Some ancient cultures, including Judaic, Greek and Egyptian, may have used energy emitted by crystals. Some people even believe that crystals were the catalyst for moving the huge stone blocks to build the Egyptian pyramids, and others have credited the destruction of Atlantis to the improper use of crystals. Today, modern technology uses crystals to emit energy in clocks, lasers, liquid crystal display screens, transistors, computer chips and many other devices. Holistic practioners use crystals to heal mental, physical and spiritual imbalances in people. The theory behind crystal healing is that each crystal emits a vibrational energy that resonates with the energies of different chakras and their related health issues, said Deedre Diemer, intuitive counselor and author of "The ABC's of Chakra Therapy."
Instructions
1. The first step in crystal healing is to determine the type of crystal needed. Each color crystal has different healing properties and corresponds to a different chakra.
2. Next, it's important to cleanse and charge the crystals to clear it from all the energy it has collected. Crystals absorb negative energies so they need regular cleaning, otherwise they become overstressed and stop working, said karmic healer and author Judy Hall. She suggested an easy way to do this by holding the crystals under running water for a few minutes, and then putting them out in the sun to recharge.
3. Now the crystal is ready to make a healing remedy. When soaked in water, the water becomes infused with the crystal's healing properties, storing the vibrations and transferring them to the physical body, said karmic healer and author Judy Hall. One way to do this is by adding a crystal to bath water. Crystal therapist Karen Ryan suggested using rose quartz for love and relaxation, sodalite to ease the mind, lepidolite for stress relief, chrysocolla for emotional mood swings, smokey quartz for dissolving anger, and tiger's eye for mental clarity.
4. For a room spray that will refresh stale energies or dispel negative energy, Ryan said to place a few crystals such as clear quartz, rose quartz and/or amethyst in a clear jar and fill with spring water. Place the jar in the sun for 4 to 7 hours, so the crystals' properties would infuse the water. Then remove the crystals and transfer to an atomizer and spray the entire house. Use all the water within a few hours because the potency decreases over time.
5. Another remedy is drinking crystal-infused water. Place a crystal in a glass, fill with spring water, and set it in the sun for at least 6 hours. Because the human body is nearly 70 percent water, the more structured our body's water becomes, the more it can act as an effective semiconductor for life force energy, according to the book "Healing with Crystals" by Jonathan Pawlick and Pamela Chase. Make sure to do thorough research on the crystals used before ingesting to make sure they are not toxic or water-soluble.
