Crystal Balls for Healing, Meditation and Gazing

Crystal Balls and Spheres

Crystal and gemstone balls have been used for divination since at least medieval times. They are a traditional symbol of the occult and hidden wisdom, and much more. Some of their uses include:

Healing

Cleansing

Rituals

Decoration with a purpose

Crystal Ball Gazing

Whether used for crystal ball gazing (scrying), aura cleansing, meditation, rituals or as a room decoration, crystal and gemstone spheres radiate special energies that are created from the earth.

Unlike the focused energy of a wand or egg shaped crystal, a ball emits energy in all directions equally.

Each healing gemstone crystal ball contains energy that is unique to the type of stone.



Crystal Ball Uses

Meditation

A gemstone or crystal sphere can be used during meditation. You may want to hold the sphere or just gaze upon it when meditating.

Healing

Crystal healing should be done by a professional and in conjunction with traditional medicine. Find a professional in your area who offers a workshop or seminar.

Purposeful Decorating

Place a gemstone sphere in a room or on your bedside dresser or office desk to emanate a particular energy. For example, a rose quartz sphere at your bedside surrounds the room with love. A crystal ball will cleanse the room of negativity, while a jasper sphere will also provide protection. Bring money to your business by placing a malachite sphere on your desk. Increase your good fortune with a black tourmaline sphere.

Crystal Ball Gazing

A crystal ball that is used for gazing should be kept wrapped in black silk. When using the crystal ball for gazing, it is best to hold the crystal ball in your hands with the black silk between your hands and the crystal ball. You may use a stand for the ball if you find holding the ball uncomfortable.

Often colors are seen the Crystal Ball. Green, blue and violet are excellent omens. Red, orange and yellow are negative omens and you must take care. Black is unfavorable and much care must be taken until it is no longer seen.

A white brilliance is very favorable for you, meaning your life is on the right track and will be improved. You may see movement or even visions in your crystal ball.

Heal by Shape: Crystal Healing Wands

Crystal Healing Wands

Since ancient times, crystal wands have been used for healing by healers all over the world. Today, crystal wands are still a common tool used by healers around the world.

Wands come in many different shapes and sizes, and also in many varieties of gemstone as well. Wands may be long or short, and the cylinder can be smooth or faceted. They can be pointed at one end and rounded at the other, or they can be rounded on both ends, or pointed at both ends. Some wands are wider at one end and tapered at the other, while others are not. Most wands are shaped and polished, but rough natural pointed crystals, such as quartz, can also be used as a healing wand.

Healing wands gather and direct energy. The elongated, cylindrical shape of a wand enables the stone or crystal to direct its healing energy in a straight line, and the wand's point focuses the crystal's energy so that it can be used on specific areas of the body.

Using Crystal Wands for Healing

Crystal wands can be used in many different methods of healing. They can be used to heal the entire body or aura, or they can be used on a specific area of the body, or on a particular chakra. They can be used to scan the aura and the chakras to locate blockages, and then cleanse and heal them.

Wands can also be used in massage healing. Massaging the body with a stone wand helps to release tension from the body, while at the same time the stone's healing energy is transferred to the body. Smooth, round wands that are rounded on at least one end are the best to use in massage healing as they will not scratch or cause other discomfort.

Pointed wands are good to use in reflexology, a healing method in which the stone's point is held at certain pressure points, mostly on the hands and feet, to heal ailments in particular areas of the body.

Selecting the Right Healing Crystal Wand
 

Wands come in a wide variety of stones and crystals, so there are many different wands to choose from. Different stones have different healing energies and, therefore, have different effects on the body, aura, and chakras. As each gemstone has different healing properties, it is nice to have a variety of wands to use for a variety of different purposes. You might, therefore, wish to build a collection of wands made from a variety of gemstones.

Healing Crystal Layouts and Grids for Healing

There are many ways in which to use crystals, and the two that are used primarily in healing are grids and layouts. There are many different types of grids and layouts using different crystals.

Grids are a number of crystals arranged into a particular geometric form creating a particular energy field. The crystals are either placed on you or around you or a combination of both as you lay on the floor. You can also sit in a grid that doesn't require crystals to be placed on your body.

You can also use grids around your bed or even to protect your home. They are not only for your personal healing. By placing them around your bed this can protect you from geopathic stress or electromagnetic smog. Also, placing them around your bed they stimulate your immune system as you sleep. You spend a lot of time in bed so what better time to let the crystals help you? You will get hours of healing and protection, perhaps more than you would when laying or sitting in a grid.

But if you've not done this before you must start off slowly as your body may not be able to support the energy generated. Spending 10 minutes at the beginning is more than enough time to help you get started.

When you form a grid for healing yourself the crystals must be of equal strength and size and they are placed on the ground. They must, of course, be programmed before you use them.

When using a layout of crystals on your body it is a good idea to get someone to place the crystals on your body for you.

The most commonly used crystal grid is the Star of David grid. You may have seen it being called the Seal of Solomon but the two are one and the same.

This grid is based on a 6-pointed star. One triangle pointing upwards and the other downward. The upward pointing triangle represents Yin and the downward triangle, Yang. Where the two triangles intersect represents the center point where the two forces of duality, the Yin and Yang energies merge in balance.

If your main goal is to energize yourself or give yourself a boost, or strengthen your immune system, then 6 quartz crystals should be used at the star's points and an amethyst on your body.

This particular grid is one that you can use to balance your chakras, and in this case all the crystals will be those associated with your 7 main chakras.

Crystal Shapes for Healing: Skulls

Crystals and gemstones have been used for healing, guidance and divination for thousands of years. One of the reasons that gemstones adorned kings and queens was to support them with wisdom, guidance, healing and power. Crystals have also been used by shaman and medicine men throughout the world, and have been used in ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and the Mayans for their mystical and healing powers.

Jasper Healing Crystal Skull

Ancient cultures were also aware that carving crystals into the shape of a human skull increased their power to affect healing and human consciousness on all levels. Crystal skulls are empowered by the natural healing properties inherent within different stones, which resonate at different frequencies of healing and consciousness.

Crystal skulls can be programmed and directed by desired intention for supporting the healing of oneself and others. One can work with specific stones for assistance with specific conditions, or one can work with an all-purpose crystal skull carved of clear quartz crystal.

It is possible to work with healing at a distance for those whom you care about. You can either give them a crystal skull carved in a stone that supports healing of their particular condition, or you can work with that crystal skull yourself and send the intention of healing energy to your loved one.

If you're seeking a skull for crystal healing, you can find a great selection of crystal skulls on our sister website.

How Healing Crystals and Chakras Work

Many mysteries surround the energy currents of the body. Much confusion, and even fear, arises when metaphysical topics enter mainstream discussions. Largely, this is due to the fact that fear is simply a symptom of uncertainty about the unknown. Understanding healing crystals and their function can help to lift the veil of fear and doubt surrounding this practice.

Healing crystals work to absorb negativity and cleanse energy centers of the body. The seven main energy centers, or chakras, determine the sense of balance that an individual feels. A chakra that is clouded or closed represents an area of life that is presenting difficulties. The ability to identify and remedy the chakra problem can subsequently support a re-balance in life challenges, and ultimately help to eradicate the problems altogether when understanding healing crystals improves.

Chakras can be envisioned as seven individually colored pinwheels. Each should be spinning evenly in a positive and open direction: not too slowly or too quickly. If compared, however, the root and first chakra should spin more slowly than the seventh crown chakra.

Aligning with the spinal column, from the coccyx to the top of the head, the chakras are positioned at relatively equal intervals from one another. Their color vibration is said to radiate out from center to front and back. The color of each chakra has complements in its counterpart crystals.

Carnelian Heart: Kundalini Activation Stone

The root chakra embraces the color red, which represents things fundamental such as food and shelter and materialistic pursuits. Next, the sacral chakra embodies orange: sexuality, confidence, and creativity, just below the navel. Yellow of the solar plexus chakra glows out from beneath the lowest central portion of the ribcage. Ego, passions, anger, energy and strength come from this place.

Green or pink symbolize the heart chakra and love, located in the center of the chest. The throat chakra’s blue hue is responsible for the literal and figurative voice. Indigo and the third eye incorporate vision, success, and higher understanding. The crown chakra, at the top of the head, embodies the purple or white pure state of enlightenment and wisdom.

Laying of crystals on the energy centers is said to purge the negativity and align the energy flow. Understanding healing crystals in this way can yield better life outcomes, reduce frustration, and promote an overall sense of well-being.

Healing Crystal Shapes: The Egg

Healing crystals take a variety of shapes and forms, with each radiating its own specific strength and purpose.

The egg shape, which is sometimes man made, is a very important tool in crystal healing. Whether it is a natural shape or a fabricated shape, the egg exudes the same properties. Egg shaped healing crystals are most commonly used for aura reading, reflexology, zone therapy, acupressure and shiatsu massage.

Malachite Healing Crystal Egg

Meditation: Removing blockages

Because of its smooth and accessible shape the egg is the perfect accompaniment to  meditation. Try holding the egg between your thumb and fingers, with the small end pointing forward. When scanning auras you should be able to feel warm and cold places. Cold places indicate blockages and warm places indicate areas that are totally clear. You can use the egg to open the blockages. These smooth eggs can also be used to soothe sore areas on the body. Always move the egg in a downward motion trying to draw the pain out either through your hands and feet or through the chakras. Then cleanse the chakras thoroughly.

How to decide which healing crystal egg to use

To decide what stone the egg should be made from, first find out the properties of the stone and if they apply to your problem. The list on the gemstone therapy page is a nice guide to help you choose which stone.

So why not get yourself an egg which looks beautiful on your office desk, and dispels these negative energies that interfere with your life? Whatever stone you choose it will only bring positive energies into your life. Happy hunting!

Learn How Reiki Healing and Energy Can Benefit You

Heart Chakra Balancing Meditation Sphere

Have you ever wondered what Reiki healing can do for you?  We've assembled of set of questions and answers we hope will answer all of your questions about Reiki healing and hopefully get you started on the pathway to discovery and healing.





What is Reiki?

Reiki is a natural healing system designed to assist in healing and help achieve balance. Reiki is administered by a practitioner, who serves as a conduit through whom the Universal Life Energy can be transmitted to the recipient, by either hands-on or distance healing techniques. Practitioners may also practice Reiki self-treatments.

How does Reiki energy flow?

Reiki flows through our palms at different rates of speed, depending on various factors such as the extent of the recipient’s illness, degree of blockage, his or her readiness to accept change, and so on.

Is Reiki a form of faith healing?

No, Reiki is not a religion, nor is it based on the acceptance of any religious doctrine. Having a belief system is not a requirement for Reiki to work. Reiki does not infringe on anyone’s right to believe what he or she wishes. However, Reiki's principles are spiritual in nature and do encourage spiritual empowerment and growth.

Who can benefit from a Reiki treatment?

Reiki's gift of increased energy and vitality can be extended to anyone. It doesn't matter what a person's gender, race, intelligence, or financial status is. Reiki is not a healing energy reserved only for the elite, wealthy, educated, or spiritually evolved.

What does Reiki feel like?

Common Reiki sensations are heat or coolness, "pins and needles" tingling, vibrational buzzing, electrical sparks, numbness, throbbing, itchiness, and drowsiness.

What is a Reiki attunement?

A Reiki attunement is a ritual performed by a Reiki Master. The ritual involves energetic placement of Reiki symbols through a specific set of sequenced actions into the student's crown and palms.

Will Reiki ever run out?

When you are giving a Reiki treatment to someone, you are giving of your time and your intent to assist, but you are not giving away any of your own energy. Reiki is in infinite supply. It never runs out.

What is the purpose of the Reiki hand placements?

Emphasis is placed on devoting five minutes on each hand placement so that no part of the body is neglected and to ensure that each body part is given equal consideration.

Do I need to direct the flow of Reiki?

Reiki will automatically go to wherever it needs to go with no mental involvement of either the practitioner or the recipient. However, when mental intention is used, a linear pathway is opened. This cleared route allows Reiki to flow more effectively to that part of the body where attention is most desired.

What purpose do Reiki symbols serve?

Independently, each Reiki symbol has its own unique purposes. The combined function of these symbols is to provide Reiki practitioners with focal points for their healing intentions.

Why is Reiki called "smart energy"?

Reiki is an intelligent energy because it knows which areas of the body most need healing and will automatically flow to specific areas where suffering or imbalance are prevalent.
