CRYSTALS
Programming them & healing with them
All tumble stones / crystal / gemstones have their own individual frequency on which they vibrate and emit energy - very similar to ourselves.
A good example is the feeling we get when we meet a stranger for the first time - we either like them or don't.
We decide this by how we feel, by what energies / vibrations they give off.
When we find our soul mate and fall in love, could it be that both of us are emitting the same vibrations of energy?
Whatever your thoughts are you feel happy together, drawn to each other.
Your crystals are chosen in the same way - only select the ones that you feel happy with, the ones that draw you to them, the ones you feel you need.
Below are some examples of choosing crystals but remember they are only examples, you choose your crystal by whatever method you feel right with.
Stand in front of the crystals / stones you are going to choose one from, then close your eyes and relax.
Try to clear all the mayhem of your life from your mind, then when you feel ready, open your eyes.
Instantly pick up the first crystal you see, this is the one for you, the one you are naturally drawn to.
Another way is to run either hand through and over the crystals / stones you are looking at.
As you do this you will feel compelled to pick one up, this is your chosen crystal / stone.
You may feel the warmth emanate from the stone you have chosen - this is just to clarify you chose correctly.
You may just be looking at a selection of crystals / stones and you will straight away know which one to select.
It will appear as if it is calling out to you - pick me! pick me! don't ignore it, pick it, it's yours!
There are many other ways of selecting your crystals / stones so don't worry if none of the above work for you, although I am sure they will.
You will be able to select some beautiful crystal / stones to inspire as you travel through life.
Choosing a crystal / stone for a friend.....
Not a problem - the same principles above apply but this time picture your friend in your mind then select away.
You must remember to tell your friend to cleanse the crystal / stone before using it. See below.
Ok, now you have chosen those special crystals / stones you need to clean them, not of dirt or dust, but of negativity.
The crystals / stones you so perfectly selected may have come from anywhere.
As they travel on their paths to you they may have gathered negative energies from all places.
It could be from an unhappy mineworker or even a disgruntled shop keeper - who knows but they need a good cleanse.
This is very important as when you start to use your crystals / stones you do not want to be receiving negativity from them, but the positive energies they hold.
How you clean them is your choice but I have listed below some methods I have used and still use.
Remember to enjoy working and using your crystals / stones - learn to thrive on the energies they give out.
The pureness of water is a great way to cleanse your crystals / stones.
Normal tap is fine to use but only use cold water.
As you hold each crystal / stone in the flow of the water imagine all the negatives from the crystals / stones and your life flowing away.
Visualise all the goodness, happy memories and your strengths going into your crystals / stones and remaining there.
After cleansing, let your crystals / stones dry naturally, don't use a cloth to dry them, if possible place them out in the sun - the rays will generate the natural energies of your crystals / stones.
Your crystals / stones are now ready for you to programme. See below.
If water is not your thing, you can use the natural earth.
You can bury your crystals / stones (separately) under earth.
Our beautiful planet has the ability to thoroughly cleanse your crystals / stones effectively.
The naturally strong, powerful, magnetic energy that Mother Earth produces will automatically cleanse.
Watchout for the dog though, if you have one - mine dug 3 of my stones up! Thought they were treats.
Meditation can be used to cleanse your crystals / stones.
This is the method I regularly use.
Place all your crystals / stones in a circle and close your eyes.
Picture the circle and say the following, out loud if you wish or just in your mind.....
Spirit of the Universal Light and Energy, cleanse and remove the negativity from these crystals (stones) of mine.
Cleanse them and re-energise them with the power and energy of the Natural Spirit.
Energise them with pureness, love and wisedom, free them from the negative energies they may hold, cleanse them and fill them with light.
Open your eyes now - at this point I normally sense and see a glow of energy surrounding my crystals.
You may see the same but don't panic if you can't.
Your crystals / stones are now cleansed.
As with choosing your crystals / stones there are many ways to cleanse.
As I have mentioned before, it is your choice - you decide what you feel best with.
Remember to re-cleanse if you feel your crystals / stones do not feel right at any time.
Programming your crystals and healing.....
Crystals / stones can be programmed to help you with all sorts of life's ups and downs.
I tend to use them for 3 things.....
1. Healing.....
Choose a specific crystal / stone, ensure it is cleansed and verbally dedicate it to being used for healing.
Please do not use the same crystals / stones for different purposes as the energies are unique to each requested task.
The energies used for different tasks differ and mixed usage will surely weaken your crystals / stones.
You will be using your crystal / stone to channel the energies to help heal yourself.
Each and every one of us has the ability to heal ourselves, however this ability often lies dormant.
You must learn to channel your crystal / stone energy to activate your natural healing process.
Try placing your crystal / stone on the area that requires healing, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the results.
I use a nice chunk of clear quartz placed on the centre of my forehead to relieve stress and headaches - works every time.
But please remember, crystal healing is another form of healing NOT an alternative to visiting the doctor.
2. Meditation.....
Choose a beautiful crystal / stone for this task.
How you hold or where you place your crystal / stone during meditation is your choice.
I normally place a piece of amethyst on the centre of my forehead whilst lying down.
When you find your comfortable position, visualise your crystal / stone glowing with a beautiful light energy.
Imagine a wonderful place where you feel safe, secure and calm.
Relax, let the power of the crystal / stone cleanse your thoughts and mind.
Drift away, enjoy the inner peace.
Don't worry if you fall asleep, I can assure you you'll feel fully refreshed when you awake.
A tip though - don't drive straight away after meditating with your crystal / stone - I feel a little light-headed sometimes.
Enjoy.
3. Absent healing.....
Select your chosen crystal / stone and find a nice quiet place to sit and relax.
Now picture the person or animal that requires the healing - you can use a photo if you wish.
Hold your crystal / stone, you may feel it throbbing with energy, picture this energy surrounding the person needing the healing.
Imagine the energies covering and passing through this person.
Send your thoughts of peace, love and tranquility to this person.
Send them the energies from your crystal / stone, send them healing rays of energy.
There is no set time for this but as you finish, send a smile to them as well - or even think of sending them a crystal / stone of their own.
Remember to tell them how to cleanse and programme their crystal / stone
Using your crystals in your Home.....
Many people believe that the energy of the crystals that you have in your home will affect the energies within and the energies of the people living there.
Crystals absorb the energy from many things, events, emotions, positive and negative thoughts.
So therefore it is important to cleanse them regularly.
Arrangements of your crystals in your home can help maintain the home's feelings and energies.
Make crystals a decorative feature whilst providing energy for all.
Crystals absorb, repel and calm unbalanced energies.
They also set the energy within the space they are placed.
To obtain a basic clearing of negativity within your home, place a crystal in each corner - this will also give protection.
Large or small, the choice is yours - whatever you feel is right.
Amethyst is a good crystal to use in the home.
You can keep a small box with the 7 main chakra stones in to bring balance within the home.
Rose quartz is often placed near entrances to protect and greet your visitors.
Use both amethyst and rose quartz to help keep the atmosphere of a room positive and light-hearted.
Different obsidians or haematite placed near electrical appliances helps protect against the electrical energies given off.
Keep a small bowl of mixed crystals near your telephone to help calm difficult calls.
Citrine helps bookkeeping so place some in your study or office.
There are many ways and areas that crystals can help in your home - if you have any good ideas to share, let me know so I can add them to the site.
