Crystal Colours

Colour & Emotional Healing

 

Your spontaneous response to colour is a great way of intuitively choosing a crystal to balance your emotions, as different colours have different healing properties. You will be surprised how often the choice of coloured crystal you choose will very often identify your underlying feelings. 

CLEAR CRYSTALS

Clear crystals such as clear quartz, Herimer Diamonds or Apophyllite will throw light on your emotional situation. By just holding or carrying a clear quartz can instantly lighten your emotions bringing peace and harmony. 

RED CRYSTALS

Red crystals can help you achieve your very hearts desire. Using a ruby for instance or red stone can disperse imbalances of the heart such as guilt or unworthiness that may have blocked your self confidence. It can also provide you with the necessary emotional fuel to help you to move forwards by releasing stagnant built up energy. A garnet and zircon will help to lift melancholy and can help to release feelings of failure and fear. 

ORANGE CRYSTALS

An orange carnelian helps to heal the etheric body and so can keep you grounded and stop you from withdrawing into a fantasy world. Often used in chakra balancing it can help to focus your emotions and offers you protection from envy and hatred or rage from others. Carnelian is a good life-force supplement and can help to put behind you past physical abuse. Amber is an excellent stone to be used for the Aura and can heal gaps and holes in the aura that maybe causing emotional imbalances. 

PEACH CRYSTALS

Peach crystals such as Morganite, peach moonstone and peach calcite can help to stabilize volatile emotions. These stones are excellent for learning self-love, especially for the part of yourself where you feel you have been judged and may have feelings of rejection or have felt unlovable. 

YELLOW CRYSTALS

Yellow Citrine is a most energizing and uplifting stone and is helpful for anyone suffering from depression. Can help to ease suicidal tendencies.

GREEN CRYSTALS

Emeral, Dioptase, Malachite and Green Tourmaline are known as diagnostic stones that can help to really get to the heart of any problem. Peridot heals the negative energy of the green ray - jealousy, resentment, selfishness, hypochondria, greed and spite. Pale Green can help release fears of failure. It can also be helpful for people who need to put on a brave face and can help them to honor these feelings of pain whilst at the same time gently releasing them. 

In our next article on crystals the following colored crystals will be covered. Purple, Pink, White, Black and Multicolored. (see crystal colours continued)

Having a facial massage not only improves circulation but will also ensure your skin is looking its best by having a fresher and more glowing look. As a facial relaxes the muscles this helps to relieve tension frowns.The choice of crystal for this massage will be influenced by the fact that our emotions can also affect our faces. Therefore a Rose quartz is a primary emotional healing crystal and this can help skin conditions that have emotional triggers such as stress.  You can also use a moonstone which is also a soothing and comforting stone to use.

1 Rose Quartz or one moonstone 

What to Do

1. Cleanse your face, be careful when cleansing and take care not to drag the skin.

2. Apply a light oil of your choice to your facial skin to encourage more of a fluid movement for the crystal.

4. Res the palms of your hands on your face with fingertips gently touching your forehead and the heels of your hands on your chin. Press gently and slowly draw your hands towards your ears. Repeat this movement 3 times.

Crystal Layouts

Crystal Layouts

Crystal layouts are set patterns of certain crystals and stones placed on and round the body. Each layout is designed to balance our vital energy in a particular way. Some layouts (known as nets) call for the client to lie upon a cloth of a particular colour in order to amplify the positive effect of the crystals. Most layouts require the client to lay down, however if you are working alone and doing a self treatment ensure that the crystals you need are within easy reach before you begin your session. 

How Long Should the Stone be left?

To get the benefit of the crystals you do not actually need to leave the stones too long.
Aprox 5 to 10 mins is usually quite sufficient. 

What type of stones/crystals?

Many crystal therapists use an assortment of crystals and tumble stones, however some layouts do require crystal points, which will direct energy in a more precise manner than tumbles stones.

Crystal Tips

Crystal Tips

It is thought that the best way to get the benefit out of crystals is to wear one, but carrying them with you, in either your pocket, bra, shirt pocket or bag is just as helpful. You can also place crystals around your home such as a rose quartz for instance will attract peace and love so is ideal for your bedroom. In feng shui it is believed that a piece of Citrine placed in the wealth corner of your home will boost your finances.

Crystal Energy

The energies from Crystals which are electro magnetic, work with the human body to encourage it to heal itself. Crystals no only work on the physical body but also the mental, emotional and spiritual. If you are taking medication then crystals will work in harmony with this.

Getting the best out of your Crystals

To really get the benefit from your crystals you should cleanse and re-charge them at least once a month. To cleanse your crystals you can run them under running water, pass through incense smoke to cleanse, or place them on a windowsill and leave in the full light of a full moon. The sunshine will also charge your crystals so you can rinse them and place in a bowl and leave on a sunny window ledge.


Who uses Crystals?

In past times the Ancient Egyptians and physicians used them to grind into a powder and mix them with various liquids to form a medicine. However we now know we do not need to do this and in our modern times  they are used by Crystal healers, Crystal therapists and Practitioners, Angel Healers and Reiki Healers, to name just a few.


Do you need to believe in Crystals?

No; you do not need to believe in crystals for them to work for you - they just do.

Can any one learn to use Crystals?

Yes; this is becoming a more and more popular therapy treatment and there are many courses online   or workshops and local holistic centers that are offering these treatments and also lessons in how to use crystals.

Crystal Power

The Power of Crystals

According to Robert W. Wood D. HP he makes a note that according to quantum physics, everything in the universe has an atomic structure - and that includes gemstones and crystals. They contain atomic energy, and this is the most powerful energy known on earth. Others talk of colour frequency. Red, orange and blue may seem to be different colours, but they are in fact all part of the same spectrum of light and any therapist whom works with colour will tell you. Similarly, we tend to think of light, heat and radio waves as being different from each other, but there is a connection. The electromagnetic spectrum represents the complete range of radiation including gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet light, visible white light (visible to the human eye), infra-red light, microwaves and radio waves. Just because you cant see it does not mean its not there. Similar to when listening to a radio, you can hear the sound but do not see where it is coming from, and so it is with the power of crystals. Therefore the power associated with Gemstones and Crystals falls into this "can.t be see or heard " category. 

What can we use crystals for?

It would be easier to say what can't you use them for as their uses are so diverse. Apart from the obvious of wearing crystals as jewelry and having a wonder chandelier there are many more uses that where crystals are used that you may not even be aware of. LCDs (liquid crystal displays)  are used in a wide range of applications including computer monitors, televisions, instrument panels, aircraft cockpit displays, and signage. They are common in consumer devices such as video players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones, and have replaced cathode ray tube (CRT) displays in most applications.

Crystal Healing

The practitioner places crystals on different parts of the body, often corresponding to chakras, or places crystals around the body in an attempt to construct an "energy grid", which is purported to surround the client with healing energy.

According to practitioners, when the stones are placed in the area of the chakras, the colour of the stones may be chosen so as to correspond to the colour which is said to be associated with the corresponding chakra. Stones are used at the feet to try to "ground" the individual, or held in the hands. Practitioners sometimes use crystal wands, which are placed near the receiver's body, or near a certain 'blocked' chakra

JADE

Different cultures have used crystal healing over time, including the Hopi Native Americans of Arizona and Hawaiian islanders. The Chinese have traditionally attributed healing powers to microcrystalline jade, and some other eastern cultures believe that emerald will strengthen the memory and increase intelligence.

In Feng Shui, Jade has over the centuries been used for harmony and balance due to its serene abilities.

Crystal Therapy

Choosing the right Crystal for you

How to Choose the right Crystal

There is such a variety of crystals it really can seem overwhelming knowing which one to choose or which one is right for you. Of course depending on your mood or what is happening in your life at the current time then your choice of crystal will vary. For instance if are feeling a little down or depressed you may find yourself drawn to choosing a clear or Lithium Quartz. These quite often offer relief from stress and tension and help you to think about a situation with more clarity. 

It is not always easy to choose a crystal by just the look of it, sometimes you really need to pick it up and hold it. By doing this you will get in tune with the vibration of the crystal and even though you may not know why you will have a feeling that it just feel right. Quite often our higher- selves know what we need and so you will be instinctively drawn to a certain crystal or colour. 

Choosing a Crystal for others

Of course when it come to choosing for someone else then your methods may vary. For instance you may know your friend loves the colour purple so would be drawn to a lovely piece of amethyst, however this may not be what they need at this time. To ensure you get it just right there are a number of methods that you can choose. Visualize your friend and ask your guide or angel to connect with theirs so that you may choose the crystal that will be for their highest good at this time. You maybe surprised that you may suddenly feel drawn to another one which at first glance would not have been of your choosing. 

Another method you can use if standing in front of a crystal stand or shop, is to close your eyes, visualise your friend and then when you open your eyes pick the first crystal you are drawn to. Do not hesitate as this is a method to connect to your intuition. 

Choosing Crystals to wear

When choosing any crystal to actually wear I personally think it is important to see the crystal, try and feel its energy regardless of whether it is in  a real shop or just a virtual shop online,  and of course you must like the colour. It is recommended that when you get home you  wash your crystal under clear water for a few moments and whilst doing this ask your guides to help this crystal bring you good luck and positive energy. You should also wash crystals on a regular basis to avoid them gaining a low vibration.
