Many people have struggled with their attempts to feel the vibrations of quartz and other stones.

When you hold a piece of quartz in your hands, you can either grab it with your palm or clutch it with the tips of 5 fingers. Personally, I favour using the five fingers to hold and feel the stone. Fingers are more sensitive to the feeling of vibrations.

And, the left hand is preferred ; I term the left hand as receiving and right hand as projecting.  And,  one explanation is that the right hemisphere of our brain, which control the left side of our body, relates to the the subjects on humanities, natural sciences,  metaphysics as against the left hemisphere which are more concerned with the hard sciences, physics, engineering,  mathematics and cold logic.

The first time you may not feel anything, just maybe just the touch of a cool object with its weight putting pressure on your fingers. Do not feel disheartened. It took me three months of holding my first piece of quartz day and night before I could feel it positively.

Do some centering exercise - I recommend deep breathing of three breathes in, hold at the count of three and three breathes out in a set of six. Close your eyes when you perform this balancing exercise. Or, take a piece of labradorite and hold it in your receiving left hand for 10 minutes before you touch the target stone. I can help my students by using my energy to open up their hand minor chakras to enable them to feel the stone better.

Now, when you start to feel the stone in your hand, you may first experience its temperature and its weight. That is normal. Close your eyes and relax, instead of trying to push your self so hard mentally. Next, you would find that the stone begins to stick to your fingers and there appears to be a suction effect adhering your fingers to the stone.

You may begin to feel some stirring sensations of the stone, and you suspect that you are feeling your own pulse rate. It is fine if you can feel your own pulse rate beating when holding your stone. At least, you are beginning to toddle in your first attempt.

Now, beyond the pulse rate, you may feel another level of vibration emitting from the stone which vibrates differently from your pulse beating rhythm. Sometimes, these vibrations are so faint that you scantly notice them. Most quartz which is properly cleansed, have the uplifted and lively vibrations which are distinctively different from your pulse rate or heart beat. Hold your attention longer to the vibrations of the quartz and they will become more accentuated until you feel them positively.

Some stones are light and some stones are heavy in vibrations. They normally follow the scale of the rainbow 7 colours - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet (or white). The red stones (including black and brown stones) have heaviest vibrations and the other stones progressively have lighter vibrations. I teach another method of feeling the stones using the chakra systems to sense them.

As a norm, stones , or even objects, which have negative vibrations are heavier in feeling. Remember that lower entities thrive in lower vibration realms - maybe they prefer the vibration of the lower scale red, orange or yellow. Their heavier vibrations are different from  those original coloured stones; the former have the repelling sensation, or even needle pricking pains, sometimes making your solar plexus churned uncomfortably while the later though heavy in feeling have the pleasant feeling upon our touch.

Next, to consider is the strength of vibrations. some stones are strong and some weak in their vibration frequency. Some are so strong that they seem to numb your hand upon touch, while some are so light you can hardly feel them. Normally, a stone that has been blessed or magnetised by chanting has a higher strength of vibrations; though some are naturally strong by their natural constitution. Meteorite originated stones have these natural robust vibrations and they are favoured stones for protecting against negativities.

I also teach the programming of stones which involves the discerning of the vibrations of emotion. I tell my students to hold each stone, one at a time, and try to project their thoughts into it. They are told to project a thought of a past happy event, and another a sad event. When they pick up these stones again to feel their vibrations, they notice that there is indeed a marked difference between the two. For the stone programmed with the happy memories, it is faster, lighter , livelier and more pleasant to touch whereas the one that encapsulated the unpleasant past has that heavier, slower and unpleasant vibes.  Some students may be moved to tears when they touch the unhappy stone.

Besides, feeling the vibrations at the finger tips, we can also get the resonance from the stone on other parts of our body. One is the effect on our chakras depending on the types and colour of the stones. But sometimes we may get the corresponding sensations in odd parts of our body like our shoulders, our  face or forehead or our legs.

I have also taught the method of transference of energy; students are asked to hold and feel the vibrations of the stone in their left hand and will these vibrations to their right hand. After some practice, they should be able to feel the same vibrations, albeit less prominently, on their right hands. This is a fundamental step to teach my student how to tap energy of stone with their left receiving hand and project it out via the right projecting hands for healing purpose.
