Crystal therapy or healing takes many forms, but the common thread is that crystals are tools that amplify your intentions to heal.
Chakra Balancing
Because the chakras are the major energy centres of our bodies, regulating physical vitality, emotional moods and spiritual abilities, it is important to keep these centres balanced. Crystals help to clear and equalise the chakras.
* Lie down and place stones on your body’s chakra points.
* Another way is to simply hold and meditate upon each stone for each of the chakras
Laying on of Stones
This is the application of specific crystals directly onto the physical body in order to assist in the healing process
Touchstones
Carrying stones in your hand allows the crystal vibration to flow consistently through your energy field, using touch to access their soothing presence. They can help you stay focused in the present moment and help to eliminate fear, stress and encourage the positive.
Colour Therapy
Coloured stones contain many of the same traits associated with colour therapy. Selecting stones in colours that represent the area you wish to heal
Examples:
* Ruby reflects life-giving energy, similar to blood flowing with ease throughout the body
* Rose quartz represents unconditional love
Crystal Baths
Acting as a cleansing agent, salt and mineral baths help to keep the auric field clean by removing the residue of old or unwanted energies
* Put your crystals in the tub while you soak to boost the healing properties of the bathwater
* Select a crystal associated with your desired intention
* Sea-salt baths and crystals work well in partnership with flower essences
* However – select stones that are sturdy enough for salt water or else you can place the stone you are using in a dry spot near the bath where their beneficial effects and energy exchange will still occur
*
Drinking Water
Adding clean and polished crystals to drinking water will help to elevate the liquid’s vibration while intensifying its healing aspects
* Select a crystal associated with your desired intention
* Place the crystal in a glass jug with your drinking water
* Leave the crystal in the water to infuse
* Care should be taken to avoid swallowing any stones
Elixirs
Because crystals work by resonance, the vibration is easily transferred into spring water making a gem elixir
* Clean your selected crystal and place in a clean glass bowl
* Cover with pure spring water
* Leave in the sunlight or moonlight for 6 – 12 hours
* Remove the crystal and add 2/3 brandy or cider vinegar as a preservative
* Bottle in a clean glass bottle
* This is a mother tincture and needs further dilution before use
Jewellery
Wearing stones is very helpful, especially in the heart and throat areas. Choose your selected stones according to your planned activities. How you are feeling on that day is also important in your selection
Meditation
Selecting and using crystals as meditation companions can be a tremendous energy accelerator. Using a double-terminated (points at both ends)clear quartz crystal can help increase the flow of Divine energy moving in and out of your being on all levels
