Restoring balance to stressful lives is something that all people would like to do, and with crystal healing, that is possible. For centuries, crystals have been recognized for more than their beauty; scientists have discovered that during ancient times, crystals were used for their healing power. The spiritual properties that crystals possess have been used by priests, healers, spiritual seekers, and other individuals that believe the stones have special powers that can heal the body. With this ebook, you will discover how crystals can help you restore that balance in your life; how you can handle stressful situations that may come your way, and how crystals can help amplify and enhance the healing energies in your body. Although there is no magical power that accompanies crystals, there is a spiritual power that helps those dormant powers within your body come to life and do their job. More specifically, help you heal. What type of healing do crystals really provide? These stones can help you heal in a variety of ways, including: spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Some individuals use crystals to help aid with physical development, holistic healing, and more. The crystal healing process allows you to get to know more about who you are, what makes you happy, and what keeps you from stressing. You can rediscover yourself in the most natural way when you use the healing powers of crystals to transform you and your body. It is true that the body has its own, powerful method of self-healing. The use of crystals can help you tap into that self-healing power. But how does a gemstone help lead to better health? Simple: The crystals heighten the frequency of your energy, which will force out negative vibrations that are in your body. This is known as crystal healing, and it can improve the overall vitality and constitution within your body. The types of crystals that are available for healing will vary, but each crystal has its own unique properties. The properties and energies found in one crystal will not be the same as those found in other stones. For example, if you use hematite, it will not have the same properties that clear quartz does. Clear quartz can help harmonize and balance your body, eliminating any negatives that may exist; instead, clear quartz will activate positive energy within your body. If you use hematite, it can balance out the body's energies by deflecting any negativity, as hematite is considered to be a grounding stone. 4
However, regardless of which crystal you use, the positive energies that you will receive from the crystals are natural, and they work with the energies inside of your body to provide natural healing. If you want to learn more about crystal healing, then this book is for you. You can use the information contained in this book to learn... The necessary steps that will make crystal healing work for you How to determine which crystals you should use. How to properly cleanse the crystal that you use. How to tell if the crystals have side effects.... and much, much more. Perhaps you want to use crystal healing for yourself, or for the benefit of your family and friends; you may want to use this book to start your own natural healing business. Regardless of why you want to learn more about crystal healing, the fact is, everything you will need to know about this spiritual healing process is inside this book, and once you read it in its entirety, you will know all that you need to know about crystal healing. It has been mentioned before that the energy given off from each stone will vary; this is determined by the internal crystalline structure, and which atomic vibrations are specific to that structure. Each stone will have its own unique way of resonating and strengthening the various energies that are in your body. The energy will be subtle, and it is able to resonate within your body because the energy that comes from the stones is subtle as well. It is subtle because it uses a less physical nature when compared to other types of energy, such as electricity, heat, and mechanical energy. Crystals heal in a very subtle manner. For instance, you may carry a stone around in your pocket for a couple of days before you begin to notice that the healing is taking place. The energy from the crystals will reveal itself in a more subtle, quiet, and gentle way. 5
The amount of energy emitted by crystals and stones has yet to be determined by scientists. Although scientists know that there have been great achievements credited to crystal healing, they do not have a clue where to start in measuring your personal energy. Since the energy from the crystals is subtle, it makes it almost impossible for a scientist to measure. A scientist would need to determine the types of energy you put out in the form of human qualities, which include acceptance and patience. You could put this type of energy out at any given time, and that makes it extremely difficult to measure. Just because a scientist cannot measure the energy does not mean it is not there; it is. People who have participated in crystal healing have discovered many benefits from this natural form of healing; benefits that have had long-lasting effects. The crystals will vibrate at the same pitch as a person's frequency, which helps to relieve suffering that may be occurring inside his or her body. This is due to the resonance between a stone and a person. This resonance will either amplify a person's vibration of health, or combat the vibrations of illness. Many people are now turning to crystals as a natural remedy to cure ailments within the body, and as a form of natural therapy that helps them maintain optimum health. You can use various sizes of crystals for healing, including those incorporated into necklaces or pendants. In fact, wearing jewelry that contains stones is a very creative, convenient, and attractive way to carry such crystals around while they help you heal. However, you should not wear a necklace that contains multiple types of stones because they do not generally help with healing. Sometimes the different types of stones on a necklace, pendant, bracelet, or earring can cancel each other out due to the different types of energies that they all possess. If one of the stones is transparent, such as a diamond or clear quartz, it may work to amplify the healing effects of the other stone. Energy of different stones can harmonize when used together in some cases. Sometimes the different types of stones are incorporated into a piece of jewelry because they look great, not because their collective energies harmonize. You can choose to use large or small stones for crystal healing; the choice is entirely up to you. The type of stones that you use will typically determine the strength of the stone's energy, not the size. For instance, Rhodizite is a small stone, but this tiny stone gives off a lot of powerful energy. Small crystals are known to have the highest vibration; therefore, they work better. Tanzanite is the name of a small gemstone that has a wonderful vibration, which is why many people seek out this small stone in comparison to a larger stone. 6
When you want to experience personal growth, crystals and stones can help. The vibrations from crystals will give you an edge in growth due to the interaction between your inner self and the crystalline structure of the stones. The energies that already exist inside of you are actually resonated by the crystals and stones. The vibration that you receive from the stones will give you a boost of energy that makes you want to grow and become a better person. You will adopt a new attitude because of the crystals and stones; sometimes you will even take a leap of faith pertaining to the choices you want, and need, to make. The crystals and stones are to help you accept change, instead of being afraid of it. Remember that even though the crystals and stones are helping you boost your energy, it is actually up to you to make the learning and growing. Crystals do not automatically remove any personal weaknesses that you have. They do not actually improve your physical strength, either; however, the crystals can boost the energy within you that is necessary to help you feel more positive and better about your life. The way that the crystals and stones interact with your inner self is what will help enhance your human qualities. The crystals and stones are often believed to be magic, but the truth is, the crystals work to enhance the strength and positivity that already exist within a person. 7
Although crystals and stones help you enhance the healing powers that you already possess, you should remember that stones are not to be used in place of medication that have been prescribed by your physician, especially in the case of an emergency. The way that crystals heal your body varies, depending on the type of crystal you use. Crystals can be used to amplify, cleanse, and balance out the healing energies that already exist within your body. The natural energy that each crystal has will react and work with the energies within your body to remove negativity, and balance out your body. While it is important to keep taking the prescriptions that your doctor has prescribed, sometimes doctors will suggest that you use crystals to heal so that you can balance your mind and body. Continue to take your doctor s advice, but also learn more about the crystal healing process, and then step-by-step, learn how to infuse these crystals into your life. It is important that you understand as much about incorporating crystals in your life if you will be using it as an alternative form of health care. In fact, more and more mental health professionals are suggesting crystal healing to reprogram their patients' thought patterns. Crystals and stones can work to improve your quality of life. The thought patterns that you now have could be creating negative results in your life, which is where stones and crystals help. So many of the thought patterns that we have are the result of things we have absorbed from friends, family, co-workers, the media, and authoritative figures in our lives. Stones and crystals can be used to help you realize these negative patterns, and shift them into thoughts and ideas that have better qualities. 8
For example, Black Tourmaline is quartz that clears out the lower energies that have a negative effect on your thought process. The stone works to clear out the destructive energetic vibrations in your body, transforming that energy into something more positive. Before you understand how crystals help your body, you will need to understand how the natural holistic process works. Throughout this book, you will notice the frequent use of the word body. This is in reference to the mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies within you. These are the emotions that you have, in addition to all of the thoughts, nuances, and feelings that you are experiencing. Your body is simply energy that shows up in various densities and patterns. The thoughts and feelings that you have are connected to your physical body, keeping your blood flowing, your heart beating, and so on. These patterns of energy will need to balance out in order for you to live a healthy and positive life. When the patterns are disrupted, you can begin to experience negative energy and bad health. Negatives include unappealing thoughts, headaches, disease, and so on. The natural and holistic process will heal your body, if you let it. Being open is a key factor in the natural healing process. When you use crystals and stones, they can help with natural healing. They help to return the natural patterns of energy that should be in your body. The stones radiate pure patterns within the body. The particles from the stones establish raw energy that is already in our bodies. The crystals will help restructure, balance, and send vibrations throughout the body that brings you back into that organic natural pattern of harmony. The stones help you let go of the negative thoughts that you may be holding on to, and heal. Every vibration that comes from a crystal is different; you will need to know which stone you need the most, and which stone you need the least. This is why the way that crystals are used will vary from person-to-person. For instance, some people will choose to keep crystals near them, under a pillow or worn on their bodies. In contrast, other individuals choose to use crystals in the bathrooms, or in other places around the home. The choice is entirely up to you. If you decide to wear the crystals, or keep them close to your body, you are generally using the crystals to protect your body, or for healing purposes. People who choose to place the stones underneath their pillows are trying to bring healing into their dreams. Before going to bed, you will need to state the intention that you have with the stone, and how you will be using it to send yourself a healing dream that you will remember and truly understand once you wake up. 9
If you use crystals during meditation, they can help put you in a great place with spiritual reality. If you gaze into a clear crystal, you can enter a meditative state, quickly. Crystals help calm and open your mind, to receive positive, spiritual energy. This is due to the natural affinity that crystals have with mediation. A good crystal to use while meditating is fluorite. When you place the crystals in your bathroom, they can help detoxify the body. These crystals can be used while you bath or take a shower. It not only relaxes your body, but it helps with your aura as well. Smoky quartz is a great crystal to use in the bathroom. The crystal will not only cleanse the water that you are using while taking a bath or shower, but it will also remove any of the negative energy that has been trapped inside of the water that has been recycled. You could attach the crystals to your showerhead, or place the gem in your bath water. Crystals can be placed around your home or office for ambience, but the crystals offer more than an attractive appearance. Crystals placed around the home can help protect you against environmental pollution, as well as electromagnetic smog. The crystals will keep the energies in your home vibrant, and the vibes harmonious. Crystals placed around the office can often encourage co-workers to cooperate with one another. A small Orange Carnelian is a small crystal that is used in offices to energize the room. Some people choose to make gem essences to alleviate ailments in the body, or mental conditions that may be causing negative thought patterns. You can make your own gem essence by using cleansed water. Simply place the cleansed gems inside of the glass and pour spring or purified water into the glass. Cover the glass with gauze and allow it to rest overnight. You could also expose the glass to sunlight for 2-3 hours if you do not prefer to let the gem rest overnight in the water. 10
Healing crystals and stones work better when they have been cleansed. In fact, cleansing crystals is all part of the healing process. You will need to remove any debris, sand, mud, or oils that may be on your crystal. You also want to remove any of the negative energy that is attached to the crystal before you use it to heal your body. Failing to cleanse the physicality of the stone, or the negative energies could cause that residual energy to transfer from the stone, onto to you. When you clean your crystals, you can use a dry brush. Coarse crystals can be cleaned with a stiff scrub brush and warm water, while brittle crystals will need to be cleaned with a soft toothbrush of medium size, along with warm water. After the crystal has been cleaned physically, you will need to cleanse the gem. This removes unwanted vibrations from the stone, as well as the negative energies that may be on the gem. When different people handle a stone, their energy may be left on it, and that is never a good thing. That negative energy can come off onto you, which is exactly what you do not want to happen. You can often feel when the energy of a crystal is not right for you, and this more than likely occurs because the crystal has not been cleansed properly. Salt water baths are great ways to cleanse some crystals. Simply soak the crystals inside of the salt water for a few hours. Some people even bury their crystals in actual salt for a week or two before using it. You can do whatever is more convenient. Crystals will need to be recharged and cleansed after they have been used, or worn for long periods of time. You can cleanse your new crystals in the sun; this also works for those stones that you have been using for some time. Most crystals, such as the clear Rock Quartz, love the sunlight. Remember that when you use sunlight to cleanse your crystals, you do not put the gem directly underneath the hot sun. Doing so could cause some crystals to fade or fracture due to the sudden temperature change. Enhydro is one crystal that should never be cleansed using sunlight; this gem could melt when exposed to the sun. Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst, and the Smoky Quartz will also react to the sunlight; these crystals are heat sensitive. 11
You could use visualization to cleanse your crystals as well. Simply run the crystals under water; make sure that the water is cold, not warm. As the water runs off of your crystal, visualize the unnecessary energy that is attached to the crystal rinsing off and flowing into the drain. Sometimes it is better to use purified water if you feel that the crystal could be damaged by the chemicals in your water system. Using your breath to cleanse crystals is also an option. When using this cleansing method, you will need to hold the crystal in your hand. Before breathing on the crystal, you will need to inhale deeply and affirm in your mind that you are using your breath to cleanse the crystal and remove any imbalanced energy that may exist within the crystal. You will need to repeat this over and over, until you feel that the crystal has been cleansed. If you have tried some of the many cleansing methods, and you are still not convinced that the stone has been cleansed, you may need to try out another crystal. You always want to use the crystal that is right for you, and if your mind is not open to the crystal, the healing process will not be successful. 12
When you choose a crystal, you will want to find the crystal that is just right for you. Crystals that work well for your friend will not necessarily be right for you. The most important criterion that goes in choosing a crystal is its vibration and your intent for it. Everything around you will vibrate at a particular frequency. As your physical world changes, so will the vibrations. For instance, if you are in a great mood and cheerful, your vibratory frequency will be high; however, when you are worried about a situation or person, your vibration frequency will be low. The purpose of the crystal that you choose is to increase your vibration frequency. Regardless if you are using the crystal to heal ailments, or to change your thought patterns, vibration will always be the main reason why you use a crystal. If you know what you are using the crystal for, that will help make the process simpler. Here are some crystals that can help with your emotional healing, as well as physical healing. Blue Kyanite This crystal can be used if you are suffering from back pain. The Blue Kyanite is a small crystal that has tremendous healing power. It is known to be a natural pain reliever. This is a stone of balance, and it can also be used to: lower blood pressure, release excess weight, and heal infections. Amethyst This is a crystal that many people use for spiritual healing. This is a stone of higher consciousness. The spiritual vibration of this crystal is high, and it can guard you from a physical attack. When using this crystal to heal your body, it will dispel any anxiety and fear that you may be feeling, along with anger. If you are suffering from sadness or grief, you can use this crystal to dispel those feelings as well. Amethyst is used to promote love. Sulfur This is a great crystal to use if you have suffered from an illness or injury. If you want to use a stone that reduces tissue growths, Sulfur is the crystal for you. This stone is used for releasing and energizing. It can absorb negative energies and emotions, and it also alleviates pain and swelling that you may be having in your joints. 13

Chakra stones are healing crystals that not only have a specific color, but they have a specific vibration. Soul Star Chakra Earth Star Chakra Throat Chakra Heart Chakra This is a white chakra that is used to help heal the soul. Black and brown chakras that are used to keep you grounded, since they connect with the earth. This is a blue chakra, and it is associated with the thyroid gland; it helps you with hearing, communicating, and speaking. This is a green and pink chakra that helps you live life from the heart. Quartz crystals are the best stones to use for anyone who is untrained with crystal healing.

The properties associated with quartz crystals are extensive, and can be used to heal a variety of issues. Quartz crystals are easy to wear, which helps simplify the healing process. A popular quartz crystal is the Strawberry Rose Quartz; its purpose is to improve the atmosphere. 14
It is important to program your crystals if you want them to be effective. Programming will need to take place once you have properly cleaned and cleansed your crystals. This is necessary to make sure that the stone you chose fulfils its purpose. For instance, if you chose a heart chakra, you will want to make sure that the stone is properly programmed so protect, or any other task, you will need to make sure that it is programmed. When you are programming your crystal, be sure that you are always focused. Before you attempt to program your crystal, make sure that it is compatible for the purpose you have chosen it for. You will not want to use a crystal that helps heal the heart to help with thyroid issues. Black Tourmaline can be used to help remove the negative energy at work amongst co-workers, but it should not be used to attract someone or something into your life. Make sure you know exactly why you are using the stone before you begin to program it. Now that you know the purpose of your crystal, the programming can begin. Some people write a script and use it to help stay focused on the stone s intention when speaking or thinking. You will always need to program the stone in a quiet area. Always have the crystal placed inside of your hand when you are programming it. While holding your stone, think about its purpose. This is where the written script from above can come in handy. Visualize what you will be using the crystal to do, and focus. You can then breathe into the stone, or use third-eye beaming. Use the cleansing methods discussed in the cleaning your crystals chapter to go along with the programming meditation. Crystals should be reprogrammed once every 28 days; if you feel your stone needs to be reprogrammed sooner, you can do it. Stones and crystals worn everyday can be programmed on a daily basis. 15
When you meditate with crystals, it can enhance your healing experience. This is especially true when you meditate with quartz crystals, which are the best gems to use for beginners. Quartz crystals are superconductors of energy. Regardless of which crystal you choose to use while meditating, you are trying to channel the energy from the gem and use it to amplify the energy in your body. When you use meditation with crystals, you will benefit spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Meditation should never take place with stones that have not been cleaned or cleansed. For better results, you should always program your crystals as well. The information that you have given the crystal will be stored and you always want to make sure that energy is gone once you begin the meditation process. This is especially true if you are using crystals that have been touched and handled by other individuals. You do not want the negative energy to carry onto you. 16
The next step with meditation is to choose the right crystal for your purpose of healing. Once you have verified the purpose of the crystal, you can go find a quiet place to sit while you are meditating with the gem. Sit down in a comfortable position while holding the crystal in your hand. You will need to hold the crystal in one hand on your lap, and use your other hand to cover it. You will then begin to visualize the energy entering your body from the top of your head. You can visualize the energy entering your heart chakra, down your arms and into your palms. The light that is traveling through your body also known as a vibration will exit your palms into the crystal. It is then sent back into your body, completing the circle. Continue to meditate on this energy as it goes in and out of your body. You can sit in any area that you are comfortable in when meditating with the crystal; this includes a chair, on the ground, in your bed, on a bench, or on a pillow. Always take a few deep breaths when you are meditating. Always relax and continue to focus. Think about the purpose of the crystal, and relax. You will notice that the energy from the stone flows right into your body. You will be connected to the energy of the stone, and the energy that is flowing inside of your body. This is a natural high that will balance your body and enhance the energy that you need to heal. This process will allow the natural healing energy in your body to work, and begin to help you heal from ailments. This process will also allow you to heal emotionally and spiritually. Once you have completed your meditation, be sure you store the crystals in a safe place. You can place the crystals on desks, tables, mantles, or any other place around the home and office where the beauty of the crystal can radiate throughout the atmosphere. If you store the crystals on window seals, they will provide protection for your home. Regardless of where you choose to store your crystals, make sure that they are kept at the correct temperature, and that they are not in an area where they can fall or be damaged. It is a good idea to set your crystals on a soft cloth while they are being stored. You do not want the crystals to be scratched. The love that you show your crystals will be given back to you. 17
For many people, using crystals may seem ridiculous, but it does work. If you were skeptical before, this book should have erased those skeptical thoughts from your mind. Be sure to consult with your doctor if you are currently using prescribed medication; crystals and stones should never be used in place of the medication that your doctor has prescribed, unless your physician tells you otherwise. When used properly, crystals can be an effective form of healing. They will help you remove the negativity within your body, replacing those negatives by boosting the positive energy in your body that will help you become a better you. Clear your mind, and help heal your body with crystals. Remember that the stones are used to work with the healing powers and energy that already exist in your body; together, you can improve your personal growth, heal your body, change your thought patterns, and have a positive outlook on life. 18
