         <description><![CDATA[Marcel Vogel, IBM scientist and world renown metaphysician, devoted the latter part of his life to comprehending hidden truths, and in particular, the mysteries pertaining to crystals. Utilizing scientific methods and working with a host of volunteers he pioneered the field of crystal energies. A crystal is a special form of matter. It is a solid with a regular internal arrangement of atoms or molecules.]]></description>

         <author><![CDATA[frances]]></author>
         <description><![CDATA[Elixirs are made of water that has been charged with the energy of specific crystals. Water is almost magical in its ability to accept and hold various energies and transfer them wherever needed. The simplest way to make an elixir is to set a glass of water in the sun with the crystal in it for a few hours. Two hours is usually enough, but you can go upto twenty-four hours to incorporate the balanced energy of a full cycle. ]]></description>

         <author><![CDATA[frances]]></author>
         <description><![CDATA[The one thing we can be sure of is that we all have a right to use the crystal energies in whatever way is appropriate for us. The New Age movement has seen thousands of people drawn to the crystal energies; they have become part of a vast spiritual and environmental awakening. Crystals bring unconditional joy and beauty to our world. Like each human being, each one is a unique representation of God/Goddess and as such they should be treasured.

         <description><![CDATA[All crystals have healing power when utilised in the correct manner. Their molecular components and the effect of temperature on them determines their shape, density and colour. Each type of crystal has a particular healing effect when placed on or around the body, or when in used in combination with others in a layout and grid.

         <title><![CDATA[Dont Mess with Moldavite]]></title>
         <author><![CDATA[frances.harris@soothingminds.co.uk]]></author>
         <description><![CDATA[By Rita Jelinski. Still, I don’t like to be so prejudiced and admit defeat and so I decided that I’d go and buy a crystal and see if it might help me with my so far unsuccessful attempts to meditate.  I’d read a fair bit about how crystals could amplify the meditation experience and so it was definitely worth a shot.

All the books tell you to buy the crystal that you’re drawn to.  I am a woman of exquisite taste and what was the crystal which was calling to me?  Moldavite.  Now the crystal cognoscenti will know that moldavite is the most expensive crystal on the planet, or in this case, off the planet, because it’s actually a fragment from a meteor which crashed into the River Moldau in the Czech Republic several million years ago.

         <description><![CDATA[Crystals are formed from various minerals and elements in many different combinations.  With this in mind, along with the fact that minerals are essential to our very being, and a deficiency of a mineral or minerals can lead to ill health or even death, it made sense to me that there must be health benefits to be gained from absorbing (at the very least) minerals from gemstones/crystals through the skin.  The skin is the largest organ of the body and is permeable allowing minute particles to be absorbed, be that for positive benefit or negative ill health.  ]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Placing charged crystals in a grid formation magnifies their power in a similar way to many people treating one person with Reiki: the energy increases exponentially. There are a number of ways in which you can create crystal grids, but all have a central crystal and a number of crystals surrounding it.
