Cut Glass vs. Natural - Knowing What to Sell
The search for a kinder more genteel way of life is the direction that we, as retailers, are helping
others find these days. With the chaos and confusion that surrounds us on a day-to-day basis, it
is little wonder that removing stress from our lives is a high priority. It takes work and conscious
effort to eliminate stress and through the application of prayer, meditation and energy work we
obtain the support needed.
By raising the chi energy in our homes and work places to a level of excellence, we can begin to
shape our lives into a personal paradise right here on earth. Elevating the level of energy is an
easy process if you have the right activator. It is amazing to realize that one little thing by itself
has the power to uplift us.
Crystals of all kinds have an extraordinary capacity to activate energy. This increase in energy
not only brightens any space, but makes us feel wonderful! Crystals carry with them enormous
power. A bauble, a crystal, a flicker of light, a hundred rainbows dancing in a symphony of
color!
A suspended Austrian crystal spinning in the sunlight can activate energy powerful enough to
remove depression or aid in cases of insomnia. Crystal balls on stands placed on a side table or
bookshelf will resonate with the same power as hanging crystals. Place a crystal in areas with no
windows to keep the energy at its highest level. Even the tiniest spark will illuminate the space
in a special way.
According to Chinese philosophy it is crucial to balance the five elements in the spaces we spend
time. These five elements water, metal, fire, wood and earth are easily balanced by using an
Austrian (cut glass) crystal. When hung in a window crystal radiates all the colors of the
spectrum enhancing all the chakras including the minor ones. Besides the shimmer of color is a
reminder of great joy as they all dance together.
All cut crystal will encourage the dance of the elements, but they are also magnifiers. By the
very process it makes to cut a crystal it magnifies any intention you place with it. For example:
place a cut glass crystal (magnifier) next to piece of amethyst (wealth) you are increasing
wealth. The shape of a crystal is significant as well. For instance, a baroque or French pendant
cut crystal hanging over your bed may ease financial worries while you sleep. Small round
crystals suspended from a car mirror can prevent “road rage” and keep you alert. An octagon
shaped crystal will aid in healing after sickness or surgery.
