Quartz Meaning: Metaphysical Properties & Uses

Quartz occurs in many varieties, is found all over the planet, and is generally accepted as being the most powerful healing and energy amplifier of all crystals.

Generic Properties of Quartz 

Quartz has a unique helical spiral crystalline form which is responsible for its remarkable effectiveness as an amplifier. Studies have shown that the effects of Acupuncture needles increase by ten percent when the needles are coated with Quartz and that a Quartz point reduces fuel consumption if attached to the fuel line of a vehicle.

 

Quartz absorbs, stores, releases, and regulates energy and is also excellent at unblocking it within the meridians and energetic systems of the etheric body. As shown by a Kirlian camera, if you hold a piece of quartz in your hand the energy of your bio magnetic field is doubled. You can also have fun testing the powers of quartz by experimenting with static electricity. Rub a balloon vigorously against a natural material such as a woolen jumper, or your own hair, and see how a Quartz crystal dispels it more quickly than anything else.

 

The reason why Quartz is known as the Master Healer Stone is because it works at a vibrational level attuned to the specific energy requirements of the person needing healing. It also works to ascertain the spiritual needs of anyone who is looking to develop their spiritual practice, enhance their personal growth or form deeper connections with their spiritual selves.

Varieties of Quartz

Clear Crystal Quartz

Clear Quartz is a must for inclusion in nay crystal collection. Its uses are so varied, and its power so strong, that it can be used for almost anything you care to mention, from manifesting desires to easing physical pain.

Spiritually, its credentials are no less dramatic. Clear Quartz is said to raise spiritual energy to its highest possible level. It contains every color within its structure and works on all levels of being. Clear Quartz acts like a storehouse for spiritual vibrations and knowledge. It is almost like a natural library in this respect as it has the ability to absorb and retain spiritual wisdom. it enhances psychic abilities and helps to make your spiritual purpose clear.

Clear Quartz is one of the best crystals to use for programming. When you wish to work on manifesting your goals, dreams, or material resources you may choose to create a grid or mandala to help you to focus and meditate on this. You will find that instructions as to how to achieve this often refer to “programming” your crystals in order to get the maximum effects. Clear Quartz is ideal for this purpose as it acts like a sponge in its ability to absorb your intentions and thoughts. After all, thoughts are energy, and Quartz is an energetic super crystal.

• To program your Quartz, you need to prepare yourself and your space before you begin.
• Clear and cleanse your space and hold your Quartz crystal under clear running water.
• Take some time to phrase your intentions in the best possible way for maximum results.
• This entails using only positive language and keeping your requests and desires in the present tense. For example, if you want to manifest more money, your intention might say “I have everything I need to meet my material needs. I have an abundance of wealth in my life”
• Your intentions can be longer than this if you wish to add more detail. It is a good idea to write these phrases down before you start the ritual. It is surprisingly easy to slip into using negative language of you are not concentrating and telling your Quartz crystal what you do NOT want will confuse the situation and dilute the power of your intentions.
