An Introduction to Crystals

Crystals choose you as much as you choose them! Crystals draw you to them, fall out of bowls into your hand. The more you handle crystals, the more you will be able to feel their energy and vibrations, the more you will hear them 'speak' to you.

You can develop your intuition and your own vibrational energetic awareness by working with crystals. My own experience is that I am intuitively drawn or guided in some way to a particular crystal, and then find confirmation in a good crystal reference book. As with any healing and vibrational medicine, intention is all and so you must use crystals with clarity and self-awareness for optimum healing.

Healing with crystals is a very ancient therapy and takes many forms. Crystals amplify our own self-healing powers and enhance our natural ability to heal loved ones, animals and even places. Some healers use crystals (often in wand shapes) to amplify healing energies that they are channelling. Crystals can be placed on the body during a healing session or in a meditation for balancing or to enhance a particular intention or focus. A crystal pendulum can be used for dowsing body imbalances of energy. You can self heal with crystals, wearing or carrying them, and you can also use crystal 'grids' - layouts of crystals - for specific purposes.

Healing can also happen with meditation as a kind of self-diagnosis, where you ask for guidance about a crystal that would be most appropriate for you at the time. Distance healing can also be greatly enhanced by the use of crystals.

Rose quartz, amethyst and clear crystal quartz seem to be naturally attuned for healing. Start with these, work with them and enjoy their energies. Then move on, in an organic way, to build up your won collection of crystals that you can use as a repertoire for healing.

Healing energies operate outside the time space continuum. This means that healing can effectively travel through time and space to reach anyone anywhere with immediate effect
