How to Use and Make Healing Crystal Remedies
Some ancient cultures, including Judaic, Greek and Egyptian, may have used energy emitted by crystals. Some people even believe that crystals were the catalyst for moving the huge stone blocks to build the Egyptian pyramids, and others have credited the destruction of Atlantis to the improper use of crystals. Today, modern technology uses crystals to emit energy in clocks, lasers, liquid crystal display screens, transistors, computer chips and many other devices. Holistic practioners use crystals to heal mental, physical and spiritual imbalances in people. The theory behind crystal healing is that each crystal emits a vibrational energy that resonates with the energies of different chakras and their related health issues, said Deedre Diemer, intuitive counselor and author of "The ABC's of Chakra Therapy."

Crystals
Resources to research each crystal's different properties
Water

The first step in crystal healing is to determine the type of crystal needed. Each color crystal has different healing properties and corresponds to a different chakra.

Next, it's important to cleanse and charge the crystals to clear it from all the energy it has collected. Crystals absorb negative energies so they need regular cleaning, otherwise they become overstressed and stop working, said karmic healer and author Judy Hall. She suggested an easy way to do this by holding the crystals under running water for a few minutes, and then putting them out in the sun to recharge.
3
Now the crystal is ready to make a healing remedy. When soaked in water, the water becomes infused with the crystal's healing properties, storing the vibrations and transferring them to the physical body, said karmic healer and author Judy Hall. One way to do this is by adding a crystal to bath water. Crystal therapist Karen Ryan suggested using rose quartz for love and relaxation, sodalite to ease the mind, lepidolite for stress relief, chrysocolla for emotional mood swings, smokey quartz for dissolving anger, and tiger's eye for mental clarity.

For a room spray that will refresh stale energies or dispel negative energy, Ryan said to place a few crystals such as clear quartz, rose quartz and/or amethyst in a clear jar and fill with spring water. Place the jar in the sun for 4 to 7 hours, so the crystals' properties would infuse the water. Then remove the crystals and transfer to an atomizer and spray the entire house. Use all the water within a few hours because the potency decreases over time.

Another remedy is drinking crystal-infused water. Place a crystal in a glass, fill with spring water, and set it in the sun for at least 6 hours. Because the human body is nearly 70 percent water, the more structured our body's water becomes, the more it can act as an effective semiconductor for life force energy, according to the book "Healing with Crystals" by Jonathan Pawlick and Pamela Chase. Make sure to do thorough research on the crystals used before ingesting to make sure they are not toxic or water-soluble.
Tips & Warnings
White or clear stones like clear quartz stimulate the crown chakra to increase a sense of well-being, and improve self-esteem and communication. They also help to relieve mental angst and depression.
Purple stones like amethyst stimulate the brow, or third eye, chakra, and ease pain, irritation and stress, which help to boost mental awareness and concentration.
The throat chakra is aroused by blue stones like lapis lazuli and azurite. They alleviate ear, nose and throat conditions, and aid glandular and oral conditions.
Green and pink stones like rose quartz and jade can be used to invigorate the heart chakra, and ease heart and chest conditions, and treat emotional issues.
The solar plexus chakra is stimulated by yellow crystals like agate and light citrine, which aid in digestion and lessen food allergies, liver problems and muscle cramps.
The sex chakra is activated by orange stones like tiger's eye and carnelian to help increase energy, ease kidney problems and dispel inhibitions.
Red and black crystals like obsidian and garnet ignite the root chakra. They can help improve fertility and sex drive, ease menstrual problems, blood disorders, frigidity and inhibition, and increase courage.
Some stones, such as malachite, sulphur, galena and vanadinite, are toxic and remedies from these stones need to be made by an indirect method by putting the stone into a bowl that stands within a bowl of spring water in sunlight that transfers the vibrations without transferring any of the toxic material from which the stone is formed. If in doubt, make the remedy by the indirect method, which is also suitable for fragile or layered stones.
