Pro Tips To Perform Your Own Crystal Healing Session
Restore Your Energy
Part of our spiritual journey is to learn how to find energetic alignment between our minds, hearts, bodies, and spirit. Periods of awakening happen as we work to find a balance between ourselves and the world around us. For some, this can be more challenging than others due to the way we were raised, our belief systems, and external environmental factors.
Humans are sensitive to environmental energy where things such as having a bad day, getting into a fight, or getting cut off in traffic can lower your vibrational frequency. Empaths in particular are super sensors meaning that they have a heightened level of awareness and not only sense environmental energy but can take on the energetic states of other people. If left in a “low vibe” state for too long, people can develop mental and even physical ailments that need deep healing that often requires more than what western medicine can prescribe.
Energetic Healing
This is why so many people have turned to energetic healing. Energy healing can span across anything this earth has to offer, including source energy or Reiki healing, aromatherapy, sound baths, and my personal favorite, crystal healing. These techniques offer healing on a deep emotional and spiritual level that can increase your vibrational state and therefore impact our physical wellbeing. The most intense healing occurs when you are able to show up as your authentic self each day and spend your time doing activities that create a steady high vibrational flow of energy.
Crystal Healing
Crystals are one amazing way that you can increase your vibration and bring the energy centers or chakras in your body back in balance. Chakras are specific points that help regulate and disperse energy throughout our bodies. These energy centers are correlated to our major health systems and the energy produced by these bodily functions produce an electromagnetic field or aura around your body. To rebalance the energy in and around your body, you can place crystals directly on your chakras. To learn more about chakras, read this article.
Crystals are molecularly stable stones that vibrate at a very high frequency. They were formed by the earth over thousands, and in many cases, millions of years capturing vital intelligence about the evolution of our world. When you come into contact with crystals, your vibration will increase to match the vibration of each crystal. Each one has its own unique frequency and intelligence which is why certain stones correlate to each chakra.
To conduct your own healing session, you’ll want a set of 7 crystals, one for each chakra. The photo below is an example of the stones you can use to balance your energy. If you don’t have a crystal collection and are looking for a crystal chakra set, you can purchase a my curated Premium 7 Crystal Chakra Healing kit in the shop. Once you have your crystals gathered, you are going to want to create a relaxing and comfortable setting where you can go into a meditative state for at least 5 minutes. If you are new to meditation in general, start with 5 minutes until you can work your way up to 20 minutes. Remember that this is a healing practice, not a race, so if it doesn’t feel good to you, modify the directions so they suit you.
DIRECTIONS:
Turn on relaxing music, lie down, put a bolster or pillow under your knees and get comfortable.
Place one crystal on each chakra starting at your Root Chakra and working your way up to your Crown Chakra as illustrated in the image.
Say your intention out loud. For example: "My energy is in flow; aligning my heart, mind, body, and spirit."
Leave crystals on for anywhere from 5-20 minutes or until your intuition guides you to stop.
Remove crystals starting from the Crown Chakra working your way down the body.
Write down any visuals, sensations, or feelings that came up during your healing session. If nothing came up, that is normal too.
During the session, you may feel intense energy coming from the crystals and it’s common to release emotions through crying. You do not need to stop your session; it is your body processing energy. It is helpful to take deep breaths until emotions pass.
It is also normal not to feel any sensations when working with crystals. Your experience will be different from session to session and you may find that your energy sensitivity to crystals increases over time. It’s fun to take notes from your sessions and keep track of your progress.
After Session Care
Once your healing session is complete, make sure that you drink lots of water to ground your energy and release any remaining toxins in your body. If you still feel “blissed out” from your session, grab a centering crystal such as Black Tourmaline to gently integrate back into your environment.
This is a wonderful practice to do during the week of a New Moon. If you can, get on a monthly schedule to keep your energy at a high vibrational state.
