The
use of crystals as vehicles for healing and
for use in massage is nothing new. Many
cultures and religions have bestowed magical
powers and reverence upon crystals and
gemstones.
They
are seen as healing because they come from
the earth and are infused with planetary
energy. Each stone is unique in shape,
colour, size and derivation and is believed
to carry its own energetic vibration.
According to some teachings, living things
are a continuous flow of life force. In the
natural course of living, this energy can
become blocked. Blockages cause physical,
mental and emotional distress.
Rose Quartz is one of the
most popular crystals along with amethyst
and clear quartz. It has a calming and
soothing energy. It promotes self-love and
helps overcome feelings of not being 'good'
enough, self-criticism and resentment. It
reminds us that when you love yourself and
are happy in the moment there is no need for
haste.
Rose Quartz is the most
powerful for dealing with affairs of the
heart. It opens up the heart for both giving
and receiving love. It soothes negative
influences. This stone is good for dealing
with issues on an emotional level. It is the
ideal stone for dealing with a "broken
heart". Rose quartz is also good for helping
one to release childhood traumas, neglect,
lack of love, self-esteem. The best stone
for opening the 4th chakra
Spiritual and Healing
Properties of Rose Quartz:
Pink quartz (rose quartz)
allows you to be in touch with your basic
self. It will allow you to get to know your
true self and to love that true self in all
its beauty. It can also allow you to
communicate internally with your spirit
guides, which means you may or may not be
aware of them but they are teaching you all
the same.
Amethysts
are the most well known healing stones on
the entire planet.
Ancient people prized the deep purple
amethyst wand which they used for healing.
Their reputation is well deserved and
amethyst wands were used by pointing the
wand at the patient to bring energy to them
and pointing the wand away to draw out
blocked energy This technique is still just
as popular today and still used by crystal
healers.
A deep purple amethyst wand or cluster is
translucent, purple lavender quartz. Purple
amethyst jewellery stills the mind during
meditation and calms for sleep with inspired
dreams. Deep purple Amethyst is also reputed
to aid inner alignment, balances inner
bodies, energizes, clears energy blocks and
eases arthritis.
Before using crystals they should be
cleansed to rid them of any negative energy
or vibrations that they may have picked up
from anyone who has handled the crystal
before.
There are various ways to remove negative
vibrations from crystals and this can be
easily done by a Reiki practioner. The
inherent healing power of crystals can also
be enhanced by being charged with Reiki
healing
