Vogel Crystals for Healing: Beyond the Hype, Real Transformation No one is exempt from trauma. We develop hard-wired negative patterns early in life that manifest across our relationships, health, and finances from self protection.Judgement is not invited into this realm, as you are whole, but the body feels fragemented by leaking its energy and power. Typical attempts to change these, like taking courses or going on diets, fail because they only address the issue on 1-2 levels when it may be present across multiple layers - from our DNA to our nervous system.The key is to work at the quantum level to uncover the root blocks and their potential for positive transformation. By bringing light to these shadows and supporting the shifts with neurological, energetic and genetic repatterning, we can truly transform and release the old pain patterns.So….HOW DO CRYSTALS EXPEDITE HEALING?No Hype. Vogel Crystals are NOT like other Crystals…They are Immensely Transformative due to their integrity and way they are cut.BUT, only when you can identify the root - otherwise we end up spinning in "fixing ourselves."That's where the Crystal Clear Healing sessions at Beauty Ecology come into play. These processes don't give you things to-do - it will rewire how you work on all 7 layers (physical, emotional, mental, pranic, genetic, holographic, and quantum).GOOD NEWS, for those being called to shift out of the old self as the new earth is initiating itself, I am now offering a deeply healing and innovative offer utilizing a profound Vogel Crystal and Tuning Fork Session at my Spa/Salon. I'm obsessed. I've had incredible downloads in my personal and professional life since I've been utilizing Vogel Crystals strategically. My mission on earth is to free others from conditioning and giving away their power. When you learn the power of frequency in structured water, combined with intention ….. you BECOME more light, which invites in heightened intuition and deep healing. HIT PLAY…. and here's a few cliff notes.Vogel's are instruments that serve to store, amplify, convert and cohere subtle energies alike.Vogel wands reflect the alchemical transmutation of "as above, so below".With conscious caring and intent it enables a crystal to find its true and optimum ability to transmit and amplify energy.Marcel Vogel believed the real origin of illness is in the Etheric body that holds the memory of physical or emotional injury and can become stagnant, distorted or stuck, resulting in illness.The Vogel Crystals are the thread in healing that ties together energy, illness, and the problems in the Etheric body.When light from the higher realms comes into a person's body, it can get refracted when Etheric body is not stable, resulting to illness.I often talk about “telepathy, intuition and psychic senses” to be a direct correlation to the amount of light coming into the crown chakra, and dispersing through the nervous system. Here's a example: When working with clients, if there is trauma and distortion, I see the auric body with dull color and lifeless - unable to have clear communication in healing the mind, body and soul.Therefore, the Vogel cut crystal gives immediate access to the Etheric body and stabilizes it, bring it back to optimum condition, even when there is physical or emotional trauma.If you're interested in supporting yourself further through the power of light - feel free to hit reply!Love Kassandra Get full access to The Light Between at thelightbetween.substack.com/subscribe
