STONES: Laying On of Stones

[Guest guest]

LAYING ON OF STONES

by Kellie Conn

 

The technique of using gemstones on the receivers body for healing is

called laying on of stones. It is a powerful method of cleansing

negative energy, clearing and balancing the chakras, effecting emotional

release, and bringing light and healing into all the aura bodies.

Cleared, programmed, and dedicated stones move the receiver s vibration

into alignment with the planet and the universal grid. This results in a

freeing of life force energy in the chakras and aura, a healing of the

Body of Light, and a transformation of negative or dis-ease into health.

The process may be done with clear quartz crystals only, colored

gemstones only, or a combination of both. The stones may be used alone

or with a hands on healing (ie; Reiki).

 

The stones are placed upon the receiver s body from feet to head. The

healer then begins using her hands as usual starting at the head and

moving toward the feet. (Use gemstones with colors matching each chakra

s color. The stones can be in any form-faceted, raw, tumbled, eggs, or

beads.) Energy in this type of healing needs to move in one direction

through the body, either Earth to sky or sky to Earth. If the energy is

Earth to sky, all the gemstones that have points are placed with the

points turned towards the receivers crown. The effect of this direction

is to move the receivers energy to a higher vibration or more spiritual

level. If the direction is from sky to Earth, it is the opposite, with

the crystals pointing toward the feet. This direction moves life force

energy from crown to feet for grounding and rooting into Earth.

 

To begin, the receiver lies on her back on a padded floor or massage

table, with pillows under her head and knees for comfort. The space

should be quiet, comfortable, and warm. Use only stones that have been

dedicated to positive energy and programmed for healing. Invite spirit

guides and angels into the session if you wish.

 

Start by placing a clear quartz crystal above her head and below her

feet. In the right hand place another crystal and in the left hand place

a rose quartz gemstone. (my personal method). Then go chakra by chakra,

moving from the feet to crown and placing the appropriate colored

gemstone for each center. (Be sure you have your healing stones spread

out where you can reach them easily.) There may be stones that you are

drawn to for a particular reason, let yourself be guided, there are no

real rules. You cannot do it wrong. A stone that is not needed for the

session or is inappropriate for the receivers energy will roll right off

or roll to another place where it is better utilized. Allow this to

occur. If the receiver feels uncomfortable with a particular stone,

remove it, the energy is not right for her needs.

 

When the stones are all in place, the healer has two options. She (he)

can go to the head and begin a hands on healing. Be sure to cover the

stones with your hands carefully in order not to scatter the gemstones.

While your hands are covering each chakra over the stone, visualize the

bright color of the gemstone entering the chakra, making it appear

bright, balanced, centered, and healthy. Do this visualization until you

feel confident to move to the next chakra. Be sure to flick fingers to

release any negative energy before going to the next center. End with a

complete brushing of the aura.

 

The other option a healer has once the stones are placed is to sit

beside the receiver and simply wait, allowing the gemstones and spirit

guides to do the healing. As the receivers chakras and aura absorb and

are balanced by the crystal and gem energies, the stones begin to roll

off one by one.

 

When all the stones are off, or the receiver feels finished with those

that remain, the healing is over. End with a complete brushing of the

aura and allow the receiver to lie quietly without the stones. Ask for

feedback and discuss anything that you feel should be discussed. While

she is doing this, the healer can gather up the stones from the table or

floor and clear them again before putting them away. Put them into your

protective box.

 

A laying on of stones healing can be quite intense. There is often a

major energy shift during this type of healing. More frequent emotional

releases, past life and this life trauma openings and other

transformative events. The healers role in this is to wait for the

release to end and to be entirely non-judgmental. After a session, there

may also be a physical detoxification process that can continue for up

to a week. Be aware of what is happening and again, allow it. The

changes are always positive and are usually gentle.
