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.

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.

Crystals for Weight Problems

Weight Issues and Crystals

We are all aware that being overweight brings increased risks of developing diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and no amount of other ailments. Weight gain can also occur as we get older, especially around the time of menopause. Although a little weight gain at this time is acceptable it is important to keep your hormone levels in balance. 

How to lose weight


We know the theory - Eat less calories than we use and hey presto we lose weight, however we know this is not always as easy as it sound. However being too thin also has its problems and are more prone to osteoporosis and have less resistance to influenza, pneumonia and other illnesses. 

Gem Essence

Iolite aids in lessening fatty deposits in the body and helps to release toxins. Metaphysically, fatty deposits are linked to stored negative emotions and toxins are said to be linked to old belief  systems. Iolite will allow you to see your true potential, and can also help to alleviate addictions. It can help us to understand our addiction and why we have developed a craving for a certain type of food for instance.

Addictions and Crystals

ADDICTIONS


Violet Crystals
Addictions take many forms and can be major or minor addictions.  Small scale addictions can be signs of obsessive behavior, and we may experience withdraw symptoms if we fail to get our personal choice of our so called "fix", be it overeating or drinking too much coffee.  Many addictions are caused by thought forms and these can be self-generated, inherited or even picked up from others.

Violet Crystals

These crystals can have some remarkable effects. They do this by bringing balance and healing in any situation as they facilitate integration at an energetic level. By removing blockages, obstacles and additions they can also offer inspiration and help to fire up the imagination which in turn allows insights into extremist viewpoints that can quite often leave you vulnerable to obsessive behavior traits. You can make a gem essence using these stones or simply ensure that you wear or carry a stone of this colour. 

  • Did you know that Amethyst was traditionally worn to prevent drunkenness as it is known to support sobriety. It can help to prevent over indulgence and overcome addictions and compulsions that can then in turn become obsessions.
  • It can help to detach negative energies. Amethyst loosens thought forms that cause addictions by transmuting them into positive energy.  
  • Fluorite shares may of the same qualities as Amethyst and is especially helpful in dissolving fixed behavior patterns. 
Using Gem Essences

You can make a gem essence with the above stones. Normally a gem essence is taken 3 times a day. You can also add gem essence to your bath water or massage oil. 

You can learn how to make gem essence with our Crystal Therapy Diploma Course.

Crystals & Emotions

Crystals and Emotions

Our emotions are linked to the element of water. Bearing in mind that most of our body weight is made up of water and that it carries the essential nutrients for life then water has a special significance.  In this article we will learn that crystals have the ability to transform stagnant energy that can have a direct effect on our emotions.


Balancing Emotions


One of the most difficult parts of learning to balance your emotions is to actually understand and identify how you are actually feeling at any given time. Just like water, emotions change constantly, ebbing and flowing, and offering us movement that assists us to explore our full potential as humans.
Sometimes however our emotions can become frozen or stuck and they can then become destructive or harmful and can block our creativeness and happiness. When water is boiled it turns to steam and evaporates; this too can be reflected in the emotions of anger and loss. With this in mind it would be helpful if our emotions were more like a stream of fresh flowing water constantly moving forwards. If a stream becomes blocked it becomes stagnant and muddy, just as our emotions become clogged and cloudy when blocked.

How Can Crystals Help?

Crystals have the ability to transform stagnant energy by getting below the surface and to the exact root of the problem. Emotional wounds can lock up our energy so that we can live our life to the full. Crystal can help to heal these wounds and help to restore our equilibrium and free our energy. Crystal healing uses some very effective techniques to release trauma without the need to re-live the traumatic event. They can help the emotional body reintegrate the energy involved which is an important part of healing.

Watery Crystals
Opals/Moonstone/Aquamarine

Moonstone  - and Selenite have a natural affinity to the element of water. These stones help to stabilize the emotions our emotions at the same time as balancing our body fluids.
Aquamarine – this stone relates to the watery element of the emotions, especially when a build-up of  painful experiences has perhaps caused us to take on phobias of any kind. When the thymus gland becomes stressed due to emotional debilitation, it needs the energy boost that this stone will provide.
Opal – loves water. This stone is an emotional mirror that can help to stabilize mood swings

Programming your Crystals

Encoding/Programming Your Stones

The purpose of programming your crystals is to focus its abilities on something you specifically need, thereby magnifying the crystals intent through your own. It then becomes a much more useful and powerful tool. Hold the crystal in your hand and sense its energy. Do this after it has been cleansed. As you sense the energy, appreciate it, ask quietly to be connected to it, even though they are not animate, they are still living things.
You can now place your hands lightly on your crystals and say a few words of dedication, such as, ‘I dedicate these crystals to the angelic realms, and I deepen my connection and heighten my receptivity to angelic guidance.  Once you have sensed what you can from the energy then think of what you will be using that particular crystal for. Ask if the gemstone is willing to act in the way you wish. The crystals energy may increase with a yes or seem to fade with a no. Once you have been given the all clear so to speak, your crystal has now been energised and will be very powerful.
All crystals can help us gain insight into the angelic domain, but some angels and archangels do have a certain affinity for particular crystals. Use your own intuition when choosing which crystals to use, but in the next lesson I will give you some ideas of which stones augur well with which Archangels.

Crystals and Gems

 Crystal Jewelry ... The Power To Heal? by Sam Serio
crystal bracelet
learn about healing with crystals
References to the power of crystals and gems and their use in spiritual and healing rituals can be found in the ancient Mayan and Hebrew civilizations. Today the practice of using stones and crystals continues with ordinary people across the world who claim extraordinary results.
By stimulating a person's thought, it is believed that crystals stimulate healing - both physical and non-physical. Stones in the red family -- red, yellow and orange -- are prized for their ability to produce energy. On the other end of the spectrum, blue, violet, and lavender stones have a calming effect. In between are the clear and aquamarine stones that having healing properties.
Many people use and combine crystals to improve a variety of physical, mental, and spiritual conditions based on the healing properties attributed to each stone: (crystal therapy)
crystal in hand· Amethyst - This "spiritually uplifting" stone can reduce anger, and impatience.
· Aquamarine - This beautiful stone protects your heart and your immune system and aids communications on all levels…especially on the physical and spiritual planes
· Carnelian - The perfect stone for targeting your body's system, carnelian is a "stimulant" for your circulatory system, kidneys, appetite, emotions, and sexuality. It bestows confidence, assertiveness, and an unstoppable drive to succeed.
· Citrine - Citrine can help with acid indigestion, food disorders, and allergies with cleansing powers aimed at your spleen, kidneys, liver, urinary system, and intestines. Mentally, citrine is valuable for emotional clarity, willpower, optimism, and self-discipline.

Crystals Energy Healing Ground Breaking Research

Crystals Energy Healing Ground Breaking Research by Crystalharmony
Nat Bondar was born in Ukraine while it was part of the Soviet empire, she developed acute, natural clairvoyance at the age of nine years old and "fine tuned" it throughout her adolescence. After the Chernobyl disaster, she used her vision to see whether food was safe to eat or not as many fruit and vegetables would have a "black cloud" of radiation around them. She would also see the energetic residues of herbicides and pesticide chemicals on food and learnt to discriminate what she and her family should eat or drink. She moved to the UK in 2001.
In July 2002, Nat & I began a pioneering research project into the energetic healing qualities of crystals and stones. We wanted answers to some as yet unanswered questions; 'why do crystals have therapeutic qualities', 'what gives them these qualities' and 'exactly how do they work'?
The first realization about the therapeutic qualities of crystals and stones is that their qualities are not because of their physical form in any way; it is about their subtle mineral energies – that is where their healing and spiritual influences lie. Where they have an energetic quality – it comes from an energetic level not a physical one. So if the subject is to be researched at all, it has to be studied from an energetic viewpoint. That's where Nat had an advantage. She could easily switch her vision to see their energies and that was where the research began.
Initially, looking at various crystals and stones, she had tremendous confusion about what she was seeing. Some crystals had all different colours and rays, channels, waves and spirals of energy coming from them – while others seemed almost still, inert and had barely any movement of energy at all. Selenite crystals would have long "beams" of white energy flowing from either end, Topaz crystals appeared to have a "fountain" of energy coming from their points. Turquoise had an energy structure that resembled a sphere or ball shape surrounding the stone, with one hemisphere as light blue and the other half as light green. Ametrine pieces were even more bizarre, with several different energy spheres surrounding them of different colours. It really was extraordinary and at first it didn't appear to make any sense at all. She drew and later painted the energies of over 50 different crystals and stones; these images were eventually published in her 'Crystal Energy Cards' set.  Although the images appeared to show various channels and feathery waves of energy coming from the minerals; this didn't actually reflect what was going on all the time. Some stones would have one colour of energy then change to another – and some would have different channels on different levels of reality – so there would be blue and green energies – but each was independent of the other in terms of what particular subtle level she was viewing. To make them as accurate as possible; she took three years to finally complete the most general images of what the actual energies of crystals actually look like over time.
Nat realised that the way man treats minerals seemed to play a major part in answering some of the mysteries. When some minerals and crystals were polished into "tumble stones," many in this new, aesthetically attractive condition seemed to have dramatically less energy than those same minerals that were unpolished. As there seemed to be problems and contradictions with some of the polished stones, we deliberately only used the natural, rough stones and crystals from this point onwards.

An interesting observation was found with crystal and mineral candle-holders; these are quite common in holistic centres and crystal shops, particularly those cut from rose quartz or amethyst. When they have their candles lit, after some twenty seconds Nat would see a sudden "mini-energetic explosion" and the subtle mineral energy of the stone would increase its field by about 300%. This larger quantity of energy existed as long as the candle would burn, and as soon as it went out, the energy field would diminish back to its normal size. A similar situation happened with a crystal being put into a pot of earth; its energy field would grow dramatically. When we placed a crystal into a glass of water, we found the same thing happened and when the crystal was taken out of the water and dried on a cloth, its energy would shrink back down to its "normal" level. Now here we had Fire, Earth and Water; but what of Air? Surely the crystals are always in, 'Air,' so why do they change when put into another condition?
The more she examined their energy, the more she began to appreciate how extremely intricate the subtle energy channels were, both inside and outside the minerals. By changing the level of her vision, she could begin to study the different energetic structures that all minerals possess. She defined that they actually have four different ones, on four different, corresponding levels of reality. Just as we possess several subtle vehicles in our multidimensional reality; so do all minerals of the Earth. To be able to continue her research, because there were no "names" for these structures, she had to give them names.
The most primitive and primeval of all was one she called the "Quad" structure because it has four "petals" and looks like a propeller shape, it exists on a level of reality where there are only the four elemental energies of Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Each "petal" of the Quad structure allows one type of these elemental energies inside it and as the four energies enter, they are transformed to another level at the centre of the structure.
Now the subject really becomes profound because we defined that all minerals are actually "alive." Let me explain; if you look at other people and at animals, you can see they are "alive." If you then look at plants and trees, you can understand that they are "alive" too, but there is so little movement that it is simply more of an acknowledgement of life rather than a perception of it. Now when you look at a stone… you generally cannot perceive there being any "life" there at all and this is because they are so primeval and primitive in evolution. However, when someone with highly developed clairvoyance looks at a stone, there is instantly a different story to tell. All minerals are "alive" – but their form of life is very limited. They have what we call a Monad, or a 'tiny, spark of life which solely exists for one function; to react to different types of subtle environmental energies in a certain way. Every time the Monad reacts to these energies "outside itself" it grows very, very slightly. It does not think, does not feel, is not self aware or intelligent in any way – it simply exists and reacts to specific types of energies around it and that is all. It absorbs these energies in very small quantities and then emits them outside itself. Its structure is that of a sphere, like a ball of energetic life in the centre of every crystal and stone.
The elemental energies are passed from the Quad structure to the "Monadic Sphere." where they become in contact with these other surrounding subtle energies of that level. The Monad makes changes to these and then emits them as one form of a new energy. Nat called this mineral energy. This mineral energy is different with every different type of mineral. Therefore you get rose quartz energy," "Amethyst energy," "Calcite energy" and these are all different types of the same "mineral energy."
So, the reason the candle-holders would have a dramatic increase in their mineral energy field was because the Monad of the mineral had to maintain harmony and balance. Where suddenly there was an unequal proportion of "Fire energy" entering its system, it reacted the only way it could. It increased the quantity of the other three elemental energies to balance the situation. With this increase of the balanced elemental energies it also increased the absorption of the other surrounding subtle energies and the end result is more mineral energy produced. This is why these crystal or mineral candle-holders are very useful healing tools. We can even add several candles around them to increase the field of energy to a maximum saturation level.
By placing a crystal into earth, or into a glass of water, its mineral energy field is by result much larger due to the same reason. We are however, still left with the mystery of "Air" aren't we? Well the secret there is not air but wind… If you blow on a crystal, its energy grows; so the fact that it is always present in our environment in "still air" means it doesn't react, but put it into an area of moving air and its field will grow accordingly. Therefore it might be more accurate to call the elemental energy of air, "wind."
We can now return to the issue of why some crystals have less mineral energy when they are changed to a polished condition. All minerals have 'intake channels' for bringing the surrounding energies inside their structures and exit channels that allow them to give these out afterwards as mineral energy. Yet we found that some minerals such as agate and Aventurine, have either their intake or exit channels so damaged or destroyed from the accelerated attrition process that the Monad cannot deal with the quantity of energies inside its sphere. It either has too much or too little and as a result it suffers a chaotic condition and can no longer function correctly.
The therapeutic qualities of crystals and minerals are a very large subject. There are perhaps some 10,000 different identified minerals on and in our Earth, probably many more as yet undiscovered. Each and every one will have fixed certain qualities. However, where two or more mineral types are combined as one (such as Azurite and Malachite, commonly found together) then their qualities change to become yet different again. That is why it is perhaps an impossible task to list the qualities of all minerals because you could never cover every single different example. Nat took an easier number – she just chose fifty and studied these in depth. Only observing the energies of the natural stones, over five years, she has spent a long time with each of them, learning everything she can. She spent ages carefully drawing, then painting their energies to produce their images.
The original task that she set out to do was to define why they have healing qualities and how these actually affect the mind or body. This is a mammoth task, not because it is essentially complex, but because it needs so much groundwork covered before people can possibly grasp the concept of the answer. So let's start laying down a foundation…
If a crystal has an energetic quality that can help the health or well being of a person then it must have an explanation of the process. If there's no explanation – we have to consider the 'supposed quality' as suspect. So the answer must lie on the subtle reality of the human system. Generally speaking, most people reading this will already be familiar with the fact that illness and disease does not start with the physical body. The exception might be where we might have an accident, 'cut ourselves' and thus have a wound… However, even there; there is a reason for the event and there is a cause for why we happened to be in the right place at the right time for the event to take place. We might have all manner of emotions and thoughts as a result of the event… By illness and disease I am really referring to matters internal of the body; things like pain, organ dysfunction, blood pressure, arthritis, rheumatism, nausea, infertility, lack of vitality, lack of concentration etc. All of these matters begin on the subtle side of our being and manifest out into the physical body. When we have problems like these; it is like we are trying to tell ourselves 'something isn't right within' and the body acts like a big signpost for our consciousness to pay attention to it. Unfortunately, the greater majority of us can't read the signs and we just keep on driving. So more often than not, the signs get bigger until we do notice them. Well, that's all very well as a philosophy, but where is the explanation of the issue?
Imagine, you can look at the energetic system of a person. The first thing you might see is the major chakra system. These funnel-shaped, colourful energy vortices have energy channels that travel from them to all the organs and systems of the body. From the skeletal system to the blood circulation system to the lungs to the pancreas, the bladder, the muscles, the tendons of the limbs; everything is connected by these channels of energy. Now imagine you can look inside these channels and that you find they are actually composed of sub-channels and that these actually fine tune things as they deal with the various functions of the organs and other systems. So in the stomach for example, there are sub-channels that travel to organise things to do with the production of stomach acids and others that deal with the creation and maintenance of the stomach walls.
Inside these sub-channels are micro-channels, and further still, inside them there are energy threads and even deeper, there are micro-threads of single types of human subtle energies. The latter sustain and maintain the vitality of every single cell at any moment, in the body.
However, these particular single, human subtle energies also carry a program or command – to tell the cell what to do. When we are in good health, this program is correct and functions perfect normally . However, it can become distorted or misaligned and therefore it can begin to tell the cell different things to do instead of its normal instructions. When this happens, it is not long afterwards before "we" begin to feel the effects and illness soon can follow.
All crystals and minerals have their own unique variety of subtle mineral energy. Each type of mineral energy is distinct from another type because it has a different strength and frequency of vibration and it is this difference that separates them all. However they all have one thing in common; they all carry a special "coding" or agent that acts to constantly maintain harmony. It is called the Element of Harmony (all of our data that we had documented throughout the research was published in the thesis book 'The Element of Harmony'). Every single crystal or gemstone therefore has a unique type of mineral energy but they all contain this special harmonizing agent.
Where a crystal has a therapeutic quality for a part or system of the body; it is because its mineral energy has a very close relationship with one or other of the human subtle energies of that organ or system. This is because the two energies have very similar strengths of vibration in their design. When the two are brought into contact with each other, the Element of Harmony slowly begins to react to the miscoded human energy and begins to balance it again. That is the simple secret of why crystals have healing qualities."
