TREASURES
OF THE EARTH!


For the sake of simplicity, I have included in the category of "stones" rocks, crystals, gems, jewels, petrified and/or fossilized resins & wood, metals, etc.

Stones in all these forms are wonderful little packages of energy that can be used for a wide variety of purposes.

I have been a rock hound since I was a small child... and have an enormous collection of stones.

Each and every one is different, and I have various stones placed in every room of our home, in our garden, and use them in charm bags and rituals.











CLEARING / CLEANSING

It is said by many stones and crystals need to be cleansed and/or charged before use. Personally, I think stones are already power packed, by Mother Nature!

But you do encounter some that have a negative feel or energy, but it can easily be removed:

- Pass through the four elements: earth, fire, water & air

- Place in the freezer

- Place in running water (preferably a stream or river)

- Held under running water

- Place in the light of the moon (some say for a full cycle of the moon)

- Place in the light of the sun

- Submerging them in sea salt

- Passed through fire/flame

- Dip into salt water

- Smudge/Passed through smoke

The amount of time and method is entirely a personal preference ;-)











ENCHANTING

You can enchant or program a crystal or stone to a specific purpose. Stones can receive and hold thought forms. Thoughts are energy, and are magnetic in form. When this is done intentionally, it is called enchanting or programming.

Some say you can only enchant a quartz crystal, but I disagree. I think they are stronger, but any stone can be enchanted to some degree.

There are many ways to program stones, three of which are:


The Passive Method

The easiest method, achieved by repetitious use of the stone for the same specific purpose


The Active Method

Project your purpose into the crystal, being very specific and precise. Your intention must be in harmony with the crystal for it to work properly.


Charging with Reiki

Hold the stone between your palms and start the flow of Reiki. Amplify the energy. Cleanse and heal any areas and energies of the stone. Will and visualize the stone having the healing energies of Reiki. Allow Reiki to flow until it naturally shuts off.











COLORS

I have found that for myself... the color of a stone also has significance, in conjunction with the properties of the particular stone.

Many stones come in a variety of hues (such as agate and jasper), and for me, it is often the color that determines its use.











LAYING ON
OF STONES


Crystal Healing, Crystal Therapy, or Gem Therapy uses stones for therapeutic and healing purposes. Stones can be laid over chakra points of the body or specific stones or colors used in specific areas. Stones emit vibrations and frequencies that affect body, mind, and spirit.

Many problems result from blockages of the vital life energy within the physical body. Powered by strong intent, stones can be used to correct this energy flow.

You can be soothed or stimulated depending on the stones used and the intent.


SUGGESTIONS:

- Lay a pattern of clear quartz crystals around person to be healed

- Lay a clear quartz crystal in each hand

- Lay a clear quartz crystal below each foot

- Lay colored gemstones on the chakras (start from the root up)

- Use meditation to direct appropriate energies where needed

- Visualize light in the chakra color most appropriate to need

- Remove stones in reverse order

CRYSTAL CLARITY

The quality or value of natural crystal is judged by clarity. Clarity ranges from milky white to glass clear that sparkles like a cut diamond.

Most crystals are milky at the base and clear gradually toward the tip.

The milky part of a crystal is the yin or feminine, The clear part of the crystal is the yang or masculine.

A crystal with both promotes balance of masculine and feminine energies.

Large, water and glass clear crystal points with smooth sides are very rare and valuable.
