Crystal Healing with Reiki
Unlocking the Power of Crystal Healing with Reiki: A Journey into Energy Healing
By Dennis Bluthardt, Namaste Studios
The community that engages in alternative medicine has made healing through energy a buzzword. It is offered as a solution, a holistic, all-encompassing path toward wellness. What is energy healing? It is not one thing. Numerous practices and beliefs have come from different cultures and historical moments. Two practices often associated with energy healing are crystal healing and Reiki. Both are based on the premise that “our bodies are energy systems. “They also operate on the commonsense principle that you’re more likely to get sick when you do something (or don’t do something) to mess with those energies. It is akin to tossing your body’s energies out of balance by not providing it with the kind of nourishing food it requires or supplying it with more detrimental than beneficial substances.
Crystal healing
The frequencies emitted by crystals for healing are used to form. Their emissions are what make them useful in a healing context. Crystals in a healing arrangement, such as a grid, have even more effect because of the coherent field they create. Crystals aren’t just beautiful rocks; each has a distinct vibrational resonance, and when you put them in the right place in your energy field, they can influence how your body (and the energy that dynamically flows through it) behaves.
When energy heals, it’s better when it’s balanced and flowing freely. Sure, that happens when you get a massage (or some other bodywork modality that somehow operates in perpendicular dimensions), but this is next-level energy work.
Crystal healing is considered energy medicine and may work through the exact mechanisms of acupuncture, acupressure, and similar therapies. Practitioners work to restore balance in your body’s energy field (also called the aura).
Reiki: Reiki is an age-old healing art that comes from Japan. Practitioners of this method direct energy into the body of the individual receiving treatment. This form of energy medicine channels energy using the hands, which are placed in several positions. Hands may remain in direct contact with the body of the person receiving treatment or may hover just above it. The energy used in this is the same as that used in other forms of treatment, such as acupuncture. This technique can help relax a person and substantially lessen the sensation of physical pain or emotional distress.
Understanding Crystal Healing
Healing with crystals is the practice of utilizing crystals to promote healing. It has been around as long, if not longer, than astrology. Just like astrology, the practice of using crystals to heal can be found in several different faiths, including Paganism and Wicca. This casting form is eco-friendly (using the earth around the witch), versatile, and can be learned.
Therefore, the different “spells” that one can cast are called “grids.” The various kinds of grids serve one of these purposes:
Self-understanding and self-discovery.
Spiritual development and growth.
To help guide you through a difficult situation.
To aid with concentration and self-focus.
To help promote self-confidence.
The Basics of Reiki
Coming from the Japanese words “Rei” (universal) and “Ki” (also known as life energy), this practice enacts the reunion and flow of this divine energy so that the energy can do its healing work.
According to some Reiki practitioners, the cause of all disease, depression, and imbalances within the body can be traced back to a blockage or interference of this divine force energy. Therefore, we can restore balance in the body by working to clear and re-channel this energy back into the body, mind, and spirit.
During a Reiki session, a practitioner (the trained conduit) will work to place their hands on or around the physical body lightly. This energy knows which areas need healing despite what some people might believe. It’s so moved that it allows the energy to go where it needs to.
Much like a massage, this experience is incredibly soothing and relaxing. It is very common to feel heat, warmth, or even tingling sensations while having Reiki performed.
The Synergy of Crystal Healing and Reiki
Reiki and crystal healing are incredible, potent modalities that complement one another perfectly to boost your energy healing practice. Reiki, the Japanese stress reduction and relaxation technique, uses an unseen life force energy that flows through all of us to enable a hand-healing experience. Crystal healing uses remarkable rocks (or crystals) that vibrate with the energy we have within us to balance and align the centers of energy located within our bodies (chakras). As a practitioner of Reiki and/or crystal healing, practicing these two crafts allows me to open and connect to an amazing healing energy within rocks and crystals. My work with stones and crystals during my Reiki sessions takes the session’s energy up a notch and sends it through the client’s body while receiving the Reiki so that the healing can penetrate even more profoundly.
Individuals who perform Reiki and energy healing with crystals focus on the “middle line” that aligns the biggest chakras: root chakra, depleted lower chakra, depleted upper chakra, rotated heart chakra, rotated throat chakra, rotated third-eye chakra, and crown chakra. Each of these chakras correlates with a crystal that may be laid over it to clear confusion, close chakras that are too far open, and spin chakras that are shut down from trauma.
How to Get Started with Crystal Healing and Reiki
Finding a Reiki practitioner familiar with crystal healing could take your energy to the next level.
Research those in your local area, found on sites like Thumbtack, Yelp, or even the community board at your local shop. Look for testimonials that point to their Reiki and crystal healing proficiency, or consider a consultation visit to talk with them.
DIY with crystals: Start with a seated meditation in a quiet space. Deep, slow breaths are great for concentration/focus.
DIY crystal healing and Reiki: everyone from Britney Spears to The New York Times is talking about meditation. You must have heard about the benefits: reduced stress and anxiety, increased focus and concentration, self-realization, and spirituality. Start here, in a quiet place.
Breathe. I. That’s it. If you do only that for starters, you’re way ahead. And since you’re a multitasker and want the best results possible, crystals should be nearby.
Taking the energy modality of Reiki, which channels universal life force energy for healing, and combining it with the premise that crystals have specific vibrational frequencies that can interact with the human energy field creates a template for healing that can be both effective and easily personalized. Some people get an amethyst crystal and think, Great; now I have a crystal for spiritual growth. Then, they set the stone aside and never think about it again. This would be a lot like receiving a gift card from a friend and setting it on a shelf to collect dust. You need to use it! Crystals, by their very nature, interact with the energy around them, including human energy.
