Introduction to Crystal Healing

Crystals and gemstones  have been eagerly sought after for thousands of years as items of beauty  and  items of power with mysterious gifts. There are many different ways that crystals and other stones have been used to enhance daily life .

  This workshop and  list focuses on some of the ways that these crystals and other stones are used in healing for  self and  and in promoting  spiritual development and  for assisting with protection, to draw abundance  to enhance meditation, to broadcast  affirmations and   to assist in psychic and spiritual communication.  There is never only one way to do anything. We can explore many different  forms of crystal healing practices.  Some are more effective for more people than are others but all have value.
 
  Each Crystal or stone has a potential of specialized gifts for us. Each can Draw in and radiate  healing energy specific to each stone and/or amplify  spiritual energies.  The uses of crystals and stones as energy transmitters of spiritual information and vibration is almost unlimited.

    This energy  may be seen as being the elemental energy of the stone itself  and/or as the Spirit  essence being.  The conscious aspect of all stones of a particular kind.  Some people work with crystals as tools to draw in and direct energy in a rather mechanical way as channels of  abstract energies.  Others may speak with   and invoke the stones as spirit entities.  Some people  hold that the effect of a stone to facilitate healing or meditation or  other dimensional journeying is   a side effect of the actual chemical composition of the particular stone. 

Some of us find that any and all ways of defining how or why crystal  healing works are true and  will   indeed work.  Many people start working with crystals in a rather mechanical way as tools rather than as beings and only later become aware of the spiritual conscious wisdom and nature of crystals as Beings .  We believe Everything is alive and conscious but that  if you do not have that belief  crystals will still work with you.

 Science Has scorned the mystical aspects of crystals and stones  but have  sought medicine and technological assistance  from the rocks and minerals of the world  . Crystals are used in many scientific applications.   It is common  for people to be amused and disbelieving about the healing and spiritual effects of crystals beyond the chemical and to dismiss mystical experiences as imagination. Imagination  is the gateway to transcendent experience.  Intuition has as much value as the often more respected rational mind.

You may or may not feel the energy of crystals or hear messages from them but you can still benefit from using them and connecting with them.

The Usual Disclaimer
         Crystal  healing and energy work are not a substitute for traditional Medical treatment, if  someone has  a serious health imbalance they should see a Doctor or other appropriate professional, and make complementary healing part of a complete health care program.

All healing is self healing the practitioner works with the crystals  and  with other methods  to assist themselves and others in facilitating their own healing.
