Entrainment and Crystals - The 'Song' of Life | Is Science Finally Catching Up to What the Ancients Knew About Crystals?

I saw this post on Zen Gardner, and wanted to share some insights about how crystals work to heal the body, mind and soul.

Healing, like communication, is a process of entrainment. Entrainment is the ability of two or more systems to share information, which in turn affects their behavior, how they organize. We discussed this in relation to earthing in the post Earthing Restores the EM Fields in the Body | Earthing Science (Entrainment) and Health Effects.

Information transmission occurs when one moving system, our bodies in this case, is in a location or orientation which allows the data from another system to enter it. So long as there is a common resonance, information will be shared. Our bodies are entrained within the Earth's frequencies, the so called Schumann Resonance of 7.83 hz, which means the framework and material of our bodies are organized around the same frequencies the Earth uses, and as such have a common resonance. The Earth acts like a tuning fork, adjusting our bodies to vibrate at a frequency in harmony with the Earth.




When we place our bare feet on the ground, the electromagnetic vibrations make contact with our bodies and an equilibrium-ization of charge distribution occurs. The bodies functions, the biochemical activities within our cells, muscles, brains, etc work at their best within the frequency range provided by the Earth. In a sense when we make contact with the Earth to ground, we 'tune' our bodies to the key signature of the Earth.

This can be best understood by using synchronizing metronomes as an allegorical example:


The metronomes initially are out of sync. Their unique vibrational signatures are insulated by the rigidity of the table. When they are placed on a surface that allows their vibrations to flow to one another, a process of equilibrium-ization begins. Now their vibrational signatures are communicated through the board. The board, and all the metronomes on it, create a new system, which begins to find a dominant resonant frequency, the harmony between them. Eventually, the communication by way of their vibrations interacts and they all begin moving in the same rhythm, they all sing the same song. This is an example of mechanical entrainment. Cymatics is another example.

A fluid containing sand particles is placed on a vibrating plate which moves the water at specific a frequency, and literally changes the movements of the fluid and sand to produce highly organized shapes. 

Cymatic geometries created by specific frequencies, demonstrating Entrainment creating 'bodies,' a moving system with a specific resonance signature.

Crystals work by way of electromagnetic entrainment. Our cells communicate with each other and our consciousness using electromagnetic signals. When a crystal is formed, it is a process of environmental conditions, which entrain the geometry of the crystal to a specific lattice structure. This lattice is a harmonic of the earth, sun and galaxy system. Literally the processes of chemistry are a form of electromagnetic entrainment, as such all chemical interactions are a process of entrainment, or the changing of behavior from one state to another as a result of data transmission between two molecules or atoms. Our bodies can be thought of as living crystals in this sense, or liquid crystal.

The so called fourth phase of water, H3O2 is an example of this liquid or quasi crystal organization, a product of electromagnetic and mechanical entrainment. All of the biochemical activities within our cells require highly structured water latticing in order to work properly. Which is of course a process of entrainment. 

Dr. Emoto demonstrated in his various experiments that human emotion and even words have the ability to entrain geometry on to water.

Mental intention organized into a 'prayer' entrains the water, via EMF transmission into an organized geometry.

Taking all these data points into consideration, crystals have healing properties because they function much like tuning forks. When we hold a crystal, the vibrational energy within it is transmitted to our bodies via the EMF signals. The crystal has a fixed geometry and as such can be thought of like the board in the metronome example. The board can not change its shape, but the metronomes can. Our bodies are similarly dynamic and the crystal is relatively static. The crystal is also a highly organized harmonic oscillator, meaning that it vibrates with many frequencies, low, middle and high, all in harmony with each other; like a symphony playing the same note at different octaves. 

Holding the crystal is like earthing, the body and crystal system begin to share vibrational information, and the system with less organization, our bodies in this case, rearranges to match the stronger signal in the crystal. This is why crystals can be used for healing, but there is one last thing which makes them even more powerful; the mind. 

The mind is also a moving system. The body transmits data from the senses, which are transmitted across several different mediums. First the cells receive the data and send it through the nervous system as EMF signals, these are reflected into the brain and associated neurochemical interactions accelerate the flow of information beyond the speed of light, at the central focal point of the pineal gland. Dan Winter provides very detailed evidence for this process in his work. 

This information is then transmitted into the mind sector, above the speed of light, which organizes into thought structures; meanings, belief systems and perspectives. Things vibrating beyond the speed of light operate in the time-space sector, which has the ability to transmit data in 3 dimensions of time; please see this post for a detailed explanation of this. This is why focused attention, like a prayer, has the ability to organize the water. The mind's belief structure is charged with focused attention, this creates an auric or EMF field that is highly organized and entrains itself on to the water, making the shapes above. When we place our attention on something, the associated thoughts are charged, and we experience this charge as emotions, which change the EMF fields of our bodies, the so called auric field.

As such, when a crystal healer uses focused attention, what some have called magic, they are using their own body as a resonator with the crystal as the tuning fork. The crystal entrains the body more readily with focused attention, organizing the thoughts of the practitioner, and affecting their auric field. Like the metronomes, they begin singing the same song, which is then bathed over the body of the person receiving healing. 

Because crystal geometries are a function of the elements used to make them, different crystals have different healing properties or frequency signatures. Some crystals have more harmonic resonance with specific organs or thought forms, than others. Hence some crystals can impart 'creative inspiration, or calming effects' because the mind and body have a common resonance with the crystal.
Finally, crystals can also be used for spiritual growth if we become open minded, to them. By meditating on a crystal, the mind begins to organize as a result of entraining signals emitted, this is a free will choice, and is a modality of open mindedness, what some have called 'heart space resonance.' Spiritual growth can be thought of as a process of mental organization and expansion. 

The body remains relatively fixed, so does the spirit, but the mind is changing constantly, expanding and gaining knowledge. This is what is referred to as the 'seat of the soul' or the 'temple within' and is a process of accurately reflecting the relationships in reality within the mind. Spirit is synonymous with truth, in many accurate conceptualizations, as such spiritual growth can be thought of as a progressive process of truth reflection within the mind. Since the crystal is highly organized and has upper level harmonic oscillations, it can assist us in opening our minds, and receiving the truth within.

Despite the plethora of anecdotal evidence that exists on the healing powers of stones and crystals, the debate continues to rage in the scientific community over whether crystals actually have any real healing power. For example, a basic internet search reveals many articles claiming crystal healing to be pseudoscience. In fact, one recent study argues that crystals have absolutely no healing power and that the placebo effect accounts for people’s healing experiences with them.
As a trained research scientist, I am naturally critical and curious about everything in my life. Despite having a fascination with rocks and crystals in childhood, I forgot about them and was drawn away from them during my time in school and doctoral training. Then in my late 20′s, during a highly tumultuous time in my life, I began meditating, and during my meditations I began to see visions of crystals. I didn’t know why, but I wanted to touch them and hold them. But I brushed it aside, still new to listening to my intuition, and figured I was just having random hallucinations.
About six months later my boyfriend Jimmy Ohm took me to a crystal healing course taught by a Reiki Master, Thao Le, who walked us through a bunch of different stones, allowing us to hold them and perceive their energies. In what was very much a “blind” experiment, I found that even with my eyes closed, I could feel how each stone was different, and how it resonated and vibrated in my hand. I felt something real that I could not explain or ignore.
Fast forward a few years, and I am now a big fan of crystals! I use them on myself during Reiki, I apply them in healing sessions for others, I sleep with them under my pillow, I grid my house out with them, I wear them on my body, I keep them in my car, and I gift them to loved ones and to random strangers.
WHY do I do this?
Because I have to trust my intuition. Maybe this is just the placebo effect and these crystals that resonate so deeply with me are just dumb rocks, but on some deeper, spiritual level, I know that this is not the case. Some people might criticize me for this perspective or call it pseudoscience, but I bet those same people are reading this article right now on their device’s LCD screen (which stands for Liquid CRYSTAL display), which is powered by a processor chip made of SILICON (an element derived or synthesized from silicate minerals in the earth’s crust, AKA, crystals). So are crystals just random rocks? Or are they are some of the most powerful and intriguing materials on this planet, necessary for the functioning of modern technology?
The Science of Crystals
Crystals are millions of years old, forged during the earliest parts of earth’s formation. They are the most orderly structure that exists in nature, meaning they have the lowest amount of entropy (a measurement for disorder). Crystals are structured in such a way that they respond to the inputs of all different energies around them, leading them to oscillate and emit specific vibratory frequencies. Because the crystal lattice is so balanced and orderly, the energy it emits is consistent, and when dissonant energy is inputted, it is balanced and transformed into a harmonic energy. (Note: I am a psychologist, not a physicist, so for more specifics on the physics behind this, check out this great article by Aleph Healing).
Crystals are essential to the functioning of our modern technologies, because of the way their balanced, ordered structure emits consistent frequencies and allows them to store a tremendous amount of information. As I mentioned earlier,Silicon is used in every single computer and cell phone processor, and liquid crystals comprise the display screens of these devices. Quartz (a type of silicate mineral) is used in watches and clocks to help them tell time, because it helps stabilize and regulate the flow of energy. Earlier this year, The Mind Unleashed reported how a clear piece of Quartz crystal can be used to store data for up to 300 million years! Galena and Pyrite can be used to make radio receivers that do not rely on batteries. Ruby crystals were an important part of the first ever laser developed by Bell Laboratories in the 1960′s, and it is still used today for its abilities to focus and concentrate energy. Just this week, it was revealed that a synthesized crystalline material can be used to help human beings breathe underwater (I’m sure there are many more modern scientific applications of crystals than what I am listing here but hopefully you get the idea!)
Healing and Crystals
I feel strongly that crystals have been important in my healing and my spiritual growth, and I know that I am not alone in this. I have participated in many healing sessions with people who claim to feel the benefits of the crystals. Fellow crystal advocate Jordan Pearce from Spirit Science has done some really great work on this topic, ranging from this wonderful Crystal Movie about spirituality and crystals, to this list of 38 Awesome Crystals for Spiritual Growth, to his support of the Crystal Movement.
Why do crystals seem to have an impact on spiritual growth? The answer comes in the form of energy, frequency and vibration (which, according to Nikola Tesla, are the key to understanding the universe!) Remember, crystals have been shown to oscillate at their own frequencies, and even respond to the input of vibrations. The cells in the human body also vibrate at certain frequencies, as do the chakras (the centers of the human energy body). So when we come into contact with a crystal, its vibration interacts with the vibration of the cells in our body.
According to the Book of Stones, “When we bring the crystal into our electromagnetic field, two things occur. The electromagnetic frequencies carried by the stone will vibrate with related frequencies in our own energy field through the physical law of resonance, creating a third larger vibration field. The nervous system is attuned to these shifts in energy and transmits this information to the brain. Here the frequencies stimulate biochemical shifts that affect the physical body and shift brain function.” (Simmons & Ahsian 2005, 28)
Ancient Knowledge of The Power of Crystals
For millennia, crystals, minerals and gem stones have been used to bring about healing and enhance physical, emotional and spiritual balance. The ancients must have somehow known that when worn, the energies of the stones would interact with the human electromagnetic field to bring about subtle energetic changes. Royals have worn crystals throughout history in their jewelry, crowns, thrones and swords. Interestingly, the placement of crystals on the crown on a royal’s head could activate their crown chakra, and the same goes for a necklace over the heart chakra, rings on fingers for energy meridians, and earrings to stimulate reflex points. It kind of makes you wonder if all jewelry was initially intended to connect healing stones to different energetic points on the body?! Crystals have also been used burials, in divination, and in healing rituals for thousands of years. Here are some specific examples from ancient cultures around the world (again there are many more examples cited here and here):

• The Ancient Egyptians: Used crystals for protection and health, and buried the dead with a piece of quartz on their forehead to help guide them to the afterlife. Dancers wore rubies in their bellybuttons to enhance their sexuality, and a necklace over the heart was intended to bring love into ones life. Forehead crowns were also worn to stimulate the third eye. They even used ground lapis lazuli and malachite as eye makeup. Perhaps the most interesting is the account of pharaohs who carried a copper cylinder and zinc cylinder each filled with quartz, to balance the Ka and Ba energies of the body (equivalent of Ying & Yang today).
  

• Ancient Greeks: Rubbed themselves with crushed hematite before going into battle thinking that it would make them invincible. The name for Amethyst is derived from the words for “not drunken” in Greek, because Amethyst was worn as an amulet to protect against drunkenness and hangovers. Even the word “crystal” is derived from the Greek word for ice, because quartz crystal looked like water that was frozen and would never melt.
  

• Romans:  The use of crystals as amulets and talismans was very common amongst the Romans. They were used in medical treatment and to attract desirable things, enhance health and provide protection in battle.
  

• India:  The Hindu Vedas, the sacred 5000 year old religious texts, discuss the use of different crystals to treat certain medical ailments, as well as the specific properties of different crystals. For example, they say that emerald will bring good luck. Aryuvedic medicine has also recognized the healing powers of crystals for hundreds of years.
  

• Mayans, Aztecs and Incans: All three of these societies understood the power of using crystals for balance and healing on physical, emotions and spiritual levels. Crystals were used to diagnose and treat disease, well as to see the future through divination. According to some accounts, the Incans considered certain stones (such as emeralds) to be so powerful, they chose to die before giving the conquerors the location of their emerald mines. 
  

• Indigenous Tribes: American Indians and indigenous tribes of Australia have used, and continue to use, crystals to diagnose and heal illness. Many of the stones used in their traditional jewelry are thought to contain healing powers, including Agate, Turquoise, Onyx and more.
  

• Ancient Chinese: the 5,000 year old practice of Chinese Medicine often incorporates crystals for their healing powers, including the use of crystal needles in modern day Chinese acupuncture and Pranic Healing. Chinese emperors were even buried in Jade armor as a symbol of wealth and power.
  

• Ancient Japanese: The ancient Japanese were skilled at the art of scrying, using transparent crystal balls to produce visions. Quartz crystal spheres were thought to represent the hearts of dragons, which symbolized power and wisdom.
  

• Tibetan Buddhists have considered quartz crystal spheres to be objects of great holy, spiritual power, believing their properties could even assist with enlightenment. In Buddhism, the Medicine Buddha is called “Healing Master of Lapis Lazuli Radiance,” and its rituals include meditating on lapis lazuli.
  

• Neolithic Man: The use of talismans and amulets dates back to the times of prehistoric man, with the oldest crystal amulet, made from Baltic Amber, dating back over 30,000 years. Prehistoric humans also constructed stone tribal burial chambers, or ‘Megaliths‘ that were designed according to the texture, weight, color and vibration of the stone to maximize its resonance.
