Crystals
have been used in the healing process since the days of Atlantis.
The Atlanteans used masses of crystals in various configurations that
we no longer remember to heal the sick, cure the mentally ill and
to maintain general good health. Later they used crystal
generators to provide the power for transportation and light. The
Aborigines here in Australia considered the crystals that produce
rainbows were the home of a powerful spirit. American Indians, various
South American cultures, the Chinese and ancient Egyptians have used
crystals for their powers to refract light, direct energy and for
divination. Today crystals are the heart of circuit boards which power
our computers.
The power
of crystals has been so universally accepted throughout the centuries
that it is surprising we have not developed more ways of utilizing
them. As it stands, however, the use of crystals for healing is
not an exact science. There is a great deal of information available
in relation to which crystals and gemstones are good for treating
certain ailments or for the prevention of certain conditions, although
much of it appears contradictory.One book may state that amethyst
will assist problems of a broken heart, whereas another suggests
that it is
beneficial for opening up an other perspective. I have not yet found
any information which offers strong advice against using a particular
gemstone, although a cautionary note about the extreme outcomes
that may be encountered with some, is occasionally included.

These
largely warn the uninitiated to be aware of the potential outcome
and to be ready to respond accordingly. There is general agreement
among authors about the positive results that are achieved by the
use of crystals and gemstones. One healer in Dallas, Texas has created
a pyramid-shaped structure of hollow copper tubing completely filled
with thousands of crystals. She uses this over her clients as she
works on them. During the work, the crystals take on negative energy
and can be felt to vibrate inside the tubing. At the close of each
session she plays crystal bowls (as the Tibetans use) and this clears
out the negative energies and the crystals stop vibrating.
Crystal
healing is best performed by those who seem to possess a propensity
for it and there is probably someone in your area who performs crystal
healing or crystal balancing. This doesn't mean you cannot have
success with crystal healing, but it stands to reason that the
more sensitive you are and the more in tune with things
spiritual you are, the better your results will be. Crystals
are very sensitive to negative thoughts and the negative
energies of the world, so before you use a crystal for
healing or for any other purpose, you must be sure to clean it.
Any good crystal book can give you detailed instructions for how
this can be done. The rest of the process is described quite well
by Australian crystal healer Bryan Gardiner in his book, "Crystals:
The Journey Begins".
