Crystal Healing

Clear Quartz is the crystal associated with the Crown Chakra and our connection to the divine. It is known as the “Master healer” and is used to align the chakras and for meditation. A crystal point drawn away from the feet counter clockwise helps to “pull the pain out” of this area. Like the amethyst points, crystal points are placed on each side of the site of the pain to concentrate the healing energy to this site. Seal of Solomon is illustrated on the crystal healing page http://www.crystalartsandhealth.org.uk/crystal_healing_sessions.htm Six crystal points are used for the head, each shoulder, the feet, and on each side of the knees. Point the crystals out at first to draw the negative energy away, then after 10 minutes turn the crystals towards the body to draw positive energy back in.
