healing
In healing centers in Atlantis, skilled practitioners used crystals, pyramids, sound, colors, and their minds to stimulate the patient’s own healing process and provide relief from dis-ease. People still practice these ancient methods in remote areas because they work for them.
In a small room during a conference at the Edgar Cayce Institute in Virginia Beach, I watched a Native American healer use a quartz crystal, sound, and healing energy from his hands to calm a young man who was having a seizure. For sound, he first blew on a small shell flute from prehistoric Peru, and then he filled the room with low, vibrating tones from a didgeridoo, the long flute-like instruments the Australian aborigines play to evoke Dreamtime.
I worked in Atlantis as a healer for many lifetimes. I remember that I worked with crystals in conjunction with light and sound, maybe some music as well. In this lifetime I retain some of my healing skills from those past lives, for as a young adult, I became aware that I had healing abilities that I can project out through my eyes.
To heal, I put my left hand on the person’s body above an injury nearest to the heart and my right hand below the problem. Then I stare at the injury. My field of vision goes sort of milky white but in the center of it is an absolutely clear space about three inches in diameter that is focused on the injury. As I look at it, my vision goes further into the body and I began to see the circulatory system like a thousand tiny little red rivers running in all directions. Then, as I continue to look at the injury, I go further into the body and I can see a brown shadow where the injury or infection is. Then I step up the energy coming out of my eyes (and the inner corners of my eyes sort of tickle with the energy). As I focus on the infection, I can hear snapping and popping, just like popcorn. The infection is being vaporized by this energy. People usually say they feel heat when I work on them.
For a bone injury, I imagine lots of little molecules of bone and I summon them to the end of the bone to assist in the healing. I worked on a friend from a bank who broke her wrist in six places in a car accident. She had two rods bored into her hand and two into her forearm with long supporting rods in between to stabilize her wrist with its broken bones. I visited her once a week to give her a twenty-minute treatment. When she went back for a checkup her doctor said, “Now we can set you up for physical therapy.” “How much would that cost?” she asked. “Oh, about $11,000.” “Forget it!” she said, and her doctor was angry with her. However, when she went back for her first x-ray, he was amazed at how fast the wrist had healed. I laughed with delight. “Did you tell him what the two of us had been doing to heal your wrist?” “No, of course not!” In any case I go to see her in the bank now and then and see her typing away just as well as if she never had an injury. I am truly amazed and grateful that I could help her.

Although crystals cannot generate energy, they do have the ability to move and transform it, and perhaps to retain it. Navaho healers realize this and utilize crystals to amplify and focus their beneficial energies toward their patients. Just as crystals are used in radios, televisions, and computers to continue the flow of electric energy, so they are capable of assisting the human body. Each of our cells has a small electrical charge that makes us a moving mass of energy, connected to and interacting with the energy that surrounds us. What we think and feel is transmitted along our vast electrical network of nerve cells. Imbalance in the vibrations from the cells of our bodies can lead to dis-ease or illness. Quartz crystals can be very helpful in healing since they assist in improving communication between the cells.
Quartz crystals are formed as silicon cools after it is ejected from the center of the Earth. They were abundant in Mu and Atlantis, where the first soil was formed from the lava and rocks of erupting volcanoes, or from materials spurted from rifts in the ocean floor where tectonic plates separated.
Three months ago a very powerful clairvoyant told me that I was a healer from Atlantis. I’ve always been fascinated by crystals and gem stones. I believe this was the source of their (our) power, I am not sure how we used them but I can feel that we did.

Numerous souls who were healers in Atlantis have returned to the Earth, and many of them are skillful practitioners, successfully utilizing techniques from prior lifetimes involving crystals.
I am a spiritual healer, and as such heal all debilitating disorders, from broken bones to ALS. I have been blessed with not having the “veil of forgetfulness”—I remember all that I have done in past lives. The energy of Hermes Trismegistus was in three of those lives. This energy did in fact do many things throughout the period of Lemuria, Taucadia, and Atlantis, or as I know it, the Red Land. . . . The energy that I connect to does the healing and I only direct that love and energy.

I use tuning forks to balance energy and unblock chakras. I have some new crystals and the results are phenomenal. My trainer says I was a healer in Atlantis.
—rev. evelyn urban-wern, m.ed.182
Evelyn is an energy healer who believes the basis of all disease and sickness is a result of an imbalance or interference with the life force energy system over a period of time. When she works with a patient, using techniques from Atlantean days, she facilitates the flow of energy through the body from the top of the head to the tips of the toes and fingers. If any blockages occur, she clears and directs the natural flow of the energy using special crystals. The benefits one can realize from the experience include greater love, improved health, soul growth, and heightened awareness, all of which will assist in the fulfillment of one’s goals.
Using quartz crystals we are very successfully aligning our patients’ chakras and helping them with physical and mental problems.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means “wheel of fire” or “wheel of light.” It refers to the seven major energy centers in our bodies. The concept of chakras, which dates back to the healers of Lemuria and Atlantis, survived or was perceived again in Egypt, India, Tibet, and among the Maya in Mexico. In the Taoist philosophy, the chakras are related to the seven ductless glands of the body’s endocrine system, and they affect all levels of our being.183 In the earliest civilization of Atlantis, people wore clothing to protect their chakras, for they believed that covering their body ensured that the power of the energy centers would stay with them.184
When I heal, I place myself in that energy and thus I see the chakras and other areas of the body. I may see the chakras as a spiral, a flower opening, or as a vibrating color. They are a gateway to the universe of the body, waiting to be explored. How they spin, how close together the lines of vibration are—how balanced or crooked they are, all these are indicators of wholeness or illness.

Each of the individual chakra centers is associated with certain physical, emotional, and intellectual or spiritual functions, and each has a different color, sound, and vibration. If one of these wheels of energy is unbalanced, the body will be prone to a disorder.185 One of the most interesting chakras, which is also referred to as the third eye, is in the center of the forehead just above the eyes. Violet or very bright blue are associated with this center of our intuition. The third eye enables us to see another person’s energy aura—a colored field of light around the body. Modern technology is capable of photographing auras, but it is possible to learn to see them as colored, moving rays of energy. Early religious artists portrayed these auras or energy fields as bands of light around their subjects. Native Americans refer to auras as “sacred fires.” Reiki healers study the colors and the shapes of the aura to diagnose and heal physical and mental problems. When a person is under stress, his or her energy field shifts in color and shape, offering tips to the astute observer of the presence of fear, insecurity, greed, worry, and other deep troubles.186
When a person places a crystal over the third eye, if the stone is fully concentrated on, it seems to emit an energy that more or less will “pop” the third eye wide open. Your sixth sense becomes more active, your thoughts go into a subconscious awareness—more of a dreaming state, and you can feel the pressure on your third eye as it opens. This should not be forced too long, or you will get one splitting headache.
—carrie blakley187
The vision of the third eye opens us to the knowledge that one’s identity goes beyond the physical form. Some Native Americans wear a headband that holds a crystal or another stone over their third eye to connect the third eye with their crown chakra and increase their intuitive abilities.
To wear a stone over my third eye, I make a wire wrap of the stone, just as I would do to make a pendant. With the wire, I make two broad loops on the back of the stone, then run a ribbon or a folded bandanna through those loops and tie it around my brow.

One healer reports that stones placed in the area of certain chakras are effective in relieving problems associated with them. She suggests that once a month, right before or immediately after a menstrual cycle, women place a crystal over the second chakra, in the lower abdominal regions just below the navel. She has found this helps to maintain an emotional balance, and seems to slow the flow of hormonal chemicals that contribute to premenstrual syndrome. This technique is also effective in relieving menopausal symptoms, which normally result from a lack of those hormones. In either case, a balancing seems to take place which includes a positive cleansing feeling.188
Indigo is the color associated with the crown chakra on the top of the head. The Chinese call its gland, which is the pituitary, the Gate of Heaven, perhaps because it is connected to the hypothalamus gland, which creates pleasure when stimulated. The crown chakra is the doorway to higher or cosmic forces. It influences all the energy centers and affects the central nervous system. Physicians often refer to the pituitary as the master gland because it coordinates numerous functions of the other endocrine glands.
Recalling valuable skills from their days in Atlantis, healers employ quartz crystals to focus during meditation and facilitate the natural movement of vibrations through the body. As the stones receive energy from the mind of the healer, they enhance and move the rhythm throughout the body of the patient, just as they transmit energy in computers. The blockages which are the result of dis-ease and depression diminish, the natural flow of energy improves, and the immune system grows stronger.
A typical healing ceremony in Atlantis might have followed a similar pattern. Large crystals were positioned so as to absorb and disperse positive forces to the patient. The caregiver placed the crystals at the head, feet, and sides of the person, who lay on a low couch or sat on the floor in a cross-legged, seated position. The person held an additional crystal in each hand while the healer thoughtfully arranged more of the sparkling stones on the top of the recipient’s head (the most important site), the navel, on the third eye, and on other receptive areas of the disordered body. Friends who were present concentrated on meditating to send intense love and healing energy through the crystals, which expanded it and conveyed it to the recipient.189
A variety of factors influence the potency of crystals. It is important to clean them prior to use. Putting the stone in a bowl of soapy water in direct sunlight for three days is quite effective. A simpler approach, which takes only a few minutes, is to place the crystal in a dish of distilled water or spring water that contains several drops of pennyroyal flower essence.190 The color of the crystal is also important. Quartz crystal is usually colorless, but if the cooling lava contained metallic dust, the crystal will be colored.
In Atlantis, healers employed the rose quartz in spa treatments, and people used it in their daily lives. They usually went to a medicine priest who helped perform the “ritual” of concentration, so they would use the stone properly.

Rose quartz is pink, purple quartz is called amethyst, and yellow quartz is referred to as citrine. Rose quartz works best on the heart, the center of the head near the third eye, and other pulse areas of the body. It is most effective in treatment for emotional instability, rather than for physical problems. For this reason it is referred to as the “love quartz.” When it is properly used, the rose quartz brings on feelings of tranquillity, inner peace, and harmonic balance. These are similar to the sensations people experience when they encounter true (not just sexual) love.191 Rose quartz has inclusions of titanium dioxide, which is white, and iron oxide, which contributes the red color. The iron content is affected by magnetism and may enhance the energy of a person’s thoughts and be responsible for the pleasant “love” frequency.
The color of smoky quartz crystals ranges from a light sky gray to a dark charcoal gray. Like the black onyx, smoky crystals help us to recall blocked memories of unpleasant events. They assist in ejecting the negative vibrations of these disagreeable experiences from our minds and bodies and create a space inside so we may heal ourselves. Smoky quartz crystals are also effective in treating postpartum depression and other mild cases of “the blues.” Since the energy emitted from smoky quartz crystals may have unanticipated effects on the user or on the patient, a skilled healer is recommended. One should not attempt self-application of the smoky quartz crystal.192
Clear quartz crystals are the most powerful crystals in healing and meditation. With clear quartz it is possible to adjust the body’s energies in a relatively short period of time and more quickly achieve a high state of mental and spiritual awareness. To encourage the most complete equilibrium, skillful healers enhance the ceremony with chanting or music. Candle light and the odor of burning amber, copal, moldavite, and frankincense are also effective in helping the patient to relax, to be receptive to the healing, and to remember how it feels to be healthy. The experience increases the patient’s faith that this event will help him or her to regain health; it is well known that strong belief can heal.
Cayce suggests wearing a crystal; not just as a good luck piece, but because it has a helpful influence on the body’s vibrations.193 Some healers recommend placing a clear quartz crystal on the crown of your head, for they believe the stone will pick up the electromagnetic frequencies of the brain and balance and realign it. A crystal under your pillow is thought to stimulate pleasant dreaming and peaceful sleep. A quartz crystal in the center of a garden may promote stronger plants.
Crystals served Atlanteans as healing tools in a variety of other ways.
Walls and ceilings of Atlantean birthing rooms were inlaid with sparkling green crystals, providing a beautiful sight and feeling to a being as it entered the world.
—herma waldthausen
Quartz crystals were helpful in diagnosis,194 a technique trained healers make use of today. As they move the stone slowly over a person’s body, its color changes slightly in a problem area. Hopi Blue Wolf says that with crystals his people are able to see the “spin of energy” coming from a person.
Many years ago, I experienced a “visit” to a crystal room in Atlantis. I think the room was circular, or the walls were arranged in a circular fashion. There was much light in the room, and I saw the ceiling was a dome. I am told I worked with crystals, light, color, and sound to heal and balance. This was about 15,700 b.c. In Atlantis, I apparently saved the lives of four women whose current names I have, but I have not crossed their paths as yet.

Several people remember crystal rooms in Atlantis. The rooms were located over soil that was rich in crystals and contained a variety of the helpful stones for use in healing and expanding the mind.
The ingenious Atlanteans used crystals to burn destructive forces from the body in a way that encouraged it to rejuvenate itself.195 This procedure was successfully performed in a secret rejuvenation chamber in a temple in the main city of Atlantis. While in the chamber, the patient reclined in a comfortable chair, and technicians precisely focused the sun’s rays through a crystal onto the elderly body. Simultaneously, the healers produced and magnified varied frequencies of sound, whose energy regenerated the tiny molecules of each cell, reactivating aging tissues. The operation restored the person’s hormone balance, wrinkles disappeared, and energy returned. Skill and caution were important, since if the crystal was tuned too high it destroyed the body.196 One visit was usually adequate, for Atlanteans learned that, as they grew older, like a vacation that is too long, events they once enjoyed offered less satisfaction when repeated several times. Eventually, the prospect of spending more time in the physical body was not as appealing as the pleasant experience that was to come after departure from the Earth.
Structures in the shape of a pyramid were common sights in Mu and Atlantis, and researchers have learned that a mysterious energy operates within these buildings. When investigators found ancient garbage and dead animals in the Great Pyramid at Giza, the age-old objects were fresh, not rotten. They did not smell and they appeared to be mummified. Researchers propose that, given the proper conditions, the energy of pyramids is capable of sharpening razor blades, improving the taste of tap water, stimulating plant growth and seed germination, recharging batteries, facilitating the healing process, and increasing vitality and virility.197
One important thing about the pyramid is its energy that works strongly on people’s karma, speeding it up, accelerating it, feeding it with energy. And so, for example, if one person needs to learn certain aspects of life (which karma is about), it might happen faster using pyramid energy. Which means he/she might lose a relationship. But look at this in a positive way—one might get a new relationship because the old one was not good. But it might mean that such a person, if he/she slept in the Queen’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid, could die shortly afterward, having completed that life’s karma in no time!

Lemurians and Atlanteans often built their temples in the shape of a pyramid, where energy channeled from the universe was more readily available. For additional power, they placed a powerful quartz crystal near or at the peak of the building. These were places to replenish and rebuild, for when one is in a meditative state in a pyramid it is possible to pick up the structure’s enhanced vibrations and restore one’s energy.198 The plans of many ancient Mayan cities reflect the knowledge that descendants of people from Mu and Atlantis who lived and worked here passed down to their offspring. The focal part of these cities consisted of four pyramids that faced a sacred central enclosed plaza. The buildings were placed to correspond with the sunrise and sunset of the summer and winter solstices. The Maya explain that their ancestors arranged their important buildings in this manner because that was how the gods did it when the world began.199
Presumably the position of the pyramids enhances the distribution of the energy these unusual shapes produce. An e-mail friend describes a dream of a similar complex. His vision depicted a large central plaza, formed by four pyramids arranged according to the four directions. In the center of the plaza stood a tower with a uniquely shaped crystal that collected energy from the universe and transmitted it to crystals on the tops of the four pyramids. He believed people in the buildings used the power from the crystals for healing.
The sensitive people of long ago understood that subtle forces from all realms exert influence on our minds and bodies, and they realized it was important to place buildings so as to take advantage of helpful energies from the Earth and the universe. To choose the most favorable location they utilized the science of feng shui or geomancy. The contours of the land, the location of underground streams, and the presence of other natural factors, such as crystals in the soil, were carefully considered for their influence on the energies resulting from the surrounding gravitational, electromagnetic, and electrostatic fields.200 Until recently feng shui was mainly practiced in the Far East, and it is enjoying a resurgence in our society.
Damanhur, a unique spiritual community of 800 people in the Valchiusella Valley in the alpine foothills of northern Italy, is based on Atlantean technology. The residents maintain that their ability to time travel to Atlantis has provided them with the information to construct this replica of life as it was so long ago in the lost land. In Damanhur, everyone lives around a huge circular cathedral and its beautiful grounds. A spectator who was allowed to film a six-hour video of Damanhur offers an accurate portrayal of ceremonies in this temple, in which music plays an important role. The building’s huge dome of sparkling quartz is arranged in a mosaic pattern, and when the sun shines through the crystal it spreads colorful rainbows around the interior of the cathedral.
A master technician, who claims she brought Reiki to Atlantis, recently taught me to be a healer. I know that five of us who work together here were together doing Reiki in Atlantis. Just as the technician was attuning me to Reiki for the first time, a vision came to me of a Temple of Healing in Atlantis. The five of us were on the east-facing porch looking toward the rising sun. After many thousands of years, it is happening again here.

Utilizing love and focused thought, Reiki healers send out energy from their head, heart, and palms to strengthen and encourage the inner electric frequencies of their patients and stimulate their healing process.
In addition I have personal memories of other lifetimes in Atlantis, of being a healer in the great healing temples. I worked primarily with Reiki energy and sound to balance the human body. Wonder of wonders, when I came here to this city I met a lady whom I remember from Atlantis as a fellow healer. She now is my own personal massage therapist. She remembers me from there also.

Musical tones radiate on various frequencies and, when combined with other forms of energy therapy such as Reiki, offer a more complete balancing. Taoism, as well as the martial arts, Druidism, Paganism, Wicca, Romany practice, Egyptian shamanism, and Amerindian shamanism combine musical tones with focused thoughts of love to treat their patients. This basic understanding was passed down to many of them from their ancestors.
The beginning of the crystal bowls was in Atlantis. There was one Being, a High Priest, who found that when he put together some crystalline sand material, it gave a very pure sound when he touched it, so he began to experiment with patients. . . . He sat people in the Crystal Temple near a quartz cluster and experimented with the bowl-like crystal.
—renee brodie201
Crystal bowls offer healers another source of sound to balance the body’s energy patterns. Made from silica sand, which is pure quartz, or from crushed and powdered quartz crystal, the bowls send forth a bell-like tone when they are struck with a rubber mallet. Depending on their construction, each bowl will produce a clear, open tone of the musical scale.
Scientific research has rediscovered that certain sound frequencies, or notes on a scale, relate to specific parts of the body. Dr. William Tiller of Stanford University asserts that “each atom and molecule, cell and gland in our body has a characteristic frequency.”202 The note F will benefit the lungs; G the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and stomach; and C the base of the spine.203 In healing ceremonies, crystal bowls are struck simultaneously or in a sequence while the therapist focuses on clearing away unwanted energies and restoring balance to the afflicted area.
Sounds lift the vibrational quality of this planet; sound alone has the power to heal as well as to create, to manifest, to bring into being.
—anonymous
Tuning forks and crystal bowls are not the only way evolved healers have used sound since the time of Atlantis to enhance healing vibrations. Musical tones and group songs, drum beats, and repetitious vowels, such as Ooommmm, Ahhhhh, and Huuuu, all arouse the emotions and open the chakras and the glands of the endocrine system.
The flow of energy from the cells of our body is referred to as the bioplasmic body. Acupuncture, yoga, polarity therapy, and psychic healing all manipulate the energy flow of the bioplasmic body, and are beneficial in improving physical health. Edgar Cayce suggests two pseudo-electrical healing devices, the Radial-Active Appliance and the Wet Cell Appliance, for working with the electrical energy in the body. Many believe his detailed instructions for the construction and use of these tools originated in Atlantis, where the healers understood that our cells contained an important electrical component. Both instruments balance and rejuvenate the neurological system at a cellular level.
Skilled practitioners successfully use these devices today, enhancing them with massage or osteopathic manipulation and dietary improvement.204 Cayce also suggests including prayer in the treatments. The Radial-Active Appliance is recommended for insomnia and headaches, and the Wet Cell Appliance, which is stronger and produces a minute voltage, has produced improvement in the treatment of multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, paralysis, and Parkinson’s disease.205
I had a vision of going back into Atlantis. I visited my home in the hills above the temple, and saw my father at work in the halls of the Senate . . . then walked down to the dock at our own bay, watched and laughed as my grandfather played with his pet dolphins and swam with me in the warm waters. My grandfather and I walked hand in hand along the sand till supper time at our house . . . sat by the fire and watched and sang as the sunset came. He stayed with me for a while under the many-starred heavens.
—anonymous
Dolphins, so plentiful in Mu and Atlantis, are a potential source of healing energy. Plato tells us that gold statues of dolphins, with graceful sea nymphs riding on their backs, surrounded the gigantic statue of the god Poseidon standing on a chariot in the Temple of Poseidon in the main city of Atlantis. Innumerable dolphins lived in the waters around the island, and the people regarded them as special pets.206
Researchers using EEGs learned that people who spend time with dolphins experience an increase in theta waves, which indicates that they have entered a deeply peaceful state, similar to one achieved in meditation. Intimacy with dolphins also expands the body’s ability to produce and utilize neurotransmitters such as dopamine, which may affect the entire endocrine system.207
Atlanteans probably knew and enjoyed the additional therapeutic effects of the compassionate nature of dolphins. Healing comes from within ourselves and when people are with dolphins they cannot help but react with the same feelings of acceptance and unconditional love the animals project. Spending time with dolphins also boosts levels of immunoglobulins and T-killer cells, thus strengthening the ability of our bodies to resist dis-ease. Dolphin contact has helped people with severe depression to improve their self-esteem and outlook on life.208 Most of us do not have the opportunity to swim and communicate with dolphins as the Atlanteans did, but we do have the privilege of seeking out the healers who have returned to share their unique skills with us.
