A HISTORY OF CRYSTALS

As Cosmetics: The Early Egyptians used powdered malachite and lapis lazuli as eyeshadow.

Jewelry: The beauty of gemstones and metals has caused people to use them for decoration for thousands of years. Many times jewelry was used as a way to declare your "social rank". A tomb in Ur dating back to 3000 B.C., the tomb of Queen Pu-abi, is thought to have contained the oldest examples of jewelry made of gold, silver, and semi-precious carnelian, agat and lapis lazuli.

As Talismans: Native Americans held the belief that quartz crystals were the home of supernatural forces that would bring good luck to their hunting expeditions.

In Scrying (diving the future using a crystal ball): This technique pre-dates the Greek and Roman periods and has been used by many civilizations.

What Can You Do With Crystals

 

Energy Medicine is very relevant when it comes to the healing power between mind and body! Energy medicine is based on the belief that the human body is composed of energy fields. When the energy is properly distributed and circulating freely, the body is healthy. Imbalances or abnormal amounts of energy are believed to indicate an excess or deficiency.

Crystals and Gemstones are great energy tools. Many aspects of a stone come into play when we use them for healing! Their mineral properties, color, shape, location from which they come, as well as, their Piezoelectric Effect.

Crystal remedies abound! Developed from many different generations by many different cultures of people, these remedies, yet in multiple concepts and notions, all have a common thread. They use the inate power of the stones to work on many different levels for many types of ailments. These remedies have been handed down through families and tribes, teachers and shaman as are the traditions and recipes of any culture. Below are some of the various types of remedies.

Carry Them With You - Put your crystals in a pouches and carry them with you. This is one of the most interesting and oldest remedies. Usually a prescription of 2 - 4 crystals, these complementary stones are carried or worn on the person or placed in a certain area. This prescription can be used for anything from healing to psychic awareness, healing an emotional wound as in discouragement or sorrow, or bringing about such aspects as love, money, protection, guidance, spiritual attunement, strength or even addiction. Carry the stone in your pocket or pocketbook.

Crystal Concoctions or Elixirs are also the recipes of the past. It is recommended to place clean stones or crystals into clean, clear distilled water and place it in the morning sun through the day and into the night of a full moon for 24 hours. This allows the (male) sun energy and (female) moon energy to reflect through the water and into the crystals therefore charging the water with this vibrational force of light and color.

Crystal Hydrotherapy is the use of water in any form, in the treatment of dis-ease. Hydrotherapy was used by the ancient Greek physicians. Hydrotherapy and crystals have a number of uses. Crystals salts with warm water will relax spasm; therefore, hydrotherapy has been useful in treating such conditions as muscular strains and sprains, muscular fatigue, and backache. If your crystal can tolerate water, then bathing with the crystal energy is a great way to work with your stone.

Crystal Massage uses your stone as a massage tool. Use some essential oil, massage oil or lotion on your stone and massage the areas which feel blocked or stuck. You will find this a great remedy.

Meditate with your crystal, by placing your crystal in your dominant hand or on the floor in front of you. Close your eyes and concentrate on the color of your stone. Slowly try to connect with the crystal's energy. Remember: "Energy follows thought". The imagery of visualization is very powerful! As you breath, you may inhale and exhale through the Chakra points. This will charge the Chakra and surrounding organs with vital energy. You may utilize the vibrational power of sound or music during your session. The stones will enhance a positive, reconnecting flow of energy, which will allow you to bring up, recognize and clear emotional blocks.

Aura cleansing is another way to effect our human energetics. The laying of stones to effect the Aura can be done in order to prevent, heal or cleanse our life force field.

Crystal Gridding is the "laying of the stones" around the body in order to work with the Aura and Auric fields. There are many ways to grid with crystals based on their color and properties.

Crystal Cleansing

There are several different ways to cleanse your crystals. I always say to go with whatever way feels right to YOU! The only exceptions are that there are certain crystals that shouldn't be cleansed in certain ways (for example some disintegrate in water). You will find more information on those situations below. Choose one of the methods below:

1. Place it under the light of a full moon/sun for 24 hours.

2. Bury it in the earth (make sure you mark it!), for 24 hours.

3. Place your crystal to be cleansed in a bowl of tumbled hematite stones or tumbled quartz crystal.

4. Smudge your crystal with sweetgrass, sage, cedar or incense. Pass the crystal several times through the wafting smoke.

5. Run your crystal under room temperature or luke warm water.

6. Place in Sea Salt Water. One teaspoon of Sea Salt in a glass bowl in cool water. Place the crystals in the water. Make sure the crystals are covered with water. Let them bathe in the water for 24 hours. This is a wonderful way to rejuvenate the power of your crystals. It washes away the negative energy it has absorbed and recharges it with the positive healing energy again. (Note: Some crystals should NOT be washed/cleansed in salt water/sun for it changes their physical properties, not their metaphysical properties, they are listed below).

Not to be cleansed in Salt Water:
*Alabaster
*Calcite
*Carnelian
*Hematite
*Labradorite (Spectrolite)
*Lepidolite
*Moldivate
*Opal
*Turquoise
*Ulexite

*Use caution only with the softer Mica and crystaline stones

May fade in Sunlight:
*Amethyst
*Celestite
*Opal
*Turquoise

7. Crystal clusters make great chargers and can cleanse any crystal by placing it on top of the cluster for 24 hours.

8. Soaking your crystal in flower water with the petals of the flowers such as rose, honeysuckle, orange blossoms for 24 hours will cleanse the crystal of all it's negative energy. If a particular crystal should not be placed in water, simply place them in a bowl of flower petals.

Using Crystals to Connect with Your Angels

 

The Archangels are available to help you at any time for any reason; nothing is too trivial. Don't worry that you will be bothering them, as they love to help us; that is their mission. They are also able to be in many places simultaneously, so you won't be "taking away" help for someone else. While all the Archangels can help you with what you request, they have specialties, just as we do here on earth. There is no special chant or words you need to use to call upon an Archangel, just simply ask of them what you wish and they are immediately off to help. Keep in mind that the angels respond to what your true desires are, not what you ask for, so make sure you are in tune with what your needs, wants and desires are, or you may receive an unexpected answer. Also keep in mind that the angels may not answer your prayers and requests as you expect because they are working for your greater good. So if the timeframe for your request is later or in a different manner than expected, don't fret; just know that they have your best interests at heart. Also keep this in mind so you won't overlook an answer to your prayer because it didn't come in the form you expected it to. You can either wear or hold the stone associated to gain a closer connection with the Archangel.

Crystals & Healing

The first known use of crystals for healing dates back to around 1600 B.C. and referenced in an Egyptian papyrus. This reference includes the sick person wearing beads of lapis lazuli, malachite and red jasper so that the diseas coupld pass through them and dissipate. Along with wearing gems, another popular method was to pulverize them, mix them with a liquid and drink them.

Crystal healing is not just a freedom from illness, but also a nurturing of our spiritual lives by helping us tune into our emotions, feelings and thoughts. Everything is made of energy, including us, and we are affected by many different energies that we cannot see. It can affect our mental state as well as our physical body. Crystal therapy has been shown to improve energy, reduce stress, heal health issues and balance our mind, body and spirit for optimal health and well-being.
