When giving crystal healing I select the crystals for my clients intuitively, and on researching the precise properties of each of the crystals that I have chosen, I usually discover they are ideal for the personality and the issues of the client concerned. The crystals are often chosen before I have even met the client for the first time.

The intuition of a Healer is a powerful tool, and working together with the crystals they can be most beneficial when those crystals are allowed to gently release their healing vibration into the energy system of the person they are placed on or around.If your perspective on the subject is more scientific it is worth remembering that crystals are used in science and technology for a number of applications, and the reason for this is their acknowledged piezo electric effect. In short they vibrate and emit an energy that can be harnessed and applied.

We understand much more clearly nowadays that we can absorb many things from our environment simply by being close to or in contact with them, some are harmful some are healthful, so it is not strange that when

we place ourselves close to these wonderful stones which are made up of the very fabric of the planet we live on they are able to help us, just as herbs and fruits and vegetables which are also a part of the planet, can sustain and nourish us.

 How I began to work with crystals and some of my discoveries

After having worked as a Healer for a number of years, I found myself becoming drawn increasingly to crystals. Initially I began to collect crystals that attracted my attention and which I felt would make beautiful ornaments for our home. In addition I collected some beautiful crystal spheres also with the feeling that they were quite simply beautiful objects.

I could not understand why some crystals drew me quite strongly whilst others did not appeal to me at all, and I started to investigate the world of crystals and their properties and uses.I was intrigued as to why I could hold one piece of crystal in my hand and simply think that is pretty but not for me, or even wonder why anyone would even want to buy a particular crystal. At other times I would notice a crystal and simply have to hold it in my hand.

Without even being aware of what was happening I was slowly being introduced to the wonder of crystals. I am aware that opinion generally on the subject of crystals is divided. There are those who see them as pieces of coloured rock and really do think the whole concept of 'crystal healing’ is to quote a number of people I have spoken to 'without foundation'.

However, for those who have felt the mystical properties of crystals, no explanation is necessary.  It is, like healing, one of life's intangibles, and it seems you either love crystals or are not touched by their visual or metaphysical beauty at all.

I found when my client's occasionally felt the effects of their healing session quite strongly and experienced a slight sense of spaciness when first getting down from the treatment bed, a piece of Hematite held in the hand would very quickly stabilise and ground them.It soon became quite apparent  to me also that a piece of this particular crystal placed strategically during the healing session helped to prevent that spaciness being felt at all.

I  discovered that Blue Lace Agate, a crystal associated with the throat area has wonderful soothing and clearing properties,and that Amethyst is also an extremely peaceful stone.

Selenite can be decidedly helpful when a back problem presents itself, as it is a stone of alignment, although it does not simply have a tendency to ease the back problems which are probably caused by something being slightly out of alignment, it is at the same time realigning our whole energy system and bringing us into harmony with a higher lighter sense of being.

Smoky Quartz is superbly grounding stone, but its wonder for me is its ability to absorb negative energy from our system, and the fact that as more than one client has reported, holding or sitting with a piece when feeling down or grumpy can lift the mood in quite a short space of time.

The image below is of an Amethyst bed I have in the garden at home - it gives out such a peaceful vibrational ambience and the flowers in its vicinity are thriving!

I could go on at far greater length about how I have discovered through experience that crystals can have a wonderfully healing effect, but there is no greater way to find out than to have a crystal healing session. Anyone who attends for a crystal healing session expecting fireworks and electric sparks may be disappointed. Crystals are a part of the planet that we live on and they work naturally and in a subtle way.  However, there are also times when I get feedback from clients indicating a significant and noticeable effect from having a crystal healing session.
