Crystal Healing - Working & Healing With Crystals

What Is Crystal Healing?

Crystal healing is basically the 'laying on' of stones of different vibrational rates onto the body in order to effect healing and change. It may also involve laying out different energy grids or specific patterns of crystals around the body. It can also be the making of gem essences where the vibrational potency of the specific crystal is infused in spring water and drunk to aquire the healing properties of the crystals as necessary for the client's well being.

How does Crystal Healing Work?

It is too vast a subject to go into great depth here, so I will stick with the rudimentary fundamentals of it.

Quartz crystals have a very high and precise rate of vibration and so they are utilised extensively in modern technology, ranging from the liquid crystal diodes in calculators and clocks to their use in computers, credit cards, fibre-optic phone lines and laser technology.

Diamond, being the hardest substance on Earth, has been used for cutting other gems and drilling. They are magnifyers of energy, capable of absorbing and enhancing energy.  Clear quartz can be programmed to assist us in almost anything. They are incredibly powerful and so should always be used with respect. They can focus and amplify energy or prana.

Some of the properies of 'Clear Quartz', the Master Healer:

• Relieve and release stress;
• Amplify your healing power and potential;
• Stop burn out and energy depletion;
• Stimulate harmonious brain activity;
• Restore the energy structure to your body and mind;
• Stimulate healing, personal growth and spiritual developement;
• Re-connect you to your inner levels of your being and aura;
• Create carrier waves of pure vibrant energy;
• Improve your health and rejuventae your body by stimulating the energy flow through your meridians;
• Transfer intelligent coded information to your bloodstream;
• Transmute unwanted information that may be locked in your bones, tissues and unconscious mind.

The concept that memories can be held in our cells, joints and bones is hard to accept for those who have accepted everything they have been taught as being the "Truth" It may seem strange to many of us, but it is in fact true. As each cell in our bodies has consciousness, so it can hold memory. This is now being scientifically demostrated by Quantum Physics.  A good example of this concept can be found in the images of water crystals and auric photos in the Laws Of Manifestation page.

"The human body is the best portrayal
of the universe in miniture.
Whatever does not exist in the human body
cannot be found in the universe
and whatever exists in the universe
can be found in the human body."
~ Mahatma Gandhi ~

Often while practicing Reiki, for instance, there has been a sudden release of totally unexpected emotion from someone as the energy releases memories from the knees or solar plexus.

So you see, clear quartz alone is capable of all the above. This is why it deserves its name the Master Healer.

Crystals are alive like everything else in the universe. They vibrate at different levels depending on their composition and colour. They have certain characteristics that make them wonderful allies to us.

In crystal healing, we work in partnership with them by placing them on or near the body in order to effect healing change. One of the most basic ways is placing a different crystal on each of the chakras (see picture below) in order to restore balance to the whole system. They do this by allowing the rate of their vibration to effect change in the rate of the spinning energy centres of the chakras, clearing out any negativity and allowing them to function at peak capacity. We need to be in balance to be in perfect health. Crystals work with us to restore that balance.

Blockages in the flow of energy through the meridians or subtle energy pathways will cause illness or disease in the organs supplied by that meridian. Western medicine finds this hard to accept but chinese medicine, thousands of years old, has always used the meridians in all their medicine such as acupuncture.

Meridians are subtle energy channels something like the circulatory system but they do not correspond to the same pathways such as blood or lymph.

The Human Energy Field and Prana

I soon realised that all treatments were basically working with the same energy on the same subtle levels and that all ancient knowlege actually merged.

Prana is a Sanskrit word meaning "life-force," the invisible bio-energy or vital energy that keeps the body alive and maintains a state of good health.

The Japanese call this subtle energy "Ki," the Chinese "Chi," while the Greeks refer to it as "Pneuma." In Polynesian it is known as "Mana" and in Hebrew, "Ruwach" meaning "Spirit" or "Breath of Life" as in the Old Testament. Vital energy is found in several forms: earth prana, air prana, solar prana and Divine prana.

It is all around us and in our body cells. A healthy organism operates with plenty prana and an ill one has a deficiency of it.

We ingest it in living foods especially sprouting seeds and grains.

We breath it in with each inhalation. It is the basis of the Yogic practice of Pranayama which saturates the living organism with life force.

We absorb it from the sun as a cosmic blessing and absorb it from our Mother Earth.

Divine Prana comes from the source of all that is. It is that energy vibrating at a very high frequency which is pure divine love and as such elevates our consciousness beyond the lower levels of physicality and into sublime states of bliss and divine connection.

How then can we be separate from one another? How can one race of people be special? How can one religion be especially blessed when we are ALL manifestations of Divine Energy?

We all have the same subtle anatomy. we all come into the world of form in the same way and we all leave our physical sheaths in the same way also.

These are questions that seem so simple and yet have caused so much hatred, wars and bloodshed.

Some people view things such as crystal healing as almost being akin to being in league with the devil himself! Why? Are not crystals the treasure of the Earth? Part of the Grand Creation? How then, can using what has been supplied to us in love by the Creator be wrong?

I believe that for every ailment on Earth, there is a natural remedy. That is one of the terrible tragedies of cutting down so much of the rain forests. Many cures are to be found among that dense vegetation. There is a divine order in the created universe. There is a global consciousness that exists independant of man. We have tampered and disrupted that at our peril....as we are now discovering.

"When all the trees have been cut down,
when all the animals have been hunted,
when all the waters are polluted,
when all the air is unsafe to breathe,
only then will you discover you cannot eat money."
~ Cree Prophecy ~

My Journey With Crystals

Like so many other important things in my spiritual path, my fascination with crystals can be traced back to early childhood. Always fascinated with the natural world around me, I won the nature study prise every year at primary school.

My friend had a very large garden at the back of which for some reason was a large pile of what I know now to be granite rocks. They were simply natural shaped rocks, not conventional building bricks and I was too young to remember why they were there. What I do remember is knowing that some shone and sparkled in the sun. Then, when we broke them open, we found crystals and sparkling silver deposits inside.

Well, to me at that age, it was like finding buried treasure and that sense of wonderment at the hidden potential of rocks and crystals never left me.

After training as a nurse and becoming more and more frustrated with the way medicine was heading, I started studying alternative medicine in my spare time. Just reading books and becoming aquainted with it. The way most alternative treatments seemed to treat the whole person 'holistically' a word well used these days, resonated in me and so I decided to go down that avenue and started treating my children homoeopathically.

As the years have passed and my experience of different kinds of healing increased I now see the cosmic connection in all the many different varieties of vibrational healing whether through colour, sound or any other practice that understands that in order to heal holistically we need to see the human body in its entirety.. mind, body and spirit, existing in divine balance and each one dependant on the healthy functioning of the next.

I will never forget the words of a wise allopathic doctor I once attended.
He told me when we were discussing my views on conventional and alternative medicine,

"Alison, I am in favour af anything that WORKS!"

Wise man....wise words. If it works it speaks for itself.
