LAYING ON OF STONES-
The technique of using crystals and gemstones on the receiver's body for healing is called laying on of stones.
It is a powerful method of cleansing negative energy, clearing and balancing
the chakras, effecting emotional release,
and bringing light and healing into all the aura bodies. Cleared, programmed,
and dedicated stones move the receiver's
vibration into alignment with the planet and the universal grid. This results
in a freeing of life force energy in the chakras
and aura, a healing of the Body of Light, and a transformation of negative or
dis-ease into health. The process may be
done with clear quartz crystals only, colored gemstones only, or a combination
of both. The stones may be used alone
or with a hands on healing (ie;Reiki). The stones are placed upon the receiver's
body from feet to head. The healer then
begins using her hands as usual starting at the head and moving toward the feet.
(Use gemstones with colors matching each chakra's color. The stones can be in
any form—faceted, raw, tumbled, eggs, or beads.)
Energy in this type of healing needs to move in one
direction through the body, either Earth to sky or sky to Earth.
If the energy is Earth to sky, all the gemstones that have points are placed
with the points turned towards the receiver's
crown. The effect of this direction is to move the receiver's energy to a higher
vibration or more spiritual level.
If the direction is from sky to Earth, it is the opposite, with the crystals
pointing toward the feet. This direction moves life
force energy from crown to feet for grounding and rooting into Earth. To begin,
the receiver lies on her back on a padded
floor or massage table, with pillows under her head and knees for comfort. The
space should be quiet, comfortable, and warm.
Use only stones that have been dedicated to positive energy and programmed for
healing. Invite spirit guides and angels
into the session if you wish. Start by placing a clear quartz crystal above
her head and below her feet. In the right hand place another crystal and in
the left hand place a rose quartz gemstone. (my personal method). Then go chakra
by chakra,
moving from the feet to crown and placing the appropriate colored gemstone for
each center. (Be sure you have your healing stones spread out where you can
reach them easily.) There may be stones that you are drawn to for a particular
reason, let yourself be guided, there are no real rules. You cannot do it wrong.
A stone that is not needed for the session or is
inappropriate for the receiver's energy will roll right off or roll to another
place where it is better utilized. Allow this to occur.
If the receiver feels uncomfortable with a particular stone, remove it, the
energy is not right for her needs. In some cases
you may feel the stone has rolled off too soon, if your intuition is telling
you the stone's job is not complete, gently replace it.
When the stones are all in place, the healer has two options.
She (he) can go to the head and begin a hands on healing. Be sure to cover the
stones with your hands carefully in order
not to scatter the gemstones. While your hands are covering each chakra over
the stone, visualize the bright color of the gemstone entering the chakra, making
it appear bright, balanced, centered, and healthy. (If you could see chakras
they would appear as luminous wheels, circles, or disks. Each chakra is brightly
colored and are strung together like shiny beads all in a
row from your feet to your head.) Do this visualization until you feel confident
to move to the next chakra. Be sure to flick
fingers to release any negative energy before going to the next center. End
with a complete brushing of the aura.
The other option a healer has once the stones are placed is to sit beside
the receiver and simply wait, allowing the gemstones
and spirit guides to do the healing. As the receiver's chakras and aura absorb
and are balanced by the crystal and gem energies, the stones begin to roll off
one by one. When all the stones are off, or the receiver feels finished with
those that remain, the healing is over. End with a complete brushing of the
aura and allow the receiver to lie quietly without the stones. Ask for feedback
and discuss anything that you feel should be discussed.
While she is doing this, the healer can gather up the stones from the table or floor and clear them again before putting them away. Put them into your protective box.
A laying on
of stones healing can be quite intense.
There is often a major energy shift during this type of healing. More frequent
emotional releases, past life and this life trauma openings and other transformative
events. The healers role in this is to wait for the release to end and to be
entirely non-judgmental. After a session, there may also be a physical detoxification
process that can continue for up to a week.
Be aware of what is happening and again, allow it.
The changes are always positive and are usually gentle.
