Crystals and Reiki

Crystals and Reiki

Crystals have been used for healing and spiritual practices for centuries, and incorporating them into your Reiki practice can enhance the benefits you receive from the therapy. Reiki, a form of energy healing, works by channeling universal energy through the practitioner's hands to the recipient, with the goal of promoting physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Crystals, which are believed to have unique healing properties, can be used in conjunction with Reiki to amplify the energy and focus it on specific areas of the body or mind.

Before incorporating crystals into your Reiki practice, it's important to choose the right crystals for the specific needs of your client. Clear quartz, for example, is known for its ability to amplify energy and can be used to enhance the overall effects of Reiki. Amethyst, on the other hand, is known for its calming and soothing properties, and can be used to promote relaxation and stress relief. There are many other crystals with specific properties that can be used for various purposes such as rose quartz for emotional healing, black tourmaline for protection and grounding and so on.

When using crystals in your Reiki practice, it's important to properly cleanse and charge them before each session. Crystals can absorb and hold onto negative energy, so it's important to cleanse them before each use to ensure they are emitting positive energy. This can be done by placing them in sunlight or moonlight for a few hours, or by using sage or palo santo to smudge them. Once the crystals are cleansed, they can be charged by placing them on a selenite plate or holding them in your hands while visualizing white light flowing into the crystal.

During a Reiki session, crystals can be placed on or around the client's body to target specific areas of concern. They can also be held by the practitioner while performing Reiki on the client. For example, if the client is experiencing anxiety, an amethyst crystal can be placed on the client's forehead while the practitioner performs Reiki on the crown chakra. This will help to promote relaxation and balance the energy in the crown chakra.

Crystals can also be used to enhance the energy in the room during a Reiki session. Placing crystals around the room, such as selenite in the corners of the room to cleanse the energy, can help to create a peaceful and calming environment.

In conclusion, incorporating crystals into your Reiki practice can enhance the benefits received by the client and help to focus the energy on specific areas of concern. It's important to choose the right crystals for the specific needs of the client and to properly cleanse and charge them before each session. With proper use, crystals can greatly enhance the effects of Reiki and promote physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
