Crystal Healing or
Crystal Therapy
is the ancient art of laying-on-of-stones. Gems,
stones and crystals are laid on the body over
and around the
chakra points.
Each chakra resonates to a particular
color, so by laying a
stone of that color over the chakra, the chakras
open, balance, align and blend with one another.
If you wish to bring the quality of a particular
color to the chakra, you may choose a different
color. For example, to bring peace and calm to a
chakra, use a blue stone such as blue lace agate.
When the chakra
system is balanced, the physical body is able to
innately self-correct and heal.
Crystals bring
color and
light into the
aura and into the physical body
via the chakra system and the subtle layers of the
body through the principle of
vibration and resonance.
Crystals can
also be used in specific grid patterns in various
forms of
sacred
geometry. These sacred geometric grids create
pillars of light opening the body to
multi-dimensional awareness and understanding.
Used in
conjunction with
aromatherapy and
sound,
the color light experience of crystals are deepened
and expanded at the same time.
Crystals are
one of the tools of vibration and resonance that
create sensory healing.
Where did
Crystal Therapy ORIGINATE?
Crystal
Therapy is an ancient art, originating some believe
in Egypt thousands of years ago. Others believe it
is even older, beginning in the ancient civilization
of Atlantis or possibly even Lemuria. Certainly,
gems were important in Jesus' day as they are
referred to many times in the Bible. Wherever it
began, these extraordinary gifts from our precious
Earth have once again re-emerged to help us at the
dawn of the new millennium, the dawn of our planet's
desire for healing.
CRYSTAL and
STONE PROPERTIES
Some of my
favorite stones, those containing lithium, are
useful for balancing the physical,
emotional, mental and spiritual (PEMS)
bodies. If one is depressed, they will lift one's
spirits. If one is agitated, they will calm the
nerves. They act as a stabilizer to the entire
system.
Most of you
know something about stones such as amethyst, rose
quartz, clear quartz and more. But many do not know
the tremendous potential of the healing properties of
those stones containing lithium. Let me introduce
you to some of the many stones containing lithium.
Lithium Stones
for restoring
balance
Golden 'C'
(mined near San Diego, CA in late 1800's,
a very special stone &
extremely rare)
(35% lithium)
- an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind
stone that is
no longer available.
Balances, aligns and blends all chakras. Stabilizes
and balances extreme highs and lows. Supreme Orienter: top and bottom, left and right, front and
back, inside and outside. Aids proprioception.
Clears and purifies
anything. BEWARE of those saying they are selling
Golden 'C'. If it didn't come from the mine near
San Diego in the late 1800's, it is NOT Golden 'C'.
Tourmaline
(1-1.5 %
lithium) - conducts electricity via striations.
This phenomenon is called the
Piezoelectric effect. Most
effective if naturally terminated. Applying pressure to a continuously heated stone will direct an
electrical current. Useful placed on blocked
meridian point or using light pressure on blocked
meridian point with the terminated end of crystal.
Documented as the second fastest conductor of
electricity next to the human brain! Versatile
because of the various color frequencies. Most
tourmalines are pink or green. A fairly
new exciting variety named after the mine in Brazil,
called Paraiba, is noteworthy because of its unique
blue-green range of colors. Its essence is like the
sea and I believe this stone's color frequency
resonates powerfully at the thymus center. Note:
other stones that have the Piesoelectric effect are quartz and
topaz, though they do
NOT contain any lithium.
Lepidolite
(3-5%
lithium) - the Grand
Balancer! Reduces worry and stress,
soothes and
balances emotions, connects heart and brow chakras
and drains off excess electrical energy. Good placed
in bath. Plants irrigated with water charged by
strapping a stone on the pipes have produced larger
crops and charged water has been shown to help heal some types of
skin cancer. Caution: do not place directly in water
when making an elixir for consumption; rather, place
close to container of water. Do not place near flame
as fluorine gas is produced.
Lepidolite
with Pink Tourmaline
(1-5%
lithium) - Combines the properties of both
lepidolite and tourmaline. Wow!
Caution: do not place directly in water
when making an elixir for consumption; rather, place
close to container of water. Do not place near flame
as fluorine gas is produced.
Rose
Lepidolite
Lepidolite
and mica. Has all the properties of lepidolite as
well as mica. Mica is the second greatest conductor
of magnetic energy next to the human brain. Since we
are inundated with excess electrical energy in our
environments, extra magnetic energy can help to
balance the electromagnetic field of the body.
Sugilite
(4-4.5 % lithium) -
also called luvulite or royal lazel
or royal azel from a manganese mine in
South Africa. Connected with St. Germaine and the
purple flame of transmuting negative energies.
Activates thymus, spleen and pineal gland and
balances
the brain hemispheres.
Kunzite
(8-8.5 %
lithium) - also known as Pink Spodumene.
Activates
the
4th Heart Chakra
and balances emotions;
supports throat and brow chakras.
Sleeping with it prevents nightmares and
helps dream recall.
Hiddenite
(also called Spodumene)
(8-8.5 %
lithium) - also known as spodumene or green
spodumene. It activates the
4th Heart Chakra. Over time when placed on the parotid
gland in the cheek area, can relieve stored
anger/rage and resolve TMJ and knee problems.
Amblygonite
(8-10%
lithium) - helps remove pent up emotions,
activates
electrical system and
transmutes negative energy.
Tape on back of neck or pinch one in each hand with
thumb and index finger for headaches or tape on
thymus when working on computer terminal. Opens all
chakras and meridians and rebalances all energy
levels of the aura. Makes structured water in 15
minutes. Caution: do not put directly in water if
making an elixir for consumption; rather place near
container of water.
Lithium
Quartz
(lithium
content varies) - second most powerful lithium stone
available today. Has all the qualities of quartz and
more: has both left and right spin so repolarizes
body and can send, receive
and store information simultaneously. Self-cleaning so does not need to be
cleaned as often as other lithium stones. Purifies
water and also makes structured water by placing in
water or next to container for 5-10 minutes. Is said
to resonate with all notes of the musical scale
and with all colors and all
chakras, individually and
collectively.
Tryphane
(8-8.5
%) - Tryphane or Triphane is the pale yellow or
colorless form of Spodumene. Tryphane activates the
6th Ajna Chakra. When
placed close to the body during sleep, it is said to
erase early childhood programming that is no longer
essential for the highest and greatest good of the
individual. It most likely works with genetic
belief-system patterns as well.
Petalite
(6-6.5 % lithium) -
Petalite activates
the 3rd Solar Plexus Chakra.
The Solar Plexus chakra is where there is a large
plexus of nerves and directly affects all our
nervous systems. It is the place of our "gut"
feeling, our consciousness, and it is where we begin
our journey of having faith and trust. The Solar
Plexus chakra is the "little will" or My Will. The
6th Ajna Chakra
is Thy
Will. When My Will and Thy Will are in sync, faith
and trust is effortless. Petalite can assist in
connecting My Will and Thy Will, thus increasing
your Intuition and Inner Knowing. |
