Working With Crystals: Laying of Stones

Crystals have both piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties. This

means that the polarities of the crystal will change when subjected

to pressure or heat (even body heat from the hands). This will

radiate energy from the crystal due to this reversal of polarities.

It provides the transfer, storage and transformation of energy.

Offering a balanced energy field, energy modification, amplifies both

energy and thought, clarity in thinking, and harmony and alignment

with the Chakra energy centers.

The Laying of Stones is done to align the etheric energy field and

provide cleansing, clearing and balancing. This also is one of the

best ways in cleansing the auric field.

The stones are aligned with the Chakra and the color of the stone has

a direct connection to these energy centers. Some suggestions have

been provided:

The Root Chakra, 1st chakra: red/black: hematite, lodestone, ruby,

garnet, smoky quartz, obsidian, onyx.

The Spleen Chakra, 2nd chakra: orange: carnelian, coral

The Solar Plexus Chakra, 3rd chakra: yellow: amber, topaz, citrine

The Heart Chakra, 4th chakra: green: emerald, tourmaline, aventurine,

malachite

The Throat Chakra, 5th chakra: blue: turquoise, aquamarine, lapis,

sodalite, quartz, hawk's eye

The Brow Chakra, 6th chakra: purple: lapis, amethyst, iolite

The Crown Chakra, 7th chakra: clear: quartz, diamond, tiger's eye

*Massage and Bodywork integrating stones and crystals into massage

and bodywork is another fantastic way to utilize the powers of

nature's gifts. Massage with particular stones and crystals can lend

their benefits to the receiver.

-Massage wands are a great tool. Polished to smooth perfection, a

massage therapist can manipulate the masage wand into the clients

muscles and work on several different levels.

-A Crystal Massage utilizes Quartz points and a massage wand into an

even more deep esoteric level allowing not only the physical body

enjoyment and total relaxation but the stones will enhance a

positive, reconnecting flow of energy which will allow you to bring

up, recognize and clear emotional blocks.

-Hotstone Massage Therapy came from the healers using rocks from the

river beds and warming them either in hot coals or hot water. By

placing the hot stones on a towel on the body and arranging them

along the energy points of the body a healing process would occur.

The hot stones have a tendency to relax the muscles and " draw out "

muscle pain and discomfort. The hot stones seem to connect the flow

or paths of energy together in order to rebalance the physical body,

emotional mind and soaring spirit as one. As the stones cool the

healer replace them with hot stones again. At the end, the healer

would massage the body with the stones and scented oil.

-Crystals in massage oil also have a very healing and therapeutic

effect for both the massage therapist and client. Utilize the

healing properties of such crystals as amethsyt, quartz, fluorite,

turquoise.

*Crystal Meditation. The techniques of allowing crystals to help in

meditation involve holding a selected crystal in your hand or hands

or placing the stone on the floor or table near you and your mat and

allow yourself to focus on the mineral as you meditate.

In a meditative or yoga group circle, you may place the crystal in

the center of the group. Make sure that the intention of the entire

group is that of the same intent.

Crystals can allow one to reach higher spiritual levels during

meditation. The crystal magnifies one's personal energy by aligning

and connecting with universal power.

*Crystal Gridding. Crystals are layed on or around the body in a grid

or web to encircle and enhance the power of our own energies.
