Crystals, gems, and minerals contain healing energies just as herbs do. Although herbal healing has been studied and brought into the sphere of traditional medicine, the science and study of crystal healing has largely been left to the realm of alternative medicine. Crystal-healing practitioners must often take obscure routes in order to learn and practice their profession.
Instructions
1. Collect one stone for each of the seven chakras, as listed above, plus a quartz crystal to boost the energy and effectiveness of them all. Choose specific pieces of stone that feel good in your hands. You can use rough, faceted, or tumbled stones for healing work, according to your personal preferences.
2. Study each stone's healing properties by using the references listed below. Take notes on each of these eight stones in your notebook.
3. Meditate on each stone, in turn. Hold it in your hands as you open yourself to its healing energies and rhythms. Record your experiences and insights in your notebook.
4. Activate the healing energy of each stone by placing it on yourself over its respective chakra. Bring your personal energy to that chakra, allowing it and the stone's energies to interact.
5. Practice crystal healing on yourself by placing the appropriate stone on a given chakra that is impaired. For instance, place the amethyst at your crown, the lapis lazuli at your third eye, and hold the quartz crystal to treat a headache. Keep records of what does and doesn't work for you.
6. Perform several months of case studies with friends and family who are suffering from chronic impairments. Keep records of their impressions and their healing experience over time.
7. Advertise for local clients after you have demonstrated proficiency with the stones and crystals. Continue to keep detailed records, and be sure to advise them to seek traditional medical treatment in conjunction with this and any other alternative healing practices you may offer.
