Why do Crystals & Gemstones have power? There are many

theories but one of the most popular is that all crystals have

the capacity to absorb energies, emotions & knowledge. The

variety in their composition means that each type absorbs

different powers & these powers are then naturally imparted to

the user or wearer.

How do you use Crystals & Gemstones? Firstly it is very

important to cleanse your newly acquired crystal or gemstone

even if you found it. This is basically to remove any influences

from anyone else who has handled the stone. There is no right

or wrong way to cleanse your stone & its best to experiment

with different methods until you find one that is right for you.

To cleanse your stones wash each stone separately. If you plan

to leave them to soak then use a separate container of water

for each stone & please be sure to use clean water for each

stone. This may seem obvious to some but you'd be surprised

how many people acquire several stones at once & just put

them all to soak together in a single container. It's also

important to use a natural container not one made of plastic!

You may then wish to recharge your stone and this involves

using the power of the earth, sun & moon. I rinse my stones

under running tap water then bury them in some earth, (a

plant pot will do) for at least a day, so that they may receive

earth energies. I then soak them overnight in tap water with a

sprinkle of sea salt followed by placing them outside in

sunlight so that they may get re-charged or re-energised by

the sun. EVERY full moon I place my stones outside so that

they may also receive energy from the moon. Obviously, if I've

acquired a new stone & the next full moon is a long way off,

they don't get placed outside for moon energies immediately.

It is then important to personalise your stone & get to know it.

Take the time to hold each stone and feel it with your hands

so that you may become attuned with it.

Should you share your Crystals & Gemstones? Many people do

not allow anyone else to touch or handle their stones and I too

have some some "special" stones that only I touch. However, I

have a large wooden bowl on my coffee table and it always

attracts attention from visitors who are often drawn to picking

up a stone and rolling it in their hand, like a stress ball. I don't

have a problem with this as I like to think that they may "need"

something form whatever stone they've chosen.

have a problem with this as I like to think that they may "need"

something form whatever stone they've subconsciously

chosen. My children are also constantly "playing" with my

stones and sometimes ask to take a certain stone to bed with

them. This is why I periodically repeat the cleansing process

and recharge my stones. Having said that, it is important that

you treat your stones with respect, care and consideration.

Tumblestones and smaller pieces are great for carrying with

you each day or make excellent gifts for friends and loved

ones. I have a selection of stones that I change and carry

according to my feelings or requirements on a particular day. I

also have several pieces of jewellery containing different

stones and again change these to suit my needs. For example I

may wear a particular stone, or have one close by, whilst

writing my E-Books but if I'm planning a romantic evening

with my husband then I'll be sure to change the stones later in

the evening.

There are numerous ways to use your stones - You can place

them under your pillow or on a bedside cabinet so you can

absorb their influences whilst you sleep. If you have an ailing

plant place some crystals around it or soak a stone in water

overnight and use it to water the plant the following day. Talk

to your stones, carry them with you, get to know them and feel

their energies working for you and then use them however you

feel is most appropriate.

*****Start

Crystal Wands can be used to recharge your whole body. Hold

one in your transmitting hand (left if you're left handed or

right if you're right handed) with the point pointing towards

your fingers. Take the second wand and hold it in your

receiving hand with the point facing towards your wrist. You

now have a complete circuit and after a short while you should

feel a flow of energy passing through your body. You can also

use a pair of male & female stones in the same way.

Healing with stones is something that's been going on for

centuries although there is now an increasing interest in

Crystal healing. Most healers have their own methods and

techniques, which they have developed over a period of time

to suit them. I stress again, there is no right or wrong way to

use crystals and over time you will develop your own rituals

for cleansing and using your crystals.

I also stress again that crystal & gemstone healing cannot

replace medical treatment and you should always consult a

doctor. Crystal & gemstone treatment is a complimentary

therapy and should be used as such - complimentary to any

other medical treatment you may require.
