Excerpts from China Press Interview with the Founder, Mr Ooi Tien Sun. 20 May, 2007.
From your background, how did you venture into crystal healing? Please explain how the school was founded?
When I was younger, I was disturbed when I saw so much human pain and sufferings around me. Witnessing such traumatic moments drove me to search for answers. I would contemplate at length the meaning of life and enquire into the fundamental nature of the universe. After many years of practising deep contemplation, I began to experience the energy of pure consciousness that enabled me to develop energy potency and natural healing capabilities. Not long after that, in 1987, I started to help people who were afflicted with pain and sufferings through the technique of transmitting energies (which has semblance to Qi Gong). After almost a decade of practising natural healing therapy, I realized that my calling was to guide people towards self-transformation and healing. However, the practice of contemplation which I adopted in the beginning is a very difficult modality to teach to the masses. Fortunately, in 1996, I discovered the ancient art and science of crystal energetics. The research in the efficacy of crystals took me another 5 years before I decided to use this modality to teach. Thereafter, I founded Heaven’s Gift Academy of Crystal Light Energetics in 2001 to transmit the teachings.
Crystal healing gives people a mystical feeling. Please explain the crystal healing process and its healing properties.
We live in a logically organized and structured universe. What we cannot understand, we tend to label mystical or spiritual. What we do understand, we call it science. However, crystal healing which appears to be mystical is actually a very advanced form of science. Its origin predates this present human civilization. Life in our universe is made possible by virtue of Light which manifests at the physical level as a subtle, electromagnetic, radiant form of energy known to us as qi or prana. These life-giving energies are transmitted throughout our time space by microscopic particles of matter. The process of healing is simple when disease is viewed as a discontinuity of the flow of these vital forces through the biological form. When there is an energy blockage in the physical body, the flow of energy to the cells of the affected area is diminished and the related organs begin to degenerate. In crystal healing, natural crystals are used to harness, focus and direct these cosmic energies towards the diseased area via the human subtle energy system. Crystals can restore the flow of vital bio-electricity at cellular levels by the direct transmission of charged sub-atomic particles called electrons by way of the subtle energy centers and channels via the bone structure to the nervous system. An increase in the flow of electrons in the nervous system will enhance all biological functions within the body which will in turn support a recovery process. Scientific studies have proven that energy and information for all biological processes are conveyed to the cells by these energetic particles of matter. Similarly, electrons are also conveyed to us when we consume vegetables and fruits. Plants are also able to condense photons from sunlight into electrons through a process called photosynthesis. Unfortunately, most of the electrons are lost through our cooking and processing of this type of food. Most of the questions that you have raised are pertaining to fundamental issues on crystal healing. I will try to simplify it as much as I can without losing the essence. In fact, to understand it thoroughly I must deliver a long discourse; that includes your question on the healing properties of crystals. Natural crystals contain the same elements that are constituents of our physical body. These natural elements within our body are the very medium which is responsible for the reception and transmission of a wide spectrum of natural frequencies from the cosmos through the principle of resonance. These energies strengthen our nerve force that is essential for supporting cellular activity and life. Our body is in fact composed of liquid and solid crystals. Hematite is a form of crystal that has an abundance of iron and oxygen. When hematite is worn on a person, it will actually improve blood circulation. I have witnessed arthritic pains, varicose veins and body swellings reduced after the wearing of hematite for a short period. Howlite contains basically calcium. People with calcium deficiency are recommended to wear Howlite because it assists the body in the assimilation of calcium. As such, howlite strengthens the bones and teeth. It reduces the incidence of tooth decay and the degenerative diseases of the bones. Anyway, I am trying to secure some funds for clinical studies in the future before I get lambasted by the medical doctors. I could go on all day talking about the healing properties of crystals but I think it is better to tell your readers to attend the CLT workshops.
Why does it seem that crystals have a close affinity to light?Does light here mean sunlight? Does man-made light have the same effect too?
Natural elements with a regularly structured molecular arrangement have a close affinity to light; that includes natural crystals. Light that originates from the primordial source of creation, which is known to us as Primordial Light, manifests in the physical universe as subtle and electromagnetic radiation. Sunlight is only a physical manifestation of the Primordial Light. Man-made light is created by human consciousness which lacks the life-giving force that primordial energies exhibit.
What kinds of ailments/ patients are suitable to receive crystal healing? I heard there were cases of cancer or terminally ill patients being cured completely, is this true? I’ve also heard that crystals can repel and exorcise evil spirits, is it really true? Please explain how it works.
In crystal healing, we do not identify diseases by names like cancer or diagnose a condition by observing the symptoms. Diseases arise as a result of toxicity and lack of bio-electricity or energy. Crystal healing is suitable to treat most ailments and diseases because of its outstanding ability as a medium to quickly circulate and replenish vital electrics. I do not attribute the healing of diseases or any kind of ailments to our crystal healing modality only. HG actually offers a complete holistic health programme. Healees are required to follow our CLT awareness programme that recommends natural diet, proper hydration, deep breathing exercises, meditation and lifestyle change. Ultimately, when the ideal conditions of a healthy lifestyle are restored and the inner bio-terrain improves, it is the body that will eventually heal itself. Total healing can only be achieved through the balance and harmony of the five elements of time space, fire, water, air and earth. We view healing from a holistic perspective. A person who is believed to be possessed by spirits has a weak aura or electromagnetic field. Crystal healing increases the size of the energy field by strengthening the electrical signals within the body’s nervous system. As a result, the external vibrational interferences that induces negative mental conditions will be gradually neutralized. Likewise, diseases and ailments will only attack a person with a weak electromagnetic field.
Is the crystal healing practice difficult to learn? What sort of criteria do we need to have? How long does it take? Is it costly? Are students divided by grades? If so, how is it done? Apart from CLT, do you have other crystal healing methods?
The Crystal Light Transmission or CLT structured learning programme consists of 3 modules. The CLT foundation module is affordable and quite easy to learn. It is a self-healing and transformation programme that involves the use of natural crystals and has been designed specifically to teach the masses. Initially, the student is taught simple techniques that will enable him to purify his mind, body and spirit while at the same time learning how to conduct life according to higher principles. It usually takes a few years before he develops acute sensitivity to subtle frequencies, the ability to identify and ground negative energies including dexterity in receiving and transmitting light energies. In the CLT intermediate module, the student is taught basic healing techniques. Many crystal healing techniques and crystal healing properties will be shared. It involves theoretical studies and practice. Before commencing this programme, the student must have the pre-requisite criteria of truthfulness, compassion, selflessness including a steady temperament, obedience, discipline, dedication and humility. A good healer usually takes a decade to train. The CLT advanced module will only be introduced next year. If one realizes the kind of benefits that can be received from CLT training, costs will not be an inhibitive factor.
Doesn’t crystal or gemstone healing have a long history? Why did you have to develop CLT?
Despite having a long history, crystal healing has not been able to garner respect and credibility as compared to the other healing arts. However, I have personally, along with countless other people and practitioners, witnessed the incredible healing powers of crystals and have collated many testimonies to substantiate its efficacy. By integrating science with the metaphysical aspect of crystals, I have made a bold attempt to completely erase the elements of superstition, diabolism and occultism that have often been associated with crystals. I have even managed to puncture holes through the layers of skepticism of my most ardent critics. The skeptical mind needs hard factual evidence to be convinced. It is through the progressive CLT structured learning programme that most of the information and the advanced healing techniques will be disseminated.
The philosophy of CLT seems very profound. Is it something difficult to comprehend?
Philosophy itself is a difficult subject to comprehend. To encourage people to pursue the philosophy of CLT, I have provided teachers and facilitators to explain the difficult concepts. Study and contemplation of higher truth is a process whereby one cultivates the mind. The primary objective of CLT is to guide people towards higher states of consciousness.
Please talk about the present situation on how crystal healing is being popularized globally.
Generally, crystal healing is popularized through books. Unfortunately, most of these new books are written in a superficial and elementary manner. Readers are encouraged to practise the techniques shown in the book. Without personal guidance from a teacher, it is a daunting task to learn crystal energetics through personal study. I would discourage such an attempt. Learning techniques from books by oneself has its drawbacks and hazards. It is a principle that one should always learn subtle energetic practices through the proper guidance of an established teacher; be it reiki, pranic healing, yoga, or qi gong. And that one should practise a single modality at a time. As a standard criteria, the teacher should have at least five to ten years of experience in his field of endeavour and have established a practice system that is based on sound fundamental principles. The teacher should be accessible to the public and have an established base with well-trained practitioners to assist him. The lack of public awareness is another reason which prompted me to introduce CLT to the masses. We want to deliver an important message and set the record straight. In my opinion, it is inappropriate for any teacher to reveal advanced techniques in books to the public without giving access to proper tutelage. Many of such text book practitioners have mixed practices from other crystal healing schools. At the extreme end, I have encountered people (without proper training) who have mixed crystal healing practice with other forms of subtle energetic practices! Due to their ignorance, they may have messed up their subtle energy bodies with conflicting and disharmonious energies that will eventually affect their physical well- being. This has created chaos in the subtle energetic cultivation practice community. As a result, many kinds of unheard of diseases have surfaced in these types of practitioners. It is difficult to treat such diseases with conventional healing modalities. This has created a critical situation and it must be reversed before further damage is done. For the record, subtle energetic practices cannot be learned from books alone or from 3 or 5 day workshops. Teachers have to be in close touch with students all the time during the budding stage. During ancient days, all teachings in fine subtle energetic practices are transmitted orally to the disciples with the master in close attendance. I am not asking you to stop practising but to practise under the strict guidance of a responsible teacher. One who has the experience to resolve energetic difficulties that may arise during the initial stage of the practice. I often hear the remark, “ my neighbour has practised such and such a system. It has helped him improve his health tremendously. So, I would like to join him too”. Before making the decision to practise, please evaluate the situation with the above mentioned criteria in mind.
Is it necessary to use natural crystals in crystal healing? What type of crystals are generally used in healing? Does the level of energy in a crystal have a direct influence on the result of healing?
Of course, natural crystals exhibit a higher level of coherency and focus in energetic transmission of particles of energy than synthetic crystals. Coherence allows different units to communicate effectively. The final result is like a huge orchestra playing. Although each musician is playing their different individual parts, it is difficult to pick out any one instrument while we are listening. In this case, natural crystals have the uncanny ability to unscramble chaotic signals of frequencies transmitted by diseased cells and restore their former frequencies. This will explain why the recipient of crystal healing energies does not experience harmful side effects which we often witnessed in the use of synthetic crystals for computer and laser technology. Generally, natural clear quartz and black tourmaline are used as our basic crystal healing tools. Natural clear quartz is a perfect medium for harnessing, focusing and transmitting cosmic energies. Black tourmaline grounds all negative radiation emitted by a diseased person. It protects the healer as well during crystal healing sessions. The answers to your questions are extracted from my personal manuscripts, entitled “Crystal Light Transmission: Towards The Mastery Of Light Energy”, which will be published in the near future. As such, I hereby secure and reserve my rights of ownership to this material and it should not be reprinted in any other form other than for the purpose that we have agreed upon.
