Crystal Therapy: How to Heal and Empower Your Life with Crystal Energy Crystal Therapy Practitioner
JUDITH LUKOMSKI
Author of "Crystal Therapy" written with Dr. Doreen Virtue I'd like to ask that we gather in unison and take a deep breath together.
Raising our hearts to heaven, let us travel with intention to the rainbow bridge... a place of wisdom, healing, peace and love. Together this evening we will share the gifts of crystalline energy.
It's a glorious vibration. Familiar as the very essence of us, as we are part of the crystal kingdom. Water and minerals are in our very beings. It is this connection that reminds to accept the gifts of the crystal family.
How many of you remember being drawn to the twinkle of a stone in childhood? A sparkle caught our eye, just as it has for centuries. Human kind has been drawn to the beauty of these wonderful friends, in discovering their unseen powers and gifts.
Crystal Therapy is really about understanding and accepting these gifts into our life. It is the practical application of crystal energy...the ability to partner with these beings, is to enhance our understanding of the Divine.
Crystal energy can assist you in the most amazing ways. They act as channels for information, help amplify energy, focus intention, and so much more. They can also be used to accelerate projects.
For example,,,,
When you're looking to increase your creativity, accept inspiration with the help of the artist's stone... Carnelian. It's a beautiful orange stone, which can assist you in accessing new ideas.
Healers and mystics have always known the power of crystals; for centuries they have worked in partnership with our friends in the mineral kingdom... connecting with rose quartz via a touchstone or jewelry to ease heartache or, working with calcite to assist in mending the body. Malachite is a favorite for helping the body ease stress. For those working in an office environment, black tourmaline can temper electronic stress. These practical applications are just a few ways to accept this power energy into your life.
One of the questions I most often hear is... "What is my stone?"
With that question in mind relax.... Allow yourself to close your eyes for a moment and enter the crystal cave. Here, you are surrounded with the colors of the rainbow in mineral form. See where you are drawn...
Purple? Amethyst? Blue Lapis? Red Ruby or Garnet? Yellow Citrine? Simply trust what you see and know...
The idea of a personal stone is helpful because it helps you dialogue with crystal energy. It's color allows you to focus and draw in information. For example, your personal stone can assist in meditation, by adding a heightened vibration to your intention. Or helping you open to a new channel of inspiration.
Wearing jewelry with a favorite stone is another wonderful to physically connect with the energy. How many times have you thought to wear a "lucky" ring, necklace, etc.? This bond of energy assists you throughout your day.
The partnership of energy is both powerful and palatable. The vibration intensity with a crystal may be gentle or hot to the touch. It is becoming aware of the connection that is most important.
When you what into a store, see where you are drawn. You may be surprised! The stone may not be the one you expect. It may not be the most beautiful, or largest. It will however, be perfect.
Trust the wisdom within and trust that the crystal will call you. Many times they will simply find you...through a friend, as a gift, in some cases they simply seem to appear overnight. As you get more in tune, you will find that a rhythm of movement forms.
You'll learn which stone to connect with to assist in health issues, prosperity, love and lots more. Truly these special friends have remarkable gifts to share.
It is a joy to be a guardian. With that joy is also a responsibility to care for your stones. Learning to cleanse, charge and program are all elements to consider. There are several ways to cleanse stones. Some of the most popular are with water, moonlight or sunlight, and with salt.
Programming is setting your intention. What are you asking the stone to assist you with? Receiving energy, sending energy, healing yourself, healing another, etc.
Charging is like resetting the battery. It's a boost done most often with sunlight or moonlight. The most important thing to remember is trust. You'll know what stone to select and learn how to work with it.
Simply, ask for guidance. Your Crystal Friends and Angels are always with you to help. * * * You mentioned several methods for cleansing...water, salt, moonlight, sunlight... are there certain specific procedures for each of those techniques? For instance...soak in purified water for 3 hours...rub with salt for 2 days...leave out during the first full moon...leave in sunlight for a day... that sort of thing.
There are traditional methods and some non-traditional ideas. As a rule of thumb, consider how you are using the stone. Is it a personal stone or a crystal used in a healing practice?
I believe the most effective and easiest to use is breath. With clear intention you can clear a stone as you would clear your own energy field. Regarding cleansing... with those 4 above mentioned techniques...are some crystals better for one method than another... for instance, is it wrong to rub salt on like a citrine?
Yes, for example you don't want to clear selenite with water. It may melt a bit. Fluorite will fade in the sunlight......you have to check the mineral composition before proceeding in some cases. * * * Judith Lukomski is a gifted, internationally known psychic, Crystal Therapy Practitioner, writer, speaker and teacher. A leader in raising crystal consciousness and intuitive development, Judith is the author of 'Crystal Therapy' written with our good friend Dr. Doreen Virtue.

Stone Spot Light Mother of Pearl & Pearl Mother of Pearl & Pearl It signifies faith, charity, and innocence, enhances personal integrity, and helps to provide focus to ones attention. The pearl has been known as a stone of sincerity, bring truth to situations and loyalty to a cause. It has been used to inhibit boisterous behavior, and to provide a reflection of the self such that one may see the manner in which one appears to others. * * * Mother-of-Pearl Mother-of-Pearl is similar to pearls in chemical composition, but unlike a pearl, which is the result of nacre secretions emitted to protect the mollusk from a foreign irritant entering the shell, mother-of-pearl comes from the actual shell of the animal. This natural secretion of calcium carbonate and aragonite causes the two main visual aspects that define mother-of-pearl: pearly luster and iridescence. Although far more abundant, and therefor, far less valuable than pearls, mother-of-pearl has been a major component in jewelry and decorative arts for thousands of years. From ancient Egypt and Persia, to ancient China, mother-of-pearl has been a prized semi-precious gemstone throughout human history. From the early 1900s, the coastal region of Broome, in Western Australia has been one of the largest producers of mother-of-pearl, accounting for up to 80% of world supply. As part of the shell building process, the mollusk will deposit layers of calcium carbonate held together by an organic horn-like compound called conchiolin. This combination of calcium carbonate and conchiolin is called nacre or mother-of-pearl. Mother of pearl (nacre) is a naturally-occurring organic-inorganic composite of calcium carbonate, aragonite, and other organic materials. The nacre is secreted by epithelial cells in the mantle tissue of certain mollusk species such as Abalone. In these mollusks, nacre is continually deposited onto the inner surface of the animal's shell. This process creates the iridescent nacreous layer, commonly known as mother-of-pearl. The iridescent quality of nacre or mother-of-pearl is due to the fact that the thickness of the aragonite platelets are about 0.5 micrometres, which is comparable to the wavelength of visible light. This results in absorptive and reflective effects on different wavelengths of light (pseudochromatic coloration), resulting in different colors of light being reflected when observed at different viewing angles. Simulated Mother of Pearl There are simulated mother-of-pearl substitutes which are created with a layered substrate of transparent or translucent plastic which has been pigmented with metal-oxide-coated mica pigment. On one layer of this substrate is a thin, transparent, thermoplastic resinous laminate film of around ten parallel layers, each with a differing in refractive index. Pearl gemstone meaning The pearl is the oldest known gem, and for many centuries it was considered the most valuable. Unlike all gems, the pearl is organic matter derived from a living creature - oysters and mollusks.
There is much folklore and tradition about the pearl. In fact so much history accompanies this stone that five months claim it as a birthstone - February, April, June (traditional), July and November.
The pearl is an astral stone for the signs Gemini and Cancer, and astrologers link it to the moon. It was said in some early cultures that the pearl was born when a single drop of rain fell from the heavens and became the heart of the oyster. Pearls have been called the 'teardrops of the moon'. Some believe that pearls were formed by the passage of angels through the clouds of heaven.
Over time, the pearl has become the symbol of purity and innocence and it is often sewn into bridal gowns, or worn as jewelry by the bride |
