Introduction to Crystal healing

 

Crystals and gemstones have been eagerly sought after for thousands of

years as items

of beauty and items of power with mysterious gifts .There are many

different ways that

crystals and other stones have been used to enhance daily life .

This workshop and list

focuses on some of the ways that these crystals and other stones are

used in healing for

self and and in promoting spiritual development and for assisting

with protection and to

draw abundance to enhance meditation, to broadcast affirmations ,

to assist in psychic

and spiritual communication.

The uses of crystals and stones as energy transmitters of spiritual

information and

vibration is almost unlimited . Each Crystal or stone has a potential of

specialized gifts for

us. Each can Draw in and radiate healing energy specific to each stone

or amplifying

spiritual energies.

This may be seen as being the elemental energy of the stone itself or as

the Spirit

essence being, that is the conscious aspect of all stones of a

particular kind. Some people

work with crystals as tools to draw in and direct energy in a rather

mechanical way as

channels of abstract energies. Others may speak with and invoke the

stones as spirit

entities and some others hold that the effect of a stone to facilitate

healing or meditation or

other dimensional journeying is a side effect of the actual chemical

composition of the

particular stone. Some of us find that any and all ways of

defining how or why crystal

healing works are true and will indeed work.

Science Has scorned the mystical aspects of crystals and stones but

have sought

medicine and technological assistance from the rocks and minerals of

the world . Crystals are used in many scientific applications .

It is common for people to be amused and disbelieving about the

healing and spiritual

effects of crystals beyond the chemical and to dismiss mystical

experiences as imagination

but Imagination is the gateway to transcendent experience and

intuition has as much value as the often more respected rational mind.

 

You may or may not feel the energy of crystals or hear messages from

them but you can

still benefit from using them and connecting with them.

 

The Usual Disclaimer

Crystal healing and energy work are not a substitute

for traditional Medical

treatment, if someone has a serious health imbalance they

should see a Doctor or other

appropriate professional, and make complementary healing part

of a complete health care

program.

 

All healing is self healing the practitioner uses the crystals

and other tools to assist

themselves and others in facilitating their own healing

Crystal Healing Theories and speculations

 

There are many different systems and theories for working with crystals

and crystal

energy. Sometimes elements of one system will contradict another . One

system will tell

you to use and wear Obsidian constantly for grounding ,another will

tell you never to wear it at all and to keep Obsidian covered when not

it use .

One system will tell you to only use perfect clear natural crystals and

other will tell you

that chips and clouds and flaws are enhancements. Yet another will say

that only carved

spheres and wands should be used .

In some systems you must have a specific shape of crystal for each use

and for other

systems one crystal can be used for any purpose at all. Some will use

only clear quartz and many systems use a Rainbow of crystals and others

will only use one or two or three colors at once.

 

Some systems are full of warnings and precautions, others are anything

goes.

Some are very precise and formal and use methods based on years of

recorded research

Others rely primarily on the intuition of the practitioner and /or the

recipient of the crystal

work.

These differences may seem very confusing. Remember that each person

is drawing on

Their own experience and knowing. We will each find or receive ways of

working with

Spirit and with crystals that are in harmony with our own vision and

mission .

You may find that most of the systems work for you at least to a degree.

 

There are a lot of very clear and not so clear explanations for how

crystal healing works

and where it comes from.

 

When we ask various authorities we hear that Crystal healing works

because :

 

The sacred geometry of the crystalline structure causes healing by

resonance vibrating

your energies into sub molecular coherence .

 

The shape and numerological significance of the underlying crystalline

lattice is the most

important factor.

 

Crystal healing is a Gift from ( Spiritual Indicator Here)

 

Crystals are the echoes of the cosmic cycles. astrology is the key

 

The color and appearance of the crystals operate on the doctrine of

signatures

 

The Pleadians planted the crystals as healing devices

 

Crystals are a remnant of Atlantean Technology

 

The innate Spiritual energy awareness of the crystals themselves

creates healing

 

The chemical composition of the crystals facilitates healing

 

Its magic !

 

Crystals act as transmitters and transformers for universal life force

energy

 

The Ascended Masters communicate and heal using crystals as a tool

 

We Are crystals, The Earth Is a Crystal ,Crystals are all there is .

 

The Spirits of the crystals and of other elements is the force of

healing and wisdom.

 

Crystals are carriers of the Sacred rays of creation

 

The names of the crystals carry the purpose -Moldavite is for mold,

Apatite is for eating

disorders etc.

 

This is the gift of the Earth Mother and Sky Father

 

Crystals don't do anything but give the mind an anchor any other tool

will do too.

 

You get the idea. I'm sure I've missed quite a few and in case you

wonder I did not make

any of these up. The question is Does it work? What system works? and

the answers are

Yes it does and they all do. Some ideas and ways of working with

crystals work better for

me than others do. I do not personally find as much use for the

sometimes elaborate crystal devices and fancy layouts of some of the

Atlantean Temple Schools even though I've had an occasional view of

such a possible past dimension. I am committed to life on Earth and

doing what I can here and now so do not focus much on methods of

ascension . I am not waiting for the spaceships . The " its all in the

name " school does not do much for me and my experience was very

different than that teachers experience. She did not respect Turquoise

at all. ( I was wearing Turquoise at the lecture.)

 

There are some very interesting theories and methods of working with

crystals in some of

these schools . We will look into them a bit and if they sing to your

heart then follow that

path . I have had Rock Deva talk to me and rock energies run pulsing

through me So that

has some more influence on me than some of the more purely mechanical

approaches.

those work too but I like to acknowledge the life of the stones .

 

It does not matter if crystals talk to you or not everything is of the

whole.

The face I see may differ from what you see. In this workshop the hope

is that we can

discover our own ways of being .

There are healing and spiritual and magical practices involving

crystals in virtually every

Culture of the world. As with the ability to make bread or beer or use

fire, when you really

dig down to the early stories, what you hear is that Spirit Or spirits

gave humans this gift .

Usually to bail us out of some mess we had gotten ourselves into or on

occasion to reward

someone for some particular kindness , courage, bravery , virtue or

perseverance .

 

Whatever the underlying theories behind each of the many systems of

crystal work It may

be possible to separate the basic systems into broad categories

although such categories

would overlap considerably .

The technical or technology systems: are those that address the

crystals as objects as tools or machines Either from ancient

civilizations, off world colonization, or modern Science.

Structural systems: which deal with the physical properties , the

chemical and structural

makeup of crystals or even with numerological correspondences and

alchemy.

Mystical systems: which by various means seek harmony with the Spiritual

Core

both personal and Universal. The range of these is extremely broad and

encompass

intuitive, shamanic, religious and visionary practices related to

crystals .

These are just offered as launching points for your thoughts and

intuition
