Crystal Healing

In this blog I am going to talk about Crystal Healing.

After I trained to be a healer, I was introduced to crystals.  Like the healing, I found them very powerful and started to experiment using crystals in self-healing.  I was astounded with the results and went on to study this more.I started doing Crystal Healing with my clients and they noticed how good it made them feel.

After doing this for several years, I looked into how I would go about writing and teaching a Crystal Healing Diploma, being from a teaching background.The Complementary Medical Association (CMA) and Holistic Insurance both approved the course and so I started teaching the diploma course in 2008.

I am about to start a new intake of students for the course on Monday 11th February so I thought I would tell you a bit about my Crystal Healing diploma course.

This crystal healing combines the benefits of healing and the therapeutic properties of crystals chosen to suit your needs.

Healing energy balances the whole person - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

It induces deep relaxation which kick starts your own self healing mechanism.  You do not have to be ill to receive crystal healing.  Often people come to experience the relaxation and revitalisation which healing brings.

The Cosmic Moment and the Fourth Crystal

In previous blogs I have talked about three of the four crystals (Calcite, Selenite & Kyanite) recommended to help us prepare for the cosmic moment on 21st December 2012 (and beyond!)

In this blog we will look at another crystal Hematite which will help bring Spirit into the bloodstream (whereas Selenite brings Spirit into the physical body).  This allows Spirit to become part of the genetic coding of each cell, thus establishing a blueprint of a purer and more vitalised energy within each individual so positive patterns replace old ones.

Hematite is very grounding and is the main crystal to activate the Earth Star chakra.

Hematite also has many other qualities, some of which I have summarised below:-

Hematite is from the Greek word “haematites” which means “blood-like”.  It was known as “bloodstone” during the middle ages.  The Egyptians used Hematite to staunch the flow of blood from wounds and for the formation of blood cells.

Hematite ranges in colour from grey to black with a shiny lustre.  Unpolished, Hematite has red tones.

Being traditionally associated with the blood, Hematite can benefit blood disorders.

Hematite is used to treat anaemia (as it is composed of 70% iron itself), especially when there is a lack of vitality.

Hematite improves the quality of the red blood cells

Hematite makes for better usage of iron in the diet.

Hematite has the ability to reduce blood pressure.

Hematite aids circulatory problems and is especially useful for treating Reynaud’s Disease.

It is recommended for use during childbirth, partly to prevent excessive bleeding and partly to keep everyone calm, due to it’s calming effect on the nerves.

It is said to be the “stone of the mind” as it helps one to sort out things in ones mind.  It is also useful for mental attunement.

Because of Hematite’s affinity with the base chakra, it is particularly good grounding crystal.  It helps those who feel heady and ungrounded, especially after therapeutic treatments.

As well as drawing negativity from the base chakra, Hematite will prevent you from absorbing the negativity of others.

It strengthens our connection with the earth, making us feel safe and secure.

Hematite is a calming stone that helps to soothe the nerves and is useful for alleviating stress and anxiety.

Hematite prevents negative energy from entering the aura.

Hematite gives us courage, strength, endurance and vitality.

Hematite has the ability to help you “keep your cool” – mentally as well as physically.  So place it on the forehead to reduce a fever or on any painful and inflamed area of the body to cool them.

Hematite is beneficial for arthritis sufferers due to the benefits above.

Hematite is beneficial forgetting rid of leg cramps.

Hematite is useful for muscular-skeletal conditions.

Placing Hematite on the base of the spine or on an area if misalignment is said to help adjust the vertebrae.

It assists the healing of fractures


Hematite is a good kidney cleanser.

Hematite is beneficial for insomnia sufferers.

Hematite harmonises the body, mind and spirit.

Hematite has a strong yang element, redressing yin imbalances.  It also balances the meridians

Hematite is beneficial for legal situations.

Psychologically, Hematite gives strength.  It boosts self-esteem and imparts confidence.

Hematite is especially beneficial for timid women.

Hematite boosts willpower.  Especially useful for those who over-eat, smoke or generally over-indulge and want to do something about it.

Hematite helps you come to terms with your mistakes and to accept them as learning experiences rather than disasters.



Mentally, Hematite stimulates concentration and focus.  It enhances memory and original thought.

Hematite is especially useful for the study of mathematical and technical subjects.

It brings the mind’s attention to basic survival needs and helps to sort out problems of all kind.

Hematite is conducive to enabling one to entering into a loving relationship and is said to attract “kind” love.

I find Hematite a great crystal for grounding, concentration and confidence and one I enjoy working with. I hope you enjoy it too!

The Cosmic Moment

I hope you are able to take time and still your mind at 11.11am on 21st December.  If you can, sit quietly with some Hematite, Kyanite, Selenite and Calcite.

Ask Archangel Metatron to bring his golden light down to you and Archangel Sandalphon to bring silver light up from below.

I wish you a magical Cosmic Moment and much love, light and enlightenment.

Another Crystal for the Cosmic Moment

The Cosmic Moment on 21st December 2012 is fast approaching. In preparation for this date I have been planning events for the coming week to prepare for this special spiritual occasion.  I feel that the New Forest is the right spiritual place to hold these events at, so I will be running the following events from my home in Brockenhurst.


Firstly, on Thursday 6th December I will be holding a Crystal Meditation Group (this is a change of date from Thursday 13th December).  We will be studying and meditating with Calcite, one of the crystals that helps us to prepare for the Cosmic Moment.  This will start at 10.30am at costs £10.  The price includes a piece of Calcite and notes on Calcite.

Secondly, I will be holding a meditation for the 12.12.12 energy on Wednesday 12th December in preparation for the Cosmic Moment.  This will start at 11.30am and costs £10 (which includes refreshments and a crystal).

Then on Friday 21st December, the Cosmic Moment, I will be holding a meditation to welcome the moment we have waited 260,000 years for!   This will start at 10.30am so we are ready for 11.11am.  The costs is £10 (which includes refreshments and a crystal).

Please contact me via "comments" at the bottom of this page for more details of these events.


In previous blogs I have talked about two of the four crystals (Calcite and Selenite) recommended to help us prepare for the cosmic moment on 21st December 2012 (and beyond!)

In this blog we will look at another crystal Kyanite which will help to open and clear the energy pathways of our bodies, chakras and meridians.

Kyanite helps us to reconnect our energy with the causal chakra (just above the crown chakra).  Kyanite gives off a very gentle energy and when we are ready, it will help us make the connection with it.

In Atlantean times, Kyanite was used to address imbalances in the brain of newly incarnated souls.
In preparation for the cosmic moment, Kyantite will help to re-align your mind and brain for the higher energy

Kyaniote can also be used to help indigo and crystal children who are incarnating to help the planet move forward.

Kyanite also has many other qualities, some of which I have summarised below:-

• Kyanite is also known as Disthene.  The word Kyanite comes from the Greek word kyanos meaning ‘blue’.
• It is usually flat and bladed.  It often occurs in quartz veins.  It is crystallises in the form of twisted or straight fibrous structures
• It can be blue-white, pink, green, yellow, grey or black in colour.  It is often unevenly coloured and can be translucent or pearly.
• Kyanite is found in Brazil.
• Kyanite never needs cleaning or clearing as it does not accumulate or retain negative energy or vibrations.
• Kyanite is a powerful transmitter and amplifier of high frequency energies.  It stimulates psychic abilities and intuition.
• Kyanite is excellent for attunement as the energy is unlimited in application.
• It is an excellent stone for meditation.  The calming and clearing effect of Kyanite’s energy is accessible, gentle and balanced.
• Kyanite helps spiritual energy to manifest in thought.
• It is also a good crystal for connecting with guides.
• Kyanite grounds spiritual vibrations, it brings spiritual integrity and maturation.
• It facilitates dream recall and promotes healing dreams.
• Kyanite is useful for those making the transition through death.
• Kyanite aligns all the chakras, instantly and immediately, with no conscious direction. 
• If directed with the consciousness of the user, it can also open the chakras.
• Conscious direction of the energy can also align the emotional, intellectual, physical, spiritual, ethereal, and astral bodies of the aura.
• Kyanite clears the pathways to the meridians.
• It restores Qi or Chi (life force energy) to the physical body and its organs.
• In healing, it stabilises the biomagnetic field (the energy field that surrounds all living things) after clearing and transformation.
• Psychologically, Kyanite encourages speaking ones own truth, cutting through fears and blockages.  
• Opening the throat chakra, this stone encourages self-expression and communication.
• Kyanite cuts through ignorance and opens to spiritual and psychological truth.
• Kyanite slices through confusion and dispels blockages, illusion, anger, frustration and stress.
• It increases the capacity for logical and linear thought, stimulating the higher mind.  
• Spiritually, Kyanite shows how the ‘self’ plays a part in creating causes and measures required to balance the past.
• It benefits the light body (the vehicle for the soul and higher consciousness, which vibrates at a high frequency).
• Kyanite brings tranquillity and a calming effect to the whole being, especially the throat and third eye.
• Kyanite treats muscular disorders and disorders of the urogenital system.  
• It also works on the adrenals, throat, ears, thyroid and parathyroid.
• It supports the brain, cerebellum and motor responses of the body.
• It is a natural pain reliever.
• It lowers blood pressure and heals infections.
• It releases excess weight (by encouraging communication, thereby releasing stored words and unwanted body weight).
• It is useful for the sickroom and for the terminally ill.
• It balances yin-yang energy.
• It reduces fevers and calms hot conditions where there is too much heat in the body.
• Kyanite eases stiff necks and stiff-necked attitudes.

In addition, the following colours have the following additional properties:-

Blue Kyanite Strengthens the voice and heals the throat and the larynx.  It is useful for performers and public speakers.

Black Kyanite  Grounds the body when aligning the chakras and during or after meditation.


Using Kyanite

Position between the navel and heart chakra.

Position on the causal chakra (just above the crown chakra)

Wear as a pendant.

A pendulum of Kyanite can point out problems.

Kyanite is especially beneficial when used with other crystals during crystal healing.

I find Kyanite a great crystal for healing and calming the mind and one I enjoy working with.
I hope you enjoy it too!

Preparing for the Cosmic Moment - with Crystals

In my first blog “The Times they are a Changing” I talked about the crystal Calcite that can help us work through changing times.

As 2012 speeds along, we are getting nearer to 21st December 2012.  This is the second of two cosmic moments (the first was on 11th November 2011 and I held a meditation session to embrace this moment) and it is said to be the greatest opportunity for spiritual growth that there has ever been.

The twelve spiritual chakras of the planet will open and this will profoundly affect everyone.  

It was no coincidence that the Olympic Games was held in London as London is the spiritual Earth Star Chakra of planet earth.  The energy and enthusiasm that the Olympics generated greatly helped the planets Earth Star chakra to bring  in great light in preparation for the cosmic event.  The rain prior to the Olympics helped to wash away negativity from the Earth Star Chakra and was a necessary process.  (I wonder if the current rainy weather is also a necessary cleansing process?) 

Diana Cooper’s website has more information about this and can be found at http://www.dianacooper.com/2012/index.php

In this blog  I will touch on the four crystals that Diana Cooper recommends us to work with to help us prepare for the changes  for 21st December 2012.  They are  Calcite, Selenite, Hematite and Kyanite.

Calcite (any colour) will help to open your Stellar Gateway chakra (this is approximately 30cm or 12” above the top of your head and is thought to be your link with Source).

I will not go into further details of Calcite’s properties as this can be read in my first blog of July 2011 at http://julie-bodyinbalance.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/in-this-my-first-blog-i-am-going-to.html

I will however look at another recommended crystal, Selenite in this blog at look at the two other recommended crystals in future blogs.

Selenite is a beautiful crystal with a high vibration and works with and activates your Soul Star chakra.  This chakra is the link between the Stella Gateway and the Causual and Crown chakras.   Its purpose is to take the pure energy of the Stella Gateway and filter it into the soul level of spiritually–attuned people. For the Soul Star Chakra to activated, the Earth Star chakra must also be in balance.

  

Selenite can show us how to bring divine laws and spiritual principles into our everyday lives and will help us prepare for 21st December 2012 and beyond! 

Selenite also has many other qualities, some of which I have summarised below:-

• Selenite is a very powerful crystal.
• Selenite is a calm stone that instils a deep peace.
• Selenite prevents anything external from influencing the mind and promotes clarity of the mind.
• It expands ones awareness of the self and ones surroundings.
• Selenite is excellent for meditation or spiritual work.
• Selenite assists judgement and insight.
• Selenite is a powerful disperser and stabiliser of erratic emotions 
• Mentally, Selenite clears confusion and aids seeing the deeper picture.  It brings about an understanding of what has occurred at a subconscious level.
• Selenite works deep and rids a person of heaviness of time.
• Selenite helps to align the spinal column and promotes flexibility.
• Selenite reverses the effects of “free radicals”.
• Selenite neutralises mercury poisoning from dental amalgam.
• Selenite has the power to stimulate cellular regeneration and may even increase one’s life span.
• Translucent Selenite helps to access the angelic consciousness and higher guidance.
• Placing a large piece of Selenite in the house ensures a peaceful atmosphere.
• Selenite wands can be used to detach unwanted “items” from the aura.
• Selenite pinpoints lessons and issues that are still being worked upon and shows how they can be best resolved.
• Selenite can be used to see into the future or ascertain what happened in the past.

Using Selenite

Hold Selenite for the greatest benefit.

Selenite can be used to form a protective grid around a house, creating a safe and quiet space that does not allow outside influences in.  Place a piece of Selenite in each internal corner of the house.

Note

Selenite dissolves when wet.

I find Selenite a very peaceful and calming crystal and one I enjoy working with.  Just holding a piece of Selenite brings peace and meditating with it often brings great clarity.

I hope you enjoy it too!

I am running a workshop about how to work with and activate the Twelve Chakras.  Please contact me via the comments page for more details.

Meditation

The word meditation often conjures up images of people sitting crossed legged on the floor, perhaps even chanting and to some people this is how they find they meditate best.

There are however, many different meditation methods.To me, meditation is a mixture of breathing techniques, visualisation  and quiet time that induce a deep relaxation that benefits body and mind.

Meditation is a great way to take time out from our busy lives and give our bodies time to relax. Relaxation has a beneficial effect on our state of health and our physical body reaps the benefit.

Many people find it hard to “switch off” from our busy lives.  There is always something to think about – the shopping list going through our minds or the 101 jobs we still have to do.  Hence some of the focus of my initial meditation work is often on visualisation and breathing techniques, because until we can relax our bodies and still our minds inner growth will be limited.

As someone who is not too keen on strenuous exercise, I was very pleased to read an article by Dr Herbert Benson, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.  He is convinced that quiet inactivity such as relaxation and meditation are just as important to long-term health as exercise.  To me, I would much prefer meditating than pounding on a treadmill at the gym!

As well as calming your mind, meditation helps to:-

• lower blood pressure
• lower heart rate 
• balance metabolic rate
• slows down breathing rate
• positively affects hormone levels 
• relaxes tense muscles
• reduces pain levels
• stimulate the body’s self-healing mechanisms
• improve digestion 
• boost the immune system

I personally have had some tremendous experiences whilst meditating, including coming up with my business idea of Body in Balance – even the name came to me whilst meditating!  Often meditations to use with my clients come to me whilst I am meditating.  The idea for my CALM CD came to me whilst I was meditating in the bath!

I started running meditation/relaxation classes in 2003.  I was given the opportunity to run these from a Physiotherapy Centre.  The owner rightly believed that meditation and relaxation would benefit her patients and reduce their pain levels.

Mediation is suitable for all ages. Children especially benefit from the improvement in concentration, focus and the health benefits that meditation can bring.

Using Crystals for Meditation

Any crystals that you are drawn to can help to enhance the meditation experience.  However, those mentioned below have an affinity or a specific role.

Cleanse crystals before use and programme them by asking them to help you in some way e.g. stilling your mind, enhancing your meditation. (See http://www.bodyinbalance.org.uk/choose.htm for more details).

Below lists some crystals and what they can help with.  This is not an exhaustive list  - go with what you are drawn to  :-

Meditation

• Amethyst
• Ametrine
• Angelite
• Clear Quartz
• Chrysoprase
• Fluorite
• Jasper
• Kyanite
• Lapis Lazuli
• Obsidian
• Snowflake Obsidian
• Serpentine
• Smoky Quartz
• Turquoise    

Mental stillness

• Aquamarine
• Carnelian
• Howlite
• Quartz
• Smoky Quartz
• Selenite

Mantra-based Meditation

• Rhodonite  

A Meditation for you to try

Choose a crystal that you are drawn to and hold it in your hand (or choose two and hold one each hand).  Cleanse and programme before use  (See http://www.bodyinbalance.org.uk/choose.htm for more details).

Get yourself comfortable (either sitting, lying down, or whatever is comfortable for you) and take some long, slow deep breaths.  When your breathing is calm so is your body and mind.

Visualise yourself surrounded in a protective bubble and feel your feet firmly on the floor

Become aware of the crystal(s) in your hand(s).

Visualise the crystal(s) growing in size until it becomes the size of a small cave that you can get inside and be surrounded by the energy of the crystal(s)

Let this energy engulf your whole being and let it calm your mind.

Let this energy filter in to your thoughts and be guided to whatever you are drawn to think about.

Don't worry if this is everyday thoughts as you may be given the answer to a problem.

Likewise, it may just clear your mind and allow you to enjoy the stillness.

Just go with the flow of whatever you get.

Enjoy these moments of peace and relaxation.

Then in your own time, just allow your focus to bring you back in to your environment.

With your feet firmly on the ground ready to face your life again.

The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large.

Happy meditating!

Christmas Crystals

This time of year can be a stressful time for many.  Preparing for Christmas, buying presents, writing cards, shopping for food all take time and energy.


It is often a time when there are many bugs and viruses going round, so if you are busy it is possible  that  your immune system may also be low and therefore you may well be more susceptible to the bugs and viruses.


This blog will focus on three crystals that are both stress relievers and immune boosters :-


Amethyst

Crystal Elixirs -The Elixir of Life?

The "elixir of life" is a legendary potion, or drink, that grants the drinker eternal life or eternal youth. Many practitioners of alchemy pursued it. The elixir of life was also said to be able to create life.


This blog is going to look at one of my favourite self-help remedies - Crystal Elixirs

A crystal elixir is simply made by putting crystals in  contact with water whereby the healing properties of the crystals are absorbed into the water.  The water is then drunk and the crystal properties go directly into the body.


I have used crystal elixirs daily for several year now and I can't recommend the highly enough.


I believe that not only does it benefit my physical body, but it also work on my sense of well-being.  My beloved house-rabbit also enjoys his "crystal water" as we call it,  and as he is approaching 9 years old , is a testimony to its powers and the benefits of drinking crystal elixirs.


To make a simple crystal Elixir you will need:-

• A few crystals - just look at some crystals and instinctively choose a few that catch your attention. You do not need to know the properties of the crystals, whatever you choose will be of benefit to you 

• A bottle of water - I prefer to use a glass bottle.  Spring water is nice to use, but tap water can be used (and you will probably find that the elixir improves the taste of the tap water).  If you are re-using a bottle, make sure that the bottle is thoroughly washed  with hot, soapy water and thoroughly dried every time you refill them, to prevent bacteria from growing. Or you could sterilise a bottle.

• A clear glass bowl

(See http://info.cancerresearchuk.org/healthyliving/cancercontroversies/Plasticbottles/ for information about re-using bottles)

Method

1. Choose your crystals - just let a few crystals catch your eye!  This can be from one crystal to twenty-one crystals!
2. Wash your crystals under running water and visualise any negativity leaving the crystals.  (This is also know as cleansing.)
3. Place the crystals in the base of a clear glass bowl. 
4. Ask your crystals to help you in some way (also know as programming).  You can ask them to help you with physical health problems or for any help you need in your life. 
5. Stand a bottle of water on and around the crystals so they are touching as much of the bottle as possible.
6. Place on a windowsill in sunlight or moonlight for at least a couple of hours to allow the crystal energies to be absorbed by the water.
7. Drink and enjoy!
8. Wash, dry and then refill the bottle so it is ready for drinking again.

Every so often (when you are drawn to) you may wish to see if any other crystals are grabbing your attention to be used in your elixir or if any others need taking out - just use your intuition.  If this is the case, wash (cleanse) the crystals again and do this any time you are drawn to.


The elixir water can also be used in a spray bottle to spray in and around a room.  

Elixir sprays are great to use with animals. You can either mist the elixir in their environment, around their bed etc.  

If you would like to know more about making and using crystal elixirs, I regularly run 
Crystal Elixir Workshops :-

Crystal Elixirs are a great way of harnessing the energy of crystals and using them easily in your everyday life for health & wellbeing.

During this workshop you will learn about the health-giving benefits of crystals of making a Crystal Elixir


The workshop will consist of:-
· Making  crystal elixirs
· Choosing the appropriate crystals
· Using elixirs 
· Meditation to see which crystals to use in your elixir
· You will also make (and take home) a crystal elixir 
Date TBA
Time 10.30am-3pm
Cost  - please contact for details    Price includes a handout and light refreshments        
Venue Brockenhurst, Hampshire< England

It may also be possible to take this workshop as a home study course that carries Continuing Professional Development (CPD) or even earn CDP points by attending. 

Please contact me via my website or the comments section at the bottom of this Blog for more details. Comments are emailed to me (and they don't have to be posted on the blog if you don't want them to be)!
