As a Gaia Method Earthways Healer, you learn to work within layers of the earth’s crystalline field. Three are below ground: the deep iron core; the liquid outer core, and the water that runs in the earth’s crust as rivers, aquifers, etc. These three layers are the energies that form quartz.

Most quartz forms in either igneous rock (formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava) or in environments with geothermal waters. It contains the creative energy of the Earth. It also has a consciousness, a collective field of awareness, an elemental energy. Moving to the surface of the Earth, the energies of the Mother become more crystalline in energy, as if she is using the creative energies of lava and water in their crystalline form and extending them around herself in a body of crystalline light.

The following is a channelling I received last year about crystal energy:

Crystals are encoded with the energy of creation. Used as transmitters, modifiers, harmonisers, and balancers, they regulate the crystalline energy of Human consciousness, especially when we, as humans, are aligned with the Earth’s purpose and Being. Crystals allow a certain vibration, or information frequency, to be transmitted through the airwaves to the receiver. Crystals formed as the Earth formed over millions of years and therefore hold the energetic memory of Earth’s creation. They are the perfect transmitters of that frequency.

Because we, too, are all made from the Earth, crystals help us anchor our higher awareness into the physical body, keeping us fully anchored in space and time, just as stone circles do in certain locations. If you were to imagine that you were a crystal, that inside you are crystalline. You could pick up the energy vibrations of the Earth, translating them into other frequencies which the mind, body and emotional bodies could receive. As a crystal, you would be in constant contact with every other crystal in the world and could petition your crystal family for extra help when needed, such as when you needed more clarity of purpose. Your crystal family would help and support your endeavours, especially when you are working deep in the layers of humanity and the Earth. The crystals keep us clearly focused on what we must do, and therefore, as long as we maintain that connection, all will be well. 

The Crystalline layers.

The first three layers, which are beneath the surface of the earth, are:

1) The Black Core of the Earth. This often appears as dense black and is the magnetic centre of the planet. In terms of the dragon dimension, this is represented by the Black Dragon and the black dragon lines, and is the domain of the red and black spider.

2) The Red Lava layer. This is the layer of fire energies, the liquid layer of the planet. The Red Dragon and the red energy lines are part of this layer and are also part of the red and black spider energies. Each layer works within other dimensions, each of which affects the other. The red and black energy lines are the red and black spider and form her lines of silken web. The twin energies of Earth’s creation, the twin dragons, are the creative energies of the lava and the core. Those energies can move to the surface of the Earth, like lava flowing from a volcano.

3) The Blue Water layer. This is the water that comes from above, and that has seeped deep into the earth, creating underground lakes and rivers. In the dragon dimension, the blue dragon is active here. It comes to the world as rain and soaks through the soil and rock, creating underground lakes and streams. It is a primal creative energy, but one that comes from the Earth’s atmosphere rather than from within the Earth itself. Like the infinity symbol, the blue dragon flows from the skies to the Earth and back again in a cycle. As underground water, the blue layer is also a creative energy. The combination of lava and water creates land.

Those are the primal, physical creation energies of the planet, from which all that we know is born. Once we arrive on the surface of the Earth, the frequencies change to crystalline frequencies. The physical manifestations of Earth’s creative forces.

4) The fourth band is Emerald (the Green Dragon in the Dragon dimension) and contains the surface of the earth and all its vegetation, including trees. It is the energy of growth, of life and all growing things. This is the band that still contains the creative energy of the lower three layers, but where it shifts to crystalline. It is as if the crystalline bands support the earth. The inner level energy expands into the outer levels. These higher frequencies are the energetic forces of the higher aspects of Mother Earth.

5) The Ruby layer. The layer of the Mother’s Divine Love is akin to her emotional body. The ruby band provides access to the crystalline love of Mother Earth, bringing it to earth in certain locations that serve as receptacles for this energy. The ruby/magenta energy then travels through the earth grid, connecting to other sites. It is a higher level of love that feeds and nurtures the world reminding us of the Mother’s Love.

6) At the upper edge of the ruby band, there is a thinner sapphire layer. This is the masculine energy of the Mother’s heart. It is an active principle with a more focused masculine intent. It provides a bridge between the Ruby and the next band, the Diamond.

7) The Diamond band. This is the layer of pure thought. It is a fifth-dimensional energy. It is the realm of NOW; of the present moment, where all things come into being. At this level, you exist outside time and space. Your thoughts are now in the fifth dimension where you have access to the seed thoughts for humanity. The soul of humanity can anchor the new thought-forms from this diamond layer into the collective when it’s time for more extensive development, such as now.

8) The Amethyst Layer. This energetic layer is of a soft lilac light. Its frequency is of a much finer vibration, like a sparkling clear gem. It is above the Diamond layer and contains the highest thought-forms for humanity’s spiritual development. The spiritual thoughts of Mother Earth. Compassion, caring, gentleness.

9) Yellow Topaz. This is the solar realm, the energy of solar radiation, which affects the vibration of the Earth. It is the highest level of the Earth’s crystalline body and the overlighting energy of the Source, bathing the Earth and all humanity in divine energy, helping them to grow into their divine Beingness. It is joy and abundance, and feeds the earth and all living things with its light.

When you work at sacred sites, you may see a band energetically represented by the crystal of that band. It will hover above the site you are working on. When I worked with the burial mounds near the cursus at Stonehenge, I remember seeing this for the first time. Above one of the larger mounds, an amethyst crystal appeared, which told me that whatever we were doing energetically brought that level of energy into our 3rd-dimensional realm. The energy present in the barrow also showed me its connection to that layer.

Sometimes, especially with the ruby layer, which begins just above the level of the trees, you may see it as a wide magenta band above the site. Or, such as at Uffington, you might find yourself in the band. There is a reason many sacred sites were constructed in high places. They were accessing those frequencies, accessing the thoughts of the Mother and sending those thoughts out through the ether to affect mankind’s thinking. Balance is always the way, and without these places and the people who live and work within them, things might be very different.

One thing we discovered when working in Banjo enclosures (Iron Age settlement sites) is that at the end of the avenue of each one, there is an energy vortex which connects directly to the magenta/Ruby layer. That energy then feeds up the avenue to fill the circular settlement. They are little sites of Mother Love. Some sites, such as hillforts, were often created within that band. Living in such a place, there was no sense of lack. This can still be experienced if you travel to sites that are within this Ruby band.

This can also happen in waterways. Certain crystalline frequencies can be anchored above them. The energy is then transmitted through the water.

One of the lovely things we discovered was that trees, in the emerald layer, often act as anchors for these crystalline bands. They hold the energy of that layer in a sphere and then transmit the energy into the surrounding countryside. They work together like telegraph poles, transmitting the information and crystalline frequencies in a joined network.

These bands can also be anchored in a Merkaba above the area they want to influence. Again, they will simply appear in your mind’s eye in that area. I remember, while still living in Luxor, seeing a diamond Merkaba hovering above the canal by the bridge in Qurna, on the West Bank. I thought it was an odd place for one to appear until I learned that the bridge was built above one of the ancient pylons from the Temple of Seti the First. When the builders of the bridge discovered the stone blocks, they quickly covered them up! But the energy was still there, and it knew exactly where things needed to be anchored.

Another way you might find yourself anchoring different layers is with the Was sceptre, if you have been attuned to it.

The head of this power object moves into one of the crystalline layers, often to anchor a flame of a particular colour. It moves down from that layer, through the flame, and then into the ground beneath it, acting as an anchor to one of the earth levels: core, lava or water. The flames are also creation energies, and all dimensions intermingle; they all work together.

Trees often act as anchors for these crystalline layers and communicate energetically with each other, transmitting information like telegraph poles. You may find that when working with trees that you find yourself bringing down a crystalline sphere which the tree will hold and channel into the atmosphere around it. This can happen with any of the crystalline bands. You may also find that more than more than one band is anchored.

There are so many ways that these crystalline bands can be brought to earth and so many ways they influence our thinking. In working with the crystalline field in this way you are effectively influencing the future development of humanity and of the planet. Stay open to the call, that urge you get to go visit a place. There might be a very good reason and it may be that there is work to do in the layers of the earth’s field. Learning to trust yourself is the biggest lesson. But the earth will teach you everything you need to know.
