What is Crystal Therapy?
A form of vibrational medicine, crystal therapy involves the application of crystals or gemstones to faciliate healing.

Rocks and gemstones house spiritual and healing properties that can be tapped into a variety of ways. Crystals can be carried or worn on the person, or they can be placed in a location where their healing vibrations can be felt by whoever is nearby. Healers also place stones on their clients reclined bodies to balance the chakras and aura.

Each type of stone has its own unique talent. Gemstone colors, shapes and textures all have special meanings. Crystal elixirs can be made by soaking crystals for a few hours in a glass of water. Crystals are also used for divination and meditation purposes. You can intuitively choose which crystals to use by noticing which stones you are attracted to. Keep your heart and hands open and allow the appropriate crystals to find their way into your life.

Step 1
Begin by sitting comfortably, either in a straight backend chair or on the floor. Sitting in the Lotus Position is optional.

Step 2

Step 3
Focus your eyes on the crystal. Breathe in deep breaths through your nose and release the breath through your mouth. Try to clear your mind of all thoughts.

Step 4
Bring your focus back to the crystal and continue the breathing practice anytime you catch your mind wondering, thinking of everyday concerns.

Step 5
End your practice by closing your eyes, taking a deep breath and allowing your body to completely relax.

Programming Your Gemstone

• Hold the crystal or gemstone in your hand and sense its energy. With the stone being newly cleared, the energy will feel stronger and even more appealing that before.
• As you sense this energy and appreciate it, ask quietly to be connected to the deva of the crystal or gemstone. Through not animate, stones are living things and the deva of the piece is the stone's life-force energy.
• Once you feel you have sensed what you can from the energy, think of what you will be using the stone for. Think of these uses, and then quietly ask the gemstone if it is willing to act in the way you wish. The crystals energy may increase with a yes or seem to disappear with a no. If the stone accepts your intent, state in your mind that it be so.
