The Primordial Crystal Attunement
Select a crystal sphere for meditation. It can be any sphere of your choosing, but it will be better if the crystal material which you select suggests a clear theme. For example, the four archetype crystals of the crystal mesa would be ideal in that they each open distinctive avenues of attunement. Lapis Lazuli opens awareness to the mind of the Sage while Lemurian Jade opens the heart and energy to The Mother. Rhodochrosite helps make you aware of the inner Child, and Rutillated Citrine or Smokey Quartz will attune you to the Hero, or the fiery will of Agni. If you choose a clear quartz sphere, then you can align to the Light of Primordial Mind (Source, or the Infinite Consciousness). The spherical form holds cosmic patterning of wholeness and spiritual presence, while the particular crystal material of which your sphere is constituted will resonate with a particular Ray and a specific theme or themes. Try to have a crystal sphere large enough to fit comfortably into the palms of your two hands as these rest in your lap, and sit cross legged or in a chair with good support.
In this meditation, the sense of touch is important. If you sit with your eyes closed, then your sense of touch will be the physical point of contact which is most evident between your awareness and the energy field of the crystal. Begin to meditate with the eyes closed. Become aware of the feeling which the crystal has as it rests in the palms of your two hands. Breathe slowly and deeply until the mind becomes quiet. Then try to register awareness in your mind, or in your mind’s eye of the energy-field which you are holding in the form of this crystal sphere. If you know the theme of the crystal, be aware that your mind is merging into that domain. For example, Lapis Lazuli will be a field of awareness constituted of the highest wisdom. Clear quartz, on the other hand, can open into the silent vastness of the Divine.
If you can take an active interest in the archetypal domain which the crystal sphere keys for you, then you will find it easy to let go of thinking activity and rest in silent awareness of the mystery. Be content to contemplate the formless mystery unless and until something specific manifests. Even then, do not give too much attention to what arises. Do not actively seek to understand. Do not allow any verbal commentary to activate your thinking mind. Sink into deeper and deeper states of quietude in which you sustain awareness of the mysterious domain that opens in your mind, which corresponds to the crystal in your hands.
In this meditation, the sphere which you are holding will make it possible for you to contemplate the mystery of an archetypal domain. It is not appropriate to bring any notions, mental information, questions or thoughts into this contemplation. Keep your mind-heart channel clear, and your intuition will be wide awake. Sustain interest in the mysterious domain with which you are in contact through holding this crystal sphere. Feel that the crystal you are holding is equivalent to a sacred primordial space of awareness and consciousness. Register both the physical sense of holding the crystal in your hands, and the corresponding mysterious space of awareness that arises in your mind.
This kind of meditation can lead in many directions. It is an excellent way to develop the capacity for crystal attunement.
