Research into the therapeutic benefits of crystal energies is being done throughout the world. Evidence suggests that different crystals send out different vibrations which may resonate with the frequency of healthy cells in a particular part of the human body, and they may help bring back unhealthy cells to vibrating at the same level as healthy cells.

Crystal energy goes to the deepest level of a persons being, where many illness’s have their origins. The healing properties of the crystal are channeled by the qualified therapist to the recipient, which then activates the bodies own natural ability to heal its self, It works wherever the recipient needs it the most, cleansing the body of toxins and releasing blockages and energizing and re-balancing the body to create a total balance.

- Disease does not exist in a totally balanced body -

It also allows the recipient to create a happier life, and helping them to take a responsible attitude towards illness and disease. Crystal healing does not concern itself primarily with physical symptoms or with disease, from an holistic point of view these are simply the tip of the iceberg. The Human body does not stop at the skin.

The Treatment

The recipient is fully clothed and lying down on either therapy table or the floor. The therapist will place crystals on and around the body and will also hold a crystals over various parts of the body, directing the crystals energy into the patient. This balances and energizes the patient. There is no pressure to the body which makes it ideal for everyone, even the very young. The whole body is treated on all levels physical and Mental, mind body and spirit, hence allowing all problem to be helped, treating not just the symptom. A treatment session lasts about an hour. 

Crystals are gentle and non intrusive. Many people feeling a gentle warmth and often tingling sensation in the body, as the treatment progresses pain, tensions and stresses are released, this brings about a feeling of well being and total relaxation, many people relax so much they will fall asleep. 

Some people also report seeing lots of beautiful colours whilst being treated. Crystals will complement and increase the effectiveness of most kinds of medication and treatment. 

When a crystal treatment is given by a qualified crystal therapist, it is a natural holistic way of helping a person back to balance, health, joy and happiness. 

A crystal healer will not give any medical opinions, but will offer support for the human and emotional aspects of the problems faced.

Note : When you place crystals around or on the body you can follow certain guidelines as to their positioning. These are, however, only guidelines. When you perform a crystal healing it is just as important to follow your intuition or inner guidance as to where to put certain crystals. Always trust your intuition!

Where to Find Crystals and Gemstones

Acquiring crystals is and adventure and a wonderful healing experience in itself. It is a journey of self discovery and will last a lifetime. Once you are connected to the crystal world life will never seem the same again. They don’t cost much in their natural state, although some of the rarer stones can be quite expensive. You may find them yourself when your walking on the beach or in the bush or along a river, as the earth is full of crystals. You can find them for sale in the New Age and crystal shops that seem to be in almost all towns now a days, you can find them for sale on the internet or you may even wish to dig for them yourself, many of my friends do this, hard work but worth it they say. Crystals are everywhere and its more than possible you will find some in your own home that you have acquired without ever really realizing it, as crystals do find you!

For therapists it is important to know where they are from. I personally don’t like to buy ones from from places that have been strip mined as I have seen for myself the devastation this causes to the earth and to the destruction of our beautiful planet. It also goes against the harmony of the Devic kingdom. So you can always ask the sales person where were they mined, what are its therapeutic energies /properties.

Do not be rushed by a sales person or browbeaten into buying because he wants to make a sale, be sure the crystal feels right for you.

Look out for ones that are damaged especially on the tips as this may surely make them less effective and not able to direct energy effectively.

Vibration - does the crystal resonate with your energy field and feel ‘right’ for you. If it does you will feel sensations of positiveness and harmony and balance.

Choosing a Crystal:  Made easy
Choosing a Crystal is a special and wonderful exercise, but perhaps it is more about the Crystal choosing you! It is an act of love, almost.

	Try not to look for outer beauty or size, see which one catches your eye, or perhaps it is the one that you feel more drawn too, this will probably be the right crystal.
	Do not listen to or be too influenced by other people’s thinking and advise, however well this given or meant.
	Ask for guidance from ‘within’ your self, if you are working from a point of love and your heart Chakra you will be guided.
	You can use a pendulum or ask a friend to help with muscle testing or Kinesiology.
	Stand in front of the display of crystals, take a deep breath and release all negative thoughts and emotions, try to still your mind and then focus on each crystals as you hold them, all the time letting them know that your intention pure.
	See which stone feels really good for you.
	Or take a deep breath and close your eyes and again let the crystals know your pure intentions, then open you eyes quickly and often it will be the first stone you see that is right for you.
	You can also scan them with your hand, by passing your left hand  over them slowly, If you are left handed use your right hand.

These are just a few easy ways to pick crystals, there are others and you may have already have worked out which is best for you.

When you are in tune with a crystal you will experience sensations of resonance, joy, happiness, compassion and balance, it will make you feel whole.

Some sensations you may feel, are:

1. Pulsing or vibration

2. Tingling or energetic charge in your hands or on

your skin or up you arm.

3. An electric charge.

4. Flow of energy

5. Glowing light or visible energy field.

6. Humming sensations

7. Heat

8. Cold

9. Twitching in the fingers.

10. A feeling of becoming balanced or centered. 

Cleansing Your Crystal

Always cleanse your crystals. No matter where you bought it from or who gave it to you, you must cleanse it to clear away any negative vibrations or physical dirt. All crystals must be cleaned before and after use. There are many ways to do this and here are a few that I like to use.

Water cleansing - hold them or leave them under a running cold water tap for 2 – 3 minutes until you feel all negative vibration has left. Or you could even put them in a stream or under a water fall etc, Note:- make sure the crystal is water soluble some like Selenite and talc are not!

Smudge cleansing – burn incense or herbs , sage being especially good and run the crystals through the smoke, you will see the smoke cling to the crystal as it cleanses then move away when it is done, I love this way  of cleansing. Use smudge sticks that you can buy in most new age and crystals shops.

Rice Cleansing – fill a clear bowl with raw brown or white rice and place your crystals into the rice making sure they are fully covered, leave them for 24 hours, the rice will have absorbed any negative vibration. Throw the rice away afterwards DO NOT eat it.

Earth Cleansing – very good for crystals that have cleared heavy negativity from someone or have been in a very negative situation, Bury them in the earth and leave them their for a day or so. Mark the area with a stick or something so you don’t loose them.

Sound - Use ting-shaws,  ting them over the crystals

For those proficient in Reiki, use the Reiki to cleanse them.

Flower or petal cleansing – Fill a bowl with you favorite flowers or petals, good ones to use are Rose, Bougainvillea, Lavender and place your crystals in them well covered and leave them for about 24 hours. This is a lovely gentle way and I use it often.

Salt water cleansing – Much is said about this, I myself though do not like it as I feel the salt damages the crystals and so I don’t advocate it, but you will find plenty written about it in the many books about crystals

Dedicating your Crystal

After cleansing your crystal, you then need to simply dedicate it to the highest good and the good of all. These are the best vibrations to work with and the only vibrations to work with when healing others. You may prefer to act a little ceremony  or ritual.

Hold your crystal in your hands and with pure heart, say something simple like

‘from this moment on in the name of the Great Divine Love, Compassion and Healing may this crystal only be used for the highest good of all". 

Make up your own appropriate words, what feels right for you.

Programming

It is important to note that only Clear Quartz crystals can be ‘programmed’. All other crystals and gemstones automatically contain their own specific programmed due to their vibrational makeup. 

To programme your crystals simply hold the cleansed Quartz crystal in your hands in a prayer position at your heart Chakra, concentrate on the energy of your choice and fill your crystal with this energy. Say something similar to 

‘I intend this crystal to be a tool for healing/mediation/dream Interpretation/focus/concentration/’ etc whatever it is you wish for it to do. 

Again you may act out a little ritual or ceremony. Don’t do this if your emotions are erratic or your not feeling well or you feeling negative etc as these emotions are powerful and will be also transmitted to the crystals and they will then emit this energy aswell, negative emotions bring ill health. 

Only work when you are feeling positive emotionally, in good health  and with the purest intent. You can programme your crystals during meditation.

How do you de-program, clear your crystal from an old program?

To de-programme your crystal because you wish to pass it on, or you wish to use it for something else with a different intent,  just go through the same process as described above but this time your intent is to clear it and deprogramme it from its former use. So de-programme and then re-programme it for its new purpose. 

I myself would suggest though that after de-programming,  re-charge it by leaving it in the sun or your chosen energy for a few hours and the re-programme. That way its had some personal healing itself and any residue from the previous programme will have left.

So you see, how important your intent is!  Only use your pure intent!

Energizing and Charging your crystals

This is like programming your crystals, it's filling them with a positive charge of  energy when you feel they are low on energy etc. You put them out in the sunlight, make sure its not too hot as you don’t wish to burn them, fill them with moonlight, starlight, storm energy, sound, laughter, Reiki, prana, rain. 

Leave them out side all day and night so they fill with the energy of nature. You can even fill them with colour.

I love to put mine all outside on the grass and leave them out for a full 24 hours so that they take in all the energy of the ever changing mother earth and nature. They come back to full energy and they sparkle and twinkle and talk to me.

I am sad for them when in the height of summer here in our Desert wilderness its far to hot to put them out, but as soon as it cools down out they go, and when we get the odd rain shower or storm in the winter months I put them all out again as quickly as I can so that they may experience the rain even if it is only for a few minutes.

Treat yours with the same love and care and they will always love you back and their energy just expands.

Healing  Properties  of Crystals

I have been using crystals for many years and would like to share with you some of the healing properties of the gemstones and crystals. Learn how to use these stones for true changes to your life using gemstone and crystal therapies. For myself and my clients  crystal  therapies have energized me, healed illness, helped me break bad habits and changed my life. This is true energy medicine.

Crystal Therapy Overview

Crystal Healing Therapy is a complementary technique for strengthening the body and resolving issues and patterns. The theory is that gemstones carry vibrational rates. By placing these vibrational rates within the aura - your aura's vibrational rates also change. Often the effects are indirect but very potent. Other times, the effects are very direct and repeatable.

The easiest way to do gemstone therapy is to wear high quality round beads around the neck. Intention strengthens the process but is not necessary.

Metal inhibits the process. If metal surrounds the gemstone, its affects are often greatly reduced (and sometimes eliminated).

As I say though - don't take my word for what any one stone does - find out what it does for you. You are the best judge of what works for you.

I always use good quality gemstones. These gemstones are undyed, not irradiated . Beware that there are several "look-alike" glass and fake stones out there. Generally, if the cracks are darker than the crystal, the crystal is dyed.

Place it next to your bedside when you sleep at night; wear it or put it on your desk during the day. Pay attention to your moods, your interactions with others, and your dreams. Do you have any insights? Try asking the question, "What does this stone do?" before going to sleep. It may help your unconscious/higher self/your inner guide tell you what the stone does for you.

CRYSTAL ENERGY

My own experiences working with crystal energy have taught me many lessons. There are, for example, people who do not seem to respond to a said crystal which is usually successful  in treating their ailment. In such cases it is always worth searching for the actual cause of their problems and working out an alternative approach. For example, if insomnia does not respond to the use of violet, it might be induced by an old habit or pattern, and in that case sky blue or indigo might be worth trying.

Some people are afraid to have their problems solved. A healer I know remembers a young man who consulted him about his daily headaches. He told him that six years earlier he had had an acupuncture treatment that had eliminated his pain for three days. He asked him why he had not repeated the treatment. ‘I don’t know’, he said simply. ‘Even though he  lived quite close to the practitioner, he never went back.’

There is a difference between what we’ want’ consciously and what our subconscious demands. To gradually erode the discrepancy between the two, I suggest using sky blue, indigo and orange. The orange removes the fear of the new, unfamiliar situation in which the problem no longer has the significance we are used to attaching to it.

Sometimes illness can be a sort of self-punishment to compensate for feelings of guilt. Pink helps to open one up to the vibrations of love and self-esteem. It is enhanced by the flower remedies holly and pine.

I myself had a client who regularly presented himself with the same pain in his side. No matter how many times we worked on the pain and actually removed the source, the person always leaving feeling much better and the pain relieved, a week later he would return, with the same pain. Medical Doctors couldn’t find anything wrong.  I was not the only healer to have worked on this person and all had the same results.  Somewhere in this person’s subconscious,  he either didn’t want  to get better because of the attention it brought.  He is still trying anyone he can find to help, but really never truly excepts the inner healing.
