Working with Crystals and Gemstones

Good Morning!

 

Working with Crystals and Gemstones

 

Energy Medicine is very relevant when it comes to the healing power

between mind and body! Energy medicine is based on the belief that

the human body is composed of energy fields. When the energy is

properly distributed and circulating freely, the body is healthy.

Imbalances or abnormal amounts of energy are believed to indicate an

excess or deficency.

 

Crystals and Gemstones are great energy tools. Many aspects of a

stone come into play when we use them for healing! Their mineral

properties, color, shape, location from which they come, as well as,

their Piezoelectric Effect.

 

The Piezoelectric Effect occurs when pressure is applied to a

piezoelectric material such as quartz (SiO2), the crystal deforms in

such a way as to create an electric dipole moment, generating an

electric current. Releasing pressure will also produce a current.

Piezoelectric crystals are used in the strikers of lighters to

generate a spark. The complementary effect is also observed. When a

voltage is applied across a piezoelectric material, the crystal

deforms.

 

Crystal remedies abound! Developed from many different

generations by many different cultures of people, these remedies, yet

in multiple concepts and notions, all have a common thread. They use

the inate power of the stones to work on many different levels for

many types of ailments. These remedies have been handed down through

families and tribes, teachers and shaman as are the traditions and

recipes of any culture.

 

*Put your crystals in a pouches and carry them with you. This is one

of the most interesting and oldest remedies. Usually a perscription

of 2 - 4 crystals, these complementary stones are carried or worn on

the person or placed in a certain area. This prescription can be used

for anything from healing to psychic awareness, healing an emotional

wound as in discouragement or sorrow, or bringing about such aspects

as love, money, protection, guidance, spiritual attunement, strength

or even addiction. Carry the stone in your pocket or pocketbook.

 

*Crystal Concoctions or Elixirs are also the recipes of the past. It

is recommended to place clean stones or crystals into clean, clear

distilled water and place it in the morning sun through the day and

into the night of a full moon for 24 hours. This allows the (male)

sun energy and (female) moon energy to reflect through the water and

into the crystals therefore charging the water with this vibrational

force of light and color.

 

*Crystal Hydrotherapy is the use of water in any form, in the

treatment of dis-ease. Hydrotherapy was used by the ancient Greek

physicians. Hydrotherapy and crystals have a number of uses.

Crystals salts with warm water will relax spasm; thus, hydrotherapy

has been useful in treating such conditions as muscular strains and

sprains, muscular fatigue, and backache. If your crystal can

tolerate water (see list), then bathing with the crystal energy is a

great way to work with your stone.

 

*Crystal Massage. Use your stone as a massage tool. Use some

essential oil, massage oil or lotion on your stone and massage the

areas which feel blocked or stuck. You will find this a great remedy.

 

*Meditate with your crystal. Place your crystal in your dominant hand

or on the floor in front of you. Close your eyes and concentrate on

the color of your stone. Slowly try to vibe with the crystal's

energy. Remember: " Energy follows thought " . The imagery of

visualization is very powerful! As you breath, you may inhale and

exhale through the Chakra points. This will charge the Chakra and

surrounding organs with vital energy.

 

*You may utilize the vibrational power of sound or music during your

session. The stones will enhance a positive, reconnecting flow of

energy, which will allow you to bring up, recognize and clear

emotional blocks.

 

*By " laying of the stones " on the Chakra points, (energy areas) you

have begun the healing. While meditating, you may choose to have them

visualize the corresponding color of each Chakra energy point

saturating and balancing each part of their body. Below are the

Chakra centers and their corresponding colors, complement colors and

location. The crystals listed are simply some suggestions for the

Chakra.

 

*Crystal Gridding is the " laying of the stones " around the body in

order to work with the Aura and Auric fields. There are many ways to

grid with crystals based on their color and properties.
