I © 2016 Hay House Introduction Crystal healing is a time-honored tradition harkening back to the time of when crystals, light, and color were used to restore the mind, body, and spirit; and crystal served as the foundation for advanced technology. References to precious stones can be found in sacred texts from around the globe. The Bible notes that adorned the breastplates of high priests. In ancient Sanskrit writings, is noted as the gem that removes fears. Healers, mystics, artists, and scientists have explored and employed crystalline gifts of Heaven and Earth to enhance the well-being of humanity. Archeologists have found crystalline vessels, strands of beads, and other crystal jewelry in digs from ancient cultures dating back over 6,000 years. Crystals continue to fas- cinate us with their individual beauty and healing properties. Crystal therapy helps soothe the spirit, realign the chakras, and support physical healing. Humans have a natural connection with crystals, as we share a similar physical composition. Trace , including calcium, magnesium, , and , are found in the body and contribute to overall health. Additionally, the physical body is over 60 percent water, similar to the composition of our beautiful planet. Integrative counselors, spiritual practitioners, and massage therapists call upon the and the kingdom to help others (and themselves). Shui experts incorporate specific crystals into their practice to shift energy flow. Crystals are their way into our homes, workplaces, and healing environments—wheth- er we are a CEO or a holistic practitioner.

II Angel Medicine Crystal Healing Experiences Excerpted from the book Angel Medicine by Doreen Virtue

I place large, clear quartz crystals near my telephone to boost my connection when I give readings over the phone. There’s no doubt, in other words, about crystals’ power to boost energy. I’ve used crystals for many years and can attest to their power. For instance, I once purchased a sugilite at an expo a few minutes before a speech I was giving was to begin. I put the pendant on as I walked into the auditorium, and immediately began trance-channeling Archangel Michael for the first time publicly. Since then, whenever I’m called upon to channel Michael before an audience, I always wear sugilite, as I’ve found that the stone is aligned with his energy.

An Australian nurse named Elisabeth Jensen experienced a profound healing with the help of a crystal and the angels. Eleven years ago, she was severely depressed and suffered from a nonmalignant pituitary tumor that affected her entire hormonal system; she also had chronic back pain. If that weren’t enough, Elisabeth’s boyfriend was very violent and abusive toward her, and he also suffered from a chronically draining wound that hadn’t responded to any treatment.

1 Elisabeth had a clairvoyant ability to see en- ergy and auras, and one day she purchased a clear quartz crystal. As she was showing the crystal to her boyfriend, something magical happened: The crys- tal seemed to trigger an outpouring of white light from Elisabeth’s chakra and hands toward her boyfriend. Elisabeth says, “I felt very calm and blissful and put my hands on him as directed by an angelic voice. After about half an hour, the energy disappeared, and we both felt wonderful and peaceful. Elisabeth’s pituitary tumor also disappeared as a result of the one session with the crystal-directed white light, along with her depression and pain, and she became more psychically aware of angels. She now teaches workshops on the topic.

K. G. of New Brunswick, Canada, visited a crystal healer for help with neck pain. The healer, who used and treatments along with crystal work, identified K. G.’s neck pain as stemming from blocked energy in that region. During their first session, the healer placed a crystal under K. G.’s neck, explaining that this would help ground (release and balance) the problem. At first, K. G.’s pain was relieved, but within a few minutes, it returned. The healer said, “The crystal is full.” Like a vacuum cleaner bag filled with too much soot, the smoky quartz needed clearing, so the healer cleansed the crystal and once again began extracting pain energy from K. G. In addition to the smoky quartz, the healer gave K. G. a calcite stone to hold in one hand and an in the other. The healer explained that these crystals helped keep the energy moving down and out of K. G.’s body. K. G. says, “Once I started using my healing gifts more, things improved. From time to time my neck will still bother me, so I will use my crystals, which now also include , clear quartz, and smoky quartz to clear up the pain.” K. G. says that when pain arises, it reminds her that she’s not using her healing gifts enough in the world. The pain motivates her to take action, which—together with the healing properties of the crystals—helps her neck to heal. Like K. G., I’ve discovered that smoky quartz is excellent for removing toxins, psychic debris, entities, and unhealed situations from the past. Just by placing a smoky quartz crystal point at my bedside, with the point directed away from me, I’ve had some of the most clearing and therapeutic dreams of my life. This crystal’s ability to draw darkness out of the body is unparalleled.

2 Sixteen-year-old Fiona from Scotland used crystals to heal a migraine headache. She lay upon her bed and held a green crystal in her left hand and a bloodstone in her right. She also placed a heart-shaped clear quartz crystal upon her forehead, a great stone for clearing the third-eye area. Fiona visualized a circle around herself and asked this circle to provide perfect protection against any lower energies. Inside the circle, only high energies of love were allowed. Then, Fiona visualized her green agate sending green healing light energy into her body, clearing away any- thing that was causing her migraine. Fiona asked that all pain and negative energy be sent into the bloodstone in her right hand. She breathed deeply and calmly, and very soon her migraine disappeared. As Fiona got up, she noticed that the bloodstone had turned black! All the negative energy and pain had been transferred into the stone, just as she’d requested. Green stones, such as the agate that Fiona used, or , are wonderful amplifiers of the healing green light that comes from the heart chakra . . . and also the Archangel Raphael.
