Crystal Healing

[kdsii]

Thanks, this is a good starting point.

So, may I have an opinion, then?

Since about the time that I started seeking truths beyond the material plane, all energy centers above my solar plexus are tight, feel inflamed, and never let up.
I mean, a wrenching tightness, hitting all main energy centers up the back, up the neck to the topmost point of my head, and around between the eyes.
What might be a good place to start, if I were to try using/charging crystals for healing?

Where would I be without my beautiful crystals....I love them and use them daily, all day.

Wow that is a huge question. There is much research for you to do! So to get you on your way I'll mention a few options.

I believe Pickle uses/suggests crystal pendulums to move energy about the body so I'll leave it to him to provide further info if he chooses.

I use my hands as follows to cleanse and energise the chakras:
Right hand with fingers pointing downward swirls clockwise over the first chakra drawing out blockages and then fling the dross away from you. I usually do this daily after work and in the bath so I fling the dross down the bathroom floor drain. Don't fling it into another room or at someone. Out the window is good.

With the left hand, fingers pointing downward I swirl anti-clockwise sending energy into the chakra. I visualise it crystaline and spinning vibrantly in the appropriate colour for that chakra, then I place a crystal over it.

When I purchase a crystal I take it home and plunge into a salt water mix overnight, then ask my higher self to cleanse it further and charge it with love and light. Then I thank the crystal for working with me. When I'm using it I visualise it sending me energy.

Cleanse periodically or leave on a window sill where it will get sunlight and moonlight.

As to which crystals you should use that is up to you and what you feel you need help with.

Universally good crystals to use (in my opinion) are quartz (clear and rose) and selenite.

good luck.
