Lately I have been interested in crystals and their role in healing. I've had some really good results and enjoy the look and feel of them. I find them very interesting. It got me thinking - a couple of niggling health issues I've been working on for a while have improved within a couple of weeks of applying the "appropriate" crystal remedy. I understand their power to amplify and absorb energies and although I am only a beginner I can theoretically understand that as the most organised matter on the planet they have special significance but am I just kidding myself .... is everything really just an excuse to feel better, to heal myself. Let me give a hypothetical example of this: John suffers from a minor health issue. He has done all the sensible things suggested by both mainstream medical doctors and alternative practitioners but he finds little relief from his complaint. He understands about the law of attraction and knows that if he starts to consistently feel better (since he has "asked" many times for improvement/complete healing) he will see an improvement but try as he might, he can't sustain the good feelings because he just can't "let go" of the complaint. He is too invested in "sorting" it all out. Someone suggests crystal healing or any other healing modality and he immediately has success - are the crystals, acupuncture, operation, drugs, herbal or whatever has been suggested the "cause" or are they merely the PERMISSION SLIP he needs to let go of the health issue? If so, are all the techniques discussed on IQ really just permission slips, the stories we tell ourselves about our situation, or do some things give us additional power outside ourselves to heal, manifest or whatever it is we desire?

Yes, they are just permission slips. But do not disregard permission slips, they are awesome, and that's why we are creating them. To heal requires you to vibrate at a frequency that allow the healing to happen. And so it is when you use different modalities to heal. A healer, a crystal, etc.. is just vibrating at this frequency, and the person to be healed is just matching this frequency, thus allowing the healing to occur. Bashar would explain it better than me in this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8IqS0vLbgk It's not the best extract of Bashar talking about this, there is a session where he asks one participant "how does a healer heals ?", before giving his explanations, but it is along those lines. 1
@Yva Thank you so much for this answer Yva - this is exactly what I had thought - I had sensed that they are just permission slips but what the heck I find them really powerful and really useful.

@Yva I love both the answers to my question but I have to say your answer really strikes a cord with me and I am marking it down as the accepted answer - thanks again.

Your question took me back to my high school days. When I was late to school ,better said when I showed up at first break.I would have to get a permission slip to go to the next class. At first break the staff would also take their break. So I realized that I could fill in my own permission slip and time stamp it. (The office was open and empty and the slips and the time stamp machine were out on the counter). 3
@ursixx Love the story about your school days. I so agree with the idea of writing your own permission slips and as for the crystals "finding me" that is exactly what the books on crystals say, it is a vibrational match type of thing. This is a lovely answer and I thank you for it.

@Catherine - Great question. You got terrific answers. (I bet @ursixx was a real little hellion). >:) Until recently, I had usually doubted the validity or value of things that could make life easier or better. I somehow acquired the belief that life is hard, then you die: Everything else is just whinning and fluff. It turns out, that belief just made me powerless and paralyzed, with no self-respect. And of course, life was hard. :) I had a vague impression that permission slips (or processes, or tools of really any kind) were something almost to be ashamed of; simply excuses or crutches for a feeble mind to use to access power that "should" always be available, anyway... If I were a better/stronger/smarter/more "spiritual" person, I would simply sprout wings, and fly. :) Right now, I'm understanding and appreciating the assertion here that we can respect permission slips as matching vibrations that can be true way-makers. I am now seeing permission slips more as useful avenues to my own power - a subtle difference, but an important one, to my mind. Perhaps one day, I will simply sprout a pair of gossamer wings and fly away. Sounds like fun! :D For today I'm enjoying my permission slips, beginning with where I am, working with what I have, and not despising the day of small things. :) |

Whatever crutch you need. Anything goes.
@CalonLan I prefer the term "permission slip" rather than crutch but it's up to you which term you use of course.
love this question, thanks
@Catherine as Grace and CalonLan suggest, if the permission slips work for you then enjoy it, whether they be crystals, acupuncture, graphs, teddy bears ... so long as they fit your own individual structure and imaginary world they will work :)
Very nice question!
