REIKI CRYSTAL HEALING INTRODUCTION

REIKI AND CRYSTALS Reiki is a band of energy frequencies that exists throughout the Universe. This band of frequencies can interact with living systems and crystalline structures. Reiki energy works with the body’s natural healing process to bring balance and harmony to the mind, body, and spirit.

Crystals transmit and amplify energy and store information. Because of the specific manner by which the crystals were formed, their crystalline structure and chemical composition, different crystals are able to work on specific conditions or problems while helping to restore a state of balance and harmony. The healing powers of Reiki and crystals work synergistically to produce powerful results.

In the beginning, the Earth was a cloud of gases. Through the process of time, these gases contracted to become more and more dense, eventually forming an extremely hot sphere. The interior of the Earth today is very much as it was in the beginning. Although we have acquired a firm but relatively thin crust. A good visual would be to think of the skin of an apple. It isn’t very thick at all considering all that it contains! The Earth’s crust is also not even - it is only 3 to 6 miles under the ocean floor and 13 to 38 miles under the continents. Fortunately for us, the crust has great insulating properties. Unless you live next door to a volcano or in an area with frequent earthquake activity, you would never notice that there is molten rock under your feet.

SUMMARY OF THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF EARTH o Solid Inner Core—consists of mostly iron with small amounts of nickel and other metals o Liquid Outer Core—consists of iron with small amounts of nickel and other metals o Mantel—composed of rock and magma o Crust—solid rock

Do you know the difference between the words “magma” and “lava”? Both refer to molten rock. The word “magma” is used when referring to molten rock beneath the surface of the earth. The word “lava” is used when referring to molten rock that has reached the surface of the Earth.

3 The magma in the interior of the Earth is in a constant state of unrest and it is very hot. The molten rock closer to the center of the Earth is hotter, and thus lighter than the magma closer to the surface. Because the magma closer to the center of the Earth is lighter in weight, it is constantly rising toward the surface. As the lighter magma rises closer to the surface, it cools down and becomes heavier. The extra weight it acquires as it cools off causes the magma to sink back down. These types of movement (called convection currents) cause the crust of the earth to move as well. This is how cracks form causing the continental plates to move apart. When the cracks in the Earth’s crust open up all the way down to the magma, the magma rises, powered by the pressure coming from the inner core of the Earth. The rising magma can burst through the crust as a volcanic eruption. Most of the time, the magma does not reach the surface. Instead it cools off and solidifies somewhere along the way. From the solidification of minerals in the magma, this is how igneous minerals and rocks are formed.

The way crystals form is similar to how rock candy is made. Physics tells us that hot liquids can dissolve larger quantities of solid matter than cold liquids do. For example, when you place a large amount of sugar in boiling water, the hot water dissolves the sugar and the sugar stays in solution. As the water temperature cools down, the water and sugar mixture become extremely saturated. This means that there is more sugar in the water than the water can hold in solution (liquid form). The sugar begins to precipitate out of the water, and sugar crystals begin to form. Crystals form in much the same manner. Likewise, while close to the center of the Earth where it is hotter, the minerals in the magma stay in solution. However, as the magma comes closer to the surface, it becomes cooler and can no longer hold the minerals in a liquid state. The minerals start to solidify as rocks and crystals in the cracks and crevices found along the way to the surface.

IGNEOUS ROCK AND CRYSTALS—PRIMARY The factors that affect the formation of crystals are heat, pressure, and the length of time it takes for the magma to cool off. The longer it takes to cool, the larger and more beautiful the crystals will be. When the minerals crystallize deep in the Earth, it can take millions of years for the crystals to form due to the length of time at these depths. Conversely, if the minerals crystallize at the surface of the Earth from volcanic lava after a volcanic eruption, the process is much quicker. It takes only a matter of days, weeks, or months. These surface crystals are very small because the cooling off period was fast. Also, magma is not uniform in its concentration of minerals. This is why certain kinds of rocks and crystals are only found in certain parts of the world. Rocks that come directly from magma are called igneous rocks and are classified under the primary type of formation. Moonstone, Onyx, and Sodalite are some examples.

HOW IGNEOUS ROCKS AND CRYSTALS HELP US Igneous rocks and crystals are formed from minerals in the magma. However, the minerals in the magma are just the potential for the minerals’ transformation into crystals. Energy (heat and pressure) from the Earth, the passage of time, and the space to grow are necessary for the crystals to grow. We as humans grow and develop in very much the same manner as igneous rocks do. 4 Genetic traits we inherit from our parents influence our personalities, abilities, and talents and can be compared to the minerals in the magma. While these traits exist within us as potential, it takes years of growing, learning, and practicing for it to be expressed to one extent or another. For instance, it makes no difference if we are born as a talented painter such as Rembrandt, were we never to pick up a brush and paint. Similarly, igneous rocks and crystals are the best choice when you are learning new things and developing your abilities and talents. Igneous rocks and crystals provide you with the right energy to support your growing and learning processes.

SEDIMENTARY ROCKS AND CRYSTALS—SECONDARY After the crystals reach the surface of the Earth, additional factors play a role in the formation of sedimentary rocks and crystals. Sun, rain, wind, heat, cold and frost transform, transport, and erode the crystals over time. For example, the grains of sand on a beach are made up of quartz! Water will transport these rocks and minerals to new areas and deposit them there. These deposits (sediments) can bind together and become quite large. Over time, new rocks can form as a result. Additionally, water containing oxygen and other compounds can seep into the cracks found in rocks. Water and other compounds can oxidize (the process of losing electrons) or reduce (the process of collecting electrons) mineral compounds in the rocks. In other words, new rocks and crystals are created through the process of dissolving or adding minerals to the rocks. Rocks formed from sedimentation are classified under the secondary type of formation. Selenite, Turquoise, and Malachite are some examples of sedimentary rocks.

Some examples of crystals created by oxidation are Azurite, Malachite, and Turquoise. And some of those created by reduction are Silver and Copper.

HOW SEDIMENTARY ROCKS AND CRYSTALS HELP US Sedimentary rocks and crystals were created under the influence of external factors such as sun, rain, wind, heat, cold, and frost. When external factors such as job, career, family, friends, climate, etc. are causing negative influences in your life and health, work with sedimentary rocks and crystals to bring balance and healing to yourself and to your environment.

METAMORPHIC ROCKS AND CRYSTALS--TERTIARY As mentioned earlier, the Earth’s crust is not uniform in thickness. The crust is made up of individual plates that float on the magma, just as ice floats on water. The oceanic plates are 3 to 6 miles thick. The continental plates are 13 to 38 miles thick. These plates are always in motion. In some parts of the world, the plates are pushed together, folding into each other and creating long chains of mountains. The Himalayas, which are presently the largest mountain chain in the world, are an example of this process. According to geologists, only 10% of the crust’s mass is pushed to the surface. The rest is below ground. Icebergs behave in a very similar way. This continuing movement creates great pressure on rocks that have already formed below the earth. Through continuous movement, intense heat, and pressure, minerals are drained from these rocks and transferred to

5 other rocks. Rocks are squeezed together and pulled apart creating new metamorphic rocks through the process of metamorphosis. In this process, crystals are not melted down again, but instead are transformed from the inside out. The process by which these rocks form is called “tertiary”. Kyanite, Moldavite, and Rhodonite are examples of rocks that undergo this metamorphic process.

HOW METAMORPHIC ROCKS AND CRYSTALS HELP US Metamorphic rocks and crystals are transformed from the inside out through intense heat and pressure. You also experience metamorphosis. Life brings about heat and pressure, especially during times of change. Nothing in life is permanent. Accepting change can be very difficult. It can be frightening to let go of the old and the familiar to accept the new. Change does not have to be difficult if you allow yourself the opportunity to release attachment to the old and embrace the new. In fact, change can be wonderfully easy. Metamorphic rocks and crystals help support you in times of change. They teach you to accept that change is a fact of life and help you to ease and release the fear of letting go of the old and the familiar. Metamorphic (tertiary) rocks and crystals help you change from the inside out, making your own metamorphic process more balanced and easier.

Bloodstone is a great purifier and healing stone for dispelling negative influences from the energy field and bringing the root chakra into balance. A great stone to have for those who are battling an illness, going through tough times, it offers courage and solace. Some call it the stone of the Spiritual Warrior. It is the stone of Christ Consciousness. Used with Moldavite it accelerates and transforms one’s life toward one’s highest path.

Chrysocolla—Throat, Heart and Root Chakras

MISCELLANEOUS CHAKRA HEALING GEMSTONES

Boji Stone—Lower Chakras, Torso, Lower Limbs

Highly regarded for balancing the male and female energy and alleviating pain. Boji stones carry electromagnetic energy, and each Boji Stone has a negative and a positive side. These stones are used in pairs. Two males or two female stones can be used together since the males are less common than the females.

Ocean Jasper—All Chakras

Ocean Jasper is very soothing and helps to love one's self as well as others. It is very healing of the emotions and brings peace of mind. It helps with acceptance of responsibility and increases patience. The circular patterns on ocean jasper symbolize and help us realize that we are all interconnected, and nature is a cyclical pattern. It can also help with circular breathing for healing or meditation. Being a type of jasper, ocean jasper is a very protective stone, and any orbs ("eyes") enhance this in regard to protection from the "evil eye." Ocean Jasper is beneficial to digestive organs and

20 decreases toxins, abscesses, allergies, nightmares, throat inflammation, eye diseases, stomachache, leg ulcers, and more.

Arkimer Diamond

Key Words: Dreams, visions, purification, spiritualization of physical life, amplification of energy

Arkimer Diamonds manifest some of the highest and purest of all of the spiritual lights. They vibrate at the high end of the quartz spectrum. Thus, these stones enhance and amplify one’s connection to the higher spiritual domains. Arkimer are also used in dream work. Arkimers enhance the beneficial properties of any stone but they have a special affinity to Moldavite because Moldavite is a catalyst for one’s spiritual evolution and transformation.

21 CHECKING FOR POLARITY ORGANIZATION

CHECK YOUR OWN POLARITY FOR REVERSAL OR DISORGANIZATION For you to be more accurate in dowsing or muscle testing, your polarity must be organized. Polarity organization is dependent on the major flow of energy in your aura as it travels from head to foot. o When the flow of energy in your aura flows from head to foot (north to south), it is said to be organized. This is the ideal flow. Benefits of organized polarity are that you feel better, think more clearly and are in a relaxed state. Your ability to douse is enhanced. This energy state supports your well-being regardless of your physical well- being. o When the energy flow in your aura is from foot to head (south to north) then your polarity is reversed. Situations that may contribute to reversed polarity are fight or flight and stress. You are unable to think clearly and may experience body discomfort or pain. Your ability to douse is impaired o When the energy flow in your aura is not flowing consistently in either direction is it said to be disorganized. Stagnant energy in the aura can also be present and result in disorganized polarity. The same situations and effects of reversed polarity may appear here. Both reversed and disorganized polarity can be corrected

22 CORRECTING POLARITY Follow these instructions to test your own polarity and correct any polarity disorganization or reversal that you may have.

Body pendulum technique. It is based on the premise that whenever you act in a certain manner or place an object (or thought) that enhances your energy field, adjacent to your body, your body will recognize it as such, and your body will naturally swing forward. On the other hand, whenever you act, or place an object (or thought) that detracts from your energy field, adjacent to your body, your body will also recognize it as such and will naturally swing backwards. Perform the test in two parts: 1. Stand with feet shoulder width apart. Bend your knees slightly. Place either hand 3-5” over your crown chakra with the palm facing the crown. Allow your body to rock naturally. Your body should rock forward. 2. Stand with feet shoulder width apart. Bend your knees slightly. Place either hand 3-5” over your crown chakra with the palm facing away from the crown. Allow your body to rock naturally. Your body should rock backwards. o If your body rocked forward in test number one and backward in test number two, your polarity is organized and you can proceed with muscle testing or dowsing. If it did not, i.e., your body rocked backward in test number one and forward in test number two, or if the results were the same for both tests, then your polarity is either reversed or disorganized. Please perform the following correction before proceeding with muscle testing or dowsing. If your polarity is reversed or disorganized, you may not be able to receive accurate answers while dowsing or muscle testing. Correct your own polarity by using Cook’s Crossovers before you proceed with the treatment. You may also perform the following correction:

23 1. While keeping one hand over your navel, sequentially place your other hand on the K-27 points (under the inferior border of the clavicle, approximately one inch from the center, center of the chin, above upper lip, and the tip of the coccyx, and deliver Reiki to each of these points. 2. Note: Muscle testing may not yield accurate information from a client who is experiencing reversal or disorganization. Either correct your client’s polarity before muscle testing or use other methods of assessment.

COOK’S CROSSOVERS Cook’s Crossovers re-establishes the body’s natural balance by aligning its electromagnetic field as well as reducing stress and tension. Use this as often as you would like.

o Method One 1. Cross one leg over the other. Extend your arms out in front of you with the palms of your hands facing the floor. Cross the hands at the wrists so that the top hand is opposite the top leg. Turn the wrists inward until palms face each other and interlace your fingers. Keeping this grasp, fold arms inwards bringing the hands to your chest. Press the tip of the tongue to the palate just behind the front teeth. Hold this position for several minutes. 2. To end Cooks’ Crossovers, uncross your hands and feet and place your hands in a prayer position, with only the fingertips touching. Disconnect the tip of your tongue from your palate. Hold this position for several minutes. o Method Two 1. Cross one ankle over the opposite knee. Hold the top of that ankle with the hand that is on the same side as the knee. Now take the hand that is on the same side as the ankle’s and cover the foot sub-chakra of the crossed foot. 2. End the exercise in the same way that is indicated for the above method. o Method Three While keeping one hand over your navel, sequentially place your other hand on the K-27 points (under the inferior border of the clavicle, approximately one inch from the center, center of the chin, above upper lip, and the tip of the coccyx, and deliver Reiki to each of these points. Note: Use this method for absent treatments, small children, pets or anytime the receiver cannot do methods one or two.

24 CLEANSING YOUR CRYSTALS

Crystals need to be cleansed on a regular basis. Crystals absorb the energy of their surroundings, good or bad. Crystals cannot discriminate between positive and negative energy. Here are some guidelines that will help you cleanse your crystals safely. Some crystals are damaged by sunlight. Amethyst becomes pale and loses the benefit of its violet ray. I do not recommend cleansing your crystals in direct sunlight.

Some crystals can be damaged by salt. Sodalite is an example of a crystal that is damaged by salt. Be incredibly careful before you cleanse your crystal in a salt bath. Make sure that doing so will not damage the crystal.

Selenite and all kyanites are self-cleansing

GUIDELINES

If your crystal is dirty, carefully rinse your crystal in cold water. Use a soft brush to break away any dirt or debris. Do this first before proceeding with the cleansing techniques.

o A quick way of cleansing crystals in-between Reiki sessions is to pass your hand over the crystals in a ‘Karate Chop’ style three times. Make the first two passes very rapidly. Then, for the last and final pass, make your pass very rapidly, ending with your hand directly over the crystal. The passes disperse the stagnant energy in the crystal and clear it very quickly.

Note: Only do one cleansing technique at a time. You may find that some cleansing techniques work better for you than others.

WATER ELEMENT CLEANSING

o Place your crystal under cold running water from your sink or facet. Hold it under the running water for approximately 60 seconds. The terminated end should be pointing downwardly as you rinse the crystal in order to disperse the negative energy. Afterwards, gently pat the crystal dry. o Placing your crystal (securely) in a stream (or river) of running water is an excellent way or cleansing your crystal.

25 FIRE ELEMENT CLEANSING

o Place your crystal outside on a clear sunny day but not in direct sunlight. The reflected light from the sun will cleanse your crystal. It is best to use this procedure for several hours so that it can have a more thorough effect. o Another alternative would be to leave your crystal out overnight on a night when the moon is out. The reflected light coming off the moon is very gentle and will cleanse your crystal.

AIR ELEMENT CLEANSING

o Smudging:. Sage is very cleansing and will clear the crystal thoroughly. Use Palo Santo or any cleansing herb

EARTH ELEMENT CLEANSING

o If your crystal has been used heavily and is very congested, the best choice is to use the natural properties of the earth to cleanse your crystal. Bury your crystal in the ground (make sure to mark the spot where you have placed your crystal). Leave your crystal there for at least one month before checking whether or not it has been cleansed. If the crystal is very congested and does not clear, leave it in the earth for a few more months. If after a few months there is no improvement, it may be best to retire the crystal and return it to the earth.

26 CRYSTAL HEALING LAYOUT

Select stones that are appropriate for your client. Please see the chart of chakra healing stones for information regarding the healing properties of some of the most important chakra healing stones.

After selecting the stones you wish to utilize, use the body pendulum or dowsing techniques to confirm that the stones you have selected are a good energetic match for your client. These will be the stones you will use in the crystal healing layout.

Ask your client to lay down supine (on the back) on a bodywork table to begin the grounding process. (Unless otherwise noted, please refer to the “Emotionality and Chakras” chart to determine which stone to use.)

Follow these rules to choose stones for the root, knees and feet

Stones placed at the feet and knees must have a grounding value equal to or greater than the stones placed at the root. Note: values are ranked in relation to one another. These stones serve as an examples based on our experience.

Grounding value scale: 4 Hematite Most grounding 3 Black tourmaline Grounding and also circulates energy 2 Ruby, Red Jasper Less grounding 1 Smokey quartz Least grounding

The grounding stone with the highest value (most grounding) must be at the feet. You can have stones of equal grounding value on root, knees and feet as long as the stones placed in those locations have equal to or greater value than the stones placed in the previous position.

Example 1 Example 2 Root Red Jasper (2) Root Red jasper (2) Knees Black tourmaline (3) Knees Red jasper (2) Feet Hematite (4) Feet Red jasper (2) Correct placement: most Correct placement: Sones have grounding stone placed at the equal grounding value at all feet positions

27 Example 3 Example 4 Root Black tourmaline (3) Root Hematite (4) Knees Black tourmaline (3) Knees Black tourmaline (3) Feet Red jasper (2) Feet Ruby (2) Incorrect placement: most Incorrect placement: most grounding stone is not placed at grounding stone is not placed at the feet the feet

Example 5 Root Ruby (2) Knees Red jasper (2) Feet Black tourmaline (3) Correct placement: most grounding stone placed at the feet

LAYOUT To start your layout, place the chakra healing stones that you have already selected for your client (see above) in the following chakra order: 1. Feet: Place a grounding stone, that has been tested for the client and follows the value scale listed above 2. Knees: Place a healing stone appropriate for the root chakra under or above each knee 3. Root Chakra: Place a healing stone appropriate for the root chakra over the root chakra 4. Lower Abdominal Chakra: Place a healing stone appropriate for the lower abdominal chakra over the chakra 5. Solar Plexus Chakra: Place a healing stone appropriate for the solar plexus chakra over the chakra 6. Heart Chakra: Place a healing stone appropriate for the heart chakra over the chakra 7. Throat Chakra: Place a healing stone appropriate for the throat chakra over the chakra 8. Brow Chakra: Place a healing stone appropriate for the brow chakra over the chakra 9. Crown Chakra: Place a healing stone appropriate for the crown chakra over the chakra 10. Leave the chakra healing stones in place for approximately 5-10 minutes

Remove the chakra healing stones in the following chakra order: crown, brow, throat, heart, solar plexus, lower abdominal, root, knees, and feet.

USING CRYSTALS DURING A REIKI SESSION

HANDS-ON REIKI SESSION FLOW SEQUENCE:

1. Complete the intake and get permission to touch

2. Work with your client to select the crystals for the layout (make sure the crystals have been cleansed ahead of time) based on selecting crystals as described previously

3. Help your client onto the bodywork table and perform scanning (optional)

4. Do a full body crystal layout. Leave the crystal layout in place for 10-15 minutes

5. Next, remove the crystal layout starting with the crown chakra and working your way down to the feet. You may leave grounding stones at the root, knees and feet during the Reiki session. Otherwise, remove the rest of the crystals

6. Proceed with the standard Reiki session. The effect of the crystals is already present in the energy field of the person receiving the session and will work synergistically with the Reiki energy you are about to administer o Note: Leaving the crystals directly on the body during the Reiki session could have too strong of an effect and it is not recommended

7. As an alternative, you may place crystals on the floor below the table under its corresponding location. For example, rose quartz could be placed under the heart chakra

8. Seal the energy in the aura by moving it from head to foot 3-5 times and end the session o Note: Anytime a crystal is placed, either on the body of the person receiving the session or below the bodywork table, grounding stones, such as hematite, should be placed below the person’s feet. The grounding stones should always be removed last, at the end of the session.

9. Cleanse crystals again

31 CHARGING CRYSTALS WITH REIKI

Crystals have the ability to store energy. Crystals can be charged with Reiki very easily and quickly. You can charge several crystals simultaneously. Follow these steps to charge your crystal(s):

1. Cleanse your crystals before charging

2. Once your crystal(s) have been cleansed, place your crystal(s) next to each other, on a table or stand. You can charge several crystals simultaneously. If your crystal(s) have terminations, place the terminations so that each end is facing one of your palm sub- chakras

3. Next, place each of your hands approximately one inch away from the crystal(s) and imagine a current of Reiki healing energy moving through your hands and filling up the crystal(s). Now, imagine the crystal(s) glowing with Reiki healing energy and hold your hands in position as you continue to imagine the energy flow for approximately 10 minutes

4. Once your crystal(s) has/have been charged, give thanks to the Reiki energy and to the crystal, and end the ceremony

Note: You will need to recharge your crystals according to how often you use them. When any crystal feels flat and empty, proceed to cleanse and recharge it.

32 REIKI SELF TREATMENT FLOW SEQUENCE

OPTION 1

1. Cleanse and select your crystals

2. Charge your crystals with reiki for approximately 10 minutes

3. Sit or lie down comfortably

4. Start placing your crystals on your body from the feet up ending on the crown.

5. With a clear quartz crystal on your crown, lie back comfortably for approximately 20 minutes (or longer)

6. The charged crystals will provide the reiki energy in this self-treatment variation

7. Remove the crystals, starting with the crown and ending with the feet

8. Cleanse your crystals again

OPTION 2

1. Cleanse and select your crystals

2. Start your self-treatment hand positions by holding the healing crystal(s) of your choice in your hands as you administer the self-treatment. If you wish, place all the crystals in a bag or large sock as you administer the hand positions

3. Complete your self-treatment

4. Cleanse your crystals again

Note: Receiving Reiki and crystal energy simultaneously is very powerful. If at any time during the session you feel over energized, remove the crystals immediately, starting with the one at the crown and working your way down to the feet. Discontinue the session. You may find that combining crystals and Reiki shortens the length of your self-treatment.

33 MEDITATING WITH CRYSTALS

MEDITATING WITH YOUR CRYSTAL Each crystal has its own vibrational signature (“fingerprint”). This meditation will begin the process of teaching you the vibrational signal of a crystal. By learning the vibrational signature, you will be able to call in the healing and spiritual qualities of the crystal into your life. Practice with one crystal at a time and master the vibrational signal before you move onto the next crystal. It is also important to learn the vibrational signal of a crystal so you can turn to it and access its healing properties when it is not physically with you.

STEPS: 1. Select and cleanse your crystal (example: rose quartz corresponds to the heart chakra). 2. Find a quiet place to meditate where you will not be disturbed. Sit in a chair with feet flat on the floor or sit cross-legged on the floor. Your body should feel comfortable and your mind relaxed. Your head, neck and spine should be in alignment 3. Hold the crystal in your hands or place it on a table or on the floor in front of you. 4. You can close your eyes if you wish and meditate on the energy of the crystal. Now, tune into the energy of the crystal and its healing and spiritual qualities 5. Imagine the crystal having gradually moved to its corresponding chakra (in this example: the heart chakra). Once there, imagine healing light pouring out of the crystal. This healing light is the vibrational signal 6. Once you feel the healing light has completely filled the chakra, dissolve the boundary between the chakra and your mind-body and allow the healing light to pour through you until you are completely filled with the energy from the crystal 7. Once you feel your mind-body completely filled with the crystal energy, dissolve the boundary between your mind-body and the universe and allow the crystal energy to flow without boundaries 8. Meditate for as long as you wish, although, it is recommended you meditate a minimum of 20 minutes every day until the healing and spiritual qualities of the crystal(s) has/have been integrated into your life and you are able to call in the vibrational signal of the crystal at will. It is also recommended that you carry the crystal with you on your person, except for when you are cleansing or charging it

NOTE: ONLY MEDITATE WITH ONE CRYSTAL AT A TIME MAKING SURE YOU CAN SUCCESSFULLY CALL IN THE VIBRATIONAL SIGNATURE OF THE CRYSTAL BEFORE ADDING MORE CRYSTALS TO YOUR MEDIATION.
