ForewordAs a child I talked to stones. And the stones talked back. I as-sumed everyone did. But I soon learned it was better not tomention it, especially to those in the—allegedly—grown-upworld. They didn’t seem to understand. It didn’t stop mystone conversations though and they have continued to thisday. It is how I learn what the crystals want from me and howthey wish to work with us to bring profound change to ourearth and our consciousness.

Fortunately there are many ‘grown-ups’ that have nowcaught up with what has turned out to be one of the mostancient beliefs in our world: that stones are alive. I was in-trigued to find, during the course of my M.A. research intothe history of birthstones, that well over seven thousand yearsago, stones were regarded as conscious, sentient beings withmore than a touch of the divine about them. This belief un-derlay the practise of magic, which is not just a set of super-stitious rites and rituals but rather a way of facilitatingspiritual evolution and connection to the divine.

So you can imagine how delighted I was to meet MichaelEastwood who also experiences crystals in this way and tobe introduced to the magic of his Crystal Oversoul HealingCards. Initially I used the cards as a breakfast meditation—quite literally gazing at one I had picked at random as I ate.The card always turned out to be apposite for the day, con-necting me to a quality that I would need for the events andchallenges I encountered.

Page 6: Crystal Oversoul Attunements

The cards threw light on my path and strengthened mycommunication with the crystals themselves. I loved the im-ages, which reflected my own intuitive connection to the en-ergetic resonances behind the crystals. And, by carrying my‘crystal for the day’ I felt that I was connected to a vast net-work of guidance and awareness: that there was so muchmore.

I use crystal grids and portals a great deal in my own workespecially for exploring the new high vibration crystals. Butworking with the Attunements in this book is something elseentirely. It takes me into dimensions that are so familiar andwell-known, and then expands them beyond even my wildestimaginings. Working with crystals is always a privilege butmeeting the Crystal Oversouls in their own temple is enlight-enment beyond words. To be immersed in the love and lightthey have for us incarnated ones and for the whole of creationis pure joy.

A joy I hope you will share through your own attune-ments to these marvellous beings. To be able, with their as-sistance, to reconnect to the wisdom we seeded in our ownfar past, empowering each one of us to make the leap of con-sciousness that will take us into a new world.

Thank you Michael!

IntroductionThis book is a deeper exploration into the Crystal Oversoulconsciousness. It is designed to give guidance to you who in-tend to work with the cards and perhaps some crystals. Youwill find meditations and attunements helping you to comeinto contact with the Oversouls.

The booklet that came with the first limited print run ofthe Crystal Oversouls Cards was the first wave of informationbetween the Oversouls and myself. My first encounters withthe Oversouls were spontaneous. I wrote from direct experi-ence.

This book is a result of further learning from their ener-gies, further visits from their consciousness, and observationon my part. It was an illuminating experience to travel intoeach of the Oversouls, see the beings as well as the innerworkings of their temples, to be able to perceive more thanat my first encounters. I could not comprehend some of thesubtleties of the Oversouls during my first meditation. Thatis because our usual sensory faculties cannot comprehendthe immense energies of such beings at first.

Frequently, I refer to the awakening of new chakras and Iwould like to introduce this a little. The eighth, ninth andthe earthstar chakras (see diagram on next page) are centresthat are in the process of awakening. These three chakras willbecome increasingly important in our age as they reflect anew model of consciousness in us, collectively and individ-ually.

Page 8: Crystal Oversoul Attunements

The eighth chakra is located about six inches (15cm)above the crown and is associated with the violet flame of il-lumination, discernment and with the ability to communi-cate with other dimensions. The symbol of this chakra is thedivine seed, or blue pearl. This seed carries the divine sparkthat is illuminated through development of the crownchakra.

crystal-oversouls-book-final-trim_Layout 1 19/07/2011 21:40 Page 12

Page 9: Crystal Oversoul Attunements

The ninth chakra is located about nine inches (22cm)above the crown and is associated with the restoration ofDNA. By this I mean that our cells and DNA are repairedand resonate with the first programs and coding from our firstincarnation into this solar system. Lifetimes spent in other di-mensions or planets are explored through this chakra. Theeighth and ninth chakras are deeply connected to each other.To activate one is to activate the other. Upon activation theyturn like ancient wheels that set accelerated energies into mo-tion.

The earthstar chakra is located about twelve inches(30cm) beneath the feet. This emerging centre works to-gether with all the chakras and especially in combinationwith the eighth and ninth. The earth star grounds and as-similates the healing changes that take place on higherplanes, earthing them into conscious awareness. Without theearthstar the higher chakras would remain unconscious andtherefore we would be unable to anchor our experiences intoreality.

The journeys that I have undertaken with the Oversoulshave awakened these chakra centres within myself andbrought their importance to my awareness. It is these centersof perception that were in use when I traveled to conversewith the Oversouls, and the journeys became a process ofalignment to each of the challenges and qualities encoun-tered. With each meditation, I could hold my focus betterand see their geometry, colours, and shapes and explore theirdifferent qualities.

I came to understand the immense healing potential heldin working consciously with the Oversouls, the greatest po-tential being the request to restore in us the keys contained

Page 10: Crystal Oversoul Attunements

within each of the Oversouls consciousness. Ages ago, thesekeys were placed by ourselves into the fabric of the templesuntil the time would come when we would be ready to re-claim them.

In this book you will find different possible attunementsfor each of the Oversouls. They are designed to inspire yourimagination and lead you to make your own connection. Isee each Oversoul as an individual process within itself, andeach holds a key to our individual and collective awakening.

Some of the attunements might appeal to you more thanothers. Don’t shy away from the less appealing ones as youmight gain more by exploring these.

Attunements to the Oversouls are closely linked to the cre-ation and experience of crystal grids and guided meditations.They will mediate the quality that the Oversoul carries forus and enable us to connect to them via creative imagination,meditation, crystals and intention.

When I started the process that led to this book I askedthe Oversouls a question: What is the best way to work andalign with you?What came through was simple and precise:they impressed upon me images in the form of crystal grids,encouraging me to experiment with the impressions theywere sending me.

I followed their advice and laid out, intuitively, clearquartz points on the grass in my garden. (See picture on op-posite page.)

As soon as I started this process, floodgates opened withinmy mind, and I knew what they were leading me to. I laidout the first crystal grid and could see that I could rebuild onthis plane what I had seen and experienced, mandalas of

quartz that would reflect the Oversoul consciousness. It tookme a while to realize that the numbers of the quartz pointsreflected exactly the numbers contained in the mandalasthemselves.

When you read the information for the individual Over-souls in this book, you will see that there is a number of crys-tal points attributed to each. The numbers are important tofollow in order to create the right aura for the mandalas. Themandalas always need to be laid out in a circle and the crystaltips need to face inwards for personal attunements.

I asked the Oversouls what the difference was betweenthe apex pointing inwards or outwards. They replied thatwhen we require a personal attunement or alignment withan Oversoul then the apex should point inward as it is a

Understanding the Oversouls

Below are suggestions on how you can use the cards:

Support ive Attunement

Choose a card simply because you are drawn to its image.Reflect upon the mandala and become aware of how you feel.Find the crystal in this book and see if the informationmatches or inspires your experience. Allow the image to sup-port and remind you throughout the day.

Immersion Attunement

Choose a card on purpose because you require learningfrom either the image or the information given. Sit comfort-ably impressing the image onto your mind, merge with it,gently utilizing the rhythm of your breathing. Imagine your-self immersed into the mandala.

This method allows your eyes to absorb the energy ema-nation from the card into your aura.

Immersion with Crystal Attunement

Choose a card for the appropriate crystal. Sit comfortablydrawing the image and the energy of the crystal into yourawareness, merge with it, gently utilizing the rhythm of yourbreathing. Imagine yourself immersed within the mandalaitself.

Oversoul Attunements for Personal Journeys

If you wish to make an encounter with a certain crystal, I would recommend that you first read through the guidedmeditation for the appropriate Oversoul in this book. Makesure that you are familiarizing yourself with the qualities ofthe Oversoul. Each attunement has a number of clear quartzpoints, which you will need to prepare.

When you are ready choose a nice, peaceful place and putthe exact number of clear quartz points required on theground, in a circle. Allow enough space for you to sit withinthe circle. Have the apexes of the crystals pointing inwards.

First place your chosen Oversoul card in the centre of thecircle, then a matching crystal.

Once you are relaxed in the circle with your Oversoul cardand crystal, breathe deeply and consciously and let the energybuild within the circle, imagining the protection and guidanceof the Oversoul beings. They will be the guides for your jour-ney and they will take you into the Oversoul and oversee yourattunement as well as reassuring your returning consciousness.

Although the beings will ground you there are a fewthings you can do to help in your grounding process:

• Stretch and breathe deeply and write down your insights.

• Drink plenty of water.

• Rub your feet, especially press into the centre of each footusing your thumbs.

• Eat light food.

• Go for a walk.

We are vast beings of light that incarnate, in part, inhuman form. We have traveled many lifetimes and haveexperienced a multitude of experiences to be here at thistime in the turning of human history. A new cycle hasbegun and each of us is here to help the earth’s transitioninto a new dimension.

Ajoite’s colouring and character reminds us of our ancient Lemurian light. For some, this is a painful mem-ory, as in subsequent lives after Lemuria, this light wasmisunderstood and many were persecuted. This bur-dened memory has led to a reluctance to take on positionsof power or responsibility.

By working with this crystal, fears that inhibit the expression of our light in the world are finally healed. Our light can radiate again without attracting negative attention.

REMEMBRANCE

Ajoite is the main initiator serving to align us to our originalblueprint. The Ajoite Oversoul appears as a vast mandala ofcomplex geometric patterning. To enter the Oversoul’s portalone must pass through its centre.

Inside one sees the temple, formed by a vast vibrant liquidlight that to our eye takes on the colour turquoise.

Within the temple 12 Ajoite beings, who are the Over-souls, gather and begin to chant their initiation codes. Theyinvite us to lie down on the Ajoite crystal table. Once we haverelaxed on the crystal table, the Oversouls place Ajoite crys-tals upon the ninth chakra and the throat region of our body.

Any codes that we have left in these temples now can berecalled by us as we start to remember. The walls of the tem-ples are liquid light and deep within their geometry is an-chored what we had left here for another, later age; andslowly it starts to take shape and reveal itself to our consciousminds. Sound and light penetrate our cells, reawakening usto the potential left behind in an ancient time. Simultane-ously, the element of Star is activated within us, which spinsits wheels and aligns with earth, air, fire and water.

The ninth chakra downloads light data that we left in safekeeping within this temple. We awaken with a wider per-spective and an enhanced sense of who we really are. Eachtime we return to the Ajoite temple we retrieve more of ourcodes and navigational tools.

Pink tourmaline encourages us to let go, to relax; to for-give when we can and make space for love. With pinktourmaline the heart chakra can be unburdened ofresidue, letting in fresh energy and optimism.

Grace, respect and love are the key words for pinktourmaline. This crystal encourages openness and trustin life. It asks us to remain true to our inner guidance andto seek validation from our knowing, rather than another.Pink tourmaline initiates strength and communicationwith the heart.

Patterns around love, sharing and responsibility forour feelings are addressed through this crystal. The crys-tal’s soft healing pink tones the physical body relaxes andreleases any tension.

LETTING GO, GRACE AND RESPECT

The Pink Tourmaline Oversoul serves to attune and recali-brate our heart chakra. It has watched the human journey ofincarnation and struggle to stay true to our light. It knowsthat we have accumulated experiences that have tested thewisest of beings. The Oversoul of this temple serves to restorethe hearts of all those that seek to continue the journey. Itsdeep rich pink tones offer nurturing and restorative vibra-tions to the human heart.

When we enter the portal of this Oversoul we are greetedby 12 luminous beings. They seek to replenish our energyand invite us to rest on the ancient crystal table that is carvedfrom a single pink tourmaline.

As we rest, the Oversouls chant and sing their sacredsongs and we feel how the deep notes stimulate our heart re-gion. Any discordant energy that is being carried here is sungaway. The beings join in the singing as it is our breath thatreleases the vibrations. Ancient sorrows that we carry aredrawn out and released. Through this healing a new vitalityenters and we can feel a profound sense of grace rising—welet go.

We notice that a previous tightness within our chest regionhas left and we breathe easier and deeper.
