Crystal Healing & Numbers

Crystal healing is more than pointing stones at people. Crystal healing is the use of the mineral kingdom for holistic health. Holistic refers to the whole person, but this can be categorized into four main areas.  Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. These distinct but unified aspects form our experience, in the same way earth, water, air and fire combine to form matter.   

"Number is within all things." Attributed to Pythagoras The Greek mathematical philosophers called six the Perfection of Parts, since six is the only number that is both the sum and the product of the same three numbers. (1+2+3=6, 1x2x3=6) Those numbers that six can be divided by (1,2, and 3), are the only set of numbers where each number divides the sum of the other two. Six is the only number other than ten that can be formed by the multiplication of two different factors other than 1. (6=2x3, 10 =2x5).

But how do these mathematical properties translate to the world around us? Why is 6 material perfection? Let's ask a bee.  

One thing we can see from this is that 6 is efficient. As a number it can do lots of "stuff" extremely well - this holds true when we "see" 6 in action. The optimum number of spokes (i.e. fastest) on racing bicycles was found to be 36 (6x6). Bees found a pot with 6 sides held the most honey with the minimum effort and materials. Industry uses hexagonal storage systems because it is the most efficient. This is 6 as perfect function. The the circle is considered most perfectly segmented and measured at 360 degrees - 6 as perfect structure. Time is dissected into multiples of 6 - 1 minute = 60 seconds, 60 minutes 1 hour, 24 hours 1 day - perfect order. Amazingly, these principle maintain true at the universal level and its ratios displayed on a planetary level..

Much of the electronics industry is based on the qualities of the close-packed silicon atoms of quartz arranged in hexagons. The piezoelectric nature of quartz means pressure yields electricity and electric currents yield regular mechanical pulses, hence, the quartz watch. This indicates that even in the most modern sense, the quality of 6, the Greek Hexad, is associated with perfect order and timekeeping. 

Write the number 6, draw hexagons, draw circles and arrange them in patterns of 6, count angles and look for 6 in nature - we are surrounded by information about the archetype, essential nature, of 6 if we know how to look. When we have a feel for the "quality", not quantity of 6, we will be learning to see crystals in harmony with cosmic design, and best understand their and our place in it.
