ALL ABOUT CRYSTALS & HEALING

From as far back as the days of the legendary lost city of Atlantis,

through the ancient Mayan and Hebrew civilizations, and including Far

Eastern and Native American cultures, crystals and gemstones have

been used both in spiritual rituals and as aids to physical healing.

Today the practice of using stones and crystals continues. Not only

with the aboriginal shamans of Australia who use stones to commune

with spirits, but with ordinary people across the world who claim

extraordinary results.

How do crystals work? No one seems to know for sure. Tales tell that

they were first used in Atlantis. Crystals became important to the

people of that civilization who believed in their capacity to store

and amplify any power source fed into them - physical, mental,

emotional, or spiritual. Practitioners of modern-day crystal therapy

believe that the stones' ability to work as conductors allow them to

focus energy via a person's thoughts to stimulate healing - both

physical and non-physical.

However, in addition to medical controversy as to their efficacy, the

use of crystals for healing is not an exact science. There is plenty

of information available to describe which crystals and gemstones are

good for treating certain ailments or for the prevention of certain

conditions. The problem is that much of it appears contradictory.

Still, thousands of people world-wide swear by the use of crystals

for a variety of mental, emotional, and physical problems. There are

numerous claims that they aid such in diverse areas as harmonious

relationships, allergies, and spiritual awakening.

Crystals are used in meditation and spiritual ceremonies, laid on the

body during types of massage or bodywork, when a person is resting,

or placed in drinking or bathing waters. It is claimed that an odd

number of facets on the stone aid in healing, while an even number of

facets create the best energizers. Red, yellow, and orange stones are

said to produce energy, clear and aquamarine stones are healers, and

lavender and blue-violet stones create calming effects.

It is suggested that you should never let anyone touch your crystals.

Each crystal should be cleansed before use to clear any stored energy

by either soaking it or burying it in the ground.

• Soaking: Have everything at room temperature. Soak the crystal in

one cup sea salt dissolved in one quart of purified or spring water

in a glass bowl. Meditate and ask that the crystal be cleared. Soak

from 15 minutes to one full day depending upon how many people have

touched the stone. Rinse under cool water and dry with cotton or

silk.

• Burying: Wrap the crystal in cotton, silk, or linen and bury it in

a place you feel comfortable. Leave at least 24 hours.
