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.

Crystal Magic Case Study

Crystal Magic - A Case Study

 Taken from student studying crystal therapy with Luna Holistics

Miss X is a friend who is also a crystal healer. Before the treatment happened and my friend arrived for her treatment, I set up my therapy room in the house, ensuring there was no electrical equipment in the room. I meditated for a while to attune myself to the energies of the crystals I was going to involve in the healing. These crystals had been cleansed and programmed overnight and earlier in the morning so they were clear and programmed for healing purposes. I had already found out where North and South were in the room so the therapy couch was set up so my friend’s head would be facing North and her feet South. I had asked my friend to come dressed in loose comfortable clothing and to ensure she had no metal objects on her. I suggested she have a bath or shower before treatment which she confirmed she had done when she arrived.

We started by going through the treatment card and established that Miss X is currently in good health but wanted just a recharge of energies and general well-being treatment. I decided to use the pyramid grid for this treatment. I felt that I intuitively wanted to set it in place before Miss X climbed on the therapy couch. Miss X is also very intuitive and we felt it was right for her to sit and meditate on her intention, harmony and well being, while I set up the grid with this intention. I laid out the five main crystals in each corner and one under the table in the centre. Miss X loves greens and pinks and I was intuitively drawn to space out rose quartz and green aventurine between the corner points. At the present, Miss X is in a long term relationship and is really enjoying her career change in care work which she has been doing for some time so this grid seemed appropriate for long term harmony and her relationships which are really important to her. I used sand from our local beach to connect the crystals as this is a place we go to regularly to walk our dogs and it is somewhere we gain a lot of feelings of peace and harmony from.

Once this was done, Miss X climbed on the couch and made herself comfortable. I started by placing my hands above her head and tuning into her energies and connecting with the intention of harmony and well being. I then used my activation crystal and started with the centre crystal, visualizing white universal light flowing into this while asking that Miss X receive the healing she needed for her highest good during the session. I then moved to each corner crystal in turn, using the activation crystal to link each one in turn in a clockwise direction. I visualized this connecting up of energy and kept the intention of the healing in my mind as I went. Once all the stones were connected I went back to the centre crystal and visualized the whole picture of energy forming a complete grid and I meditated on this for 15 minutes while Miss X relaxed on the couch above. The energy I felt was just amazing and it was a totally peaceful and harmonic space.

At the end of the 15 minutes I carefully thanked and de-activated each crystal in turn in an anti-clockwise direction as this felt right. I then walked three times clockwise around Miss X using a quartz crystal wand and visualized sealing in all the healing energy she had received. At the end of this I gave thanks to all the crystals and the Universe for the energies provided. I then asked Miss X to bring her attention back into the room.

Miss X said that she didn't realize she was carrying some tension and stress but she was aware of this and felt the muscles of her neck and shoulders releasing and letting go. She also felt her legs relaxing and the pain in her hips that she gets occasionally totally disappeared. She said that she felt lighter physically, mentally and emotionally. She was aware of angels and guides in the room all the time. She also said she felt like a big fluffy pink blanket was being placed around her and protecting her – pink is Miss X’s favourite colour. Miss X said she could feel so much love flowing in and out of her heart and that she was aware that some blockages and tensions emotionally were just being soothed and released.

Aftercare

I offered Miss X a glass of water and she stayed on the couch until ready to move off. She said it was just such a relaxing session and great to release daily stress and tension you don’t normally notice. She also said she was overwhelmed by feelings of protection and safety.

Once Miss X left I gather all the crystals and felt drawn to smudge them, then use my Tibetan singing bowls to cleanse them and I felt guided to placing them in flower pots outside overnight to cleanse and recharge in the moon energy.

Amber (Anbar - derived from Arabic)  is not actually a stone or a crystal but rather a fossilised resin which comes from the coniferous trees. And although not a crystal this has been used for hundreds of years as a precious gem and its healing properties. As this stone is light enough to float on water it has been found in may places all over the world. The main source of amber comes from South America and Baltic coasts of Europe. Did you know that most amber that exists today is aprox between 30 and 90 million years old.

Amber was and still is worn as a talisman to attract good luck and for protection. If you are wondering what to buy for a 10th wedding anniversary then amber would be a good choice.

Minerals and Crystals

THE MAGIC OF CRYSTALS

 All minerals growing within the earth have powerful energies, containing the stored natural elemental powers of their formation over millions of years, shaped by volcanic heat and waters soaking deep into the ground.

Some like black obsidian are not crystals at all but natural glass created by sudden cooling of flowing volcanic lava. Grey and fawn fulgurite is formed immediately when lightning strikes sand.

ORGANIC CRYSTALS

Others are organic, such as pearls, or made of fossils or, like golden amber, from fossilized tree resin, often containing plant or insect material.  Green olivine sometimes has extraterrestrial origins when found in stony iron meteorites.

Ancient peoples believed that crystals fell from the heaven as gifts from their ancestors. This notion is not so far from the truth. All the particles that make up matter once originated within the hearts of old stars. When these stars exploded, their particles were scattered throughout the universe and re-formed as new stars and planets. 

The idea that every stone has special magical healing properties for crystal healing can be traced back through the European literature of the early Middle Ages right back to their sources in Greek Roman and Arabic philosophy, which in turn owe much to the Ayurvedic traditions of India.

For many centuries, because the origin of disease was unknown, healing and in particular crystal healing as part of a healer’s toolkit was linked with magic and superstition. Crystals have always been considered special, extraordinary, and even supernatural.

The people who carried, wore or used crystals believed that the crystals would imbue them with some of the power belonging to these spiritual realms, which of course is viewed as a form of ethereal healing. In Egypt the Pharaoh and his priesthood, who prized turquoise as a symbol of fertility, life and joy, practiced ethereal healing.

HOW OLD ARE CRYSTALS

The oldest crystal that has been discovered, so far, has been dated to 4.4 billion years old.  The age of this crystal has challenged all thought about how old the planet earth really was when it’s cooling formed the Earth’s crust and life began. This crystal was mined in northwestern Australia and is one of several tiny silicon specimens extracted from these mines.

CUTTING CRYSTALS

How a crystal or gem is cut can bring out its true nature. The lustrous cat’s eye formation you find in gems such as yellow chrysoberyl or green alexandrite needs to be expertly cut into a dome shaped cabochon to display its effect to full advantage. The same applies to gems that have a six or twelve-rayed start, such as ruby, sapphire or flash opal with its constantly flickering rainbow of colour.

Jewellery has been one of the most popular ways of showing off gems and crystals, and benefit from their magical empowering and healing properties directly through contact with the body, namely the skin. 

Traditionally, earrings have been thought to protect the mind from psychological harm; necklaces and pendants have been thought to protect the heart from emotional manipulation and attract love; bracelets or armbands reach out to attract abundance and opportunities to us.  

Belt buckles protect and empower the solar plexus and sacral energy centres of the body that control will-power, self confidence, needs and desires.

A ring on any finger of the hand denotes lasting love, friendship and health continuing in an eternal cycle. The use of jewellery, amulets and talismans will be covered in more detail in part two of this course.

Anniversary and birthstones are ways of using polished and faceted crystals and gems as tokens of profound devotion and affection or, if bought for yourself a symbol of self-worth, and invariably attracting luck. 

Tumblestones are a relatively inexpensive way to collect a variety of stones and they can be used as worry stones, put on show around the home or cast in divination.

Geodes of yellow citrine or purple amethyst with lots of tiny, sparkling crystals crammed inside are natural decoration, as are large pieces of dendritic limestone, which are viewed by some as the abstract paintings of nature. Different stones, such as soapstone and green verdite, are often used to make carvings of animals and statues.  These act as power symbols of the qualities we want to attract, for example, the focus of a hunting eagle or the courage of a lion.
