beams from the 8 Directions ?

Energy (or Prana or Chi) is pure and on it’s own, is always balanced positive. It is the basic power brick on which the Cosmos is built upon. However, depending upon the Karma of the Person, Land and Building, it/he receives energy either as positive or negative. Then the percentage of the positive or negative energy that it/he receives culminates in positive or negative events of it’s/his life. Unlike Land and Building, the Person moves. Where the Person moves, his Karma follows. So do the Energy Beams that he receives from the 8 Directions. It does not matter what direction he is moving or facing, it does not matter whether he is in India or America, he keeps receiving the same Energy Beams with the same Quality (Positive or Negative) and Quantity (Percentage), until the change is destined or brought about.

Question 3 : You spoke of Horoscope & Karma. Are you saying that both can be rectified ?

Yes ofcourse. All the Planetary Energies are received by a person through the 8 Directional Energies only. By filtering or/and transforming them, you pacify the planets, remove the effects of problems like female curses, planetary & pithru doshas, etc. In other words, you rectify the Birth Horoscope itself. In fact, there is a more sophisticated process with which I undertake Karma Correction itself. This process minimises the bad karma to such an extent that one simply doesn’t feel it’s impact at all.

Question 4 : So then what is “House Energy Correction” ?

House Energy Correction is a two fold process. In the first fold, Personal Energy Correction (including Horoscope Rectification) for all the residing family members is done. In the second fold, the Five Elements of the Land and the House are fully balanced. In other words, the Karma of the Lands, Home and the People living there are integrated, cleansed, tuned and balanced. That is called House Energy Correction.

Sub-Question : What are the controlling Five Elements of Nature ?

The controlling Five Elements of Nature are also known as the Pancha Pranas or the Pancha Bhoodhas : Earth (Bhoomi), Water (Jala), Fire (Agni), Air (Metal, Vaayu), and Ether (Wood, Sky, Spirit, Space, Aakash).

Question 5 : Once corrected, how long do these positive effects last ?

In my process, once corrected, the energies stay corrected. That is because I use Crystals as my Energy Tools. Unlike any other remedies, Crystals last for hundreds of years. Plus the Crystal Programming Techniques that I use are extremely powerful, time-tested and bestowed by the Ancient Ones or the Sacred Siddhas. That is why I say the positive effects will atleast last for 3 generations. The Energy Corrections that I undertake are done through custom built Crystal Energy Fields. To know more information about these, visit : http://www.crystal-vaastu.com/home.htm

Question 6 : Can you eloborate more on these Crystal Energy Fields ?

The Crystal Energy Fields are created by numerous Crystals arranged in a special formation, after being programmed and energised for executing specific tasks for specified people. The quality, colour, nature and shape of the Crystals needed for House Energy Correction depends on the Karma of the Family. Some of the crystal energy shapes that I use for Energy Correction are Maha Meru, Stupa, Vajra, Viswa Vajra, Rahu or Vajra Phurba, etc. I also use exclusive crystal shapes like Maha Meru with Viswa Vajra, Ashta Vajra Stupa and Ashta Vajra Maha Sakthi Chakra.

Question 7 : How do you determine the type and number of Crystals that are needed for a particular family or business ?

By Clairvoyance or Sookshma Drishti, I scan the energy levels of the People, Lands & the Buildings. Without it you cannot practice Energy Correction. I also use certain Divining Tools like Tarot Decks, Runes & I-Ching Coins, if and when needed.

Question 8 : Are there many models of Crystal Energy Fields ?

Yes, there are very many models. Some are very sophisticated and more powerful than others. Some are for specific tasks like bringing together estranged couple, concieving a child or solving psychic problems or breaking black magic. Some of them are dedicated for Business Energy Correction. There are certain models for only handling factory related problems like production and labour problems, litigations, etc. I also build exclusive CEFs for the NewAge Kabbalah Numerology which I practice. The kabbalistic numeric vibrations of the tuned name are transmitted 24/7 through CEF, to achieve and retain results.

How do you make large crystals of salt using water and regular table salt?

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009
Zephyr asked:


Apparently you can make large salt crystals at home by dissolving lots of regular salt in water and then doing something to it. Does anybody know how you do this, how long it takes, and what sort of size of crystals you can make?

There are a lot of reasons to grow crystals in research, but none of them are more important than the journal bump they cause. As it turns out, even collecting a crystal can be its own publication, albeit in a less than interesting journal. Therefore, it is with great efforts that we try to grow crystals.

For those of us in the natural products game, crystals all but remove the ambiguity with any relative stereochemistry. This way, we only have two possible molecules to make. SURE, you can say you’ve made heptacene and stabilized it by various things, but you’re assured a JACS or Angew paper if you can give ‘em a cif file. And since blogs are useless (imho) if they fail to inform, I’ll show you how ‘ol Kyle grows up his crystals.

I do my own data collection at our world famous crystal structure facility, mount my own crystals, solve my own diffractions and whatnot, so I’ve vested a lot of interest in this sort of stuff. That isn’t to say I’m an expert, of course. Now, all I do is organic crystals that aren’t air or moisture sensitive. So this isn’t an exhaustive review by any means. For a more in depth guide, I suggest you look at this.

First thing I usually try is to do a vial-in-vial vapor diffusion. This is a simple little ditty in which one places their compound inside of a small vial in a solvent it is reasonably soluble in and putting it in a larger vial filled with volatile solvent that it is not soluble in at all. Overtime the volatile solvent will evaporate up and into the less volatile solvent and slowly dissolve and diffuse in there. As the polarity SLOWLY changes, the thermodynamic wonders of crystallization occur. In the case to the left, I’ve put some of my new synthetic target, Tiklemaitaint A, into a vial filled with dichloromethane and I’ve allowed pentane to slowly diffuse into it. If you look closely you’ll see some pretty crystals.

Another method that’s very popular is to simply allow for slow diffusion. This method is more straight forward. You simply layer one solvent on top of another and the slow diffusion process causes crystals to form in the middle. So, that’s pretty easy. Then again, the easiest way is to just keep some of your crap in an NMR tube and forget about it and then one day look over and discover amazing crystals. That’s possibly the best way to do it, since there’s no effort and it’s always a surprise.

You can also cap your NMR tube (or any vial, really) and drop it into a (really good) dewar with some hot solvent. Cap that baby tight and put it in the freezer. Hopefully, it will take a few days for the solvent to get down to zero, at which point you can extract your vial and MAYBE see some crystals. If you’re lucky enough to work where there is a -72 chill room (or -20 or -50) (a deep freezer works too, if you have the space) where you can just plop it in. (If it’s owned by the asshole biochemists, tell them it’s DI/DI sugar water. It’s alright to lie to biochemists. They’ll believe anything if you tell them entropy made you do it.) I’ve never tried to make crystals at the low temperature. I can’t imagine mounting them would be that fun.

What’s the best way to grow sugar crystals with common household items?

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009
Starblazer asked:


My guestimation is that I’d need to boil water, and then saturate it with as much sugar as possible. From there, I’d add a small object to function as the seed for the crystals to grow on. It’d need to be cooled gradually (left to sit out), and should be airtight. Am I missing anything?

Crystals are the great and shiny substances loved by the people around the globe. Crystals are frequently used to make the jewellery products. The very famous type of crystal jewellery is Silver Crystal jewellery.

Crystals are well formed and very shiny and refract the light rays falling on it, creating a great sparkling effect. Crystals, when in the raw form, are not very fine and have non-uniform surfaces with dull appearance. But they are treated and processed in the labs and as a result the different sized and multi coloured crystals are formed with uniform surfaces and bright and clear look. The crystals are very durable and hard and it is not very easy to break them. Due to all these properties these are used with some other metals like silver and gold to make the jewellery items.

The most famous types of crystal jewellery are Silver Crystal Jewelry. In this jeweller, the silver beads are attached with the small, lovely crystals to make a great piece. Silver is very light and can be broken down easily to create different shapes and designs. The durability of crystals and shine and look of silver, results in a great piece of art.

Another advantage is that silver is not very costly, so overall price of this jewellery is not so high. That is the big reason of the popularity of this jewellery. There is another advantage. If you want to create the customized shapes and styles of your jewelry item, then you can simply re-arrange the silver beads in your home. It is very simple and need no training.
