MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
 
Topic:

Crystal Rainbow Immersion


"Crystal" Bill Kaunitz

 
Bill Kaunitz
  • Experience vibrational crystals that resonate with  your DNA and the biological crystals in your eyes and brain.
  • Enter a deep state of relaxation in an open-eyed altered state.
  • Clear your mind and balance your body in an ocean of healing color, light, sound, motion and crystals.
  • Merge with the Gaia's auric field.
WORKSHOP

We will begin with the video "Rainbow Secrets of the Crystals" with narration by the speaker.  Questions and answers will follow, and you can handle the living rainbow crystals, Bill's new discovery.  Several rare living rainbow spheres will be available for sale.
 
This will be followed by the Crystal Vision light show "Bubbles of Joy," a crystal light show featuring dozens of rainbow soap-bubble movies, all at one time!  Put some bubbles of love in your heart with  wavy rainbows from Wavy Davy and Bubble O'Bill.

We will end with the World Rainbow Meditation to connect the colors of your chakras and personal aura to the aura of Mother Earth - our beloved Gaia.    

BACKGROUND

Quartz crystals are found all over the world.  Tiny gaps form in the crystals during growth.  Sometimes these hollow spaces contain water, air, or even crude oil. When white light reflects off these tiny gaps in the crystal structure, special colors are formed called "iris rainbows."

The effect is enhanced with heating and cooling.  As the crystal heats up and cools down, it goes through many changes.  On the warming cycle, the rainbows expand, and on the cooling cycle, they contract.  The shapes change and create new patterns of vivid colors in the iris rainbows. This spectrum is quite different from the rainbows we are used to seeing in the sky. 
Crystallographers call these "first-order" interference colors.


The crystals speak to us in languages of light and motion, waves and fireworks.  In this immersive light show, you will see many wonders inside these "Living Rainbow Crystals."  You'll see rainbow gardens that fill the stone with color, light and life.  You'll see colors grow into ferns, flowers, trees, fractal patterns, layered snowflakes, miniature lakes and rivers, and exploding volcanoes of rainbow light.

THE CRYSTAL VISION� SHOW

Special optical crystals are at the heart of the system.  These unique crystals create spiral patterns of light that resonate with your DNA's genetic material, and with all the biological crystals in your eyes and brain.

The Crystal Vision show takes you inside a crystallized kaleidoscope. You are inside a giant multi-faceted crystal ball rotating in dozens of directions at once!  Scores of pictures and rainbows swirl and pulsate around the room.  The images flow over every inch of the walls, ceiling, floor, and the viewing audience.  It is a rainbow bath that touches every part of your mind and body.  

Crystal Vision eases the viewer into a deep state of relaxation while stimulating the heart and mind to expand into lovely feelings and scintillating thoughts.  It is an educational system that teaches open-eyed altered states; a healing system that uses color, sound, motion and crystals to clear the mind and balance the body; a super-learning system; and a multi-dimensional portal to the spirit of the ancient past, the Earth's natural beauty, and the art of the future.

PRODUCTS AND FOLLOW-UP

There will be beautiful rainbow crystals for sale, as well as Bill's  DVD, "Rainbow Secrets of the Crystals" which we will be viewing this evening.  

Participants can set appointments to visit Bill's museum/showroom/healing center, comprised of an amazing collection of beautiful and rare crystals presented in an artistic setting.  For full effect, we recommend sitting inside a giant amethyst cave while Bill plays crystal singing bowls and Tibetan bronze bowls!  

ABOUT "CRYSTAL" BILL KAUNITZ

Bill Kaunitz has been involved with crystals since 1978.  Among his many accomplishments, he designed and built the first Crystal Vision light show, developed and produced "way- off Broadway" shows in San Francisco, and mastered the art of macro-photography.

Clear crystals have the ability to create spinning rainbows and images when illuminated by lasers, spotlights or video projectors.  In the late 1970's, Bill's company, Foreign Embassy Productions, created a series of live music events, theatrical plays, and light shows based on these techniques.

His interest in natural quartz crystal soon grew to encompass architecturally shaped crystals, which he calls crystal castles and crystal cities.  His search for the crystal cities led him to the crystal mines of Arkansas where he created his first crystal museum.  His current museum and showroom is in Mill Valley, California.   Bill has collected "crystal cities" from Arkansas quartz mines and from around the world.  The latest crystal cities are fluorescent, and glow in the dark.

Bill developed specialized lighting techniques for photographing these miniature crystals.  Most of the photos are created by lighting the crystals with miniature spotlights, made from fiber optic tubes, solar lighting projectors and ultraviolet rays.  His camera equipment is custom designed to create a sense of flying around and inside the crystals.  The custom designed Nikon lens is three feet long!

Bill's interest in the energetic powers of crystals led to a series of seminars that he teaches across America.  The classes focus on the abilities of people to use crystals and gemstones for meditation tools, spiritual development and for alternative healing methods.  

Bill has worked as an attorney, a masseur, and as an art broker for sculptors, muralists and other artists.  He currently works with fine artist Nancy Silverhawk to create large crystal and bronze sculptures.  The multi-million year-old crystal gemstones are blended with traditional cast bronze sculpture.
