Gemstone Healing

[Myst]

How have you used gemstones to heal yourself or others? Have you used them to help align your chakras, or just like "laying of hands" but with stones instead? Have you tried that therapy where you have warm stones placed on your back and/or massaged in? Have you even just used a gemstone to access positive energies for healing and concentrated to heal others?

Comments, questions?

[Myst]

Incidentally, it's been mentioned that amethyst is good for healing. Probably good for clearing up that negative energy (like it's good for clearing negative energy off tools you leave on an amethyst bed). It's also a good focusing tool of energy, which is why one of my best friends often gets a headache around it, and why it tips my wand.

Rose quartz is always good for loving, healing energy.

Hematite is said to be good for healing blood problems as well as for grounding.

Stones coordinated by colour to each chakra are said to be good as well.

[Semele]

Not really sure if this falls into this category, but Mol and Dravin have used stones or rocks from our yard to do energy work. They were basically running the stone over the body and absorbing negative energy into the stone. Afterwards they took the stones outside, said a little thank you and smashed the rock with a hammer, sending all the negative energy out to be carried away by the wind....it was really kind of neat. The stones got very hot and they really shattered into dust at the end.

[Myst]

I think so. That's fascinating, I've heard that technique before but never known anyone to apply it and have it work. It closely mirrors the spell of concentrating all your angry energy on a stone (you can scream, yell, cry, let out all your feelings) and then whipping it out into a field or moving water. Very therapeutic; it helps you deal with anger or depression so you can move on.

[mythril]

Amethyst is totaly amazing.

i was doing a session on my mothers back and when i placed the amethyst on here back and started , my hands were boiling and she felt an amazing amount of movement in that area.

I hear that bloodstone is also good for healing, especially the base chakra.:)

[Myst]

I can see that, especially since the "blood" in bloodstone, as well as the colouring.

Amethyst is LOVELY stuff. I have a big chunk of it and a smaller polished stone as well.

[mythril]

Excellent, what stone do you recomend for the crown chakra?

[Myst]

Depends on the usage, IMHO. Generally quartz can be used for cleansing, amethyst for healing. Other stones may be chosen according to intent - ie. using intuition, gaining wisdom, getting rid of a headache, meditating, etc.

[mythril]

I also have a book with a nice technique.

Take a piece of amethyst and go outside in the sun, hold the amethyst above your head and visualize energy going through the amethyst down into your crown chakra right through u and into the ground.

Wonderful for clearing yourself.:)

[Myst]

Good stuff. Good technique. I might try that tomorrow at the fest. Thanks!

Way back when I first started Astrology , and the correspondences, I fell in love with the idea that the gems and stones and minerals and salts could have "like energies" and qualities of the
signs and planets the were associated with , and could be used for astrological healing.
So when you see that amethyst is the stone for .....Aquarius which is ruled by Uranus the planet of a higher mental plane...... and the sixth and seventh Chakras.... it is easy to see how it can be used for healing, and I have been researching alternative healing (what a NICE way to stay quietly and professionally in the closet as well ) for many years.
I love Stones.... being an earth sign I feel them strongly . I wear two large emerald earings for protection and grounding ......, and I try to incorporate other stones in my jewelry for "magical" purposes depending on how I am feeling and what is needed. Lapis is one of my all time favorites, as well ......as is Rose Quartz. I am going to love this thread .... have any of you worked with charging crystal grids ?

[Silver Venus]

At last a thread to discuss my loves! :)
Swan Im an Earth sign too (capricorn) and never realised that we are more attuned to them because of this? Can you tell me more?

The charging crystal grids sound very interesting too ~ I have heard about them but can remember what they are for or how to to work with them.. Please again, can you tell more!

Mythril and Willow ~ Ive been loving your comments! :)
I have a large collection of Crystals scattered around my house, in my yard and mainly on my altar ~ Moonstone, Amythest, Quartz, Rose Quartz, Jade, Bloodstone, Carnelian, Jasper, Onyx, blue, red and noraml Tigers eye.. and a few more...
I mainly use them for layouts for the chakra's and for opening up the back muscles ~ Ive got a really good book with diagrams and picutres that I follow ~ I will bring it with me tomorrow!
I use Amythest mainly! as its great for all cleansing and types of pain.. but I also love the warm, calming loving energy of Rose Quartz, Rodertendrite (spelt wrong I know!) and Tourmaline. & I use Moonstone for my moon time every month ~ its a very femine stone good for everything to do with womens troubles ;)

Heres a site I often use for astrology and crystals! Explore :D

[mythril]

I am going to try meditation using the crystal grid patterns.

I have seen an amazing book on grid patterns, most of them are huge,
i think it will take me years to save up enough money to by all the crystals that are required lol.

[mythril]

Yeah silver, we were just talking about how amazing amethyst is.

ITs probably one of my favorite stones.

[Silver Venus]

I now get what grid paterns are!! Err I have done a few myself :rolleyes: from those books I mentioned ~ i will bring them in tomorrow and scan some pictures up for you all!! Theres a few small ones for your head and base chakra's which would be easy to put together as they dont use so many different and expensive Crystals.

I love Amythest tooooo :D

[mythril]

Please do, that would be wonderful

[SigFire]

Not entirely to do with healing but It is sortof relevant.

Placing a Crystal in front of or ontop of your computer monitor will reduce radiation from the screen.
I find Quartz the best for this.

Pluss Rose Quartz could help bring some love into your office etc.

Besides the fact that Crystals suposedly absorb some of the radiation they are also pleasing to the eye

[mythril]

good point sig

[SigFire]

Why thank You Myth.

[Silver Venus]

Yeah I have a really nice flourite stone, a small rose quartz tumble stone and a Quartz point on my keyboard all lined up at the top above the f9..buttonns ~ right in front of my eyes now! They are so pretty, cheer me up whenever im tired and sick of typing :) and I too believe they help with raditation! and I think they help my computer too ~ cleansing and healign it like me! hmm if only they could fight of those naughty nasty virsus!.. but touch Crystal! i havent had one of those yet!:D :p

As well, remember that your CPU has a crystal at its heart. Crystals placed about your pc/desk can work in conjunction with your CPU. CPU's do get used to the interaction of one person; I had a lover once who's pc I could not use; everytime I did, he'd have to replace the CPU chip ~ my energy and the CPU crytal's energy did not mesh!!
:rolleyes:

Interesting Mairwen, I never really thought about that. Food for thought!!!

I use crystals individually just to carry around for specific healing, or in layouts to clear my chakras and balance them. I have also used them on healing altars when doing distance healing or candle magick/healing. There are so many uses I can't even think of some of them now! hehe

Looking forward to this discussion,

Has anyone heard of Chrysoprase, and knows what it looks like? I had never heard of it before.

[Myst]

On the computer bit..

placing a tiger's eye on your case if you have an internal modem or on the external modem itself is said to help the modem run faster and work better.

[Myst]

Thanks for sharing Silv! :) I keep several stones around too - moonstone, amethyst, quartz, rose quartz, hematite, tigers eye (I think when they are blue or red they're sometimes hawk's eye or cat's eye or some other derivative... no?), citrine, etc. I wear a rainbow moonstone and sterling silver moon pendant all the time now for that feminine energy.

I'm also a capricorn! I think that might have to do with how our sign is so deeply rooted in the earth, and from the earth stones come. Often, as well, gemstones are used to represent earth. Just an idea.

[Mairwen]

Citrine has most of the same properties as Amethyst. Citrine is nothing but Amethyst which has been heated to super-high tempuratures and became "burnt".

Yup. Also the colour of citrine lends itself well to friendship spells and helping a person be joyful. I carry it for help with communicating and dealing with friends :)

[Mairwen]

oooh communication .... Must get new citrines ....

Absolutely!!! I love citrine!!! I often put it under my pillow with Amethyst and several other different stones depending on my problems to help when I have insomnia or some reason I'm not sleeping well. I will also carry/wear it for headaches. I love it, it's such a nice "feeling" stone. But then, I love yellow/gold stones, they have a warm energy to them.

:) Lilu

[Swanspirit]

Wore almost every stone imaginable, and had some beautiful Citrine earings.... that she left me ...... they are very warm almost cuddly LOL....
As to the Earth signs being attuned to stones,,,,I do beleive that is highly likely, as we are OF that element ,as water signs are drawn to water. I dont think it is a coincidence that we adrawn to the stones that are attuned to our signs, but then I dont think there are ANY such things as coincidences either ....., have any you read or used the Love Is In The Earth Series"? by Melody..... so much really good information.
And by Crystal Grids .. I mean a pattern laid out for a specific healing purpose aligned with a compass and aimed at someone for healing .... I did that for my friends husband who has cancer.
You charge the grid with a meditaion....and/or even a ritual, and leave it in place to continue the work :>. It doesnt have to be large , but who has hours of time to sit and do a healing every day ? They are wonderful :> and effective .
Love and light
Swannie
Did I mention my new kitten has Labradorite eyes ?? They are the color of Labradorite .... look and see......

[Lilu]

Has anyone ever worked with Kyanite before? I am feeling quite drawn to it and want to know what experiences people have had with it. It's supposed to be a very spiritual stone with strong energies.

Lilu

[Swanspirit]

Do you consider it a "gemstone" for healing, and if so what is it helpful with ?? that you have personally found.
I find it enormously calming and grounding,
I guess that would be because of the origin , but it is also one of the "warm family" of stones :>
Love and Light
Swannie

[mythril]

sweet kitten Swan :)

I have one of the "love is in the earth books".
The huge one with the metaphysical meanings of almost all known crystals and semiprecious stones.
I love it.

Which one of that series has information on crystal grids?

[Swanspirit]

Titled ......

I have a amber piece, it has fossilised insects in it :D
but im still going to use it .
amber does give me a centred feeling.
and isn't amber the fossilised gum of some tree( don't know if im right here).
I will look in my books tonight to see what it can b used for.


Lilu: i havent seen Kyanite before, what does it look like?

[Myst]

Yes it is the fossilized gum or sap of a tree.

Which is why sometimes it is used in work to access past lives or ancestors or history.

[Sequoia]

hmm. . . amber sounds like a mysterious "stone". . . :)

[Swanspirit]

Is the fossilised resin or tree sap that has been used since ancient times for jewelry , and for magical and spiritual purposes.
I doint think the fact that there was a in sect in it would hurt, I think it would help, but then I always say...... use what the goddess provides,and some of my very best workings have been done using nothing but "beach leavings" such as shells and driftwood and stones ( I live at the beach .. going to take a splash today later on :> ) and leaving NO TRACE of ever having been there .
Was a magical working I will not forget ..... the wind rose.... I had a green bottle in my hand to use to hold sea water and the wind began playing music fromthe mouth of th bottle , and I just danced and sang to the music the wind played ....
So use the amber .....by all means . I have a
Swan Pendant made of white Baltic Amber ..... it is beautiful......
Willow ..... I can smell that baking spell from here LOL

Swan ~ she is sooo sweet!!! I have two (both 2 months old now!) ~ a brother 'Wolf' who is a grey tabby with Citrine eyes! and a sister 'Tilly', she is black with Amber eyes!

Amber is awonderful stone and a very calming and grounding one to wear ~ I have a lovely necklace that I wear when I want to feel Amber's relaxing energies. Its is amazing how you find bits of amber, flowers and air in the stone isnt it!

Lilu Ivbe got a small piece of Kyanite which I use for meditation as I was given a few years ago to help ground myself and go deep into my meditations. It is a wonderful stone that needs cleansing quite a bit because it acts like a magnet for all negative energy ~ with yourself and the energies around you :) I would recommend you get a piece if your interested .. heres a page Ive had for it..

Thanks SV! I love RainbowCrystals, they have a lot of great info there. I am looking at a piece of kyanite online at the moment, and stumbled across it looking for kunzite! haha Interesting you mention that it has to be cleansed often, one description said that you never have to cleanse it (not that I believe that! haha) Funny how some people vary with their opinions on these things.

Mythril, here's an article and a pic on Kyanite.
http://www.rainbowcrystal.com/crystal/gems/kyanite.html

Regarding AMBER:

I have a beautiful amber necklace in filigree that I bought for my debutante ball many years ago. It has a warm uplifting feeling to it.

Some of the things my favourite book say about amber is that it's "especially helpful when feeling weighed down with responsibilities. Good for people with suicidal tendancies and those who easily get depressed."

I have used amber in the past during bouts of depression and it is a real uplifting energy, but you have to be careful to cleanse it often as it will get a cloudy look if it absorbs too many negative energies from you.

"Creates a balance between daily life and spiritual expansion... has a positive effect on the endocrine system, spleen and heart, and has a healing, soothing, harmonising influence... Worn as jewelry it can be grounding and stabilising. When used at the solar plexus, amber will enhance intellectual clarity about your future path."

[mythril]

thanks for the link Lilu

[Swanspirit]

is "CAPTURED SUNLIGHT "
because of its origin as tree sap and resin.
You can tell real amber easliy by warming it , it emit the odor of resin...... which is wonderful as well....
Love and Light
Swannie

[Silver Venus]

is such a nice term for Amber! I used to say something similar about Goldstone ~ that the sun was shinning out of it.. with all its sparkles! and the stars were shinning for Blue Goldstone.

Lilu ~ Yeah that is funny!! I am pretty certain it does soak up all the negative energy because I read it somewhere and can also feel it getting heavier as the month goes on (I cleanse most of my stones every full moon).. I find it helps allot to cleanse it but I guess with everything in life ~ its each to there own! Its a great Crystal for meditation and especially for female energy I sense from the stone (my bf doesnt like it much!), you should get it if it found you ~ even if it was a twinkle on the net ;)
(I always get Crytals that catch my eye and twinkle to me (if I can afford them!).. they are saying something to you!)

Have a good New Moon with your Crystals! :)

[Sequoia]

I found a very strange quartz crystal in a big pile of normal clear quartz crystals. It has a purple-ish tint to it. . . anybody have any theories as to how that happened? the tint is stronger in the clear part of the crystal than at the base. And it's only just enough to make you notice when it's next to a white/clear quartz crystal. I've heard of quartz in things like orange and such, I just wonder about purple hehe


P.S. I bought it. . . it was so rare-special looking that I had to hehe, plus I only paid $.50 ^^; dang expensive Cali

[Myst]

Actually you can think of amethyst as purple quartz. A chemical reaction/the addition of a new chemical (I can't remember which) results in the purple colour. Thus yours probably almost became an amethyst.

[Sequoia]

ooooh! I bought a pretty new ring today! It's moonstone set in silver. . . is moonstone special for anything?

[mythril]

Post it up Puma , love to see it.:)

here is mine, it is a eye agate.

[Sequoia]

I . . . can't get it off my finger 8O
I'll just scan my hand. . .


(btw. . . this piccie looks a little odd without the rest of my hand. . . )


o.o whoah, your ring is so awesome!

[mythril]

it beautiful:)

[Sequoia]

*smiles* thank you

[Silver Venus]

Hey Mythril and Puma ~ your rings are really beautiful! :D
I used to have a really nice Opal one but lost it on holiday last year :( ~ Im not much of a ring wearer ~ they always aggrovate my fingers...

Moonstone is a great feminie stone Puma ~ Heres a link for you :)

kewl!! I'll take a look once I get home (I'm at school)

[Lavender]

Check out "Love is in the Earth" by Melody. You might be able to find this book at the local library. Lots of great info on moonstone & other crystals as well as info on crystal healing & what crystals heal what part of your body.

[mythril]

lovely books, very imformative

[mythril]

Can amber be burnt as an incence, for eg could i put a piece on a charcole block?

[Silver Venus]

Originally posted by mythril

Ions later you get a answer! :rolleyes: Dont know why I didnt.. anyway..

You can get Amber resin which is lovely to burn with charcaol...but Im not sure if amber itself can be brunt. I know its really soft so maybe if you somehow made it even softer and palable you could.

[Silver Venus]

& Ions after I promised this I have actually got round to taking the pictures of those layouts ~
If any body want to know the exact crystals Ill type those out but basically you can use crystals or the same colours to correspond with the chakra's.

This first one is called the Third Eye Awakener ~
Between the eyeborws rest an Azurite nodule to pentrate through the subconsciuos blockages.
Directly above it resides a beautiful Gem slicai stone to expand the vision into the realm of spirit.
On either side of silica rests two Amysthest cabs to initate a meditative state.
At the hairline lord Luvulite rules who relays undertsanding into the higher mind.
Two clear Quartz crystals to connect below it.
& aClear Quartz generator crystal at the crown

[Silver Venus]

For the Thoart Chakra

Directly on the thoart vchakra point has been placed a gm quality Celestite crystlas cluster to faciliate the expression of the highest truth.
below it is a naturally terminated Aquamarine crystal channeling energy from the heart with the help of the two Clear Quartz either side.
To gorund the effects Blue Lace Agate rests on either side with Turquoise above it.
Charging the Turquoise is Gem Silica on both sides and Indicolite above ushering in from the third eye.

[Silver Venus]

This one is really lovely I think because I love Pink Quartz

In the centre is the hearts conrer stone ~ Rose Quartz for self love and compassion. Surrounded on four sides by the healing energy of Green Aventurine with Small Pink Tourmaline wands placed inbetween them for the expansion of love.
Five pink and Green Tourmaline pieces cover the upper chest for the hearts expression into words at the thoart chakra.
Kunzite rests below the green Aventurine to activate the heart chakra and either side is grounding Rhodonite.
A gem quality Rhodochrosite is placed on the solar plexus point to bridge the loving heart energy into the navel centre.

[Silver Venus]

For the Solar Plexus chakra ~ Above the belly button

In the centre resides a large bulleye Malachite to penetrate through the suppressed emotion.
It is surrounded by six clear Quartz generators to dissolve whatever is mirrored on the surface.
On the upper right and left sides rests Malachite and Chrysocholla and below Malachite and Azurite stones rest.
Rhodochrosite is above and below the Malachite to clear the way for energy to flow between the heart centre and navel chakra.

[Silver Venus]

The middle stone (citrine) sits on the belly button

On the navel point sits Citrine which is charged by tow terminated Citrine generators crystals on eack side.
Golden Topaz crystals are pointing towards the faceted Citrine as well as four small Rutilated Quartz cabs at each corner to further energise the chakra.
Two clear Quartz generators are activating the upper Topaz.
With Amber to either side of the lover Topaz and Tiger eye as the base stone to ground the frequenices of the golden ray down into the body.

[Silver Venus]

Root Chakra big time here!

Below the navel reside a true red Realgar cluster with a deep red Carnelia cabachon directly below it to stimulate the creative energy of the second sexual chakra.
To either side are smaller more orange Carnelian cabs.
Small double terminated Quartz crystals accentuate the power of these stones. Beneath the middle Carnelian is the natural Garnet crystal accompanied on each side by Red Jasper to ground the creative energies.
A Realga cabachron sums up the red stones and is charged by two clear Quartz generators on each side.
Three red flecked Bloodstones lie beneath here to recieve the energy.
Hazkeye is directly below grounding healing energies directly into the body.
To activate the base chakra Smoky Quartz rests on each groin point.
Large dark green Tourmaline wands are found above and below these to channel the energy into the body to strengthen the physical system.

[Silver Venus]

Amazing!

Combination of all above.
Clear Quartz is placed in the hands and at the feet with the ternminations pointing in towards the body to circulate energy.

Smoky Quartz crystals pointing in at the feet completes the circulation of energy.

[Silver Venus]

She is holding a Clear Quartz Crystal Generator over him, in his aura to charge each chakra centre and the surrounding crystals.

[mythril]

Wow Silver, those layouts are awesome.

Thankyou very much, i can identify what some of the stones for each layout are but could you name each one in each layout if it is not to much of a problem?

[Silver Venus]

Glad they have inspired you!

I went to the book store over the weekend and had a look at the books that you are talking about.

I was just reading about how gemstones can help one's health, so I want to find my big hematite worry stone or buy another one. Hematite is good for kidney problems, and it might help my mine. :)

I hope it helps, Why not make a gemstone elixer.
It will go straight to the problem :)

Does anyone know anything about chevron amethyst (amethyst with purple and white bands) I have a piece and want to know what it can be used for!

I've doen quite a bit of meditation/healing with gemstones. I find that accessing the higher realms, work better with healing. I use Amethyst, Ruby, Quartz and Moss Agate stones, bound in Copper and Silver to heal as well as for amplification of meditational vibrations. It something that takes a getting used to, being that the vibrational frequencies of Ruby and Quartz combined, can be a bit overwhelming. Hope it helps...

I recommend reading a few books on vibrational healing that are really informative and healthy:
Flower Essences and Vibrational Healing - By Gurudas = this is a good one!!!
Gem Elixers and Vibrational Healing - Vol.1 & 2 - By Gurudas

Actuslly, Ive tried working with stones but don't notice any difference for healing. I can feel diiferences in the energy of different stones, but cant seem to harness them.
