USING CRYSTALS
TO HEAL THE CHAKRAS
Crystals can be specifically chosen to work with healing issues of particular
chakras. Each of the chakras vibrates to a different energy level
(indicated by their occult colour and elemental associations) and
crystals also vibrate at different levels of energy.
Choosing a crystal with the energy level that you wish to
manifest in a particular chakra is how you would select a
crystal. An example would be if a crown centre was very
blocked, and the optimal functioning of the crown on the
patient in question required amethyst, to align it with the
higher protective and spiritual properties of the stone, then
you would place amethyst in the aura of patient (around the
head).
Remember that crystals are tools and will act as they are
intended by their owner (provided that the intention of the
owner is in relative alignment with the purpose and energy of the
crystal).
Always choose crystals intuitively based on what ‘jumps out’ at you
and feels right for you. You will know if a crystal is meant to be yours,
because you will feel a deep rapport with it as an individual ‘being’.
In any healing work, always hold the intention for healing according to the
Highest Good. Always ask to be a clear channel for Spirit and for Divine Will to
simply flow through you.

Cleansing your Crystals
You will need to cleanse and program a crystal for healing, clearing it of any past programs
or energies.
Here are some tips on this topic:
Crystals store memories, information and intent of those who handle them. You
can clear that information and start afresh.
Cleansing and clearing can be a regular practice for new and old crystals. This
helps clear psychic debris, negativity and accumulated energy in the stone. It also
helps to prevent fading, shattering or cracking, prevents redistribution of negative
energy (perhaps into your energy field – no thanks!).
Cleansing your crystals before and after a healing session on yourself or on others
is most significant.
Cleansing can be done in any number of ways. The most important thing is to use
your intuition to guide you. Remember that some crystals do not respond well to
being in water – especially those that are porous – it can actually erode them
(halite and mica are examples).
So be cautious around scrubbing, soaking or polishing your pieces! Use a gentle
touch if you aren’t sure. I have seen plenty of store-owners
cleanse stones with eucalyptus oil because it gives a
shine (when they are non-porous and already polished
or smooth stones) and removes sticky labels, but you
may find it a bit harsh when cool water can do just as good a
job, as can passing it across the smoke from incense. It is more
about your intention than the action itself.
For coloured stones, keep them out of direct sunlight for extended periods
of time as they can fade. But sunlight is a great way to cleanse and energise
clear quartz. Fluorite, Rose Quartz & Celestite, for example, will fade in direct sunlight.
Temporary exposure to the sun is fine for most crystals.
You can cleanse most crystals in water, in the earth, in moonlight or in sunlight.
Leave them resting for a couple of days on a clear quartz cluster or in your garden.
You can smudge your crystals with incense – perhaps sage, lavender and rosemary
or why not bathe them in flower essences, invoking the devic energies of the flowers
for cleansing?
If you do choose to clean then with essential oils, take care with staining if you use
something like patchouli or myrrh on a light stone – better to use ‘white’ oils like eucalyptus
or lavender.
Using spiritual healing techniques like Reiki or Pranic Healing on crystals is beautiful – they love

to soak up that energy and there is a palpable difference when a crystal is charged with blessings and
energy. Think of the experiments done with sending different thoughts and intentions to water crystals
and how their structures respond. Crystals are natural energy conductors.
To put the ease of cleansing into perspective, the American Indians cleared their crystals with a short
breath! Intention is the key and is far more important than what you actually do – action without focus
is relatively ineffective. Energy follows thought – so use your thoughts to hold healing, cleansing, and
clearing images.

Programming Crystals
You can program crystals in numerous ways and for unlimited purposes, but the evolution of the crystal
kingdom (and the human kingdom) is assisted so well by simply using intention to heal and do no harm.
Certainly that is a lightworker’s creed, to tread lightly upon the earth.
You might like to create a programming ritual – pass it over flame, incense, salt, water & the breath to
tap into all the elements.
You can then invoke Archangel Uriel to assist you in programming the crystal.
Fairies tend to love crystals – so Faery Wicca Rituals are fun if you are so inclined.
To program or dedicate your crystal, hold the piece in your left hand (your receptive hand – so use your
non-dominant hand, which means your right hand, if you are a left handed person) and give thanks.
Next you can mentally clear it of all previous instructions, then pass on the instructions to the crystal by
imagining your intent flowing into the crystal and it being received and acknowledged.
Give further thanks and the deed is done!

Choosing Crystals
Your intuition will be the most important guide, but let us also look at some individual crystals and learn
about their healing and spiritual properties.
Colour, feeling and sense can be your guide as you learn which crystal to use on particular chakras.
Here are some basic spiritual properties of the most readily available crystals.

Clear Quartz
Amplifies energy. Clears, cleanses, energises and aligns – can be programmed for any healing purpose.
Will even store healing thoughtforms and can be instructed to balance, stabilise and energise the entire
energy field of a client.
Helps the client access their innate spiritual nature (the soul) and therefore
impresses deep within the psyche the alignment required for wellness.
Holds the Power of White Light and therefore all the colours. Can
be used on any chakra for any healing purpose. Effective Cleanser.
Establishes presence of Spirit Guides, Angelic Realms, Devas
(or nature spirits, animal spirit guides and totems) and Healing
Energies in the aura.
Appropriate for all levels of being from physical, to karmic, to
emotional to mental and so forth. Can be used to strengthen
all positive thoughts and affirmations (affirmations can be
programmed into the crystal for healing intent and directed to
be sent to the subconscious mind of the ‘receiver’ on a daily
basis).

Smokey Quartz
Absorbs pain, negativity and density, allowing for a deep grounding of
negative energies so that they may be transmuted by the earth.
Excellent for work on grounding, abundance and security with the base
chakra (for those that are more comfortable living in their minds, heads or
imaginations). Assists with Manifestation & Abundance, excellent for clearing
depression & negativity, and could then be followed with Citrine and Rose Quartz
for joy, love and lightness to be restored to the aura. Highly Protective. Grounds &
Centres.
Revealing the Darkness – useful for Shadow & Unconscious Work, Accessing Past Lives &
Ancient Wisdom of the Soul – Facilitates Connection with Soul and all aspects of the psyche.

Apophyllite
A magnificent healing stone. She can be green, white or blue-ish in colour. The greenish – white
combinations are wonderful for developing your ability to channel messages from your guides and open
your heart & crown centres to higher healing energy. It has a soothing quality to it – like a cool, refreshing
glass of water.
Wearing or simply placing the stone around the perceptive chakras will develop deeper intuitive
knowing and build a bridge between you and your Soul and as a result, allow for deeper spirit
communication – especially between you and the angelic realms.

Malachite
A powerful physical healer. Assists in clearing depression and
accessing the heart. Excellent to use on the solar plexus. Can be
quite dense and heavy and you may need some time to attune to its
energy – particularly if you are more used to working with ‘lighter’
energies like clear quartz or apophyllite. It has a high copper content
and should not be used internally via ‘elixirs’ as it is toxic to the
system.
Expensive. Increasingly rare and needs regular cleaning.
Will absorb negativity and assist with restructure of the
nervous system. Can help protect the heart, and if you
are drawn to it, will often be in need of psychic space
and protection for yourself.
Very grounding and also quite useful to inspire
abundance, trust and security to the base chakra,
clearing scarcity, fear and negativity that close off our
ability to receive help, support and sustenance in varied
forms (such as love, opportunity, financial and material support,
creative inspiration, healing relationships and so forth) from the
Universe.

Celestite
Excellent throat centre healer. Pale blue and the stone of angelic
communication. Helps open the throat and intuitive awareness and
works extremely well in conjunction with apophyllite.
Set in a healing environment will assist with establishing the refined
and peaceful energies of angels, higher realms of light and healing.
Invocative to the Archangels generally. Will raise sacral energies and direct them towards the
higher creativity of the throat. Therefore helpful in assisting one learn how to speak one’s feelings
and truth.

Rose Quartz
The heart healer. Abundance. Trust. Love. Connection with Spiritual Wisdom and Self-Love through the
heart. Opening to your own inner world.
Healing for grief, depression and body hatred or other addictive tendencies to do with issues of self-love
(such as alcoholism, eating disorders, cigarette smoking and so on).
Pink in colour – from pale, almost white pink to deep rose. Works on the heart charka and opens us up
to forgiveness and unconditional love. A gentle, but powerful worker – heals depression, anxiety, anger
and bitterness over time and regular exposure.
Will also work on softening the energies of the base chakra in cases of extreme resentment or anger,
where stimulating stones would exacerbate the problem and the energies of the centre need to be
transmuted with love. Combining with amethyst in this situation would be helpful and effective.

Lapis Lazuli
Use on the head centres for wisdom and attunement to Spirit Guides and Past Lives, especially those
from Egypt and the Middle East. Temple of the Stars. Rich Royal Blue, sometimes with gold flecks (when
sourced from Afghanistan). Facilitates clairvoyant & intuitive opening. Soothing and cooling when placed
on the forehead.
Assists with integrating new knowledge and inspiration. Great for students. Helps with
remembering dreams. Opens up the imaginative faculty and allows for greater meditative
visions. Healing. Balancing. Helps align the head centres away from our little will and sense
God’s greater plan, the life purpose and life path of each individual.

Carnelian
Works on the physical and emotional body. Helps integrate sexuality, emotions, and the
shadow. Promotes creativity. Protective and grounding. Warming, opening and invigorating
to the energy system. Adds power, energy and
support to the chakras.
Helps heal issues around anger and guilt, and due
to its deep orange colour, is very healing to the
sacral chakra and assists in learning to feel our
feelings and source our security from within.

Fluorite
Can be many colours – the most common include
green, purple and a combination of green, purple and
clear in the one piece. A stone of wisdom and higher
mental development (along with Pyrite).

comes in various colours including black,
green and aqua. It is a wonderful stone to
assist with opening the heart (green) and
the ananda khanda centre (aqua) which is
about mass communications, public speaking
and getting your ‘message’ out to the world. Helps
dissolve energy cords and clear the aura. Helps you
see things more clearly. Can be placed on the chakras

obsidian is very protective, whereas the blue and green
shades are more cleansing.

make it practical (again – balances and strengthens the base chakra). High iron content makes it useful
for all blood related conditions.

A SIMPLE PROCESS FOR
A CRYSTAL CHAKRA HEALING
Invoke your Angels, Guides and Soul. Ask for the Highest Good to be done through you.
I also like to invoke other Beings of Light that I work with and the Guides of my client.
Often healings are quite different from client to client because their souls are so different and therefore
their guidance is so different. That means that each healing is unique and I will often be guided to use
different techniques for different clients.

Intuit which chakra(s) you are drawn to work on

As you develop your abilities, you will start to sense the chakra system as a whole and realise that work
on one chakra affects the others in the body. You will then work on a number of chakras at any given
time, although you may choose to focus on one more so than the others.
An experienced practitioner will work holistically through your entire energy system so that you are
balanced and aligned at the end of the session. It takes time to be aware of subtleties at this level and it
can be best to build your intuitive awareness by focusing on one centre at a time initially.
For example, let us say that a client is coming to you with headaches. If you intuited that those headaches
were coming from constant anxieties and worries, you may choose to focus on the solar plexus first and
the head centres second. If those headaches were coming from hormonal imbalances, you may choose
to focus on the sacral, base and solar plexus centres and then on the head centres. If the headaches
were related to unexpressed anger or fear, you would focus on the base centre, the heart and the head
and so forth.

Determine the needs of the chakra(s) in question

Does the chakra need energising, calming, balancing, aligning or simply cleansing?
You can determine the needs of the centre by using etheric touch to sense depth, quality & size.
Remember that all the centres relate to each other – so when you alter the energies of one centre, the
others will also be affected and may need to be rebalanced again.
Intuit the crystal required for the chakra in question (according to colour or general properties)
If a centre needs cleansing, you may choose a crystal with deep cleansing properties like fluorite or
smokey quartz, which both absorb pain, density and negativity. They will need to be well cleansed after
the session. Another choice may be Amethyst which transmutes negativity into its higher forms.
If a centre needed energising, you may choose a rutilated quartz, clear or smokey quartz or garnet.
If a centre needed aligning and rebalancing you may choose a calcite in an appropriate colour for the
chakra in question, and you may even wish to combine crystals, using two or three in formation around
the chakra or removing and replacing crystals throughout the healing session.

Intuit the shape of crystal required for your purpose
This may be a small tumbled stone to be carried in a pouch or pocket, a pyramid or generator to build
power, or perhaps a crystal wand or cluster to cleanse a chakra, or a sphere to bathe the aura in the
energies of the crystal in question.

Intuit where the crystal is best placed or directed for the healing
Does the crystal need to work on an etheric, physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level in particular?
If so, whereabouts in the auric body should it be placed? Or should it be rested directly on the physical
body?
Sensing how clear the aura is will affect your judgement here – the clearer the aura, the easier it will be
for the crystal energies to permeate into the chakras and do their work. Spraying the aura with a sea salt,
amethyst elixir and lavender and sandalwood essential oils mixture will help cleanse the aura, break up
negativity and transmute it into a more refined form of energy, making your healing work more effective.

Intuit what program the crystal needs for the healing

You may want to guide the crystal to cleanse, energise, or align the recipient’s energies with the heart,
just as some examples. Always state, “for the highest good” when setting such intentions.

Sense how long the crystal needs to be applied, carried or directed to the
affected area
Trust your intuition on this one. Scan or sense the chakras and aura. Ask your client for feedback,
remembering that sometimes the effects of a healing are not noticed until minutes, hours or even days
later (although most clients will be sensitive enough to register the changes in their energy field almost
immediately – even if they do not fully understand what has taken place or how it has done so).
Seal up the chakras with Violet or Blue Light, surround the aura in Gold, Violet or Blue Light (using
visualisation) and say your final prayers of thanks to Spirit. Carry the intention for protection and to seal
in the effects of your healing work. So be it!

I wish you every joy in your work with these beautiful

companions on the lightworker’s path.
