How do Crystals and Gems Heal?“Everything in the universe is now understood to be made out of energy; to our perception it appears physical and solid, yet in reality it is all energy and energies interact. When you interact in your environment you are both absorbing and sending energy at the same time. You are probably more familiar with terms such as ‘good vibes’ and ‘bad vibes.’ Those are the

In traditional African philosophy, the Eagle is said to fly skyward towards Father Sun to bring messages from humans to the Creator. Eagles have been known to put geodes in their nests as though acknowledging the special relationship between the sun, the geode and themselves. This also serves as a reminder when one looks at the exterior to not ‘judge a book by its cover’ but to explore beyond

Meditating with Crystals The Scientific Art of Meditation is a method whereby we attempt to connect with that Supreme Intelligence called God. In order that this is successfully accomplished, we first have to clear the mind of unnecessary thoughts and impressions by focussing on the breath. In a nutshell, by reducing the amount of ‘stuff’ going on in our subtle body, we can gradually increase the

Kailash Crystals started out as a collection of stones belonging to our guru, Swami Shankarananda Maharajji. Deciding that He had too many of the beautiful gems, Swami chose to share them with others and we opened a small shop at our residence, which is also holds yoga classes by students of Swami. The purpose of Kailash Crystals is to help Swami a create a greater awareness of the fascinating

We have a great assortment of the mysterious and sought-after Shiva Lingam, representative of the Hindu Lord Shiva. These natural river-tumbled stones are only found in one place in the world: the Narmada River in India, which has recently been closed for excavation, so the lingams are actually no longer 'mined'. Each one has a unique pattern representative of the male/female, or yin/yang

Rose Quartz is the most gentle stone. Our lamps create a divine ambiance of love and peace and are ideal as a bedside night-light. They can also double-up as an aromatherapy oil burner as they get quite warm. Be warned, the colour does tend to fade over time, though. Our Rose Quartz range includes standing terminations, orbs, eggs, pyramids, and lots of big and small raw chunks. We also have

Our range of Amethyst stones includes large clusters and geodes, beds and terminations. Plus lots of Spirit Quartz (unique to SA) in small and medium terminations, clusters and beds.

One of the best ways to experiment with and experience the healing capacity of crystals and gemstones is to wear them and keep a record of how they work for you. Ideally a gemstone pendant should touch the skin and not be drilled or glued (although they are still effective enough in healing if they are). Wearing a gemstone pendant in particular, is a more effective form of healing jewellery, as

Because everything in existence is comprised of energy, including ourselves, each form radiates a certain amount of energy into the surrounding atmosphere, a small percentage of which is absorbed by other nearby forms, influencing their energy make-up. It is the same with the planets in our solar system. Because of their massive size, the amount of energy they radiate is huge and reaches all the

There is a growing interest today in all things of the earth and pertaining to the preservation of our natural environment. Although there is some controversy regarding the mining of crystals and gemstones, if we consider the size of the planet and how much untapped rock there is available, then it should be understood that we are only scratching the surface. In addition, stones and crystals used

Swami Shankarananda is an unprofessed spiritual master, and our guru and mentor. He embraces the mother-aspect of God and encourages an expanded understanding of Christianity. Swami has an ashram nearby (about 50 kilometres from our home) in a town called Verulam where He conducts special prayers and full-moon meditations for the benefit of His devotees. Besides being an infinite fount of wisdom

What does 'Kailash' mean?'Kailash' means ‘crystal’ in Sanskrit and is a mountain in far western Tibet, soaring to over twenty-two thousand feet. It has the unique distinction of being the world's most venerated holy place at the same time that it is the least visited.It is a supremely sacred site of four different religions: Hinduism, Bon (pre-Buddhist), Buddhism and Jainism.

Most people are not aware of the properties of stones. Science has proven that all matter resonates at a specific frequency, and this does not exclude stones. There are seven basic resonant frequencies in our universe, each corresponding to a major musical key (do, re, mi, fa, so, la and te) and a colour of the rainbow spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet).
