Touching Crystals

Letting people touch your stones 

Some people feel that their stones and crystals should only be touched by 
themselves. Others worry that negative energy will be picked up by stones 
that others handle.

While you may have some crystals you keep as personal stones and it is nice
if folks don't mess up your dedicated grids, usually No harm is done when 
people pick up your crystals. The people may be responding to the call of a 
crystal which has healing energy or other value for them. Most people are 
helped by contact with crystals and stones. Stones which do absorb negative
energy are easily cleared.

When young children are around, small stones which might be swallowed and 
any toxic stones should be kept out of reach. Adults can be asked to ask before 
handling stones because some are fragile etc. I encourage people to handle or 
touch stones that attract them . The stones can be cleared later in the unlikely 
event they need it. Usually those stones and crystals which find their way into 
our homes have chosen to be our helpers. Many stones are energized by 
interacting with people. When you expect people over you might meditate and 
ask your crystal family if there are stones that would prefer to be put away 
or covered during the visit and follow any intuitive urgings you pick up.

The universal energy surrounds and enfolds us all people and crystals and all 
other beings can draw on this energy at all times, are of and within this energy 
and love and life . Trust that the stones will come to no harm trust that friends
and family and others will also come to no harm and only benefit from being around 
the crystals and stones. You should usually ask if you may touch another persons'
crystals as many people prefer that they be the only person to handle the stones 
and crystals they work with.

This is the rather arbitrary end page so far for part one of the crystal healing 
workshop. If you have read all the pages so far you will have covered the material 
found in most basic crystal healing courses. There is no test, no certificate and no 
fee for this online course. I am the author of this material except where noted. part 
two starts with Quartz Master Formations and continues through gridding and 
other more advanced crystal healing methods
