Long ago I realised that whenever I do a talk or presentation on how to work with the mineral kingdom, it's vital to also have crystals available to look at, sense, or purchase. My job is then made so much easier! I may do the human 'talking', but its the energy of the crystals which speaks for itself during the presentation without my having to do anything at all. The crystals want to be seen, to be admired, sensed, and to be worked with. Indeed, a certain piece may have already set its sights on a specific member of the audience whom the crystal is well aware is going to take it home as they both have a job to do together.
However, I don't display all crystals at a talk or fairs. Certain crystals can be very potent and 'serious' so I keep these for training purposes only; for those who are on a conscious path of development and can handle the energy.
I recently ran a retreat at a spiritual centre at which I also gave a talk to the wider community. During the talk I had a table of crystals for attendees to look at, sense, and buy from, should they wish. Normally the table is right by me, so I have some awareness of what's happening energetically, in case something feels too much for someone. Because of the layout of this room though, the table was on the far wall. I felt this community were more spiritually and energetically aware so I thought at the time this was okay.
Before the talk began a crowd eagerly gathered round the table of crystals, and again, once the talk was over, a big crowd surged around the table. They clearly loved their crystals, which was wonderful to see.

However, later on, I was approached by a couple of individuals saying they did not feel 'quite right' who had been at the talk. I asked what they meant, and then checked if they had been picking up many crystals. Each person had picked up quite a few it turned out. I quickly sensed what was wrong. They had been working with too many different energies, one after the other, and because they were naturally much more sensitive, this had affected their energy fields, and brought stuff 'up'. It was the equivalent of going on a bit of an energetic Roller Coaster, tuning in to all the different crystals. I cleared and grounded both of their energy fields. Afterwards they both felt and looked much better and their energy fields were now flowing again. This experience has made me seriously considering putting up a 'Warning!' sign at talks and fairs about handling too many crystals one after the other, and especially about placing them on the chakras without knowing what you are doing!
To someone who does not understand how the mineral kingdom works, or believes that all crystals are just 'good' to have with us this may come as a surprise. Crystals are not good, nor are they bad, they just 'are'. They are neutral. Each crystal carries a vibration or an energy that is unique to it. It just does what it does. There is no point complaining that ever since you brought a certain crystal into your home, that your life has been turned upside down, that you have endless arguments, or that you aren't sleeping. It's not the fault of the crystal, it's usually just because there is a lack of awareness of the vibration it carries. For example, clear quartz is an energiser, so in the bedroom or by the bed, it will very likely disturb your sleep. Black Tourmaline ('Schorl') if worn on the person (which I don't ever recommend), will attract negativity to us, to us anything that we have not yet resolved within ourselves, in the form of negativity, such as bad feelings and arguments (unless we are 'squeaky clean' most of us still get annoyed by something, even if its just someone jumping the queue in a traffic jam!). Other very profound crystals can work from a 'soul' level and instigate great change in our lives, as the crystal seeks to put us closer to who we really are. This may seem wonderful from a 'higher self' perspective, but 'down here' from a human perspective, this can be a nightmare, with constant change occurring at a rapid pace without any opportunity to integrate any of it. The best way to discover if a crystal is responsible for how you are feeling, or for things happening in your life, is simply to take the crystal out of the equation for a while. Pack it away in a box, put it in the cupboard or the shed outside, and then wait a few weeks and compare how your life is then. If you find your life becomes calmer, you feel more centred, or are sleeping much better then you have your probable cause! Please, if you decide you no longer want the crystal, always pass it on to a good home. You could put a thought out for the right person to arrive to take the crystal from you who is able to work with it and they will surely come into your life (you could ask the crystal to help attract them). Alternatively it could just be that you're using the crystal in the wrong way. Schorl worn on the person may attract negativity to you, and have a negative impact upon your relationships and life in general, but, if told what to do, and placed by your wireless, or on your laptop/mobile phone it will do a great job in absorbing any of the electromagnetic rubbish so you don't have to! There can also be instances that crystals may cause disturbances for other reasons. Often they just need cleansing energetically, or have had previous owners who have put their 'programming' into the crystals and this needs to be erased.
It's really important to stress that the energy of crystals is 'real' and just because we may not 'see' with our eyes how they are affecting us (instead we may feel it, or just 'know'), does not mean that they are not having a huge impact. This is why a serious professional long-term training with crystals (of a minimum of two years) is so important before working with them on others. To place a crystal within the energy field of another human being carries an enormous responsibility. A proper training helps to ensure that you will be coming from at the very least, a place of least harm when you do this, and you never know, you could potentially even truly help that person proceed on their life path!
