Native legends speak of crystal skulls as an inheritance from ancient times. Said to “talk and sing” they are believed to carry messages for all mankind, including what may be discovered when we overcome our fear of death.
Here is one way for you to work with your crystal skull:
The first layer you encounter when working with any skull, including Synergy, is “to remember”. This is the first layer - and this layer has many other layers within it. What you are to called to remember is who you really are. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily things and forget that each life is short and sweet, even with the difficulties. The real you is a BEING OF LIGHT. You are a SPIRITUAL BEING, inside of a physical body. “Remember”.
Hold your skull firmly in either both hands or in just the right hand, keeping the thought of what you wish to work with in mind. The crystal receives the energies via the physical body of the person holding it, absorbs the vibrations, then amplifies them and re-broadcasts them outwards. These amplifications are received by the chakra (or receptors) in the left hand and relayed up the arm, to the brain, to a gland called the hypothalamus and or the limbic system, impressing the vibrations on the sub-conscious mind. The energy continues on, moving down to the right hand, holding the crystal. The process continues in a loop, reinforcing itself. The skull shape is thought to be especially effective in this process, as the inside back of the skull acts as a kind of satellite dish, to broadcast the vibrations of the person using it.

CRYSTAL SKULLS
I have been collecting Crystal Skulls for the past 2 years. Currently, I am guardian to 35 skulls.
Metaphysically, the symbol of the skull represents the higher mind. To attain the higher mind of spiritual awareness and psychic ability, we must be released from the thrall of the lower cognitive mind.
There are three types of crystal skulls --
1) Contemporary Crystal Skulls (crystal skulls being made by modern carvers today)
2) Old Crystal Skulls (crystal skulls made anywhere from 100 years to 1000/1500 years ago)
3) Ancient Crystal Skulls (crystal skulls made anywhere from over 2000 years ago to perhaps thousands of years ago)
The 35 skulls that live with me all fit into the Contemporary crystal skull category. I have, however, purchased several skulls from Sherry Whitfield Merrell, current custodian of SYNERGY, one of the world's verified ANCIENT crystal skulls. In keeping, these skulls have been fully charged with SYNERGY's subtle energy.
There is no known scientific test to date that can determine when a crystal skull was created (as in its age), but one generally experiences a much more powerful energy that is linked to the Ancient crystal skulls in comparison to the modern ones. This does not mean, however, that one crystal skull is greater or lesser than another in terms of importance.
I have been told by many crystal skull caretakers that when one agrees to become a guardian of a crystal skull, their whole life changes. Native legends speak of the fact that crystal skulls carry messages for all mankind.
Ancient cultures believed that it was the skull that housed the soul, meaning that they believed that the soul of the person lived inside the human skull.
There exists an ETHERIC ENERGY NETWORK that links all the crystal skulls together. This can be compared to our modern internet which links computers all over the world together. One also needs to remember that computers are made from quartz crystals.
Once a new skull becomes activated, the skull begins working towards fulfilling its mission in the world. At this stage it can link into this etheric energy network and receive knowledge, information and energy from any other crystal skull that is also linked to this network.
IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES OF THIS LAST STATEMENT.
In keeping, the newborns have just an important role to play as their older brothers and sisters!
Crystal skulls can be compared to computers. One gets the sense that they, too, hold tremendous information that can help humanity in many ways. They can be utilized as tools for healing. In addition, they are a catalyst for helping people to see their true nature. Like a mini-energy vortex, they may propel a person to release physical, mental, emotional, and pastlife blockages very quickly, which helps one to see oneself. In essence, crystal skulls are akin to a mirror, showing us what resides within.
Many of us believe that the older crystal skulls were gifts from the Gods or the ETs. Thus, the knowledge and information they contain can be of vital importance and assistance for humanity. At present, it appears this information is communicated to a person via telepathy (thought), but eventually it is believed that we may be able to construct a type of machine that will be able to replay the information that has been encoded or recorded within a crystal skull.

METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF GEMSTONES
The most effective way to use any gemstone for healing purposes is to wear it as close to the skin as possible. Some women like to "hide" their gemstones within the deep inner recesses of their bras, but the vast majority prefer to wear their chosen gemstone around their neck on a silver or gold plated chain.
Gemstones may, if so desired, be held in the hand while you are watching television during the evening or while you are reading a favorite book or magazine. The healing energies of your chosen gemstone(s) will then be gently absorbed into your physical and mental bodies whilst you are relaxing.
You may also like to place your gemstone under your pillow at night whilst you are asleep; thus allowing the energies of the stone to gently penetrate your subtle body whilst you are in a deep state of sleep.
Certain stones can help you to develop your spiritual abilities and gifts. Use an Amethyst, for example, in developing your intuitive awareness; a Lapis Lazuli for acquiring wisdom and truth and a Moonstone for obtaining humanitarian love and sensitivity. Use your gemstones wisely in the pursuit of all your ambitions and needs.
Here are some of my favorites ......

CRYSTAL WISDOM
Recently I read a book entitled The American Indian Secrets of Crystal Healing by Luc Bourgault. There were words stated within that moved me greatly; words that I feel are essential to make note of here.
Simply go to Crystal Wisdom.
Indeed, Luc's words are most powerful and merit careful re-reading and reflection and can be purchased through both Amazon (US) and Amazon (CDA).

Green Aventurine is perhaps the best balancing stone for the heart chakra. The stone encourages calmness and positivity, helping to release emotional pain in a gentle and effective way. Rose Quartz restores calmness, balance and clarity to emotions, helping to attract positive and gentle energy into one’s life. Placed close to the heart, large pieces can release stress and trauma rapidly. This may cause discomfort, so care should be taken to balance the release with more calming and stabilizing stones; hence, Green Aventurine and Rose Quartz can work together.

STUDY OF THE CHAKRAS
The word chakra is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning wheel. If we were able to see the chakras, we would observe a wheel of energy continuously revolving or rotating. Clairvoyants perceive chakras as colorful wheels or flowers with a hub in the center. The chakras begin at the base of the spine and finish over the top of the head. Though fixed in the central spinal column they are located on both the front and back of the body, and work through it.
Each chakra vibrates and rotates at different speeds. The root or first chakra rotates at the slowest speed, the crown or seventh chakra at the highest. Each chakra is stimulated by its own and complimentary color, and a range of gemstones for specific uses. The chakra colors are of the rainbow; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The size and brightness of the wheels vary with individual development, physical condition, energy levels, disease, or stress.
If the chakras are not balanced, or if the energies are blocked, the basic life force will be slowed down. The individual may feel listless, tired, out of sorts, or depressed. Not only will physical bodily functions be affected so diseases may manifest, but the thought processes and the mind may also be affected. A negative attitude, fear, doubt, etc. may preoccupy the individual.
A constant balance between the chakras promotes health and a sense of well being. If the chakras are opened to much, a person could literally short circuit themselves with too much universal energy going through the body. If the chakras are closed, this does not allow for the universal energy to flow through them properly which may also lead to dis-ease.
Most of us react to unpleasant experiences by blocking our feeling and stopping a great deal of our natural energy flow. This affects the maturation and development of the chakras. Whenever a person blocks whatever experience he is having, he in turn blocks his chakras, which eventually become disfigured. When the chakras are functioning normally, each will be 'open', spinning clockwise to metabolize the particular energies needed from the universal energy field.
As already mentioned any imbalances that exist within any chakra may have profound effects upon either our physical or emotional bodies. We are able to use our quartz crystals and gemstones to re-balance all our chakric centers and once the chakra has been properly balanced then our body will gradually return to normal.
The reason why crystals and gemstones are wonderful and powerful healing tools are because of what science calls its piezoelectric effect. You can see this effect in the modern quartz watches. Crystals and gemstones respond to the electricity that is coursing through our body, and if the energy is sluggish, the constant electrical vibrations of the stones will help to harmonize, balance, and stimulate these energies.

ALTERNATIVE HEALING
I currently hold a Level 2 Reiki certificate and focus mainly on sending long-distance healing energies. Before the end of the summer I will have acquired a Crystal Healing Practitioner diploma from Stonebridge College in the UK. By my very nature, I am a researcher. Between reading actual text and/or related articles on the internet, it is my aim to combine my Reiki interests with the metaphysical and healing properties of crystals and gemstones.
I am the webmistress of a site called PORTALS OF SPIRIT, a site dedicated to spiritual information. As with all things, change is necessary to the growth of the soul. We are always evolving. Change should always be looked upon as a positive experience.
Sites are researched on a continuous basis in order to add to the spiritual links list of categories. I do not claim to adhere to and/or follow all of the belief systems that are listed regarding websites and books but am committed to honoring the divinity of all. You will find a list of many books that were of important significance to me while on this journey.
Do take the time to visit.
Namaste.
(... meaning I bow to the divine in you).
