Crystals, Stones, Minerals
to any energy healing modality. Since mankind has existed, we have had an affinity for collecting, displaying, and wearing stones and minerals found in the ground. Is it just a visual appeal or something more? Nearly every indigenous medicinal practice places some value on use of stones in some way. If use of stones and crystals resonates with you and your beliefs, this page may hold some value for you. Please consider the use of some of the books regarding stones I have listed on my Reading page. |
| One of my favorite references has been The Book of Stones by Robert Simmons & Naisha Ahsian. It is beautifully illustrated and filled with info to help the user understand their experience with various minerals. |

spirit when using selenite. Useful for reprogramming other stones
and crystals.

| I am often asked by my students what are my favorite crystals and stones. First, rather than follow my or anyone's preference for stone usage, this is a field of self-discovery. Do you even resonate with crystals or do their presence seem meaningless? You may not feel any attraction for them now, but may in the future. Or you may never feel a resonance with them at all. But for the many people, including myself, who are attracted to the use of crystals, this is a small guide. As far as specific types that I especially use during Reiki sessions, I use many, but the few that I always use include: Labradorite/Spectrolite Kyanite Selenite Tibetan Quartz |
Remember-
When taking anything from Mother Earth, be mindful. Ask
permission. Give thanks. Make some sort of exchange, leaving a gift.
We so often thoughtlessly take without thinking about it, but use this
opportunity to connect with and give back to the earth that has given
us so much... in fact, given us everything we have.
-- Thank you to my friend Patrysha for reminding me of this--
