Nature’s Treasures – Your Friend in the Digital Age

By Jeannie Smith, BCTMB, CCH, MMP, CPLC, TAM

What is EMF?  EMF or electromagnetic fields  are areas of moving electrical charges. 

Some types of electromagnetic fields, especially those using ionizing radiation, can be detrimental to our health.  For most people, EMF exposure occurs on a daily basis because these fields are virtually everywhere.  It’s a peril of modern living that our grandparents most likely weren’t exposed to.  EMF can be natural, like a thunderstorm, or manufactured, like radio frequencies, microwaves, and Wi-Fi.  Where a frequency falls on a spectrum depends on the length of the wave and the frequency.  There is some research showing that too much exposure to EMF can cause health problems like trouble sleeping, feeling tired, or brain fog.

There are two types of EMF, those that can break chemical bonds, and those that cannot. 

Ionizing radiation-has higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. This type of radiation can remove electrons from atoms including human tissue cells.  This type of radiation can break chemical bonds which creates free radicals which lead to oxidative stress. 

Visible light can be found around the middle of the spectrum, which is the dividing line between ionizing and nonionizing radiation.  Nonionizing radiation– has a longer wavelength and a lower frequency.  It cannot break chemical bonds. 

Tech devices have become a component of our daily living, their negative effects on our bodies has been well documented, particularly on our nervous system.  Electromagnetic fields have various chemical effects on the human body including free radical concentrations and can cause oxidative stress on many tissues of the body.  Exposure to EMF can cause an increase in free radical concentrations and affect the oxidative stress on antioxidant systems.  We are constantly exposed to EMF and the concern for increasingly harmful effects is a modern concern.  In this environment, crystals have become quite popular as a means of defense against these electromagnetic fields.  Natural stones that have been a part of the earth for thousands of years and are now being considered as a possible shield against  these electromagnetic fields.

CRYSTAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EMF PROTECTION

SHUNGITE-rich in carbon fullerenes, in fact 98% carbon and is believed to be 2 billion years old.  These microscopic fullerenes act as a shield against electromagnetic fields.  A pyramid made out of shungite can help defend an entire room from these fields.

HEMATITE-rich in iron, it is a good grounding crystal. It is great to place near your workstation when you have an abundance of technology.  Hematite also has blood cleansing properties and can clear your body of toxins.  You may consider a hematite bracelet for this purpose.  Hematite can be a mineral shield to protect us from the frequencies emitted by our devices. 

BLACK TOURMALINE-one of my favorite grounding crystals that I think everyone should have in their collection.  Because this crystal is electrically conductive, it can help to neutralize toxic frequencies from our gadgets.  It’s constantly emitting negative ions because it is piezo-electric which can neutralize the oxidative stress caused by our technology.  Black tourmaline can also stabilize our body’s own electric field

PYRITE-geologically a mix of iron and sulfur, pyrite can reflect unwanted electromagnetic waves in the way that it reflects light.  Pyrite can also give you an energetic boost when you need an edge when working with technology. A nice pyrite cluster beside your workstation would be a great addition.

RAINBOW FLOURITE-believed to enhance the energy field of humans.  If you are sensitive to EMF, place flourite around your computer monitor to help with this.  You can also wear a rainbow flourite necklace or pendant to give you a constant flow of creativity and focus.  Be sure to cleanse with flourite regularly as it can absorb negative frequencies.

CITRINE– has unique energetic properties that not only clear negative frequencies but can also transmute them into positive ones.  Carrying a piece of citrine is like having a ray of sunshine in your pocket.  Citrine is a great crystal to use as it can help repair the body from EMF damage but can also absorb negativity.

ROSE QUARTZ-deeply cleansing at heart, rose quartz is a protective force that can fill a space with positive energy once it is cleared.  It is also a natural blood cleanser and can flush out toxins to leave you recharged and ready for the world.  A rose quartz bracelet would be a good use for this rejuvenating crystal.

SMOKEY QUARTZ– in the realm of EMF protection, smokey quartz is a natural filter that not only absorbs but transmutes electromagnetic frequencies from our devices to restore balance and clarity.  Place a smokey quartz cluster near your computer to transform and transmute negative frequencies.

AMAZONITE– provides powerful EMF protection because of its shielding properties.  It is also good at filtering out stress and can guard against electromagnetic smog.  You could place an amazonite palm stone near your computer or wear a  pendant or bracelet.

BONUS – ORGONE PYRAMIDS

Orgone pyramids combine ancient wisdom with modern technology, combining crystals, resin and minerals.  Crystals are chosen for these pyramids for their specific energetic qualities to balance the energy fields around us.  Orgone pyramids work because the resin compresses the materials, and that piezo-electric effect causes the pyramid to emit a constant flow of negative ions that can neutralize toxic electromagnetic frequencies.  Since they are in a constant state of compression, they are always emitting these negative ions.  Try using orgone pyramids that contain crystals listed above to help promote grounding, stability and protection.

Science continues to explore the capabilities of crystals for EMF protection.  The use of crystals for EMF protection is a personal and intuitive process. The inclusion of crystals in your life can be part of a holistic approach to your wellbeing.  Along with crystals, consider incorporating mindfulness with a balanced lifestyle and a connection to nature to enrich your overall quality of life.  I encourage you to keep an open mind, to keep exploring and learning and let the natural energies of crystals uplift and enhance your journey in this digital age.
