Therapy Of The Mineral Kingdom

---------------------------------------------------------
Healing With Crystals

Vibrant, jagged and spectacular; crystals dazzle with their beauty. Initially, it may be their loveliness that beckons us to pick one up; but the good vibes we feel when we hold a crystal may be our body responding to its particular curative quality. These therapeutic stones, which are forged deep within Mother Earth, have been used for thousands of years to restore balance to the body, mind and spirit. Crystals carry pure energy, and each type possesses its own vibration. They radiate energy in a coherent, highly concentrated form and as a result they have the power to interact and affect our own energies and auras, bringing healing and repair on all levels. They harmonize the body much like a tuning fork.

There are many types of crystals and each one has its own special healing and awakening property. Some even correspond to specific chakras. The Clear Quartz, for instance, amplifies, focuses, stores and transforms. It is a multi-purpose gem so if you can only afford one stone, this should be your choice. Quartz is used in clocks, computers, lasers and radios because it is able to accumulate and intensify energy within its structure and send it back out. On the body, this crystal reinvigorates and helps the immune system. It can also cleanse and eliminate blockages.

While there are certified practitioners who are trained to work with these geometric forms, anyone can enjoy and benefit from this ancient practice. First choose a stone; one way is through intuition. If you are drawn to a crystal then that is the stone for you. It is suggested that you should never let anyone touch your crystals to keep the energy pure. Each crystal should be cleansed before use to clear any negative energy attached to it. One way is to place it outside in a glass bowl with spring water and sea salt for three days; rinse with spring water; and the place it on your altar or sacred space for 3 days. After your crystal is cleared, place it in your hand to infuse your stone with a purpose. You can do this by lying down and placing the crystal on your body wherever you feel it is appropriate. Play some soft music and breathe deeply into your belly; as you do so, visualize the positive energy of the crystal swirling within you. Setting your intention stimulates the melding of your personal power with that of the mineral kingdom, thus manifesting light, love and the good of all.
