Elemental My Dear Watson

All rocks except for a few like Obsidian and coal are constructed by minerals. (Obsidian is made of glass, and coal is built with carbon, an element that can’t be converted into a simpler structure.) Crystals occur when one or more minerals “bond” together and form a crystalline structure. Every mineral has its own energy signature. The bonding of different minerals creates unique energy signatures that are classified under different crystal systems.
There are 118 elements in the Periodic Table. Sixty of those elements can be found in the human body. Only twenty-two are essential for the human body to function.
Consider this: every element is represented by unique atoms. Each unique atom contains electrons within its energy shell(s). Electrons are always seeking to enjoy balance. If an atom’s electron rings have an odd number of electrons, (1,3,5,7 etc.,) the atom seeks to bond with another atom to obtain an even number (2,4,6,8 etc.,) electrons. The desire for an atom to balance (not unlike the human mind-bodies need for balance) and then bond with other atoms creates new minerals and crystalline compounds. The hydrogen atom, for example, in 99.985% of all living things, is an atom with one electron. One electron in an atom’s ring, must, by its very nature, find another electron to bond with. Hydrogen’s one electron is always looking to bond with another atom’s electrons to balance itself. The below graphic depicts H2O: two hydrogen atoms (blue) bonding with the valance electrons in one oxygen atom. Oxygen already had an even number of electrons so to maintain oxygen’s balance, two hydrogen atoms were required for oxygen to maintain balance when adding hydrogen’s two electrons.
An understanding of the elements, their crystalline structure and each element’s function in the human body is one key piece of the puzzle to understanding the how and why of crystalology: energy balancing of the mind-bodies with crystals.
Knowledge of the twenty-two “essential” elements the body uses along with each of their archetypal “drivers” is important when looking to utilize a crystal’s healing potential. For example, the element selenium combines with certain proteins to form oxidants that protect cells. Crystals containing selenium also carry the same “protective” cell potential.
The elements in a crystal use “Bluetooth” technology to interact with the body’s cells, the body’s operating systems and organs using drivers that tell the body to: detox, enhance, combine with, strengthen, convert nutrients, etc., as if the element was physically in the body.
A deep knowledge of the body’s elemental makeup is imperative to both the self-healer and the holistic healer. Knowledge of the elements that are supportive or antagonistic to “bullying” elements in the body can be very helpful to balancing body chemistry. Ill-balanced body chemistry opens the body to dis-ease experienced by the physical mind body.
Can it really be this simple?
