CRYSTAL THERAPY: 

AN INITIATION BY SPIRIT

 

Crystals are sacred geometry, energy, and

Spirit in physical form—born of Mother Earth.

Crystal healing works through the principles of vibration or energy.  When they are laid on the body over the chakras, around the body, or simply carried in a pocket, crystals, gems, and stones vibrate at a specific rate, based not only on their physical chemical structure, but on their more subtle energies, their spirit or life force.  Through the process of entrainment, these coherent spiritual energies bring about healing or new awareness and abilities in the recipient. 

Your Chakras:

Sacred Centers of Light

Every living being including the Earth and the Universe has spinning vortices of energy called chakras.  In fact, you have thousands of chakras in and around you.  Deep within your physical body are located the seven major chakras that most affect your daily life.  Each of these energy centers has a different frequency, color, function, and purpose. . . .

Crystal Therapy:  An Initiation by Spirit

By Theda Renee Floyd, PhD, RN, HHP

There is not a formal attunement for crystal therapy; it is an initiation by Spirit.  By allowing each crystal to speak directly to our hearts and work, its energies amplify our own innate healing powers to bring peace and spiritual harmony to people, animals, plants, spaces, and the Earth.  My initiation into crystal and stone work occurred when I was five when my grandparents, avid rock hounds, took me to Agate Beach on the Oregon Coast for a day of treasure hunting.  Grandma Evelyn gave me a big empty coffee can to fill with the naturally polished beach stones that I collected that day, my treasures—jaspers, carnelians, moss agates—and I have been collecting and working with crystals and stones ever since. 

Crystal therapy is an ancient art often referred to as the laying on of stones.  Crystal healing works through the principles of vibration or energy.  When they are laid on the body over the chakras, around the body, or simply carried in a pocket, crystals, gems, and stones vibrate at a specific rate, based not only on their physical chemical structure, but on their more subtle energies, their spirit or life force.  Through the process of entrainment, these coherent spiritual energies bring about healing or new awareness and abilities in the recipient. 

Crystals are powerful energy conductors, and their intriguing shapes, colors, and inclusions influence how they amplify energies.  Crystals, gems, and stones are all minerals.  Minerals are defined as homogenous, naturally occurring, inorganic solids.  As a result of the orderly arrangement of its atoms, each mineral has a composition that can be expressed in a chemical formula and has a characteristic crystalline structure.  Crystals embody the symmetrical forms of sacred geometry.  We see these forms repeatedly throughout nature from snowflakes to DNA strands, from seashells to galaxies.  The atoms which make up minerals and all matter in the universe are in constant motion or vibration.  This vibration affects the physical structure and energetic field of each stone. 

Quartz crystals are composed of silicon dioxide, a colorless substance.  The color that we see in crystals is due to trace elements that penetrated the silicon dioxide matrix as the crystal formed.  These trace elements affect not only the color of the crystal; they also change the frequency or vibrational rate of the quartz.  It is important to note that just as we are individuals, each crystal is also unique.  The pulse, vibratory rate, or energy, of a particular crystal may not be a good fit for one person, but may be quite perfect for another. 

In a crystal healing session, semiprecious stones and precious gemstones may be used to assist with healing.  Like crystals, stones and gems emit energy, as well as receive, absorb, transform, and transmit it.  Most of the stones used by the crystal healer are members of the quartz and chalcedony family, such as amethyst, aventurine, agate, carnelian, citrine, rose quartz, and smoky quartz.  There are some crystal healers who also harness the energies of gemstones, such as diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires.  Gemstones themselves can easily be overlooked when in their natural, uncut state but their attributes remain the same.  An uncut sapphire, for example, which costs a mere fraction of the price of a faceted stone, is just as effective for healing as the most brilliant cut gem. 

Through the processes of vibration, resonance, and entrainment, crystals bring color and light into the physical body via the chakra system and the associated subtle body layers of the aura.  Deep within the physical body are located the seven major chakras that most affect daily life.  These chakras actually exist in the subtle body which surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body.  Each of these energy centers has a different frequency, color, function, and purpose.  They serve as gateways between various levels of consciousness or dimensions.  Impaired chakra function has profound effects on our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. 

All of the chakras should be of the same openness and size unless one is intentionally expanding them on a temporary basis as in healing or clairvoyant work.  As the chakras exist in many dimensions simultaneously, they thus provide points of entry into those dimensions.  The quality and quantity of energy that we encounter on a particular plane has to do with how open or closed the respective chakra is, or how able we are to control this opening and closing at appropriate times.

An ailing chakra may be unable to change its state easily, being stuck in either an extremely closed or open state.  The chakra then needs healing by uncovering and removing whatever is blocking it.  In crystal therapy, crystals, gems, and stones may be positioned on the body over the chakras.  As each chakra resonates to a particular color, we frequently align stone color with chakra sites; however, this is not a rigid rule.  Trust your intuition, as you become more comfortable using stones and listening to their messages. 

To get started in crystal healing, you will need a set of seven or eight round or oval chakra stones about one inch in diameter and at least one quartz crystal point.  These can be used for both healing and spiritual development.  If you already have some personal crystals, you can use those, as they are endowed with your personal magic and energies.  If you do not have any personal crystals, one inch diameter pieces of tumbled smoky quartz, carnelian, citrine, aventurine, rose quartz, amazonite, amethyst, clear quartz, and at least one clear quartz point would be a good initial purchase. 

Having an assortment of quartz crystal points though is exceedingly helpful for practicing the laying on of stones, creating healing grids, and developing healing crystal and gem elixirs.  Crystals can also be used in meditation to develop intuition and learn from the higher senses; placed under the pillow during sleep to inspire lofty and prophetic dreams; employed in ceremonial rituals; and placed in sacred spaces.  If we trust our intuitive abilities, we can access a universal well of crystal applications and wisdom passed through our genetic heritage. 

Crystals, stones, and gems emit energy, as well as receive, absorb, transform, and transmit it.  The energies of crystals amplify our own innate healing powers to bring peace and spiritual harmony to people, animals, plants, places, and the Earth.  Conversely, through energy work crystals can be cleansed, charged, and programmed, further enhancing their spiritual connection.  If you should decide to attune to and work with crystals, it will likely become a life long endeavor just as it has been for me.  Crystals are sacred geometry, energy, and Spirit in physical form—born of Mother Earth.
