I am a Certified Crystal Healer, Fairy Princess, and also a Certified Reiki Crystal Healer...So you have asked a question that is right up my alley, so-to-speak...:)

Everything that has to do with crystals has to do with the energy of the aura. We have an envelope of energy surrounding us, called an aura, and it is created by our chakras.

The picture above shows the chakras and where they are located, and the colors associated with them (generally). Crystal healing depends on the vibrational energy of the crystal working to balance the chakras back to their best state.

For example, if you had an imbalance in your root chakra, I would use a red stone such as a ruby, or a black stone such as a smoky quartz, and place two of these stones on either side of the root chakra. I use crystals as an adjunct to my Reiki Healing. Reiki is something you can Google to learn more on that.

So, if I find your heart chakra imbalanced, I would use a green or pink (also affiliated with the heart) stone to balance the heart chakra. Such a stone layout all over the body might look like this:

For more information on this, you can email me (and yes, I will answer you!). Here is a picture of my portable crystal healing kit--just to give you an idea of how precise and huge this love of mine is!

Thanks for asking a great question.

Love,

Among the Shamanic articles I have collected is a small basket of crystals about 6"x7"x5". These were used by a Shaman in Nepal. The large basket (kit) also contains a variety of other articles.

If you will scroll down to a picture of a large basket with a smaller basket (in another image) you can see the crystals used by this Shaman. The pictures of articles in this kit continue until you see a beautiful old bell with an incredible use patina.

All the articles fit into the large basket, except the drum.

Shaman Kit

ANd here is the basket and crystals that came in he kit. It smells of smoke and incense.

This kit was collected by a very close friend who lives in Kathmandu. It is absolutely correct. Handling these articles is a spine-tingling event.

I have always loved crystals, especially for their beauty and have often wished to experience them but without really having found a way that suits me, so my crystals up to now have been considered as purely ornamental. Sure there're specialists in this domain that speak of visions and being able to see into the future thanks to cristals, however I'm talking from a beginners point of view.

I now realize that my difficulty was to identify what sensitivity means to me as a novice rather than think that if I don't immediately have visions and see into the future using a cristal then I have not got what it takes. Now I know that anyone can learn to do it.

The vibrational energy emitted by natural crystals and stones can be used to restore both physical and psychological equilibrium. They can also be used to induce increased awareness based on activating the mind and emotions by the simple presence of the mineral. Increased awareness of emotions, state of being, intuitive and instinctive impressions and development this innate capacity simply by doing it slowly. Calm and practice are the keys to success.

There's an exercise for beginners that I'm experimenting that certainly brings beneficial results , it's simply placing the mineral on the palm of my hand and meditating. Practicing with different varieties of minerals enables easy comparison of the effect of each of them. The influence of minerals are subtle and discrete and it's only by the different effects that they bring that it's possible to learn, identify and define the different reactions that they induce.

This exercise seems important for two reasons;

firstly it opens the door to a instantaneous influx of the properties of the mineral bringing all it's beneficial influences

secondly more importantly it allows identification of the impact of the mineral on myself, it allows me to truly experience it. My sensitivity is unique to me and can't be applied to others, each individual has their own sensitivity that can be developed depending on their personal experiences, strengths, weaknesses, character and state of being at any one time that are only valid for them and nobody else.

A crystalline element is used in devices such as detectors, oscillators, energy converters. Crystals and stones have 3D fixed geometric internal lattice patterns in which level boundaries intersect at different angles due to their internal structure and as such function as a template, that is, a guide for producing an accurate result similar to when using a radionic graph ... hmmm

In 1959 H.O.Busby published an article about "how to impregnate pebbles with powerful forces". His technique was purely mental; he took a pebble in his hands and thinking of a beneficial cosmic energy with the intention of charging the stone with this cosmic force. He noted that to charge another pebble with the same energy all he needed to do was leave it in contact with the charged stone for 24 hours, in the open air, on a sheet of metal (metal is a bad conductor of these energies). Once charged the stone emits a constant force and will continu to do so without weakening. It seems that it acts as a relay for cosmic energy, giving as much as it receives, cosmic energy meaning ambient energy available everywhere.

There seems to be many phenomena that remain potentialities, and it's interesting to note that with the aid of forms they can be evoked, rendered perceivable to the mind, and activated into physicality, just as Newton demonstrated the invisible existence of the natural phenomenon of attraction between physical objects with mass "gravity" the weakest of the four fundamental forces of nature, a force being defined as a push or pull that changes the object's state of motion.

The two forces that are clearly obvious are gravity (an apple falling from a tree) and electromagnetism (holds atoms together to form the physical world) for example it's the force that holds your physical body together without which it would disintegrate, it's the force that holds the chair rigid you sit on otherwise you and the chair and the earth itself and everything else would all melt together.

The two other fundamental forces work at atomic levels thus normally remain out of our range of sensitivity, there's the strong force that holds the nucleous of atoms together and the weak force that disintegates it.

So what does all this demonstrate? ... well it shows the importance of intention and the definition of intention in the free dictionary is "an aim that guides action".
