Crystal therapy, like any form of treatment, works to an extent with the knowledge of the practitioner. Color and personality of the stone play important roles. Even the energy felt has a certain characteristic.
Crystal Therapy demands a certain respect, and optimally an understanding of underlying energies. Energy of the healer, person being healed, and the mineral all intertwine and tend to resonate toward one another. Perhaps most well known is how crystal therapy can affect the chakras. Each stone typically resonates with the energy that represents its color. However, Kyanite for example can balance all chakras, and is typically used to cleanse. With time you will find that each has its own personality. Such is true when working with or receiving crystal therapy.
In addition, there are certain forms of Reiki that provide these specific energies, such as with an ethereal crystal, a therapy that allows one to place the energy from one’s own mental image onto a person's body. This is beneficial because one can create these within a person’s ethereal body in order to create balance, or energize an area.
The simplest representation of which crystal therapy is appropriate is through color. These colors correspond to each chakra or energy center of a person. Here are a few recommendations:
• Root: Red – Rubies or Garnet
• Sacral: Orange – Hematite or Carnelian
• Solar Plexus: Yellow – Citrine or Amber
• Heart: Green/Pink – Rose Quartz or Emerald
• Throat: Light Blue – Aquamarine or Turquoise
• 3rd Eye: Indigo – Amethyst or Sapphire
• Crown: Violet/White - Clear Quartz or Amethyst
To perform crystal therapy, the chosen gem or mineral is placed on a person’s body that corresponds with the correct placement. Sometimes music notes may be played, such as the tones from a signing bowl. Each chakra resonates to a certain frequency. Other techniques for balance can include visualizing these energetic wheels spinning at the same rate, connected by a golden thread of light.
Meditation is also frequently empowered through crystal therapy. Each type serves a different purpose. Some help in the connection with guides or angels. Others help with focus or finding answers to a problem. Even some seem to have a personality and are quite amusing. Some have a prickly energetic feel, and some might be experienced as squishy or fuzzy. Whatever you need, there is the right crystal for your therapy.
