God’s earth is a healing earth. I am amazed at the plethora of choices He left here to heal our earthly bodies. This is a continuance from my previous post. So, you may want to read that one… In the last post, I went over how to cleanse your crystal. Now, I’m going to share a few healthful methods you might want to try.
The key to getting stones to assist in healing is keeping them near you. And, just like with food and herbs, it is a process. Okay, here are a few practical ways to add crystals to your health plan.
Toast and Sip Your Healing
You can drink the healing powers of various crystals by charging water with them. Get your safe tumbled stone, and put it in short glass filled with fresh spring water (If you don’t have that, just use store-bought spring water). Cover the glass. You can place it out in the sun or on a windowsill, and let it sit there for a few hours. The vibration of the stone should harmonize with the water, and you will reap the benefits. This also helps restore the structure of the water. I think clear quartz crystals are some of the safest stones to use for this purpose.
You can also just sit your stone on a selenite slab or under the sun or moon for a few hours by itself. When charged, you can place it inside the water, but you should wait a few hours before you drink it.
Since this water does not last long, you should consider just leaving crystals in the water. The geometric structure begins to come undone after taking the crystal out. This is usually done with a water bottle that encases the crystal to protect it. You can also turn your charged water into a preserved blend and keep it in a dark glass bottle with a tight stopper. It will still offer some benefits. You simply take 50% of your charged water and 50% vodka or brandy. This will help stop bacteria growth and extend its life.
You can take this whenever you want, but be sure to label it. (Always dilute with fresh spring water before you apply it to your face or eyes)
*Warning* Some stones are not safe to place in water because they may dissolve or cannot be ingested. You can find a short list on our Resources page. You can also do an indirect approach if you still want to ingest its healing properties. You can take a small glass and place the mineral in there. Then, place the smaller glass in a larger flat glass filled with water, and then place that under the sun/moon. Or, you can just place crystals around the glass of water.
*Also, some stones cannot be placed in the sun for long hours because they may fade or crack, so make sure you will not damage the stone before you do one of the methods. Be sure your mineral is smooth and does not have any cracks or impurities.
Chill and Heal
Another option is to place the mineral on your body. You simply lay down, chill or relax, and place the tool on the affected area (or energy center). Wait for it…hear some music…pray… or whatever you want to do. (You could also just bring the crystal near your magnetic field as they don’t need to touch your body.)
I have used a clear quartz crystal for mild headaches, and they have subsided quickly. I simply place the crystal on my head and relax. The most known quartz crystal for relieving headaches is amethyst, but this doesn’t work for everyone. It could make some people feel worse, which is why you need custom crystal suggestions. I have used moonstone for menstrual cramps, and the pain was muted.
You can also take a nice, calming bath (with a pure beeswax candle perhaps) and place a few of the stones in there with a tbsp of sea salt or clay. Or, you can drop a few drops of your preserved blend in the bath as well. That might work better if you don’t want to accidentally sit on a stone. Make sure your bath water is filtered and that you are using a safe stone. You might need to check the mohs hardness scale.
Keep a Crystal Pouch
This is a simple way to keep a stone near you (other than wearing it). I keep select crystals in a pouch and keep it on my person. I leave it in my pocket, and I take out the crystals frequently and hold them in my hand or put them near my device to cancel out harmful radiation.
Just Leave Them Around
You can also take your stones of choice and leave them around your home or office. You will still reap some of the benefits that will assist in healing. But, it may not be as strong as other methods unless you use several crystals or create a grid in a room.
Two minerals you may want to leave around your home or office are Tourmaline and Amethyst. Tourmaline can cancel out harmful radiation pretty well, and amethyst is known to be calming, like lavender.
If you are using a stone for direct purposes (ex. placing directly on a person’s body), you should cleanse (or clear) the stone after a session as the crystal may need to be reset to its natural, balanced state.
However, it is said that Selenite & Kyanite are self-cleansing? So, you may want to cleanse them every now and then. See what works for you. Cleanse other crystals routinely to give them a fresh start.
There, now you have various methods to promote healing with another part of God’s Creation. Remember, it is best to have a customized, holistic plan to tackle issues. I focus on my spiritual, soul, and physical health to cover all bases. And I use crystals with a connecting herb or food that matches my unique makeup. I like using crystals because they are reusable. As long as you care for them, they’ll be your friends for many years to come.
If you are going to be studying crystal healing, be careful. Talk to God because there is a lot of heshblue out there. You must be grounded in God’s Word.
Shalom,
