Utilizing Stones in Energy work

If you use stones in your energy work, what is your prefered technique? What do you use them for? Do you feel specific vibrational differences depending on the stones used? How do you utilize stones in your energy work?

Well the easiest way is to just carry a percific stone around you. You don`t really need to charge the stone for a percific function.
For healing it could be various ways you use a single terminated quartz crystal. usually the points are either pointed away or towards the subject. also it depends on how many you'll be using. In magic and itual that also varies.
Like a protection spell. you would light a white candle and have four obsidian arrowheads point away from the candle as symbolic to drive away the negativie fources. feeling the different vibrations to me isn't really necessary.
I hope this helps .if not please give a more detailed question.

One way of using stones in energy work is carrying them with you

A second good way is using them according to the chakras, and placing them on the chakras themselves
at first correspondenting
later you can do cross references so to speak

one way i like doing, is when lighting candles for someone, to gather a circle of stones around the candle to fortify the outcome

I picked a stone from the woods (first asking permission from Earth to take the stone) that seemed to say pick me. It filled the palm of my hand. I picked it for my healing stone. This was a couple of years ago. In every ritual, the stone was included (as are all my stones and gems). I feel they absorb energy from each ritual. But I never actually used the healing stone. I am just recovering from flu, and have been suffering from pain in my left rib area. I am always so thoughful when it comes to other's healing, and always forget about myself. So I was going thru my herb book to see if I could come up with a poultice to soothe my ache, but did not have the proper herbs. I looked in RavenWolf's American Folk Magick and found a chant that you said while holding your healing stone close to your pain. Because of this book was the original reason I went looking for a healing stone. I used the Wiccan version (she has Wiccan and Christian versions in this book), and held my stone and did the chants. The pain that I had for days went away. This is the truth. I thanked the Goddess. The spot is tender where the pain was, but the actual pain is gone. We have to not forget about ourselves. I am also feeling so much better.

I like to make a big circle of Crystal points, amethyst, rose quartz and apophyllite. Then I hold my labradorite in my right hand and my flourite in my left hand as I sit in the center. I looooove doing this. I've tried it without holding my stones but then I get a loud beating noise in my ears so the stones I hold tones it down and helps a lot. I learned this from a very nice lady who taught me how to do grids. :smile:
