Crystals and Healing
A-Z

The crystal world represents one of the most amazing healing modalities that we have at our fingertips. Through crystals we can activate the natural healing abilities that reside within each of us. Crystal healing involves the properties of color and light - the healer is in essence infusing the aura of the person being healed with reflected light from the stones. The healing invoked occurs on many levels - and in all of our bodies (mental, physical, emotional and spiritual) - it is a total healing.

There are many ways in which crystals can be used to invoke healing. They can be focused on specific areas, such as the third eye, to open and unblock the chakra to facilitate an altered state of learning. Amethyst, Azurite and Luvulite are often used for this purpose.

Healing of the inner child is another important point of focus. We empower ourselves to let go of our fears when we understand their basis - where they came form in out past. Rose quartz (often called the healing crystal) and Green Aventurine (also a quartz, and used for healing in the mental, emotional and physical realms) used in combination facilitate healing deep within the heart.

Meditation and channeling are other important areas that can be facilitated with the use of crystals. In both cases a deep, clear connection with the higher self is made, making available the inner clarity needed to access Universal knowledge (on the level of the Akashic records).

Crystals are also keepers of knowledge. They can be cleared, charged and infused for specific purposes - for protection, for healing, for meditation.

As light workers, as stewards of the planet earth, we have a responsibility to show respect for, to honor and to put to best use the tools that we have at hand, the tools that Great Spirit has gifted us with.

My hope is that you will choose to walk this path with me and share in the whispers of the crystal world.
The links below will take you to hear their whispers and share their wisdom.
