Sensing Subtle Energy With Stones & Crystals
Developing Hand Sensitivity As you physically feel more subtle energies you also begin to develop a subtle sensing Learn to rely on this sensing Use the physical universe to test the legitimacy of what you have sensed intuitively. Uma Silbey from The Complete Crystal Guidebook
Sensing Your Own Energy Rub hands together Draw hands apart slowly Move hands in and out Repeat using a crystal & compare
Sensing Crystal Energy Point a terminated crystal at your palm Rotate the crystal point in small, slow circles If you do not feel the stone energy, try following he point with your eyes, holding the intention to sense the energy Most people find Quartz crystals easy to sense. Others feel stones like Moldavite or Hematite have stronger energy.
Crystal Journal Time! Keeping a crystal journal of your progress and experiences is very important fro growth Be sure to record similarities, differences, and unique happenings from each exercise you try
Discover Sending & Receiving Hands Each individual has an innate polarity, a type of inner balance. Our bodies take in energy from the universe and then return it to be renewed/ transmuted and used by other beings. Sending=Dominant (Writing) Receiving=Non-dominant Hold a crystal in right hand, note feelings; hold a crystal in left hand, note feelings; then compare May substitute magnets for clear quartz for another experiment with energy Don t forget to record your results in your journal
Using Pendulums Dowsing=the art of using a pendulum Crystal pendulums magnify energy and typically help to make results easy to read, interpret, and understand. A pendulum connects you with your higher self or higher consciousness and gives you a visual representation of what your subtle body already knows. Cleanse, cleanse, cleanse!!!
Pendulums for Healing Dowsing detects energy movement (especially in the aura & chakras) Hold between your thumb & pointer finger 3 away from electronics (preferable) May be programmed Clockwise=correct Counter-clockwise=incorrect Wild=overactive Slow=underactive No movement=stagnant
Dowsing is Subjective! The same movements won t mean the same thing to all people You need to work with your pendulum to learn what the movements mean for you as a healer You may be shown different movements with different pendulums or with different clients Practice makes perfect!
Using Your Pendulum: The Chakras Remain objective; your thoughts can easily interfere with the pendulum s movement Be sure your pendulum has been cleansed Ask which way the energy is moving, then ask which way the energy should be moving
Using Your Pendulum: The Aura Remain objective; your thoughts can easily interfere with the pendulum s movement Be sure your pendulum has been cleansed Start at feet & set pendulum to neutral (side to side) swing Note any areas where pendulum moves other than neutral as you walk around your client s body
Scanning the Aura Scan body prior to placing stones for a baseline energy reading Scan body after placing stones for a comparison of how the energy has shifted Scan close to and far from the physical body Turquoise has been placed to bring air energy into the body, Red Jasper helps to boost the immune system, and Amethyst relieves headache pain. This is a great layout for treating sinus congestion.
How to Scan the Aura: Hands Sensitize the hands by rubbing them together briskly for a few seconds Hold your receiving hand (or both hands) 2-3 above your client s physical body Typically begin at the feet and move toward the head in 3 passes (first the center over the chakra line, next the left, and then the right) Communicate what you feel
How to Scan the Aura: Crystal Egg Sensitize the hands Hold a crystal egg in your receiving hand (horizontally, like a comb) about 2-3 from your client s physical body Have your client stand in front of you and scan their energy field (beginning at the head and working toward the feet) along the center line, next along the left, then along the right Repeat for the back side of the body Communicate what you feel This is an Ocean Jasper Egg. Any stone can be used for scanning, but Quartz is typically recommended for its neutral energy.
Interpreting Your Scan Cold=Holes or leaks in the Aura Thick/Dense/Sticky=Blockages in the Aura Intense Heat=Overactive Energy Intense Tingling/Buzzing=Overactive Energy Remember, this is a GENERALIZATION and will be different for each healer (and sometimes for each client) COMMUNICATION IS KEY!
Why Aura Seeing? We all sense energy in different ways. Some people may be able to see energy better than they are able to feel it. Perform Seeing before you place stones for a baseline reading of energy. Perform Seeing after placing stones to see how the energy has changed. Be sure to check your aura too!
Aura Seeing Technique Choose a crystal to aid in Aura Seeing (intuitive choices are best, but when in doubt, Clear Quartz works well) Cleanse your crystal Program your crystal with the intent to enhance your aura seeing skills (optional) Hold the crystal in your sending hand, pointed toward your heart chakra (to amplify your own energy field)
Aura Seeing Technique (continued) Looking into a mirror, focus your attention on the area around your head (concentrate on the negative space around your physical body). Let your eyes go in and out of focus. Close your eyes for a moment and then re-open your eyes, trying to notice any colors in the area around your physical body (you may sense a color or see the aura with your psychic sight; it may appear transparent or opaque). Practice this technique up to three times per day. Keep a journal while training (Is there a time of day at which you are better able to see the aura? Are there certain times at which your aura tends to be the same color? Etc.). This is a helpful way to help track aura health and strength. Try the exercise using different types of crystals to see which works best for you Be sure to cleanse your crystal after each use.
Aura Seeing with a Partner Sit across from partner in a dimly lit room Each person should hold a cleansed crystal of their choice (it s optional to program your stone for aiding you in sensing your partner s aura or for projecting your own aura to aid them in sensing) Partners should relax & focus on breathing Attune to your partner (i.e. synchronize breathing, hold hands, etc.) Use technique as given before, except instead of looking into a mirror, you will look at your partner
Aura Color Interpretation Purple indicates spiritual growth & ascension. Blue represents peace and tranquility. Turquoise indicates compassion and empathy. Green represents health and healing. Yellow indicates happiness and joy. Orange represents creativity. Red indicates vitality and a zest for life. Pink indicates loving attitudes and behaviors. Indigo represents balance and harmony.
Intuiting Color Energy from Stones Become comfortable & focus on breathing Reach into a bag of mixed stones and choose one (or have a partner place one in your hand) Using your intuition, try to determine the color of the stone by sensing it psychically Open your eyes to check your answer How has seeing the stone s color changed your perception of its energy (if at all) Crystal Journal time!
Detecting Energy Changes in Programmed Stones Have a partner program a clear (colorless) stone with color energy Leaving your eyes open, try to intuit the color placed into the stone with the program Voice your intuitive guess to your partner and check to see whether or not you were correct
Crystal Breath Exercise The breath is the main source of life energy that is available to human beings. Through the breath life force is taken into the body. From this vital exchange of gases each individual has a personal interaction with the universe. On the inhale, we receive life energy, and on the exhale we give it back Becoming aware of the breath is one of the most effective ways of tuning into the moment. The breath exists in a state of constant presence (Katrina Raphaell, pages 21-22 of Crystal Healing, Volume 2). This is a great exercise to help calm young children.
