GLOSSARY

Aura: the organized, subtle biomagnetic sheath that surrounds the physical body and the Earth

Biomagnetic: the magnetic field created by a living organism, or the effect of a magnetic field on an organism

Bioscalar waves: a standing energy field created when two electromagnetic fields counteract each other. It directly influences tissue at the microscopic level, bringing about healing balance. Bioscalar waves support cell membranes in manifesting the most beneficial genetic potential. They enhance the immune and endocrine systems, improve the coherence of the biomagnetic field and support healing at all levels.

Biosphere: all the Earth’s ecosystems as a single, self-sustaining unit

Cellular memory: the memory within cells of previous or ancestral attitudes, trauma and patterns that have become deeply ingrained as on-going negative programs that create dis-ease or are replayed in the present in slightly different forms

Chakra: an energy linkage point between the physical and subtle bodies. Malfunction leads to physical, emotional, mental or spiritual dis-ease or disturbance.

Crystal oversouls: Michael Eastwood’s name for beings that inhabit crystals and work from other dimensions. These beings communicate across space, time and distance and hold keys to our evolution that are activated when we make contact with the oversouls via the crystals.

Devas: nature and other spirits who care for the Earth

Earth healing: rectifying the distortion of the Earth’s energy field or meridian grid caused by pollution, electromagnetic interference and the destruction of its resources

Electromagnetic smog: a subtle but detectable electromagnetic field given off by power lines and electrical equipment that has an adverse effect on sensitive people

Etheric body: a subtle counterpart to the physical body that surrounds and interpenetrates it

Geopathic stress: earth and physiological stress resulting from subtle emanations and energy conflicts or disturbances from underground water, power lines, natural landscape features, negative earth energy and other subterranean events

Grid: the energetic geomagnetic templates encompassing the Earth that create a matrix around and interpenetrating it

Grounding: creating a strong connection between one’s soul, physical body and the Earth

Journeying: the experience of consciousness leaving the physical body and travelling to distant locations

Kundalini: inner, subtle spiritual and sexual energy that resides at the base of the spine and, awakened, rises to the crown chakra. Kundalini is also found in the Earth.

Layout: placing crystals in a pattern around a building, person or place for energy enhancement or protection

Magnifier: A crystal with a twist that amplifies and enhances energies and intent; what Robert Simmons calls a “vibrational turbo-charger”

Matrix: the bedrock on which crystals are formed. An energetic matrix also interpenetrates the planet.

Mental influences: effect of people’s thoughts and strong opinions on your mind or on the planet

Meridian: a subtle energy channel that runs close to the surface of the skin or of the globe

Psychogeology: Richard Allen’s term for the interplay between geology and human beings; how mind is shaped by geological processes

Qi: the life force that energizes the subtle and physical bodies and the planet

Subtle energy fields: invisible but detectable energy fields that surround all living beings

Sacred landscape: a place that evokes the sacred and resonates with our deeper selves

Self-healed: a crystal that has been cracked or fractured and that “grows” small points on the broken face

Spirit release: facilitating trapped or troubled spirits leaving the Earth-plane, releasing them to move to other dimensions

Telluric: energies generated by the Earth

Tumbled: a stone that has had its rough edges removed and its surface polished

Vortex: a whirling energy portal that may be electric, magnetic or electromagnetic. Strictly speaking the plural is vortices, but in earth-energy terms they are known as vortexes.
