In today’s roll of my dice in Gyan Chaupar journey of wisdom, I landed on Minerals.
The word mineral comes from the 15th century, meaning a material that is neither animal nor plant. Over time, it evolved to represent inorganic substances that occur naturally, with their own distinct structure. This understanding links us to ancient wisdom, where minerals, like mineral water, were seen as holding natural powers for healing.
After a deep meditative pause last week, I’m reminded of the mystical nature of crystals and minerals. Minerals are not just solid physical substances; they are the very building blocks of Earth, carry an energy that resonates with the very fabric of existence, holding an energy that connects us to the universe.
Minerals, in their raw form, are charged with natural order. They are the Earth’s own structure, aligning and balancing the elements of life. Crystals, a form of mineral, emerge from this structured order, and their energy fields are formed through geometric patterns. These vibrations can be felt—often when walking on crystals or meditating with them—raising our consciousness and connecting us to a higher state of awareness.
Though inorganic and not made from living tissue, crystals resonate at specific frequencies, much like the Earth itself. They serve as conduits of energy, linking us to the core of our planet. Each mineral and crystal vibrates in harmony with the natural world, aligning with the frequencies of our own bodies and the greater cosmic forces.
Could these frequencies be part of our healing? Perhaps like the Earth, which is a living, breathing entity, the minerals and crystals that compose it carry the ability to restore, recalibrate, and heal. The Earth, vibrating with sacred geometry through the minerals within it, is in continuous flux and resonance with all life. Could the same resonance be what heals us on a subtle, energetic level?
As we interact with minerals, we are reminded of our intimate connection with the Earth. We are not separate from it; we are an extension of its vibrations, its energy. Crystals, with their ability to vibrate at specific frequencies, may hold the key to unlocking the frequencies within ourselves, helping us realign with the divine energy that surrounds us.
Minerals and crystals, in their ancient wisdom, carry within them the keys to unlocking universal healing. We are part of this cosmic resonance, and when we tune in, we become aware of how closely we are connected to the heartbeat of the Earth.

4 thoughts on Minerals
From Shirley MacLaine
Crystals amplify the consciousness.
From Annie Dillard
Crystals grew inside rock like arithmetic flowers. They lengthened and spread, added plane to plane in an awed and perfect obedience to an absolute geometry that even stones - maybe only the stones - understood.
From J. Paul Getty
The meek shall inherit the Earth, but not its mineral rights.
From Janice Dickinson
And I will never, ever respond to anybody - man, woman, vegetable, or mineral - who tells me to keep my mouth shut.

What comes to your mind when you think of a mineral?
Is there a crystal you feel attracted to, and if so, why?
Much love
