I offer spiritual readings which include a variety of metaphysical tools. I work primarily with the subconscious and tapping into emotional or mental blocks that prevent a person from living their fullest spiritually. In my opinion, there is a great need to connect the conscious mind to the unconscious in whatever means necessary. Primarily I use dream therapy and guided imagery. Among the tools that I use in conjunction with imagery are crystals and crystal healing.
To show you how I implement crystals, I’ll walk you through a session held with a client named Daniel. Daniel was suffering with nightmares, restlessness and negative thoughts. He’d tried psycho-pharmaceuticals, sleep aids, and had even gotten himself into trouble with drugs and alcohol in an attempt to soothe his pain. He was unable to release the negative energies within and surrounding him. I came to learn that Daniel had gone through some traumatic events in childhood that he never really fully processed. As a result, we needed to find a way to rid the excess negative energy so that he could be clear enough to tap into his higher power and inner child.
During the first session with Daniel I had him pick a crystal from my crystal healing table. Color preferences are often indicators of what is going on, on deeper levels. The colors correspond to the Hindu chakra system, which align with the colors of a rainbow. The chakras are our seven healing centers that exist in a row along the spine. I knew whatever stone Daniel picked would help me uncover what and where he most needed to release negative energy. Daniel picked an amethyst that was dark purple in color. This did not surprise me and indicated that Daniel’s crown chakra, or highest spiritual center, was where the unfavorable energy dwelled. This was preventing him from feeling unconditional love or inspiration from the divine.
Next, I had Daniel sit in a chair and close his eyes while holding the amethyst. I walked him through a guided imagery where he ascended stairs up to his highest chakra (using metaphorical images and scenery). There we discovered his deepest fears. Finally, I had Daniel pull all the negative energy into the crystal and out of his body.
After several weeks of working with the crystals, Daniel began to show positive changes. He trusted the crystals and considered them his friends. The crystals, when squeezed, can convert energy (scientists call this the piezoelectric effect). When we hold a crystal, it takes on our energy. This is because crystals are arranged atomically perfect, in a three-dimensional pattern (versus the chaotic arrangement of atoms in basically everything else on Earth). This is due to crystals being formed underground for millions of years. Crystals actually transmit energy in all kinds of electrical devices including your computer and your cellphone. Scientifically, when we work with crystals, we are actually working with our own body’s electricity.
Crystals can absorb energy, then, when placed next to cleansing stones, in water, or in sunlight, they release their energy, and the crystal becomes renewed. When Daniel passed the energy inside and around him into a crystal, I would cleanse it directly after each session. In this way, crystals are great and powerful entities of Earth, much like alchemists or shamans. They are very special as they encapsulate all of the magic of nature. They are the batteries of nature, with multiple uses, including bioenergy regulation.
Using mantras or affirmations while holding your crystal can help you manifest what you wish into reality. The crystal will basically capture your desire, and when you hold the crystal again, you’ll be able to feel your intention stored richly within the stone. Working much like fractals, your wish becomes amplified, then it is absorbed back into the body when you hold the crystal again. Crystals are essentially amazing energy conduits. We should all be using them if we want to make healing a little bit easier in our lives.
