Tips/Techniques:  Healing with Quartz Crystal Points
Source: Peggy Jentoft  http://pjentoft.com/f-23-healing-with-crystals.html

There are many ways to use crystals in healing for self and others. My suggestion is that we all
explore many techniques and share our experiences in order to develop a more definitive text on
these methods.  However there will not ever be a uniform absolute system for doing crystal
treatments.  We are all different and different things will work better for some than for than others
and different people will need to find personal preferences for working with the crystals.

Before you use crystals in treatment remember that these are not substitutes for medical or
psychological treatment when it is called for. Crystal healing is complementary and supportive of
conventional treatments. All healing is self healing, we use the crystals as tools and companions
on our healing path.

Crystals can transmit crystal energy, other healing energies and /or amplify chi or energies
generated or tuned into by intention or intuitive reception. Many people use the crystal to amplify a
healing intention by calling in love with the idea that any time you wish a person well you create a
flow of healing energy.

Mental intention must follow the rules of affirmation, focus on the positive effect you want rather
than the "problem ".  Do not attempt to will a particular condition healed by force.  Allow the
energies channeled by the crystal to do the work. Use only positive terms in your intentions,
affirmations, spells and healing prayers or whatever form you use, "be well" rather than "don't be
sick" for example.  This is a critical point.  You must describe the desired healing rather than the
problem. You can not force a particular result.

Methods of working with Crystals for Healing

The numbers below are just there so that if anyone has questions it will be a bit easier to tell us
which method they are asking about.

1.  The most usual way of working with crystals and stones is to simply hold a crystal or crystals
chosen intuitively for the desired purpose. When we choose from a crystal properties book we will
still use our intuition. One method is to simply hold the stone you have chosen for ten to twenty
minutes. Another is to  sit with the chosen  crystals and stones around you.
Some sources suggest that if possible you do this four times a day. Do not disturb your sleep to do
a personal crystal healing treatment.  People often carry stones with them throught  their daily
activities.

Quartz crystal points can be used to direct energy either toward or away from a body depending on
where the point is facing. or by intending the direction of flow.


2. There are also many different ways to hold or move the crystals. Some healing session you may
feel called to  move from place to place on the body holding the crystal still at each place. Others
times you may  sweep through the entire aura in long strokes first down then upwards.  Others use
spirals, circles or infinity ( figure eight) loops to move the energies.  Figure eight loops seem
particularly effective in my experience.  Spiraling upwards over each chakra point or the place being
treated and then spiraling inward is one common pattern. Usually counter clockwise is used for up
and out and clockwise for in and down.


3. Some people painstakingly trace the meridian lines with crystal points, stopping over major
acupuncture points. I had never had the patience to do this for years but have done so now. The
book "Energy Medicine" by Donna Eden and David Fienstien  has simplified charts for meridian
tracing.  It is easier to do this for otherr than for yourself.  I have sometimes self treated by holding a
wand point over the pubic bone then up to just below the lower lip repeating three times. This is
said to balance the conception channel.  People who have knowledge of acupuncture ,
accupressure or other method which uses these points or similar ones may wish to experiment
with using crystals rather than needles or pressure .

4  Using a single terminated point, a laser wand or a carved wand. You can visualize the point of
the crystal as holding a sticky charge with which to pull out stagnant or congested energy and
energy that does not belong to the person being treated. Intend that any such energy be
automatically cleansed and restored to its proper place . You can either change crystals or use a
quick clearing method (such as shakti or breath) before going over the same areas with the wand
in a smoothing and balancing stroke. You can run energy into any area that feels depleted .

5 You may want to hold one crystal in each hand. A clear crystal point in your dominant hand to use
over body areas and another crystal in the receptive hand that represents the effects you wish to
promote. Perhaps rose quartz for treating emotional pain and adding loving energy or rutilated
quartz for nerve and tissue healing for example. You then move the dominant hand crystal through
the energy field from top down .Some people prefer to start point out sweeping down in small
cleansing swoops like combing or circles around the body from side to side and then return point
in upwards in the same way.

Many systems seem to recommend that you start at the top and work down. I have found systems
that work from the feet up too. I like working from the feet up a lot of the time but some have been
taught that only work from the top down is "safe" I have had no problems with safety issues but
would not use a modality on a person who was uncomfortable with the idea.

6 Ao circuit
This method follows the path of a set of energy centers used in the ancient Hawaiian Huna
Traditions. It is effective for promoting spiritual, emotional, mental ,harmony.
Hold the crystal over the
a. crown for a moment or two this is the will center (ao)
continue from point to point holding the crystal over each point for a moment or two.
b. Move to over the right eye this is the time (ao)
c. Next is the right shoulder in and up from the armpit about an inch or two this is the venturing or
ao of beginnings.
d. At the point where the hipbone joins the right leg - action
e. At the pubic bone -anchoring
f. left hip- contemplation
g.- right shoulder -appreciation
h. right eye - justice balance
i. heart - love end by moving up to the crown and move the crystal around the outer body four times.  

7. Take a single point or wand crystal in hand, while it is more standard to use point in to give
energy and point out to remove it you can also direct energy either way through the point using the
intention combination of fill ,remove or in ,out or push pull or clean and seal .
Ground and center intend that your work be in the highest good and safe in all ways .
You might like to scan your body (in self treatment) or the receiving being first to feel for areas that
are blocked , over or under energized or give some other indication that work is needed.

8. When you personally sense that you have congested energy.  One self treatment method is to
hold a crystal point out in your right hand to the side and down put your left hand over your heart and
allow the congested energy to flow out into the earth (where it is transformed and returned to its
proper source) You then change hands and with the crystal point in allow it to bring in healing
energy .

9. Seated treatment: Stand to the side of seated recipient with a receptive crystal in left hand held at
back top of head. Projective crystal in right hand at front top of head. Move the crystals downward to
each chakra. Move them in and out to stimulate and balance the chakra. These do not have to be a
particular kind of crystal just designate one receptive and the other projective. Some people like to
use a milky crystal as the receptive crystal  and a clear crystal as the projector.  Some use a rose
quartz  (carved wand usually,  as natural rose quartz crystal points are usually tiny ) and a smoky
quartz for this method. You can also use this as a chakra balancing method without considering
either crystal as limited to projecting or receiving as either can push or pull ( suck and blow ) as
needed to clear balance and harmonize the chakra and energy body.. This is cleanse and fill at
each step.    You can also do this with the recipiant laying down.

10. Start at the crown, hold the point at the crown sweep the crystal through the aura in an upward
spiral. Pause at the top and spiral back. Clear quartz can be used to simply magnify all healing
efforts. Try holding a point in your hand as you scan the aura (point facing out), Then face the point
in as you send healing and harmonizing energy.


11. This healing technique involves the use two clear quartz points. Sit at the feet of the person put
the point of the crystal in your right hand point in at the bottom of the persons left foot, and the point
of the crystal in your left hand pointing out at the bottom of  the patient's right foot. allow energy to
flow up through your right hand (persons left foot) and imagine it moving all through the body, up
the left side, and through and down the right side and out the right foot. Imagine a continuous circle
of energy going in and flowing out. visualize a smooth flow and balanced energy .Imagine all
blocks breaking up and dissolving . All unwanted energies will be washed out positive energies
are enhanced to restore vitality and well being .


12. You can sleep with a stone or two chosen to work on a healing issue. You can  put the crystal in
your pillow or beside the bed some people tape the crystals to their hand or elsewhere'  You
should preferably work only on issues that will not be likely to disrupt your sleep.

There are many more ways to work with quartz points in this kind of work but this seems like more
than enough for starters.
