Crystal Healing:
When a crystal or stone is held or topically applied, a person is accepting the vibrations that the crystal or stone has to offer, either on the intentional or unconscious level. An interaction between the vibrations of the crystals and the vibrations of the person's body will trigger a series of responses. How a person interprets these vibrations will play a great part in the actual healing that will take place. I once read that one definition of the word healing is "for one to become spiritually whole".
In this essence, the word healing takes on a whole new light. We all are creations of God, Goddess, the Universe, All That Is and this includes the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms. The very notion suggests that we are all greatly connected. By looking toward the mineral kingdom for assistance in the healing process, we are connecting with another aspect of creation for inspiration. The employing of crystals as healing tools, is not just a method for a quick remedy. It is a means by which one can look deeper within. To obtain the understanding of the cause of the distress.
The application of crystals and stones upon the body within specific energy centers, will start a spontaneous energy or vibrational flow. These vibrations can be recognized by various parts of the body. On the physical level, the brain will be receiving messages that will shed light on the situation at hand in the form intuitive impulses. The abdominal area may experience sensations that will lead to identification of some emotional issues that are creating an upset in one's life. The chest area possibly could receive sensations that would lead to the clarification of other aspects of one's situation.
Within the more subtle realms of the body; the third eye may start to receive images, in the form of inner sight. The inner ear may begin to receive messages that are not recognized by the physical ear. The abdomen may receive messages that can be termed as "gut instinct". The interaction that takes place between the physical and subtle realms is a very spiritual experience, in the sense that, when we start experiencing the vibrations of the crystals, we are connecting to the vibrations of the Universe. This can lead us to a connection with the finer, more subtle realms of creation. This is where the very core of our being is located, the very source of All That Is. When all these impulses are assembled and reviewed, a clearer picture can be derived, regarding the cause of distress. This information may involve physical, emotional, or spiritual experiences.
Crystal healing is a vehicle that we can use to connect with our own core essence. Crystals themselves are vibrational tools. When a crystal is held in the hand or placed upon one or more of the seven major energy centers, the vibrational interaction starts to take place. When a person is experiencing distress, it is a signal for the body, mind, spirit to take notice of the symptom. The symptom is an indication that something is out of balance. The original harmonious state in that area of the body, is somehow out of sync.
Distress can be caused by many different elements. Emotions are something that can cause a wide variety of symptoms. Belief systems are another cause for distress. The exposure to certain environmental elements is another. The interaction with the people that we encounter on a daily basis can sometimes create havoc. The list goes on and on. But there is one thing that all these elements have in common. Vibration.
All these elements are composed of vibration. When an external or self promoted vibration is introduced to our original body vibration, an interaction takes place. This interaction of vibrations can either be beneficial to the body system, or in the case of distress, a detriment to the body system. The original harmonious state of the body is disrupted by the influence of a disharmonious vibration.
When we utilize crystals or stones as vibrational tools, the crystals vibration will interact with the bodies vibration. If there is a disharmonious vibration that is to be dealt with, the crystal has the ability to dislodge that vibration so that the person can be aware of the reason behind the distress. Each of the seven major Chakras vibrate at a different frequency. To better understand this we can compare the different frequencies with the notes on a musical scale. The Chakras are also associated with the different colours in the spectrum of light.
The word Chakra is from Sanskrit and means circle and movement. They represent lines of force. The point where two lines of force cross is an acupuncture point, where seven cross is a plexus and where twelve or more cross is a Chakra. A Chakra is also referred to as an energy vortex.
I will describe how a possible crystal healing session might unfold:
After a greeting and casual conversation, to get relaxed with each other. The client and I would sit to discuss the situation that we will be focusing our attention on during the actual healing. I also would ask for some unintimidating personal background on the client by means of the client filling out a short form, for my confidential records. At the end of the form the client would sign a statement, that under the terms, they are fully responsible for what happens from the result of the healing.
At this point I would check to see the state in which their seven major Chakra’s are in, by utilizing dowsing rods to determine the direction and strength of each chakra. Then the client would proceed to lay on a massage table, ether face up or face down, depending on the circumstance that is to be worked with. The client would be led into a breath exercise to guide them into a deep, relaxed state.
Having knowledge of the clients religious or spiritual beliefs, ( this would have been derived from our discussion at the beginning of the session ) I would ask for their guides, only those of the light, to participate in the session. Then I would especially ask for the client’s highest aspect of self, to please come forth and assist in the session that is about to unfold. Then I would ask for that person’s higher self to send a sign, image, thought, feeling, or word to confirm the participation of higher self in the session.
While the person is waiting for an impulse from their higher self, I would promote them to keep the rhythm of breath steady, so that they would reach an even deeper relaxed state. By now the higher self might have made an impression and I would then proceed with the process of laying on stones.
The combinations of stones used would be almost infinite, so I will give a basic layout. Most likely I would start with the heart Chakra by placing a rose quartz upon that center. The soothing properties of that stone would give the person a sense of security to bring comfort and an even more relaxed state. Next would be the throat chakra, so that the client would be able to express that which needs to be said. Placing some celestite here would be a fine stone to start with.
Proceeding to the brow Chakra, an azurite, chrysocolla or gem silica may be placed, to stimulate the third eye. This will promote a visual interaction between the higher self and client. Now during this whole process, I would be guided to make adjustments and move energy in certain ways, by the spirit guides, and higher aspect of the client’s Self. Also I would be keeping verbal contact with the client, ( asking questions, directing them to move energy within their body, leading them into visualizations, and asking for messages that are coming through ) as they would greatly enhance the process.
Actually, from a higher point of view, the client would be healing themselves. The crystals and I would be the conduit, though which the energy would flow. I would also be there to direct the right questions at the right time. The important role that the crystals would be playing, would be to focus, enhance, stabilize, and direct the energies coming in and going out.
Then moving to the root Chakra, a hematite might be placed to ground the information coming in, bringing the experience back into the Earth arena. Maybe a black tourmaline would be placed at each hip joint, to further enhance the effect. Moving to the navel Chakra, a carnelian would serve well to bring a creative spark to the experience.
By now I probably would have placed a quartz crystal in each hand, to both begin the flow of energy and balance the polarity between the right and left side of the body. Placing a nice amethyst crystal at the crown Chakra would strengthen the connection with the clients highest aspect of self, and also provide for a more profound spiritual experience. Then placing a heliodor at the solar plexus Chakra to enhance mental clarity, and maybe another heliodor or honey calcite at the spleen Chakra, to enhance the overall vitality of the body.
Again the variety of stone placement configurations is endless. It would be unlikely that there would be two healing sessions in which the same crystal or stone arrangements would be identical. As the session comes to a close, I would direct the client to focus their attention back to their physical body, and ease them back into a Earth conscious state. Then I would hand them a mirror, so that they could see the stones as they lay upon their body.
Proceeding to remove the stones from the client, the client and I would discuss the information that was received during the session, and start to derive at a format to which the client can employ the experience into their daily life. This will start to integrate the fulfillment of the Healing process.
Then I would suggest that they slowly rise, and sit at the edge of the table so that they could regain their equilibrium. After a session such as this, a person would benefit by taking a moment to completely reconnect with their physical senses before they stood back on their feet. Before they would stand I would offer them a glass of water to quench their thirst, and also further the grounding process of being present on the Earth plain.
Note: Yes, you can apply crystals and stones to your own body with great results. From personal experience, I have found that the interaction between a Crystal Healer and a Client amplify and make the experience much more profound.
