The first time I laid crystals and stones on another person was in a
crystal store where I worked for a short time before Wisdom Crystals came
into physical being. My coworker, Lorien, was a wonderful and willing
guinea pig, and on slow afternoons she would lie on the floor in a quiet
corner of the store and I would place crystals and stones on and around
body. Often I would use a healing wand to work the energy around her body
and in her chakras. Her job was to enjoy the attention and to report what
feelings - physical and emotional - she experienced. Once word got out
what we were doing, there was no shortage of volunteers. What I gained
from those initial experiences was that crystals really do create positive
physical and emotional responses in individuals when used in layouts and
grids on and around the body.
I also learned that I got much better results and was better able to
discern energy shifts if I was energetically clear and grounded before I
started working. Being grounded and having the chakras clear and flowing
with energy is important for optimum healing facilitation. I equate it
energetically to working in the attic and then the garden and then coming
in all sweaty and grubby and choosing to take a bath and put on clean
clothing before attending the opera. We clean our bodies and put on clean
and appropriate clothing before we go to important events. Energetically
we should do the same thing before we attend a healing facilitation. There
are several things I have found to be helpful to this end, for a healing
session as well as for overall everyday energetic balance.
Grounding the Energy
It is important to always be fully grounded when doing any spiritual
and/or healing work. One simple way to ground one's self is to imagine a
great root, like a strong tree root, growing from the base of your spine
(or growing from each of your feet) and extending deep into the Earth all
the way to the its core, where it can be attached to something meaningful.
I like attaching my grounding cord to a beautiful golden healer crystal at
the Earth's core. What this does is put you totally into your physical
body so you can be attuned to receiving information about the events and
people around you. You can ground yourself as many times a day as you feel
necessary. When you desire to re-ground, mentally melt, blow up, or
disintegrate the old grounding cord and grow a new one. In this way you
can always remain well grounded no matter where you are or what you are
doing.
Quick Chakra Sweep
A quick and easy way to clear and align chakras is with an energy chakra
sweep. To do this, grow your grounding cord and start the flow of healing
energy by expressing your intent with a statement such as, "I desire to
receive and move energy now." Once the energy flow is activated, place
your left hand over your crown chakra at the top of your head, place your
right hand over your brow chakra and allow the energy to flow there for
about two minutes. Then move to the throat chakra, the heart, solar
plexus, belly, and root chakras, allowing a couple of minutes for each
chakra.
If you become aware of any discordant energy in any chakra you can release
it easily by growing a tube next to your grounding cord and flushing the
energy down the tube into the Earth's core for transformation. After you
have completed the root chakra, leave your hands over the crown and root
chakras and allow the energy to flow up and down between your hands
through your entire chakra system for a couple of minutes. Sometimes it
feels like little energy spirals are bouncing back and forth between your
hands. When you feel that the process is complete blow up your grounding
cord and grow a new one. This is an exercise that can easily be done every
day.
A Crystal Healer's Tool Box
Just as a doctor has a medical bag, and an electrician or plumber has a
tool bag, a crystal healing facilitator has his or her own set of tools
that have special purposes in ceremony and in healing. There are a number
of excellent stones that one can choose for a healing "tool chest," and
many are reasonably inexpensive. Most people who enjoy and collect
crystals and other minerals already know that the perfect stones will
present themselves if the desire is put out to the universe. Keep in mind
that you may find very different purposes and healing qualities for a
crystal or mineral that are activated when you personally create your own
stone layouts for yourself or for others. I suggest you meditate upon your
favorite stones to find what qualities your energy brings out in them and
then take good notes for future reference.
