CRYSTAL HEALING
by
Rita Teubner
When
a crystal or stone is held or topically applied, a person is accepting the
vibrations that the crystal or stone has to offer, either on the intentional or
unconscious level. An interaction
takes place between the vibrations of the crystals and the vibrations of the
person's body, which can facilitate healing on an emotional
and/or physical
level.
In
this essence the word healing takes on a whole new light. We all are creations
of Spirit and this includes the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms. The very
notion suggests that we are all greatly connected. By looking toward the mineral kingdom for assistance in the
healing process, we are connecting with another aspect of creation for
inspiration. The employing of crystals as healing tools is a means by
which one can look deeper within so as to obtain the understanding of the cause
of the distress that is causing illness or disease.
We don't really need to ask for the energy to affect changes in our energy field, as once the stone or rock come in contact with our energy field it automatically interacts with us. Crystals and stones can connect us with the core issues that need to be addressed and cleared. Crystals work on a vibrational level.
When a crystal is held in the hand or
placed upon one or more of the seven major energy centers, the vibrational
interaction starts to take place. When a person is experiencing distress, it is
a signal for the body, mind, spirit to take notice of the symptom.
The symptom is an indication that something is out of balance.
The original harmonious state in that area of the body is somehow out of
sync.
Distress
can be caused by many different elements. Emotions are something that can cause
a wide variety of symptoms. Belief systems are another cause for distress. The
exposure to certain environmental elements is another. The interaction with the
people that we encounter on a daily basis can sometimes create havoc
in our energy field.
There is one thing that all these elements have in
common
- Vibration.
All
these elements are composed of vibration. When an external or self promoted
vibration is introduced to our original body vibration, an interaction takes
place. This interaction of vibrations can either be beneficial to the body
system, or in the case of distress, a detriment to the body system.
When
we utilize crystals or stones as vibrational tools, the crystal’s vibration
will interact with the vibration of your body. If there is a disharmonious
vibration that is to be dealt with, the crystal has the ability to dislodge that
vibration so that the person can be aware of the reason behind the distress.
Hold
a crystal in your hand until the body heat warms it, relax and you will feel a
tingle from the crystal. Sometimes
it is good to take two different stones or crystals, one in each hand, to see if
you can feel the difference in energy.
Crystals and gems can be used in many ways. They can be placed throughout the home, on the headboard of your bed, under the pillow, under the bed, worn on the body in jewelry or in a medicine bag, and they can be used in healing tools.
Crystals and stones can pick up the energy of those who have handled the stones, so when you acquire new stones or crystals, or use them for healing, it is important that you cleanse the stones before use. A warm sea salt bath is usually very effective, as well as using energy to clear them.
