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 embraces the one true currency of life, love.
Amethysts
are the most well known healing stones on the entire planet.
Ancient people prized the deep purple amethyst which they used for
healing. Purple amethyst jewellery stills the mind during meditation
and calms the mind 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
