That is why I feel that the whole concept of sacred geometry is so important. We live in an electromagnetic sea of energy. Crystals and bowls can be used to charge objects and charge water. You can, for example, work on a mental condition like poverty or a lack of prosperity in your life, which is something many people are working on right at the moment. The color that represents wealth in the Universe is gold.
Gold is the universal symbol of wealth.
So let's say you take a piece of golden quartz, golden crystal citrine, and you fill the temple bowl up with distilled water. You can say it verbally while holding the crystal, imagining the affirmation being infused into the crystal. The electromagnetism of human thought goes right into that crystal and programs it quite well. I think the way it does this is through something a like a binary system, such as you have in computers. Billions upon billions of atoms, lined up, are involved.
