2013 CRYSTAL ACADEMY UPDATE


Dear Friends and Supporters of the Crystal Academy,

We can all take a sigh of relief that the end-of-the-world doom and gloom prophecies concerning December 21st 2012 have given way to a sense of new beginnings for us all. To be sure the 2012 winter solstice alignment happened. Our sun aligned with the center of our Milky Way Galaxy and higher cosmic frequencies had their soul subtle effects. We have indeed begun a new 26,000 solar year cycle. On the solstice I did a ceremony to link myself simultaneously to the center of the earth and the center of our galaxy. I felt more connected to creation than ever before.

I was watching my thoughts carefully during 2012 solstice transition, observing how my thinking had the power to create not only my feelings but also my physical behavior. As I meditated more deeply, I became aware that just as our sun is beginning a new solar cycle, we as human beings we are also at the beginning of a new SOUL cycle. The intentions, decisions, choices and actions that we make at this time will determine what karmic patterns we take into the next new cycle. We are commencing a new soular cycle as well as a solar cycle and setting the pattern for our next round of evolution as souls.

There has never been a more important time to look within to determine what is truly true and what is not. It is a time to consciously shift perspectives to more positive outlooks and let go of deep seeded thought patterns and behaviors that limit our potential as beings. We have no idea how powerful we are when we claim our birthright as light beings while honoring our physical journeys’ on this sacred planet of life.

Below this article are crystal grid photos built to welcome this new cycle made by two Crystal Academy teachers and myself.

At the beginning of 2012 I was contacted by my Chinese publisher to assist in creating a new version of Crystal Enlightenment (my first book). The original printing had sold out and we were interested in upgrading the book even further with more color photographs and diagrams of the written original layouts. In the fall the new edition was released to Chinese readers, complete with a new cover, which I love (shown below). It is interesting to me that Crystal Enlightenment was originally printed in the USA in 1985. Now that information is going to readers in China. Our Crystal Academy teacher Krize Chow is now teaching Crystal Healing Certification Courses in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Taiwan and I warmly welcome our new Chinese students to the Crystal Academy.

I am also very happy to announce that for the first time there are Crystal Academy Teachers in Australia and Canada. (See World-Wide Course Page for course dates). I am so happy to welcome our new Australian students, thank you Teachers Melisa Bell and Mark Crossland, and our new Canadian students, thank you Teacher Rhonda Gill. In 2013 there are 46 Crystal Healing Certification Courses scheduled. As you can see, the Crystal Academy continues to expand internationally as individuals world wide are enabled to learn how heal and raise consciousness with crystals.

I have chosen to step back from teaching in 2013 with the intention to self-nurture and spend more time with my family. The next ADVANCED Crystal Healing Certification Course on Kauai will be in 2014. I wish everyone a prosperous and uplifting year in this new 2013 cycle that we are all journeying on together.

With love,
Katrina Raphaell

SNEAK PEAK OF CHAPTER FOUR:

THE HIGH PHYSICAL BODY

THE CHARTRUESE RAY

In the basic practice of crystal healing, the solar plexus is considered a chakra unto itself creating a system where eight energy centers are used instead of the standard Vedic seven.  The solar plexus, home for the emotions, resides at the end of the sternum, right underneath the ribs, in the upper digestive track.  Unresolved and suppressed emotions are stored here.   Emotional clearing and healing is done with green stones like malachite and green aventurine.  From the deep forest of emerald to pale lime selenite, the green ray vibrates with healing energy and stimulates as well as comforts.

The color for the navel chakra is yellow.  It is here that physical manifestation begins for everyone, as an embryo within the womb.  Yellow is the power of pure creation.  It is like the sun, life giving, vibrant, radiant and powerful.  Yellow represents courage and the willingness to take action.  It also relates to the high intellect and the ability to plan events or think through new inventions.  It is active, creative and able to materialize.

Yellow is one of the three primary colors.  Green is a secondary color, made from yellow and blue, another primary color.  The color that activates the High Physical Body is chartreuse, a perfect combination of yellow and green.  Since green already contains a yellow ray, this special combination of chartreuse equals two yellows and one blue.  The double yellow ray is one of the vital factors in activating the High Physical Body.

Chartreuse is the color that is seen in fresh young plant growth.  Within new shoots of flora, the primal life force is strong and vital.  This is one of the reasons why being outdoors in nature can be so invigorating.  Besides the available oxygen, green plant life elevates the spirit and allows the aura to expand, resulting in a better sense of well being. Engaging in physical activity while in a natural green environment will result in greater physical health.

When working with the chartreuse ray, there is potential to link into the power of the life force itself and express it in your own vitality.  Chartreuse is like pure energy spiraling outwards into the physical world.  This potency, when factored into the use of chartreuse at the High Physical Body, can consciously be used to activate personal will and develop more conscious control.

More than any other color combination, this exact blending of yellow and green assists the body to strengthen its physical immunities.   It also helps build immunity in the emotional body.  In other words, working with chartreuse stones can help build personal immunity to old physical and emotional reactionary patterns previously programmed into the solar plexus. 

To be in a state of “High Physical” implies that the human body is well taken care of and maintained as a strong physical vehicle. Full time residency in the High Physical Body occurs when the chartreuse ray has been infused throughout the subtle spiritual circuitry in the solar plexus and navel, positively effecting physical, emotional and energetic well being. 

Embodying a state of High Physical presence means that you no longer need to be limited by the laws of the physical plane.  Instead you learn to work with the greater spiritual laws that govern those physical laws.  In the spiritual world, ordinary rules of time and space don’t apply, synchronicity becomes a common day occurrence and miracles are much more likely to happen.  This is the blessed sanctioning of personal will with divine will as the High Physical Body is birthed.

In a state of High Physical, events that were previously perceived as insurmountable obstacles can become stimulating challenges.  Old emotional reactions are consciously shifted and new patterns of response are demonstrated in positive choices being made in everyday matters.  With the awareness of chartreuse riding on the breath, the connection to inner knowing can be secured in every moment.

Chartreuse inspires life force to manifest into form.  Working together with the High Mind and High Heart, the High Physical Body literally creates positive life force on physical and emotional levels.  This vital force, immune to negative energy from old emotional patterning, promotes positive action.  As the High Physical body is stimulated, the chartreuse ray literally increases charisma and magnetism in your aura.
