Introduction to Crystal Therapy
Crystal therapy or Crystal healing is an ancient

healing technique, used by the Indians, Sumerians,
Egyptians, Mayans, and even Native Americans.
All of them used crystals and gemstones for
protection, healing, and transformation.
The practice can be found in nearly every culture,
country, and religion around the world; deeply
rooting itself into the way we live our lives today.
Talismans and amulets have been used since the
dawn of time, though we have no way of knowing
how the first of these objects were perceived or
used. Many of the early pieces were organic in
nature. Beads carved of mammoth ivory dating
back 60,000 years (Upper Palaeolithic period)
have been excavated from a grave in Sungir,
Russia, as have contemporary beads made from
shell and fossil shark's teeth.
Amulet
The oldest amulets are made of Baltic amber,
dating back 30,000 years, and amber beads were
discovered in Britain 10,000 years ago, near the
end of the last ice age. The distance they traveled
to reach Britain demonstrates their importance to
the people of the time. Jet was also popular, as
evidenced by the discovery of jet beads,
bracelets, and necklaces in Palaeolithic gravesites
4
in Switzerland and Belgium. Malachite mines have

existed in Sinai since 4000 BC.
The Christian church banned amulets in 355 AD,
but gemstones continued to play an important
role, with sapphire being the preferred gem for
ecclesiastical rings in the 12th century. There were
also numerous symbolic references, such as the
carbuncle symbolizing Christ's sacrifice.
Historical References
In their jewellery, the Ancient Egyptians used lapis
lazuli, turquoise, carnelian, emerald, and clear
quartz. They also made grave amulets out of the
same gemstones. The Ancient Egyptians primarily
used stones for protection and health. Chrysolite
(later translated as topaz and peridot) was used to
ward off night terrors and to drive away evil spirits.
Egyptians also used crystals for cosmetic purposes
Crystals were given a variety of properties by the
Ancient Greeks, and many of the names we use
today have Greek origins. Hematite derives its
name from the Latin word for blood, owing to the
red coloration produced when it oxidizes.
Hematite is an iron ore, and iron was associated
with Aries, the god of war, by the ancient Greeks.
Greek soldiers were said to rub hematite on their
bodies before battle to make themselves
invulnerable. To keep them safe at sea, Greek
sailors wore a variety of amulets.
5
In ancient China, jade was highly valued, and

some Chinese old texts describe jade beads. Jade
was used to make musical instruments such as
chimes, and around 1000 years ago, Chinese
emperors were sometimes buried in jade armour.
In Mexico, there are burials with jade masks from
the same time period. Both China and South
America recognized jade as a kidney healing
stone. More recently, around 250 years ago, the
Maoris of New Zealand wore jade pendants
representing ancestor spirits, which were passed
down through the male line for many generations.
Green stones are still considered lucky in some
parts of New Zealand today.
Crystals in Religion
All religions have used crystals and gemstones in
some way. They are mentioned in the Bible, the
Koran, and numerous other religious texts. The 4th
Heaven in the Koran is made up of carbuncle
(garnet). In Hinduism, the Kalpa Tree, which
represents an offering to the gods, is said to be
entirely made of precious stone, and a Buddhist
text from the 7th century describes a diamond
throne located near the Tree of Knowledge (the
neem tree under which Siddhartha meditated). A
thousand Kalpa Buddhas sat on this throne.
The Ratnapariksha of Buddhabhatta is also an
ancient sacred lapidary treatise. According to
some sources, it is Hindu, but it is more likely
Buddhist. The date is unknown, but it is most likely
6
from the sixth century. Diamonds are ranked

according to caste in this treatise and figure
prominently as the king of gemstones. The ruby was
also held in high regard. It represented an
inextinguishable flame and was said to protect the
wearer's physical and mental health. Many other
gemstones and their properties are listed in the
treatise.
7
Minerals, Crystals and Gemstones
Have you ever pondered the distinction between

crystal and mineral? Maybe you thought there was
none at all. That is where you are mistaken. There
are significant differences between these two and
understanding them will help you distinguish one
from the other. So, shall we get started?
Any solid with an organized structure is referred to
as a crystal. That is, the atoms of this thing are
arranged in very precise distances and angles
from one another, as opposed to glass, where the
atoms are arranged in a more or less random
arrangement.
Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic
substances with crystalline structures. So being a
crystal is required in order to be a mineral. As a
result, all minerals form crystals.
Sugar and proteins are examples of organic solids
that form crystals but are not minerals. Some
syntethic substances used in nanotechnology are
crystalline, but they are man-made and thus not
minerals.
Crystals and minerals differ not only in terms of how
they are used, but also in terms of structure. Simply
put, a crystal is a structure composed of various
natural materials, whereas a mineral is a material
in and of itself.
8
These are referred to as polymorphs. A mineral's

physical properties can be greatly influenced by its
crystal structure. Diamonds and graphite are good
examples of this. Diamonds are known to be the
hardest of all minerals, and yet, despite having the
same composition as graphite, the latter is very
malleable in nature.
The gemstones are mineral crystals that can be cut
and polished to make jewellery or other
adornments.
9
Cleansing the Crystals
It is important to cleanse the crystals from negative

energies that it accumulates during healing or
during unintentional positive and negative energy
swaps during handling or transportation.
Here are some of the ways that can be used to
cleanse them.
1. Running Water:
Although natural flowing water, such as a
stream, is preferable, you can also rinse your
crystal under a tap. Make sure your crystal is
completely submerged in whatever water
source you're using. When finished, pat dry.
Cleanse it for approximately 1 minute.
Remember, though it is useful for hard crystals
such as quartz and amethyst, it should not be
used on brittle or soft crystals such as halite,
selenite, and kyanite.
2. Salt Water:
Throughout history, salt has been used to
absorb unwanted energy and dispel
negativity. Using it is very simple. Simply dissolve
a tablespoon of any kind of salt in a bowl of
water. Keep the crystal in salt water up to 48
hours. Remember, though you can use this
technique for hard crystal such as, using it for
soft crystals is not advisable.
10
3. Brown Rice:
It is especially beneficial for stones that are
protective, such as black tourmaline. For this, fill
a bowl halfway with dry brown rice and bury
your crystal in it. Keep the crystal in there for 24
hours and then discard the rice. It is a safe
technique and can be used for any kind of
crystal.
4. Moonlight Bath:
Put your crystal under the moonlight overnight
6-12 hours and bring it back inside the room
early in the morning before the sunrise and give
it a quick rinse to get rid of any remaining dirt
and debris. Allow to air dry. It is a safe
technique and can be used for any kind of
crystal.
5. Sage:
Sage is a sacred plant with numerous
medicinal properties. Smudging can cleanse
the crystals. You should do smudging outside or
near an open window. There are many
varieties of sages available in market. You can
use any of them.
Put the sage in a fireproof bowl and light the
flame on the tip of the sage. Once it starts
smoking, take the crystal and firmly and move
it through the smoke so that the smoke
surrounds the crystal. Hold the crystal there for
30-60 seconds. You can do this for any crystal.
11
6. Sound:
Sing or play any single pitch or tone and keep
the crystal in front of it. The sound vibrations
and positive intentions cleanse the crystal. I
personally prefer the sound of “Om”.
7. Visualization
Although this is regarded as the safest method
of stone removal, spend a few minutes
grounding and centering your energy before
cleansing a crystal.
To do it, choose a calm place. Pick up the
crystal and visualizing your hands filling with
white, radiant light. Feel the light encircling the
crystal and growing brighter in your hands.
Imagine the impurities being flushed out of the
crystal, allowing it to shine brighter. Continue
this visualization until you feel a positive change
in the energy of the stone. Though initially it
may take you even 15 minutes, with practice,
you can do it within a minute.
12
Energising the Crystals
After you have cleansed your crystals, you must

energize them. The purpose of energizing is to
charge and potentialize the crystal's
transformational power (prana). We awaken the
stone's dormant energy with an external stimulant
such as the moon and the sun. This is how we
provide a channel for its intelligent movement to
continue. The following are some methods for
energizing crystals:
Water
Crystals can be energized by flowing water. You
can also just place your crystals in a glass container
and submerge them in cool running water for 10-
20 minutes. Both of these methods can cleanse
and energize at the same time.
Sunlight
You can energize your crystals by exposing them
to sunlight. When placing crystals in the sun, it is
best to do so at sunrise or sunset because some
colored stones may fade over time if placed in the
sun too frequently.
Even the moon light charges the crystals. A full
moon is the best time to place the crystal under the
moon.
Physical Contact
13
You can also energize the stones by simply holding

them or rubbing them between your palms. As the
stone or crystal's guide to freeing their own energy,
remember to cleanse your body, wash your hair,
and then create a nice, clear space free of clutter
or unnecessary objects to magnify your energy
field and aid the stones in their journey.
14
Programming the Crystals
This enables the crystal to move energy rather than

storing it. A stone, like any living organism, is
designed to continue the process of creation. As
the stone recognizes its power, it requires an
intention to put that power to good use—
conscious use—which the mind's power provides.
Until that time, the stone is sustained by the
universal mind or cosmic flow. When in contact
with a human, the stone looks to him her for the
source of its purpose. Here is where we must let go
of our ego, understand our place in nature, and
use our individual intelligence to help the creation
process. Because we are all co-creators with the
universe, we must program the stone with pure,
non-egotistic, and collective intentions.
By doing so, we become a key component of a
collective consciousness and apply the
appropriate effort toward alignment with our
purpose.
Here is how to programme the crystal:
1. Although crystals are said to have natural
healing properties, setting an intention for your
stone can help you connect with its energy
and rediscover your own sense of purpose.
2. You may feel more at ease holding the stone in
your hand or placing it on your third eye while
meditating.
15
3. Consider the energy of the stone merging with

your own. Speak to the stone, either silently or
aloud, and ask for help in completing your
current task.
4. Thank the stone for its presence, then meditate
for a few minutes.
Re-activating the crystals

1. If your stone feels heavier than usual, as if it has
lost its lustre, it may benefit from some
energetic activation.
2. Try speaking to it, singing to it, or sending it vital
life force energy through your breath to give it
some of your own energy. A small amount of
interaction can go a long way!
16
Storing the Crystals
Crystals are sophisticated tools, so you need to

take good care of them. You can keep them in
natural fabric e.g. silk or suede, or clay bowls, or
bone China bowls, or wooden box with foam and
linen layers inside. You can also use velvet
pouches.
Though, the best way is to keep one type of crystals
together (also known as storing by crystal family);
you can also store different types of crystals in
groups too. It is advisable the wrap the crystals
separately before storing them in groups. It
becomes more important to do in case of brittle
crystals. You can use Mohs Hardness Scale to
determine the toughness and brittleness of a stone.
You can group them in the following ways:
By Color: The crystals of same color usually have
same kind of energy. So you can store same color
crystals together.
By Intention: This is entirely up to you, but
separating crystals based on their best energy use
can help you know where to look when looking for
a crystal in the moment.
17
Crystal Shapes and Their Uses
Crystals of different shapes, not in their natural

forms but when are cut and polished, may direct
the energy in different way.
When a crystal is carved into a specific shape, it
enhances some properties or even adds new ones
to the gem. Crystals that are cut add an aesthetic
appeal to the stone, but it also enables the user to
work with the crystal in other ways.
When choosing a crystal shape, you need to
decide what exactly it will be used for. Keep in
mind that all crystals have natural powers that will
always maintain their properties regardless of what
shape they come in.
Tumble Stones:
A tumbled stone crystal is the most common cut
and polished form that you can find. Tumbled
stones are small, round, polished crystals. They are
made using a machine called a rock tumbler,
which will tumble the tiny stones until their edges
are smooth. Their shapes and sizes will vary, but the
form itself is a “one size fits all” use. The crystal’s
energy will radiate in multiple directions.
Standing Crystal Point:
18
A standing crystal point is also known as a crystal

tower. A crystal tower is cut into a point with a
machine, or can be made with natural formation
by simply cutting the crystal at the base to let it
stand on its own.
A tower will direct and focus energy out of the
peak of the stone. Towers are typically cut into
generator points so that your energy and intentions
are magnified.
Pyramid Crystals:
Pyramid crystals have four triangular sides and a
square bottom. What makes a pyramid shape
ideal is that it anchors and directs energies. It
stabilizes the energies from the earth while also
enhancing and projecting them out of the
pinnacle. You can use small crystal pyramids on
chakras to rebalance them, or place them around
your home to create a centered and balanced
environment. Pyramids are powerful central stones
in crystal grids, capable of raising vibrations and
heightening your intentions.
Crystal Spheres
A crystal sphere is exactly what fortune tellers and
gypsies in movies and books are referring to when
they use a “crystal ball.” Crystal spheres are cut,
shaped, and polished into a perfectly round ball.
19
They emanate energy smoothly and evenly in

every direction. They also have the special
property of neutralizing negative or unbalanced
energizes. A unique property of crystal spheres is
that they are not only connected to the earth, but
also other planets.
They also specifically help in opening the third-eye
chakra. Sphere-shaped crystals were traditionally
used for fortune telling, also known as scrying. They
can be held over chakras and auras for energy
healing. Although spheres will need a stand to be
displayed in your home, but they instill a sense of
peace and grounded energy. You can place
them in the center of a crystal grid to promote
healing, protection, and psychic growth.
Heart Crystals:
Heart-shaped crystals symbolize love, your heart,
and the connection with the heart chakra. Crystals
that are cut and shaped into hearts can be
placed directly over heart chakra to heal it.
Small hearts are ideal for carrying with you to keep
you centered wherever you go. Larger heart-
shaped crystals can be placed around your home
or work, and used with crystal grids. It is believed
that crystal hearts attract love and new
relationships. They also heal broken hearts and
emotional wounds.
20
Crystal Angels:
Crystal angels can be found in many sizes. They are
not designed to be realistic statues and are usually
on the smaller side of shaped crystals. Crystals that
are shaped into angels has angelic positive
energies, which helps connect with the guardian
angels. Placing angels around home provide a
higher vibration, protection, and healing. They can
also be used as the center crystal in a grid.
21
Crystal Colors and Their Uses
It is well known that crystals get their colors from the

various chemicals that are present during crystal
formation. However, the colors themselves have
an impact on the effect crystals have on us. This is
due to the different meanings and properties of
each color, as well as the fact that different
people experience different colors in their own
unique way. To understand the use of colored
crystals, we can simply divide them into warm and
cool colors.
Warm Crystal Colors
Warm colors all have projective energy, which
means they are energizing and encouraging. They
cultivate zeal, creativity, and abundance. They
are widely used for healing and as symbols of good
fortune, success, accomplishment, bravery,
wealth, and self-assurance.
 Red Crystals:
Red represents passion, energy, and life; it
inspires and motivates. More red is required
if you feel a lack of power or are emotionally
depressed. Red crystals are associated with
self-assurance, willpower, and courage. Use
a bright red crystal when you need to take
action without hesitation. Red crystals have
22
potent healing properties. They increase

blood pressure and metabolism while also
benefiting the immune system, blood
circulation, and reproductive organs.
Red color crystals can balance the Root
Chakra.
The power of crystals is subtler in lighter
shades of red, such as pink, and not as
strong as in red crystals. This is a soothing
color that represents determination,
commitment, and caring. Pink sapphire, rose
quartz, cinnabar, and morganite are
excellent for attracting a girlfriend,
boyfriend, or friend.
Examples of red crystals are - Red Tiger's Eye,
Ruby, Red Goldstone, Red Sunstone, Red
Jasper, Garnet, Plum Jade, and Red Coral.
 Orange Crystals:
Orange crystals are associated with
happiness and pleasure. It is also a color that
brings people together. Orange crystals are
known as "home stones" and "community
stones." Use your orange crystals to heal
yourself. It can aid in the treatment of kidney
problems, eating disorders, and allergies.
Orange crystals can balance the Sacral
Chakra.
23
Darker orange hues amplify the sense of

belonging and home. To bring hospitality
into your home, use a deep orange stone as
a "home stone" and place it in the center of
your home. A dark orange crystal is ideal for
keeping family members together as well as
your work team together. Orange is the
color of friendship in lighter shades.
Companionship, loyalty, and sharing are
represented by light orange crystals.
Examples of orange crystals are Orange
Sunstone, Carnelian, Orange Agate, and
Orange Calcite.
 Yellow Crystals:
This color is associated with the power of
enlightenment. It aids us in our quest for
knowledge. Yellow crystals also represent
optimism and the start of new adventures.
Yellow crystals are widely used in healing;
they aid in the treatment of skin diseases and
eating disorders.
Yellow crystals can balance the Solar Plexus
Chakra.
Yellow crystals help you see things from a
different perspective and brighten your life.
Citrine, for example, will bring you success
and happiness. Pyrite promotes optimism
and will assist you in discovering the
24
meaning of your life and relationships. Yellow

crystals are used as amulets to bring about
new beginnings and projects.
The examples of yellow crystals are Yellow
Calcite, Citrine, Yellow Tiger Eye, and Pyrite.
Cool Crystal Colors

All of the cool colors are full of receptive energy.
They are calming. They represent love, calm, and
peace. Cool-colored crystals are commonly used
for meditation.
White crystals inspire and enhance psychic abilities
and intuition. They will provide you with a sense of
direction. White crystals are frequently used as
amulets for good luck and safe travel. These
crystals carry positive and light energies that will
shield you from any negative influences. White
crystals will assist you in regaining your sense of
calm and peace in your life. White crystals are also
extremely useful for crystal healing. They will assist
you in healing your teeth, bones, and body as a
whole.
However, black color, as well as black crystals, aids
in the removal of negative energies and provides
stability, grounding, and protection. Black crystals
are commonly used as amulets for protection.
When you don't feel safe, use them. If you believe
25
your home needs to be cleansed of negative

energies and destructive influences, keep a black
crystal near the front door and in the corners of
each room.
Black crystals should be present in your life. A black
crystal can provide you with a sense of well-being
in addition to being a powerful grounding force.
Black crystals will help you connect with the
physical, natural world. They will aid in the
alleviation of your fears related to your physical
existence and state.
 Green Crystals:
The growth crystals are green crystals. The
represent growth, creation, and the power
of nature’s renewal. Green crystals also
provide stability; they will assist you in sticking
to a schedule and staying on track in your
life. You will increase your productivity by
owning a green crystal, which will help you
with your career and personal projects.
A green crystal, as a symbol of fertility and
growth, will be extremely beneficial if you
want to improve your relationships with
family and friends.
Green crystals can balance the Heart
Chakra.
 Blue Crystals:
26
The color blue will have an effect on your

mood. You will become more sensitive,
tender, and considerate. If you need to
change your relationships with friends and
family, a blue crystal can be extremely
beneficial.
Blue crystals aid in the treatment of
headaches and fevers. They will provide you
with restful sleep and alleviate your pain.
Blue crystals can balance the Throat
Chakra.
The examples of blue crystals are Blue
sapphire, blue topaz, and Kyanite etc.
 Indigo Crystals:
Indigo or Purple crystals are associated with
intuition, dreams, and nobility. These crystals
evoke a sense of mystery and magic. Such
crystals encourage our dreams, provide
inspiration, and provide us with the strength
to achieve our goals.
These crystals are effective healers; they
relieve migraines, help you sleep better, and
help you deal with allergies.
The Indigo Crystals can balance the Third
Eye Chakra.
The examples of indigo or purple crystals are
Taaffeite, Sugilite, Lepidolite, and Halite.
27
 Violet Crystals:
The Violet crystals balance Crown Chakra
and improve psychic awareness.
The examples of violet crystals are Sugilite,
Taaffeite, Lepidolite, Amethyst, and Halite.
28
Crystal Placement
Crystal can be place on the body, above the

body, or in the surroundings.
The only important thing to know is that placing on
body is the most effective placement, followed by
holding a crystal above the body part, and lastly
keeping the crystal around the body in the
environment.
In case of keeping the crystal on body part, it is
advisable that the body part and crystal is clean
to avoid germs and infection.
Multiple crystals can be placed in a circular form
or any other geometrical form to create a stronger
crystal energy field for better results.
29
Wearing & Carrying Crystals
Wearing a crystal is most effective when it touches

a body part. For examples, the inner part of a ring
may be open so that the crystal touches the finger
while wearing. The same can be done in bracelets,
pendants, and other ornaments.
But you don’t have to worry too much about it. As
far as the crystal is in range of your aura (usually at
least 10 cm), you will be getting it’s effects.
If a crystal is too big to carry, begin by keeping it
close to you once a day, then twice, then three
times. During this time, gradually increase the
duration from a half hour to an hour, and so on.
30
Crystals Décor
There are numerous approaches people can take

to transform their home into a healing and
rejuvenating environment. Crystal décor is the use
of crystals for both decoration and healing
purposes.
There are many ways to use crystals for décor e.g.
fill the flower pots with crystals, or use crystals in
geode coasters, or use crystals as a show piece
paper weight. You can be as creative as you want
as far as you are using the crystal you need.
The key here is that the crystals should be present
in the room where you spend time e.g. bedroom,
drawing room, study room etc. The crystal in the
room should be uncovered and stay at a place for
longer time. It usually takes at least 24-48 hours
before the room is fully charged with the crystal.
The crystals should be cleaned and energized at
least once in a week.
31
Crystal First-Aid Kit
There are few crystals that we should keep handy

for purposes of complementing the medical first-
aid kit and care. I advise to keep 10 crystals that
can be mixed and matched to complement in the
first aid of any condition.
1. Clear Quartz – It is a master healer. It is
advisable to use in any condition, no matter
what.
2. Amethyst Druze - Amethyst is a master
tranquilizer. You can use it all situations. It
can be used to brush gently and slowly from
head to toe through the aura to calm and
soothe the person. It can also be held or
placed next to the person's body. It is
effective in the case of hight blood pressure,
shock or anxiety-producing situation.
3. Fluorite Tip Selenite Wand – It can be used for
muscular pains. Just keep the tip of it over or
on the painful area.
4. Bloodstone – have the person hold one in
each hand or place the stone just above the
injury to help faster healing. Make sure that
you don’t touch the injured area with the
crystal.
5. Selenite – You can use it for any kind of pain.
32
6. Celestite – You can use it for any kind of

inflammation and swelling.
7. Smokey Quartz – It is good for insect bites,
minor injuries and infections.
8. Blue Lace Agate – For burns and fevers,
place over the burn or forehead and
imagine a cool breeze washing over the
area while drawing out the heat. It is also
helpful in reducing joint pain.
9. Tiger Eye – It is good for any eye related
problems, evil eye, and altered blood
pressure.
10. Amber – It is good for dizziness, chronic
fatigue, and dehydration.
33
Crystal Meditation
Crystal meditation is totally different level of

experience. Here we use crystals to enhance the
meditative state and stimulate the chakras and
aura.
There are three ways to do that:
1. Meditating with crystal held in hands:
Holding crystals in your palm and clearing
your mind can be enough to help you
meditate. Holding a crystal in your hand
while meditating allows you to naturally
exchange energies and vibrations with the
stone, allowing you to feel its effects. Choose
a crystal based on the objective of your
meditation or the chakra you want to focus
on or any crystal your intuition guides you for.
In case of confusion, simply hold a Clear
Quartz.
2. Meditating with crystals on or around

chakras:
If your desire for a crystal meditation is to be
focused on a particular chakra, you can lie
down and keep the relevant crystal around
the location of that chakra. In case you
don’t want to keep the crystal on your body,
34
simple keep it on the side of your body,

almost the level of that chakra.
If you want to cleanse and energize all your
chakras or kundalini, keep relevant crystals
on or near all the chakras.
A simple rule of crystals for chakra is that, the
crystal should be of the color of chakra.
i. Root Chakra is of red color and any
crystal of red, brown, or black color
will be helpful. E.g., Carnelian, Red
Zircon, Ruby, Garnet, Smoky Quartz,
Obsidian, and Black Tourmaline etc.
ii. Sacral Chakra is of orange color, and
any crystal of orange color will be
helpful. E.g., Orange sapphire,
Andesine, Amber, Carnelian Agate,
Citrine, Moonstone, and Orange
Calcite etc.
iii. Solar Plexus Chakra is of yellow color,
and any crystal of yellow color will be
helpful. E.g., Yellow Calcite, Yellow
Sapphire, Yellow Zircon, Citrine, Yellow
Topaz, and Yellow Beryl etc.
iv. Heart Chakra is of green color, and
any crystal of green and pink color will
be helpful. E.g., Green Calcite,
Watermelon tourmaline, Serpentine,
Green Sapphire, Green Garnet, Jade,
Rose Quartz, Pink Opal, Rubellite etc.
35
v. Throat Chakra is of blue color, and any

crystal of light blue color will be
helpful. E.g., Blue Sapphire, Lapis
Lazuli, Tanzanite, Kyanite, and Azurite,
etc. It is also important to note that the
blue crystals are useful for both Throat
Chakra and Third Eye chakra.
vi. Third Eye Chakra is of indigo color, and
any crystal of indigo, purple, dark blue
color will be helpful. E.g., Amethyst,
purple sapphire, purple fluorite, and
soda lite etc. It is also important to
note that the blue crystals are useful
for both Throat Chakra and Third Eye
chakra.
vii. Crown Chakra is of violet color, and
any crystal of violet, purple, or white
color will be helpful. Even colorless
crystals will be helpful. E.g., Amethyst,
Clear Quartz, Diamond, White Topaz,
petalite and Oregon Opal etc.
3. Meditating with crystal grid:

Some people prefer not to have crystals
touch their bodies during meditation, in
which case building a crystal circle or grid
might be a useful technique to connect with
crystal energy without the physical contact.
Making grid has two purposes:
36
1. To surround oneself with the energy of

crystals.
2. To cumulate the energies from different
crystals for stronger effect.
To surround with the crystal energies, you

can simply put at least four crystals around
you. One in front, one on the back, and one
on each of sides. If you have more crystals,
you can make a circle of it around you. You
can also make different shapes using the
crystals, sit near to it, close you eyes and
meditate.
37
Healing Crystal Circles
Healing crystal circles are a way to ground,

release, and absorb negative energy while
balancing and restoring the chakras. They can also
provide protection from any negativity that is
encountered during your day to day living. You
can be creative while making crystal circles. Few
people integrate the crystal circles in their
bedrooms so that when they sleep, they cleanse
and charge themselves. The crystals are kept near
the head, side-table, and on ground or bed so that
the crystals are at the level of different chakras.
The size of circle depends upon the number of
crystals available. Higher number of crystals and
proximity with the body gives stronger effect.
38
Crystal Grids and Sets
Crystals can be used to create grids and sets for

various purposes. These grids and sets vary in
shape, size, and composition. The goal is to make
a pattern or complete circuit that will allow one to
manifest goals. You can make a crystal grid near
the client, or on the body with relevant stones over
and around different chakras.
There is no fixed shape or size of crystals. It all
depends upon the availability of the crystals.
However, the biggest crystal or the main crystal to
be used for the desired outcome is kept in the
center. This center crystal can be a crystal related
to the target chakra, or crystal related to the
objective of session, or a zodiac crystal.
Remember, the shape of grid works only because
of the perception of the shape. A Hindu may prefer
a grid of any tantric shape or Om or shape of any
God and Goddess. A Christian may prefer a shape
of cross. The bottom line is that the shape should
emotionally, spiritually, or aesthetically connect
with the user.
39
Crystal Pendulum Dowsing
Dowsing is the practice of using a divining tool to

seek out information about something, ranging
from lost objects to health and soulful information.
A common form of dowsing used by many
traditional cultures is performed by using a forked
stick or rod attached to a weight at one end, and
using it to search for underground water, hidden
treasures, and anything else that might be found
under the earth's surface.
The pendulum is one of the most effective tools
that a dowser can use to answer any question. This
is because a pendulum will allow you full access to
your subconscious mind, which is the place where
all of our answers lie. This is why many people have
turned to the pendulum as a tool for accessing
health, soul, and spiritual information. In addition,
the pendulum can also be used for healing
purposes, such as using it to remove any negative
energy from a person's environment or body.
A pendulum can be used in many different ways,
depending on the situation. A dowsing pendulum
can be used to answer virtually any question or
solve virtually any problem. However, a pendulum
can be used to answer other questions as well. For
example, you can ask your pendulum questions
40
about love, money, and work-related issues with

great results. You can even use a pendulum to
help you find out more about your spiritual side.
One aspect of using your pendulum is to ask it
questions about yourself. To do this, simply hold
your pendulum in your hand and ask out loud,
"What is my next step?" Then, notice how the
pendulum responds. You can also use your
pendulum to help you with other aspects of your
life, such as asking it questions about anything else
that you would like clarification on.
A pendulum can be used for cleansing, energizing,
and healing body, mind, and soul.
To use a pendulum for healing, first choose a
pendulum that is made out of a crystal related to
the chakra you want to heal. Take several slow
deep breaths and relax. Once you are relaxed,
bring the pendulum over the chakra you want to
heal. Visualize your aura connecting with the
crystal and then instruct the crystal to cleanse and
energize the chakra or body part. You will notice
that the pendulum will start moving anti-clockwise
to cleanse and once the cleansing is done, it will
automatically start moving clockwise. This motion
will stop when the healing is done.
