Healing With Crystals and Reiki
Reiki healing uses crystals to help stimulate the energy in the body and to speed up the healing process. In Reiki, crystals are laid out on the client’s body. The layout is based on the seven colors and their corresponding chakras.
Laying the Stones On
This is done to release the mental, emotional and spiritual blocks to a person’s state of well being. If the client feels uncomfortable when a crystal used for healing is laid on their body, then it is moved to another position or removed.
Balancing the Chakra
A simple way to balance the chakra in your body is to place an appropriate stone on the chakra on your body. This gives the chakra a boost. Healers believe that the connection between the chakra and the stones will heal the body from its inflictions. Just by placing a stone on the seven important chakras, you can strengthen your whole system.
The Chakra Layout
A red stone is always placed at the base of the spine. Sometimes, Reiki healers opt to put two similar red stones at the top of each leg. This is for the base chakra.
The lower abdomen or the sacral chakra must have a stone which is orange.
On the solar plexus or stomach, a yellow stone is ideal. It is placed between the ribcage and the navel. If there is a gathering of tension in this region, stones which shift energy – like tiger’s eye and quartz – can be used to create an energy release.
A green stone can be used for the central or chest region to balance out the heart chakra. Pink stones can be used for emotional cleansing.
Light blue stones are good for the throat chakra. They are placed at the bottom of the throat and at the tip of the breastbone.
Dark blue stones or indigo stones are used on the forehead. Amethyst or other purple stones can also be used.
The crown chakra requires a stone to be placed slightly above the crown of the head. If you’ve selected amethyst for the forehead, clear quartz would be ideal for the crown. But if you used a dark blue stone on your forehead, a purple stone is preferable for the crown.
