Elestials

2008-08-18T22:17:00.000-07:00

Elestial crystals can repair damaged cells in the brain and rewire the damaged areas to bring back new life. They are powerful crystals that have been brought into this time, to assist in the mass cleansing, healing, and re-awakening that is currently occurring on this reality plane. Elestials are the great comforters to those who are in the dying process and they assist to release the fear of leaving the physical body in order to identify with the immortality of the soul.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Elestial crystals are more commonly known as 'skeletal quartz'. This is a special and unusual kind of quartz crystal that is distinguished from other quartz crystals by its shape.

Unlike regular quartz, the Elestials may have several terminated points on a single piece or may be a single terminated piece or may have no terminated apexes. Many of them appear singed and often have a rather smokey color. The faces of these crystals appear etched and/or layered.

Elestials are said to be aligned with angelic vibrations. They have also been used in various ceremonies to reach the ancestral spirits and are connected with the concept of Shiva due to their use in preparing for deep transformation at the core level.

The combination of the highly charged quartz material with the layered etching draws the mind within itself, allowing for the discovery and eventual identification with cosmic consciousness and angelic energies. The Elestials usually emerge into your life during times of deep changes that affect the core of your being and basic essence.

These crystals can be used to overcome emotional burdens, bring the heart and intellect into synchronicity, and look within to find the love that has always been there. They can also assist you in understanding the processes of life and the levels of death. These crystals also stabilize brain wave frequencies and neutralize erratic or confused thought forms.

With the Elestial's connections with deep transformational change, and the comfort they provide to those who are in the dying process, it is easy to see why this form of crystal can be used as an entrance to information concerning past, present and future lives.

They can also be used to facilitate access to shared past or future lives between two or more people. With their effects on the brain, Elestials act as an aid in the comprehension and verbalization of the information which is received. They can be used to assist in accessing information relevant to the Karmic burdens incurred during past lives, and help to recognize and understand the concept of grace or find a more joyful way to cancel the karma.

Using Elestials to access future lives will help you to understand the tasks/lessons that must be accomplished in this life in order to eliminate the need to repeat harsh lessons.
