“They all come from the Earth!” While on the surface it may seem obvious that all stones carry Earth element energy, upon closer inspection it become evident that this is not necessarily the case. Some stones carry very low-frequency energies, while others carry very high-frequency energy. Some are more suited for physical healing, while others are more resonant with the emotional, energetic or mental aspects. The tremendous range of energy carried by the mineral kingdom clearly reflects the range of energies present in the elemental force of Nature. In order to understand the relationship of these energies, it is necessary to understand the holistic interaction of all energies available to us on Earth, and how they arr balanced and distributed around the planet.The elemental forces of Nature are the expression of the energies carried by the total organism of Earth. The elemental forces of Earth, Fire, Water, Wind and Storm are not static chemical compounds, but are events that describe energetic interactions. Like our own bodies, Gaia (Earth) has many different systems that allow her to move into balance through dynamic response to her ever-changing energetic field. Minerals and stones are the vehicles through which the Earth’s energy is distributed and balanced.
The Earth planet is a living, breathing organism that mirrors our own bodies in many ways. Every being on the planet acts as a cell within a system of the greater whole. The mineral kingdom, plant kingdom, animals, birds, insects, and humans are all integral parts of the greater body of the Gaia organism.
Gaia has an energy field(aura), that consists of electromagnetic (Light) energy. Humans also have an electromagnetic field (aura) that surrounds and permeates our bodies. Within the Earth the continental plates constantly shift and drift to balance Gaia’s body. This densest aspects of Gaia represents the energy of Earth element. In our own bodies, this element is represented by the movement of our densest-our bones and muscles.
Gaia’s fiery core continually recycles Earth by melting down stones and releasing energy through volcanoes and geothermal activity. This energy is Fire element, and it is mirrored in our own bodies by the digestion of food and its transformation into energy and heat.
Gaia’s circulatory system shifts and moves through the tides of the oceans and the flowing of rivers, streams, springs, lakes and ponds, carrying nourishment to every part of her being and taking away. This is the Water element, which reflects in our own circulatory and lymph systems.
The breath of Gaia circulate around and through her body in the form of air and other gasses. This is the Wind element, which is present in us as the breath and gasses of our bodies.
The element of Storm is created when all four elemental forces are empowered at once. This element is a dynamic balancing force that helps the Earth correct imbalances within her energy field. We also experience the energy of Storm within our bodies as experiences of massive cleansing, spiritual awakening and the correction of vibrational imbalance.
In order for Earth to be healthy, all these aspects must be in balance and empowered. If any single elemental force is out of balance, the organism become diseased. This is true of humans as well. If any one of our system is imbalanced it compromise our health and well-being.
Our ancestors knew the value of this dynamic balance. They spent their lives immersed in the energies of these elemental forces and honored them for their life-giving properties. Day were spent out in the fresh air and sunshine, drinking pure water and eating foods that were grown in harmony with natural law. Today, we spend most of our time isolated from these natural sources of energy, and disease and imbalance are the result. We are taught to be afraid of the sun and its life-giving fire. We eat foods grown on over-stressed Earth, depleted of minerals. Our water is toxic, as is our overly conditioned and polluted air. By separating ourselves from the natural elemental forces and attempting to control them, we have created a tremendous imbalance in both the Earth’s energy and body, and our own.
Healing is a process of restoring a state of dynamic balance to the body and energy systems by moving back into harmony with these natural forces. When we are not able to dynamically respond to these changing energies and experience, we manifest a host of symptoms including physical, psychological, emotional and energetic disease. In order to restore the state of dynamic balance that is health, we must be brought back into resonance with the full range of healing frequencies available to us through moving back into harmonic vibration with the elemental of forces of Gaia.
Crystals and stones can be especially helpful in balancing these elemental forces with the body. Yes, all crystals and stones come from the Earth, but that does not mean all crystals and stones carry only the energy of the Earth element. The Earth’s planet is made up of stone and rock, yet all of these dynamic elements are present in her total being. Within Gaia’s body, mineral act as resonant ‘cells’ that carry the different frequencies of energy, as represented by the elemental forces. In fact, crystals and stones act as regulators and distributors of electromagnetic (light) energy throughout the Earth.
Crystals and stones carry the entire spectrum of Light energy available to us- from very low-frequency energies we equate with the physical realm, to the extremely high frequencies we equate with spiritual awakening. When we bring a crystals or stones into our electromagnetic filed, two things occurs. First, the electromagnetic frequencies carried by that stone will vibrate with related frequencies in our own energy field through the physical law of resonance, creating a third larger field of vibration.
Your nervous system is attuned to these shifts in energy and will transmit this information to your brain, where the frequencies stimulate biochemical shifts that affect the physical body, trigger emotional experiences and shift brain function to open you to spiritual experience.
Second, the tiny particles of minerals in your body that carry the frequency will move into resonance with the particles of mineral in the stone. This cause your body to believe that you actually have more of that mineral in your body and it will react accordingly with additional biochemical shifts.
The experience you have when you holding a mineral, then, is directly related to its electromagnetic energy signature and the system of the body, mind, and spirit are grouped into Five Categories: physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual. Each of these aspects is also governed by an elemental force.
The physical level of vibration is governed by the Earth element.
The emotional level governed by the Water element.
The energetic is governed by the Fire element.
The mental is governed by the Wind element.
The spiritual level of vibration is governed by the Storm element.
By understanding which level is predominantly affected by the electromagnetic energy of the stones, you can determine the elemental force with which the mineral resonate.
EARTH: Stones related to the Earth element tend to be resonant with the physical level of our experience- the lower- frequency and magnetic energies. These stones are what we would consider to be ‘grounding’ stones. They help to regulate high-frequency energy and create bio-chemical and energetic shifts, enabling one to feel more present in the body and on the Earth. The Earth element governs the structures of our lives- home, job, family structure and financial aspects- and the structure of the body. They can be helpful for the bones and tissues; or they may be used to support changes in the more established structure of our lives, such as ending long-term relationships, changing careers, moving house, or changing in the physical body. These stone helps balance the emotions related to the dense aspects of our lives, such as physical survival, connection to the body, and feelings of being capable and responsible.
“When you work with an Earth element stones either in meditation or by simply having the stones with your aura, you will find that these aspects of your life become highlighted. This helps you become more aware of what needs to shift in your life in order for these aspects to come into balance and harmony.
WATER: The Water element governs the emotional body, circulatory system, lymphatic system and the fluid of the body. It helps one to release the past and flow towards the future, to communicate one’s feelings and truth to others, and to feel more love and compassion. When Water element is out of balance, one may have difficulty expressing one’s thoughts, opinions or feelings. Relationships may suffers because of lack of communication. On a physical level, almost all the circulatory system and heart issues stem from a Water element imbalance.
When you work with Water element stones, you can expect to learn how to communicate more effectively and how to express your true self. It also assist in maintaining healthy emotional balance and frequently used to alleviate depression, excessive fear, sleep dysfunction and hyperactivity.
FIRE: Fire element stones help fortify and balance the energy system of the body. They govern the flow of energy through the meridians, the vitality of the chakras and, on a more physical level, the reproductive system, digestive system and the endocrine system. Fire element stones affect such aspects of the body as digestion and metabolism, hormonal balance, glandular issues, sexual function and desire, and fertility. This element governs how we experience energy and how we put our own energy into the world. On our emotional level, Fire element stones deal with how we use use our will and our personal power our creativity and sexual expression, our ability to take action on our dreams and desires and anger and fear issues. These stones tend to stimulate the body and energetic field.
Fire element stones tend to highlight issues of creation and manifestation. In order to manifest something, one need to be able to take action towards one’s vision. If Fire element is lacking, self-direction usually suffers and one’s ability to create and manifest in the world is compromised. When you work with Fire element stones you can expect to have experience that will show you where your personal energy may be blocked or misused. By bringing the Fire element back into balance, you can feel more empowered, creative and excited about life.
WIND : The Wind element governs the mental aspect and opens the doorway to spirit world. It brings message from the spirit realm in the form of visions, information. On physical level, the Wind element governs the respiratory system and mental cognition. Wind element stones stimulate the respiratory system and enhance brain function and mental abilities. They are often used to facilitate meditation, to support study and learning, and to enhance mental clarity. These stones are excellent for use in breath work, healing from from tobacco use, and for general respiratory difficulties. They tend to sharpen the mind, and to assist in opening the psychic and intuitive abilities.
STORM: Storm element is actually an energy created by synchronistic combination of the frequencies of other four elements. Storms energy activate any chakra or level of the body, mind and spirit because it carries the energies of all the of the elemental forces. Storms element stones are used when massive transformation, cleansing and radical dynamic balancing are called for. These stones often work on many different levels, affecting all of the body’s system and elemental energies. They are generally used only for short period of time and circumstances when one is ready for tremendous change. They often bring up deep patterns to understand on a conscious level and then cleared. When you invoke Storm by utilizing Storm element stones, you can expect changes in your external world as well as your internal world. People often report radical shift in their lives when these stones are utilized.
Every body is different. Each person has there own unique vibration and bio-energetic field. Everyone is at a different stage of their energetic and spiritual evolution. So, there is no ‘one stone fits all’ remedy. Therefore you need to find the crystal or combination of the crystals that works best for you. Some stones carry a combination of elemental energies because their chemical composition and vibration allow them to resonate at a broad range of frequencies. One you have identified the general elemental force requiring balance, it is the best to use your intuition choose the exact stones or stones combination to address your specific needs.
