HEALING USING CRYSTALS

HEALING GUIDELINES

The following list should provide basic guidelines of how to do a crystal healing.  

    Environment - Create an appropriate atmosphere in the room: clutter free, nice relaxing colours, comfortable cushions, blankets etc, candles, perhaps incense burning to aid relaxation.  You might want to play a relaxation tape to begin with to help the patient relax.   REMEMBER: people can be apprehensive before having a treatment.  Re-assure them, explain briefly what you will do during the treatment, show them the crystals or tools you will be using.

    Explain to the patient that it is quite normal for them to experience a cold or hot sensation during the healing, as is it just as normal not to feel anything physical happening.  Each person is different after all.

    Silently ask the Universe for only what healing powers are required for your patient, or say a prayer.

    Tell your patient to relax.  Ask them to take some deep breaths.  Do the same yourself.  Relax.

    Hold your crystal, feel it in your hands, connect with it.

    Scan the Chakras - either by placing your hand above each Chakra, or your pendulum and feel for energies.  (Do this again before the end of the session).

    Ask your patient to lie on their stomach to begin with.

    Hold the crystal in your right hand, pointing downwards approximately 12 inches from the top of the head.  In large circular movements in a clockwise direction, move around the whole body, down the left side, and back up the right side to the point you started from, above the head.  Repeat this 3 times.

    Hold the crystal lengthways (across) and "push" the energy up through the body, starting at the toes, pushing up to the crown of the head.

    Ask the patient to turn over onto his or her back.

    Hold the crystal in your right hand, you are now going to work back down the Chakra's from Crown to Root.

    Begin at the Crown and circle the crystal (or pendulum) approximately 3 inches above the Chakra in either clockwise (male) or anti-clockwise (female) motions, depending on the sex of your patient.  (SEE DIAGRAM ON CHAKRA HEALING)

    Stop when you sense you should stop, or at least count to 7.

    Cleanse the crystal by blowing on it, or shaking it 3 times. 

    Now, hold the crystal steady over the chakra for a moment or two, and visualise pure golden or white light (maybe think of starlight or sunlight) and feel it's cool or warm light fill you, feel the light enter the top of your head and travel through your body.  Direct the positive healing energy through your hand and down through they crystal, and visualise it flowing to the Chakra

    When you feel ready, you can move on to the Brow Chakra and repeat this sequence until you reach the Base Charkra.

    Having now unblocked and balanced all the 7 Chakras, go back to approximately 12 inches from the top of the head and make more large clockwise circular movements 3 times, once again coming down the left side of the body and up the right side. 

    Go back to the top of the head and run the crystal (pointing downwards) along what is called Meridian lines, in a firm sweeping movement.  To do this, you will run the crystal over the body from one side to the other, extending the lines beyond the fingers and toes.  It should take you 10 movements to get from one side of the body to the other side, working from the head to beyond the feet.

    Stand at the feet, and hold the crystal lengthways again, and once more direct the energy upwards towards the crown.

    Now, hold the crystal pointing downwards over the Solar Plexus and make a figure 8 movement over the upper half of the body, finishing back at the Solar Plexus.

    And, make another figure 8 this time over the lower half of the body, finishing once again at the Solar Plexus.

    Slowly move your crystal away from pointing to the Solar Plexus, and place your hand above this area for a few moments.  Thank the Universe for the healing energies that have been provided.

    It is a good idea to scan the Chakras again to ensure they are balanced, do this using your hands, crystal or pendulum.

    Allow the patient sufficient time to relax and experience the crystal healing before moving them.  Place a grounding stone at their feet (like Obsidian) to make sure they are "grounded".  Once they are ready to sit up, Offer them a glass of water.

    You should wash your hands in cold running water too, to wash away any negativity and cleanse your crystals before using them again.
