Chakra and Crystal Therapy Treatment


EXAMPLE CRYSTAL HEALING CASE STUDY


Before the session, Client rated his stress as 1 ½ out of 4. He wanted to achieve tranquillity and calmness from the session. “I want to feel cleansing of my chakras which will enable the flow of energy throughout my body”.
He was familiar with crystal healing as had received some previous to this treatment and had also attended a crystal healing workshop.
I talked through the steps of the session with him beforehand, so he knew what to expect. I also asked him to remove any metal jewellery and watch and to make sure he was wearing comfortable, loose fitting clothing.
A bed was set up on the floor on the veranda, fitting with the north/south alignment.
I began by asking the crystals permission to use them for healing today and to dedicate the session
to the highest good of the client. I then tuned in with Client by connecting our breathing.
I started the session with a clearing exercise to open and balance the chakras. I used 6 smoky quartz
crystals and placed them at points around his body to form a 6 pointed star, (2 x pointing inwards at
The elbows, 2 x pointing inwards at the knees, 1 pointing upwards between the feet and 1 pointing
upwards from the crown). I used a clear quartz terminator as the generator crystal and began at the
crown of his head, walking slowly in a clockwise direction, connecting all 6 points, to create an auric
seal around the body. I repeated this 5 times, each time feeling the energy getting stronger between
the generator and the other crystals. It felt like a magnetic draw between them and a clear seal
began to form around his body. After 10 minutes, I asked Client how he felt. He replied, “I am
relaxed and I feel levelled out. Around the 3rd or the 4th time you circled me, I could feel something
going around me. I feel safe inside my seal.”
I then began a clearing and strengthening exercise. I placed the following crystals on his chakras in the following order:
Third eye (amethyst), heart (rose quartz), solar plexus (citrine), sacral (carnelian), crown (clear
quartz), base (red jasper), throat (blue lace agate).
I used a clear quartz above the crown, pointing downwards and rose quartz between the feet,
pointing upwards. Making small circles in a clockwise direction with a clear quartz crystal in my
right hand; I moved slowly clockwise around the body three times, connecting the top and bottom
crystals. After 15 minutes, I asked Client his reactions/feelings. “I felt a strong energy drawing out of
my third eye, through the amethyst. I felt a pull from the right side of my head as you passed it, after
that the feeling stayed. It felt overall a stronger effect than the first clearing practice. I feel relaxed and nice. Energy felt like it was being drawn out of the sacral chakra.”
Next, I continued onto the opening and balancing sequence; using 7 small crystals over each chakra
and 6 smoky quartz crystals around the outside of the body, all pointing upwards; one on the crown,
two next to the elbows, two outside of the knees and one between the feet. Using a clear quartz the
terminator as the generator crystal, I slowly circled the outside of the body clockwise 7 times, to link
crystals to form an auric shield. Next I ran the generator crystal from the feet, through the chakras to
the head, and back, 5 times. Holding my hands 4-5 inches above the body, I balanced out the
chakras using the palms of my hands, pushing the energy up and down, until I could feel it equally in
both palms. I am also a reiki II practitioner, so this practice in particular was very strong. I could feel a definite magnetic like pull from the crystals and at time whilst I was circling Client, I felt slightly light headed. To instill energy, I rotated the crystal in a clockwise direction, with the point facing down decreasing the circles until the crystal made light contact with the stone chakra that felt weaker. 

CHAKRA CLEANSING


To clear energy from some chakras, I circled the crystal, with the point facing toward me, away from the chakra, increasing the circles as I withdrew. I also used my hands above the chakras to clear them;
with my receiving hand over a chakra and my sending hand out to the side(holding the crystal pointed
downwards), to dispel blockages/negative energy.  Client commented on his impressions of this
treatment, “I felt a huge draw of energy when you were balancing the chakras. Circling the crystal
seemed to increase its intensity. I felt more and more like I was slipping into total relaxation. When
you put the crystal on the crown chakra, it was really powerful, it was clearing out some stuff. I feel really balanced now.”
During the building treatment, Andy commented, “When you were working on my sacral chakra, the stone felt like a really heavy weight, in a good way. I felt your presence there when you were working on it. When you were circling around me, I didn’t feel like it was focusing on any one point, but I could feel the overall effect of a feeling of security. During this part of the session, I felt more awake, compared with the clearing treatments”.
Finally I arranged the crystals into the ‘expanding consciousness’ formation; crystals pointing outwards either side of the neck and ears, either side of the ankles and feet and one pointing upwards between the feet. I used a clear quartz double terminator above the crown chakra. I made 7 slow figure of 8 movements clockwise to link all of the crystals. At the end of the session, I visualized closing down Andy’s chakras and thanked the crystals for all the healing they had provided.



FEEDBACK
After 15 minutes, I gently brought Client back into the world. He made the following observations, “I felt minty and zingy around my ankles. I feel really good, like I’ve been refreshed. I am relaxed but not in a tired way at all. I could feel the figure of 8 movements over me, it was nice. I’ve had indigestion most of the day and it’s gone now.”
Points for evaluation: It would beneficial to have a treatment bed so it is easier for the therapist to hover hands over the client, keeping the distance closer.
I was really surprised by how connecting the outside crystals, really added to the client’s feeling of safety and security. I enjoyed practicing the different arrangements and believe the treatment was really powerful.

Currently we are living in Honduras and are about to relocate. I am planning on expanding my crystal collection and purchasing a massage bed. I hope to be able to offer crystal treatments to more people in the future and in the meantime I will certainly continue practising what I have learnt on family and friends.

Treating a client with Crystals

Crystal Therapy Treatment 

(case study)



Client is young man who has recently moved house and in with his girlfriend, he works 12 hour shifts and finds his job stressful. Client has no previous medical history, recently he has began to experience headaches and feeling more stressed. Client is known to me through a work colleague and when talking about the course I was doing, my work colleague said her boyfriend would like to try crystal healing but since he did not know any one who done it was reluctant to participate, I informed her that I would be happy to help when doing my course, as I would need someone to practice on.
I prepared the room by making sure no electrical equipment was in it, I lit two white candles which were not fragrant. I put a relaxation cd on kept it low so as to promote a relaxing environment, I put a white loose fitting top on to make my movements easier and to attract positive energy. I asked Client to remove any jewellery he may have on and make himself comfortable on the treatment couch. Client appeared tense and heavy leaden when he came into the room.

I went through a treatment card with Client when asked to rate his stress level 1 being low and 4 being high, he said he was a 4. I asked what he wanted from his treatment and he said to feel relaxed. Client has no allergies and does not like the smell of lavender or anything strong smelling, this is why I chose not to have fragrant candles.

Before starting the session I decided to strengthen my aura, to do this I had a flower and crystal. I held the crystal in my left hand and flower in my right. Through my crown chakra I imagined white light and rooted myself to Mother Earth by imagining roots anchoring you through my feet, I also used the same technique on the client and  asked the client to ground himself by imagining himself also being grounded by roots anchoring him to Mother Earth.



I began the session by opening and balancing the chakras, the client lay with his head north and feet South this helps to align with earth. I held my hands above the clients head and asked that they be given healing for the highest good. I also asked Client to make sure he was comfortable as he would be lying in that position for about a hour. And that if he was not comfortable to change his position.
I decided to start with a clearing treatment, for this treatment I used a large clear Quartz. I assessed the clients chakras by dowsing a pendulum. I programmed the pendulum to go clockwise when a chakra is open and balanced and to go anticlockwise if it's closed. I found that his crown chakra was closed, third eye open, throat chakra was open, heart was closed, solar plexus was open and base chakra was partially opened.

The client chose his own crystals for the installing and balancing part of the session. For the crown he choose Lapis lazuli, third eye he chose clear Quartz , throat chakra he chose pink tourmaline, heart he chose rose Quartz, solar plexus he chose jade and for the base he chose garnet. I placed all the crystals in the corresponding chakras. I placed a large Quartz crystal a few inches above the clients crown chakra facing away from his head to help clear negative energy. With a clear Quartz crystal in my left hand I made small circles starting from the top I passed this down the clients left side and up her right side. I did this exercise three times. I left the client for 30 minutes with the chakra layout. With a clear Quartz I went to each chakra and used positive energy, I repeated this three times. I returned to using my pendulum and used it over his chakras to reassess all chakras appeared to be opened and balanced. I began to remove the crystals from the client. I closed the clients chakras, to seal his energy fields I visualised a golden light , in a clockwise direction I used my hands I went round the client until I  came over to his crown chakra and visualised the energy grounding him which I had used at the start. I gave him a few minutes to relax and asked him to wake up in his own time.

A few minutes later I gave him a drink of water, I asked him how he felt he replied that he felt lighter and felt a bit more relaxed. I asked what he experienced during the session if anything at all, he replied he felt a pleasant sensation when the crystals were placed on the chakras. He said he felt that he would benefit from more sessions.

I instructed Client after the session to relax, and to avoid caffeine also that he may experience  emotional and mood changes. Also headache, dizziness and possible thirst.  I explained that this is part of the healing process. I asked Client to phone me if he had any other side effects or if he required any further information about crystal healing.


Client has had a further treatment and has bought the crystals we used for the healing process. The crystals bought were for the crown lapis lazuli which helps with nervous headache, and I still co-operation. For the third eye he chose clear quart which helps with energy blockages this helps give the body equilibrium. For throat chakra he chose pink tourmaline which help to let go of attachments so that life can be balanced again. The Heart chakra he chose rose Quartz which will help to enhance love and lowers stress. The client chose for his solar plexus jade, which is calming and quieting properties. Finally for the base chakra he chose garnet which helps to build up life force energy giving you courage and purpose in life.
