Level 2 Certificate in Crystal Healing
The majority of crystals are formed from super heated mineral rich gas, and water
released as the rock solidifies. These rise higher through crevices and cracks in rocks,
crystallising whenever the condition of temperature and pressure are right.
Crystals transmit and receive energies. They transmute and transform, attract certain
things and repel unwanted energies. The most powerful may appear dull – until the
beneficial effects are felt. They resonate at different frequencies, and the crystalline
structure of crystals means that they can absorb, focus, and then transmit subtle
electromagnetic energy, a quality used in crystal healing. Silicon is an important
component of both crystals and our bodies, and energy is transferred between the
two. Science has shown that if a crystal is placed in an energy field, it collects that
energy and contains it. It might change or transmute the energy in the process.
Using Crystals in healing is an extremely powerful and unique experience. It involves
the “laying on of stones” which is an ancient art that has been traced back to the lost
civilization of Atlantis, and this “energy medicine” has been used for centuries
throughout different cultures, religions and empires. Gems and crystals have been
used throughout the ages for medicinal purposes and as amplifiers for spiritual
energies. They can also be used to help natural healers to extend and enhance their
natural healing energy and all this is because of their unique affinity to the human
body’s etheric body.
Different crystals have different healing properties and when used appropriately can
help with healing particular complaints or disorders, whether on the physical,
emotional, mental or spiritual level.
The ability of crystals to focus energy means that they can be used for specific tasks,
such as directing healing energy to a point on the body, the etheric body or the bio4
energy field. Dis-ease and imbalance in the subtle body can be gently encouraged to
dissolve in order to restore balance, therefore encompassing a wide variety of
conditions that will respond to crystal healing treatments.
It is believed that crystals influence the subtle body – the energy that carries our life
force (known as Prana or Chi in the East), and it is this life force that is particularly
focused at energy centres called chakras. When crystals are placed on these chakras,
they can help to restore the balance of that particular energy centre and help to
restore better health and well being.
The earliest records of crystal healing come from ancient Egypt. References to these
practices can be found in the Ebers papyrus which refers to the medicinal uses of
many different gems and crystals. Healing with crystals is also part of the Indian
Ayurvedic medicine traditions, and it is also used in traditional Chinese medicine.
These traditions are over five thousand years old.
How Do Crystals Work?
Quartz crystals contain silica and water, similar to that of the human body. The skin
contains keratin, which is found around the energy field, and when keratin cells
divide they give off piezo electric energy. The smallest amount of crystal energy gives
off luminescence, acoustics, infra red and magnetism (piezo electric).
Piezo Electric -When a crystal is placed on the body and within the energy field there
is a piezo electric response due to the cell division. This response activates the crystal
and there is an interaction between the electric energy of the crystal and the electric
energy of the skin. Negative ions are produced which act on the electrochemical and
physiochemical side of the human body in order to stimulate healing. This ionic
balance helps with the interchange of minerals in the body.
If a chakra is imbalanced, it won’t take in the minerals that it needs, and therefore it
is unable to heal. Balancing the chakras with crystal energies will ensure that they are
able to absorb the minerals needed to return to a state of health and vitality. Crystals
contain the minerals and vibrations, to be absorbed by the body, which aid in this
healing process.
It is very often the case that when you are unbalanced in one area or another you are
drawn to a particular crystal. Crystals are unified vibrational centres and they
resonate with each individual in extraordinary ways. Every crystal or stone has
different properties, unique energies and vibrations, which are shared with the
receiver for the purpose of healing and for the elevation of consciousness.
Crystal Healing addresses all levels of our being. With crystal layouts the aura can be
cleansed; physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual blockages can be removed or
balanced; traumas can be released; and an opportunity to embrace spirituality is
created. Crystals are believed to act as amplifiers of spiritual energies and can be
5
used to help natural healers to extend and enhance their natural healing energy and
ability.
Choosing, Cleansing, Charging and Programming
Crystals
Choosing
Generally speaking, when choosing a crystal for personal use, you don’t choose the
Crystal, it chooses you! This is because crystals will vibrate with the frequencies or
resonance that we are giving off at that particular moment. It is important to pay
special attention to those stones that are particularly attractive to you. They are the
stones that are in tune with your current state of balance and energy within your
body. The stones that you find unappealing or are disinterested in are usually stones
that represent qualities or energies that you do not need at the present time, or those
that make you feel uneasy and out of your comfort zone. These stones may appeal to
you at a later date when your present imbalances have been restored. Never say
never!
Choosing crystals to work with in a healing capacity is a little different. Sometimes
when your senses are in tune, you will be drawn to a crystal to place on a particular
area or chakra, because your inner senses/intuition are guiding you. There are
however, specific crystals that can be used to help with particular disorders and
imbalances of the human body, whether it be on an emotional, mental or spiritual
level. Getting to know your crystals, their qualities and which chakras they resonate
best with is an essential part of effective crystal healing.
Cleansing Crystals
It is really important to remember that after choosing a crystal, you need to wash it.
Crystals pick up, store and amplify thought vibrations and so while they are being
transported, bought and placed into retail stores for you to purchase, they are picking
up and storing the vibrations of anyone that is handling them. Therefore, before you
use a crystal on yourself or anyone else, it is essential that the crystal has been
cleansed of all negative energies or patterns. The same applies to the crystal after it
has been used for healing purposes. It must be cleansed, recharged and
reprogrammed ready for its next use.
If you purchase a crystal that has mud, sand, oils or other debris on it then it is
important that you clean it with a dry soft brush first to remove as much of the
contamination as you can. Once this has been done it should be washed in soapy
water to remove any remaining residue. Note – Be careful if the crystal feels quite
soft as some crystals are not as hard as others and some, such as Wulfrenite, would
6
break away and dissolve in water – this is a particularly soft crystal which is held
together with a tight matrix of hardened mud. Once all traces of impurities are
removed, or as much as you feel you can get off, you need to place the crystal under
running water and purify it with intention.
Most crystals that are purchased through retailers are tumbled stones or stones that
are sufficiently robust that they can be cleansed in the traditional way. Be careful
however with stones such as Chrysocolla, this is quite a soft stone and can be easily
broken or chipped.
Remember - Remove static residue, cleanse with intention and clarity to help energy
shifts to take place. This brings about a change of consciousness of the crystal.
Here are some different tips on how to cleanse your crystals:
1. Water and Sun method: Firstly make sure that the crystal you are
cleansing is not water soluble. Hold your crystal under running water and
imagine a white light gradually surrounding and filling up the whole crystal.
Hold the intention in mind to cleanse this crystal of all impurities and
negative energies and ask the Universal Energy (Chi) to transmute all negative
and unwanted energies into positive energies. Once cleansed, place the crystal
in the sun to charge it with Universal energy. It may be left on a windowsill or
anywhere where the sun’s energy can reach it. Be careful not to expose
Amethyst to the sun for more than a day as it will fade quite quickly when left
out too long.
2. Dry Sea Salt: This method has been in use for centuries and has the ability
to draw out negative imbalances. The idea is to bury the crystal in the salt and
leave it for around 24 hours. After removing the crystal it is important to
throw the salt away. Sea Salt water can also be used but this is only
appropriate for harder crystals. Note- some stones can be damaged by salt
and, with crystals such as quartz, salt is difficult to wash away after cleansing
as it gets into the crevices and re-crystallizes. Softer stones such as Angelite,
Chrysacolla, Coral, Pearl, Rhodochrosite, Selenite, Amber, Calcite and Azurite
could become dull and damaged with this method.
3. Visualization: This method is particularly useful if you have no other
resources available in which to cleanse your crystal. It requires that you
visualise your crystal filled with bright light, water rushing over it, or a fire
burning away all of the negative energies. You need to do this with your eyes
closed, breathing in deeply and rhythmically, and with intention as you
7
imagine the stone being cleared. Stop when you see in your mind’s eye that the
crystal is clean and restored to its natural state and beauty
4. Crystal Clusters: You can place single stones on crystal clusters such as
Quartz or Amethyst and leave overnight; however it is important that the
cluster itself has been cleansed prior to this. You can also place your crystal in
the centre of a circle of clear Quartz points, pointing towards the centre of the
circle and the crystal to be cleansed.
5. Smudging: You can clear away unwanted energies through any kind of
aromatic smoke. You can use incense sticks such as Frankincense, Sweetgrass,
Cedar and Sandalwood. Using a Sage smudge bundle is also a great way of
clearing away not only negative energies and imprints from the crystals, but as
a purification ritual throughout the house. It is particularly good if you are
cleansing a number of crystals at the same time. With this method you fan the
incense over the crystals with a feather for around 3-7 minutes using your
intention to purify and clear the crystals. Try not to use your hand as a fan. As
the smoke rises, it pulls out and takes the negative energies away from the
crystal. By passing your hand in this smoke you will transfer these negative
energies onto yourself. Once done, smudge yourself to clear your own
negative energies, especially your hands, as they are handling the crystals.
6. Sound: Sound vibration is also a very successful and quick method of
cleansing your crystals. A bell, gong, singing bowl, or tuning fork are very
effective methods of purifying their surroundings. If you have a singing bowl
then place the stones that you wish to cleanse into the bowl. Strike the bowl
or rub along the rim and the vibration will cleanse the stones within minutes.
If using a bell, gong or tuning fork, strike them next to the crystals that you
wish to cleanse and move the sound over and around them.
7. Gem essence Purifiers: Some retailers stock essences such as ‘Crystal
Clear’ which are very useful in the cleansing and purifying process. With this
method, you would run the crystals under water and ask for cleansing of
negative energies. Once cleansed you would place the crystals into a bowl of
water with a few drops of the Crystal Clear Essence. Leave the crystals in the
water for 12 hours on the windowsill, or outside on a sunny day. You can also
use Rescue Remedy.
8. Air: Holding your crystal in the wind and blowing on it with intention to
remove negative energies another way of cleansing delicate crystals such as
Wulfrenite and Azurite.
It is important to remember that whichever method you use to cleanse a crystal, you
must always do it with the intention to cleanse and purify it of all negative energies
or impurities.
8
Charging Crystals
Charging involves the building up of energy which will activate the full potential of
the crystals energy system
1. Visualise the crystal being charged with light and love
2. Place on a white cloth in the sun (6hrs at least) or in the light of a full moon
3. Place on a crystal cluster or under a pyramid
4. Affirmations
5. Water – Leave hanging in a bag by a stream, waterfall or anywhere where the
water is moving for a few hours
6. The Deva’s – Take the crystals into the woods , forest or anywhere where there
may be Deva’s (nature spirits) and ask for their assistance in charging the
crystals
Programming Crystals
Crystals have a powerful memory bank once static residue is removed. They vibrate
with electrical pulses which process information according to the structure of the
molecular spiral latticework.
When programming crystals, it is vital that you do it with Intention and that you ask
the crystal permission to open up part of its matrix to receive the program. Do this
with honour and respect because you are changing its structure. Energise the
crystal’s molecular latticework with Positive Energy. Quartz is able to interact with
our thoughts and, in so doing, forms the programme.
Charging involves the building up of energy activating the full potential of the
crystal’s energy spectrum. Programming focuses that energy in the direction of intent
to heal and use for the Highest Good.
The Subtle Bodies
9
The Bio-Energy Field consists of fine energy lines that are very structured and which
holds and binds us together. Its function is to transfer the life force energy from the
intelligence/universal energy to the physical form. It is the connecting link between
the physical, emotional and mental vehicles, so all these fields of energy act as a
transducer, thus stepping energy down - A very complex process. All frequencies will
affect the Auric field. The Bio Energy holds and binds us together all around the
body.
The Bio Energy Field
The Etheric Body
Physical form
Etheric Body
Emotional Body
Mental Body
Asral Body
Spiritual Body
The Etheric Body: (Blue/Grey)
This is the first layer and it vitalizes the physical form and is a receiver assimilator,
and transmitter of energies. It appears as a bright luminous web of lines that stand
out at right angles to the surface of the skin, and has colours that are pale blue –
violet – grey. It is slightly different from the rest of the aura as it does not transmit a
wave of consciousness to the physical brain, but is directly linked to the meridian
system. The meridian system is an interface between the etheric and the physical
form. The unit formed by the etheric body is the most important embodiment of
mankind as it connects the physical world with the subtle dimensions, and through
these bodies our main 5 senses are able to function. It is understood that etheric
channels run parallel to the Nervous System, and blocks or mental patterning at
these levels would diminish the energy flow over the chakras where these blocks are
situated. The etheric body is the closest to the physical body and considered to be the
blueprint upon which the cells and organs are built, so that an imbalance or
weakness in the etheric areas would eventually manifest itself on the physical level.
The Emotional Body: (Multi coloured as in Astral Body)
10
Up to this point we have discussed phenomena which are linked to the physical body
and whose function is to energize or stabilize the body and to affect its cellular
growth. The emotional Body, which forms a second layer, is the strongbox where we
hold our feelings and emotional expressions; the emotional body is the seat of all
human emotions. Our emotions are very important to us as they have a deep and
complex relationship to our well being. Imbalances in our emotions are mostly due to
an imbalanced energy flow from the chakras and the emotional astral bodies. The
Astral Body has a strong connection to our emotional being and a strong link to the
physical mind in relationship to disease. These bodies are fast moving and roughly
follow the outline of, and extend further than, the etheric body. The structure is not
fixed but changes continuously according to our state of mind and emotional state.
The emotional body guards our emotional and psychological stability against
disturbing influences which may be emanating from those around us. The colours
surrounding the emotional body will vary according to our mood and emotions.
The Mental Body: Yellow (knowledge) Golden (Wisdom)
The mental body, which forms the third layer, deals with expression through
thoughts and mental processes. They are bodies of a higher vibrational frequency
which help us to express our intellect. Like all other bodies, the mental body links to
the physical form through its corresponding chakra. The physical form is situated
over the main endocrine glands and feeds energy into the astral, emotional and
etheric bodies. Any emotional block would have a direct impact on the physical level
as it would block the mental energy from stepping down. The thought patterns exist
as bright shapes visible to a sensitive observer, and it is through this observation that
we interpret information. The mental body, which expands during concentration, is
the home of thought patterns and belief.
The Astral Body: (Multi coloured but cloudier than emotional
body)
The astral body is the fourth layer, and although it resembles the emotional layer it is
finer and more subtle in colouring. The Astral Body is the energy layer that contains
the core of our personality, and is the boundary layer between personality and
spiritual awareness. It represents relationship to others in general. The astral body is
the direct result, or a reflection of, our emotional states. We can see great emotional
storm clouds building in the aura of those suffering emotional distress; such
emotional energies can either be constructive or very destructive.
11
The Casual, Soul and Spiritual Bodies: (Varying blues, darker
blues and violets)
This fifth layer is seen as very fine energy lines, and is said to be the gateway to
higher spiritual dimensions. It is perhaps best thought of as a hologram of the self
and multi dimensional. The Casual, Soul and Spiritual Bodies intermingle with
Universal Energies and consciousness. These bodies maintain the individuality of
each person and are related to the idea of the higher self, higher consciousness and
spirituality.

Nadis – This is the point where energy
lines from the chakra crosses meridian
With reference to the diagram above – The Nadi is very important in our
energy system. It is where the energy lines cross the Meridians and form acupuncture
points. Meridians can be read 4-6” away from the body and are not only in the body
but in the outer field.
The Nadi manifests as spokes of energy lines which form petals and cross meridian
lines

All Meridians go through the Nadi Cross
Any dis-ease will first manifest itself on the energy body before it manifests in the
physical body; this is a phenomenon that has been scientifically proven. In the
energy body, there are energy centres (3-4” in diameter) called Chakras that control
and energise all the organs of the visible physical body. They may be likened to
miniature power stations, supplying vital energy to all of the organs. When Chakras
break down, or start to malfunction, the corresponding organs will begin to suffer. It
is therefore important, where disease or disorders are associated with particular
chakras, to revitalize and rebalance the chakra in order to aid healing and restore
proper function, not only to the chakra, but also to the affected organ/organs. If a
chakra is blocked or imbalanced, it will be incapable of taking in and absorbing the
minerals that it needs, and therefore it will not be able to heal.
The human body has 7 major Chakras – The Crown, The Brow (often referred to as
the 3rd eye), Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral (belly button area), Base/Root (base
of the spine).
Each Chakra is made up of these levels
Life Energies – Petals of intelligence,
daily energy fluctuation
Emotions
Love aspects. Less active
Mind
Will aspects, minor
activity
Bindu/Primal point
Spiritual
The Gateway to other dimensions
14
Central Core – expelled into energy field – looks like a vortex
that takes energy right into the spinal column, into nervous
system, into electro magnetic field
Petals – energy taken in
returns through the
meridian system, back to the
core and is then expelled
into the energy field
Structure of a Chakra
Energy System Linkage
If there is a problem, for example following an accidental fall, the following sequence
of events through the energy system linkage will normally occur:
1. The chakra becomes distorted
2. The blockage expands to another level/body
3. This same block can link together to different levels/bodies on a different
chakra
Associated Routes/Linkage for blockages
Crown – Heart
Brow – Heart
Root – Throat & Solar Plexus
The Seven Major Chakras of the Body
15
1. First Chakra - The Base/Root Chakra
The Colour associated with this first Chakra is Red.
It is located at the base of the spine and is the foundation upon which every other
body system relies upon for their stability and primary source of usable energy. The
Base Chakra is linked to the Adrenal Glands, both of which focus on the survival of
the individual. Its element is Earth, and it is the plug that links us to the main supply
of universal energy. Blockages or stress in the Base Chakra can lead to feelings of
nothingness, pointlessness and inability to achieve goals. The Base chakra is the core
through which we can manifest our desires and dreams, and is therefore the centre of
grounding for the individual.
Stress can be created through worry and our inability to have control over situations;
it is the base chakra that can be useful in controlling the build up of stress in our
lives. The Base chakra is the centre that gives us a sense of perspective, and has the
ability to ground excess energy as well as to assimilate energy. When treated with the
appropriate crystals, we are able to become more grounded, release our emotional
tensions and relax and focus on the present moment, thereby increasing our vitality
and optimism.
Functions – Gives Vitality to the physical body, survival and sexuality
Glands/Organs – Adrenals, kidneys, spinal column, legs, bones, bladder, circulation,

2. 2nd Chakra – The Sacral Chakra
The Colour associated with this second Chakra is Orange.
The Sacral chakra is associated with enjoyment, sensuality, intimacy, sacred truth,
energy and creativity. On the front of the body, it is situated on the lower abdomen,
between the naval and the pubic bone at the centre of the pelvis. This chakra is all
about non judgemental, spontaneous enjoyment. On a physical level it is related to
tension in the lower back, digestive problems of the lower intestine, bladder or
kidney trouble. Menstrual pain and irregular periods are also associated with this
chakra and it is in the area where we often hold emotional responses, anxiety and
fears.

and reproductive energy. Use with Ruby
 Sandalwood – oil which resonates in its higher frequencies with the crown
centre. Use with Citrine
3. 3rd Chakra – The Solar Plexus
The Colour associated with this third Chakra is Yellow.
The Solar Plexus represent clarity and motivates us to bring about change. It gives us
the will and ability to form our lives in a powerful and effective way. It is located
between the base of the rib cage and the naval, and covers major areas of digestion,
our immune system, nervous system and skin. It is the Chakra where characteristics
such as self confidence, spontaneity, flexibility, joy, laughter and sense of humour are
reflected.
Functions – It is the centre of personal power, ambition, intellect, astral force, desire
and emotions based on intellect and touch. Related to self-esteem, confidence and
will.

lack of confidence, nervous disorders, insecurity
Associated essential oils and crystals;
 Vetivert – Protects and balances – Use with Yellow jasper/black tourmaline
 Juniper – Cleanser – Use with Sulphur
(This combination can be used on the base, sacral and solar plexus chakras)
4. 4th Chakra – The Heart Chakra
The Colour associated with this fourth Chakra is Green
The Heart Chakra is located at the centre of the chest and is the midpoint of the
whole chakra system. Complete wellness begins and ends with the balance within the
heart and it is this chakra that is concerned with the balance of relationships on all
levels and in all areas. A balanced heart chakra will promote a sense of calm,
tolerance, friendliness and openness and the ability to accept one’s personal space as
well as the personal space of others. It is the area where we are able to assimilate and
understand the needs of others, without allowing our own personal needs to interfere
with our well being through feelings of being ignored or over looked. We have a clear
direction and we are grounded and content.
If there is an imbalance in the Heart Chakra we can develop feelings of
possessiveness, jealousy, insecurity, coldness and a lack of emotion. We seek control
and power and exhibit intolerance, cruelty and insensitivity due to a lack of
resonance with others. We can also feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility for
other people’s welfare, leading to self sacrifice and feelings of guilt. This undermines
our sense of self-worth and can result in our being manipulated or exploited by
others.
The Heart Chakra is the strong hold of all of our feelings, hopes, dreams and
emotions, and when fully balanced, calm and harmony are restored and the entire
chakra system works in harmony.
Functions – it is the centre which vitalizes the heart, thymus, circulatory system,
cellular structure and involuntary muscles
19
Glands/Organs – Heart, ribs, chest cavity, lower lungs, blood, circulation, skin,
hands, thymus, Immune system
Element – Air
Shape – Equal armed cross
Gems/Minerals –Kunzire, Rose Quartz, Rhodochrosite, Green Jade, Emerald, Pink
Tourmaline, Malchite, Aventurine, Green Calcite, Rhodonite, Rubellite
Foods – Green vegetables, dark leafy greens
Sensory function – Touch
Main Issues – Love and balance between being loving and willing in relationships –
our heartstrings. Finding our passion and following our heart - the balance of giving
and receiving. Forgiveness of self and others.
Keynotes/Lessons – The centre of compassion, love, group consciousness and
spirituality associated with a “oneness” with “all that is”. It provides for
desegregation between the loving energy of the heart and the analytical energy of the
intellect.
Common illnesses/Physical Dysfunction – main causes of damage could be
emotional instability in childhood that could lead to unhealthy relationships in
adulthood. Palpitations, arterial fibrillation/damage to heart tissues in general
Associated essential oils and crystals;
 Rose – The essence of love and identifies the loving energy of the heart. It is
deeply healing when the heart is holding grief – Use with Rose Quartz or
Kunzite for children
 Bergamot – This oil opens the heart centre and will help the love vibration to
radiate outwards – Use with Watermelon Tourmaline
 Melissa – Though not green in colour, it has a green aroma and can be used
for grief and separation. It can also be invaluable where there is some
blockage of energy at the solar plexus and heart chakras – Use with Rose
Quartz
 Black Pepper – This oil, along with Sage, is a mover and shifter of energy, an
emotional purger – Use with Malachite
5. 5th Chakra – The Throat Chakra
The Colour associated with this fifth Chakra is Light Blue
20
The Throat Chakra is found in the neck at the base of our throat, above the collar
bone. It is related to the Thyroid and parathyroid glands, which are situated on either
side of the windpipe, and also to the upper chest, throat, mouth and jaw areas, and
the nose and ears.
It is the Chakra mainly concerned with communication and expression as well as
with creativity, as that of the Sacral Chakra. (The Sacral Chakra relates to the
exploration of possibilities and inclination to create, whereas the Throat Chakra
relates to expression and verbalization of the desire). A blockage in the fifth Chakra
usually culminates in a lack of communication and expression, which can be the
result of a sore throat, a stiff neck, shoulders and jaw, and sometimes if expression is
suppressed on a higher level, a complete loss of voice. The ability to express ones
feelings or desires is greatly affected by the health and balance of the Throat Chakra
and is closely related to the Heart Chakra where feelings on all levels of relationships
are concerned. The inability to express and feel emotions at a deeper level can lead to
feelings of isolation and withdrawal and, on the other end of the scale, can result in
frustration and discomfort because one is unable to communicate one’s true feelings.
The Throat Chakra focuses on refining thoughts and desires, establishing clear
understanding, integrating security and trust, and the giving and receiving of
energies in relationships.

6. 6th Chakra – The Brow Chakra/3rd Eye
The Colour associated with this sixth Chakra is Dark Blue/Indigo
The Brow Chakra is situated on the forehead about one finger breadth above the
eyebrows, and is concerned with perception, understanding and the analysis of
reality. It is more passive than the throat chakra in that it is more inward looking
rather than expressive in nature. As it is directly linked to the eyes and the working of
the brain, the Brow Chakra is responsible for making sense of information received
from the sensory organs. It is in this area where we analyse and interpret
information, and it is the centre for making plans and receiving intuitive responses.
The Brow Chakra focuses on our view of reality giving us greater insight and
inspiration. It is this area where we experience ecstasy and higher concepts in
exchange or with the interplay of ideas. It is also the centre where we endeavour to
open, activate and enhance our subtle visionary skills such as that in Clairvoyancy,
and it is our connection to the Divine.
If this Chakra becomes blocked or unbalanced, we can withdraw from reality into the
self and become fixed on delusion or fantasy. The mind will become muddled when
the brow chakra is under stress, and rigid thinking and decreased receptivity to new
ideas will often make it difficult to be decisive and practical. If the base, sacral or
solar plexus chakras also become unbalanced, we will have difficulty in determining
between what is useful and applicable to our lives and what is simply wishful
thinking or a figment of the imagination.
Balance of the Brow Chakra however, unifies thought with brain function. This
allows insight and intuition to flow resulting in clearer understanding and focus
22

7. 7th Chakra – The Crown
The colour associated with the seventh Chakra is Violet
The Crown Chakra is located four finger breadths above the top of the head although
the whole area above the head can be regarded as useful to use in healing terms. It is
here that our individual pattern of consciousness keeps in touch with information
received from the subtle dimensions, spiritual energy, the surrounding universe and
ultimately the whole of creation.
Physically, the Crown Chakra affects the function of the cerebrum (higher brain)
which holds our higher consciousness. Lack of balance in this area can cause
23
confusion, on a mental as well as a physical level, exhaustion or lack of energy,
difficulties with co-ordination, a disposition to distancing oneself, depression and a
tendency to boredom.
As the base/root chakra grounds us firmly to the earth, the crown chakra integrates
and opens us up to the universal energy. It is important that both of these centres
work together in harmony and in so doing energy flows efficiently, the healing
potential within the body is greater, intuition and understanding is enhanced, and
the mind becomes quieter and able to focus on its tasks.
Functions – The centre of spirituality, enlightenment, dynamic thought and energy.
It is the centre that vitalizes the cerebrum, the right eye, and the pineal gland.
Glands/Organs – Pineal gland and Cerebrum
Element – The higher expression of all elements
Shape – Star of David
Gems/Minerals – Amethyst, Clear Quartz, Milky Quartz, Iolite, Purple fluorite,
Sugalite, Opal, Moonstone
Foods – Sun, juice, fasting

ability to integrate the physical and spiritual worlds in relationships
Keynotes/Lessons – It allows the flow of wisdom and brings the gift of cosmic
consciousness. When clear, it enables us to see the truth concerning ideals,
materialistic pursuits, self limiting concepts, pride and vanity. It allows us to
experience continuous self awareness and conscious detachment from personal
emotions. Compassion, empathy seeing self in others
Common illnesses/Physical Dysfunction – Mental disorders, confusion, depression,
headaches
Associated essential oils and crystals;
 All oils can be used on the Crown Chakra
Linking to the Divine and Protection
Before doing any kind of healing it is important to link to the Divine Spirit and to
protect yourself and the person that you are healing. All crystals should be cleansed,
charged and programmed and used only for the highest good.
24
Your tutor will advise you of how to go about this but it is important to remember
that, for the Healer, Intention, Faith and an Open Mind all play a very important
role.
It is important to map out any blockages and find on which level blockages are
present. Ask Questions and feel the bodies for clues as to the energy levels being
released in the different chakras and levels around the whole body. Here are some
indications that may help you in your diagnosis and charting of energies:
 Significant activity noticed in the crown area could indicate that the client
spends a lot of time meditating, but is not grounded.
 There may be a lot of activity noticed at the feet, which could indicate that the
client is very grounded
 The left side of the body is the female side; the right side is the male side. If
there is a blockage on a mental level on the right side of the body, in the
throat chakra, and the client is female, this usually indicates significant
communication problems with males, and also highlights important issues of
trust and faith.
It is important to make a note of the locations on the body where the energy, however
it may feel, can be detected and to recognise the level from which it is coming. This
will help you to determine which chakras and which bodies are more in need of
healing work, and which would be the most suitable layout, or crystals to use, to treat
the distortions.
When assessing for blockages this is usually an indication of:
Cold – Open Chakra
Hot – Blocked Tingly – Moving energy – this is usually congestion being moved
Heavy/dense energy – Closed
Once the healing session has been completed, it is very important to detach from the
client receiving treatment – Your tutor will advise you how to do this.

Qualities of Stones Used in Layouts

stone of spirituality and contentment as well as a powerful healer and protector. It
34
calms and stabilises the mind and, as a natural pain reliever, it is suitable for the
treatment of headaches, migraine and tumours. It enhances higher states of
consciousness, and because it works on a profoundly spiritual level, it is an excellent
stone for meditation. Through meditation it enhances tranquillity and deeper
understanding, facilitating decision making through common sense and spiritual
insight. It controls our disposition by imparting a soothing, calming and
tranquilizing influence, clearing away unproductive and negative vibrations
Amethyst opens us up to reality, helping to improve motivation, enhance memory
and promote emotional balance. It dispels and alleviates fear, anger, anxiety, sadness
and grief. It is useful in the treatment of mental disorders and has been used as an
elixir to treat arthritis. It is a good stone to help overcome insomnia, and for healing
dis-eases of the lungs, respiratory tract, skin conditions and dis-eases of the digestive
tract.
Blue Lace Agate – The energy of this stone is soft, cooling and calming. It is
particularly useful for the throat chakra in soothing sore throats, inflammation and
infection. Blue Lace Agate is a powerful ally in facilitating the free flow of expression,
neutralizing anger, giving peace of mind, and helping to dissolve feelings of anger.
This stress release stone unblocks the throat and gently dissolves blockages enabling
held back feelings to be expressed. Using this stone on the throat Chakra, the Heart
Chakra, the 3rd Eye/Brow Chakra and the Crown Chakra, will help us to enter into
high-frequency states of awareness. It can be used for arthritic conditions, to
strengthen the skeletal structure, remove blockages from the nervous system, and in
the treatment of disorders of the pancreas. Blue Lace Agate can be used anywhere
there is an excess build up of energy and can also be used as an elixir to soothe the
eyes.
Carnelian (The Amiable One) – This crystal grounds and anchors us into the
present surroundings, aiding positive life choices. Emotionally, it protects against
rage, fear, envy and resentment and helps to restore vitality, increase motivation and
stimulate creativity. Carnelian also helps to overcome abuse of any kind, conquer
negative conditioning and to restore trust in ourselves. Mentally, Carnelian enables
us to clarify our awareness and improve logical thought patterns, sharpens our
concentration and drives out sluggishness. Stimulating metabolism, Carnelian is also
very influential in balancing the female reproductive organs, increasing fertility and
overcoming frigidity and impotence. It accelerates healing in the bones and
ligaments and is good for the kidneys. Carnelian is a warming stone and therefore
ideal for those who are always cold and who need to increase circulation.
Chrysocolla (The Feminine Stone) – Known as the female stone because of its
effects on the feminine qualities. Strength is anything we may wish to make it, and
femininity is strength, a valuable attribute, and should be seen as such. It is a crystal
35
that enhances femininity whilst building strength and excluding fear from lack of self
confidence. Helpful with pre-menstrual tension, it also relieves stress and tension by
helping to correct energy and hormonal imbalances within the body. This is a
tranquil and sustaining stone, aiding meditation and communication. It is beneficial
to relationships that have become rocky, promoting interaction and providing a
stabilizing influence. Chrysocolla calms, cleanses and re-energises all of the chakras.
At the Solar Plexus Chakra it draws out negative emotions such as guilt. At the heart
chakra, it heals heartache and increases the capacity to love. At the throat Chakra, it
improves communication and aids us to discern when to keep silent. This is a stone
that encourages self awareness, imparts confidence and sensitivity, enhancing
personal power and inspiring creativity. It encourages us to tell the truth with
fairness and rationality. Physically it helps to treat arthritis, muscle spasms, digestive
tract disorders, detoxifies, re-oxygenates, regulates and regenerates. It aids in cooling
infections especially of the throat and tonsils, lowers blood pressure and balances the
blood.
Golden Calcite (The Leveller) – An energy amplifier which brings peace and
serenity. It helps dissolve emotional stress and brings in spiritual light and
knowledge. It is a stone to help us focus our concentration and stimulates insight and
the ability to boost the memory. A good stone to aid us when we are studying as it
enables us to differentiate between what is important and what is not, and then helps
to reinforce and retain that information. It actions us into putting ideas into motion
and combats lethargy by increasing energy levels. It is a stabilizing stone helping us
to overcome setbacks, and giving us the strength and trust to believe in our own
ability. It cleanses the organs and bones, strengthens the skeleton and joints, and
helps to alleviate intestinal and skin conditions. Golden Calcite is particularly useful
for meditation and attuning to the higher mental planes as it grounds and instils
mental awareness into the physical plane. Calcite cleans and re-energises the
chakras.
Obsidian (Black – Dark Velvet) - A stone to increase self control and for grounding.
Obsidian is a very creative stone which acts to ground our soul and spiritual forces
into the physical plane. It is also a protective stone that repels negativity and
disperses unloving thoughts, helping to release old loves and providing support
during change. Obsidian is used mainly on the base/root chakra, but can be used on
the Sacral to ground spiritual energy into the body. Held briefly on the 3rd eye, it can
be used to break through mental barriers and dissolve mental patterns or
conditioning.
Clear Quartz (The Umbrella Stone)
– Amplifies and strengthens the Auric field
especially the Etheric and Emotional bodies. Used for meditation and healing –
36
brings calm and clarity. Good healer for skin and skin complaints due to the silica
content of the Quartz and the skin. It is a master healer and can be used for any
condition. It stimulates the immune system and brings the body into balance. On a
spiritual level it raises the energy to the highest possible level by filtering out
distractions. On a mental level it aids concentration and unlocks the memory. It
cleanses and enhances the organs, absorbs, regulates and releases energy and is
excellent in clearing blocked energy. It is also ideal for soothing burns. Clear Quartz
harmonises all Chakras and aligns the subtle bodies.
Rose Quartz (The Love Stone) - Calming and soothing, Rose Quartz is a stone of
unconditional love and infinite peace. It facilitates deep inner healing, strengthens
the heart, aids circulation, and when placed on thymus, aids chest and lung
problems. It heals kidneys and adrenals and alleviates vertigo. It is the most
important crystal for the heart and the heart chakra and is calming, re-assuring and
excellent for use in trauma or crisis. The negativities mellowed by Rose Quart are
those specific to love – fear, jealousy, resentment, forgiveness. It soothes the way for
purer understanding and soothes guilt and anxieties. It allows deep tensions to relax
and energy to flow to calmly exorcise them. It helps us to achieve our dreams of
emotional satisfaction and to let go of emotional tension, releasing emotional
conditioning that no longer serves us. Rose Quartz opens our heart so that we are
receptive. It teaches us to love ourselves, accept love from others and encourages self
forgiveness as well as forgiveness of others. It is a powerful ally for grief, encouraging
acceptance, self trust and self love.
Sodalite (The Clear One) – The Clear one does not relate to the stone’s mineral
attributes, but to the effect Sodalite can have on a person. Sodalite is initially known
to work through the body, progressing to the mind and spirit. The main action of
Sodalite is to work through the body’s lymphatic system strengthening the body
against infection and stress. Uniting logic with intuition, this stone opens up spiritual
perception and helps us to understand the circumstances in which we may find
ourselves. It can be used to enhance truthfulness in emotions, allowing us to both
recognise and verbalize our true feelings. It stimulates trust, eliminates mental
confusion, calms the mind and helps to release old mental patterning. Sodalite is an
excellent stone to help bring about emotional balance and calm panic attacks. Self
esteem, self acceptance and self trust are all qualities that this stone brings to its
user. Also known as “the weeping stone”, Sodalite is an excellent stress relief stone.
Used across the eyes it is suitable for the relief of upper sinus problems. It is also a
good stone for insomnia, and can be used on all endocrine glands to balance and to
stimulate the metabolism. A generally calming and soothing stone, it is suitable for
treating the throat, vocal chords and larynx, and is helpful for hoarseness and
digestive disorders.
Tiger’s Eye (Yellow – The Chameleon Stone) – This crystal is a protective stone
which was traditionally worn as an amulet to ward off negative energies, curses and
bad omens. It promotes clarity and intent, and grounds us so that we may be helped
37
o achieve our goals and aspirations. It helps us to differentiate between wishful
thinking and what we really need, and because it enhances our practical perception
and our connection to reality, it is ideal for those who have their ‘heads in the clouds’.
Mentally this stone will help to resolve internal conflicts, especially those brought
about by ego and wilfulness. A good stone for mental confusion or personality
disorders because it helps to heal issues of self worth and self criticism, facilitating
support to change. It aids in healing the throat and in dissolving limitations, helping
us to recognise our inherent abilities.
Client Experiences
Each client will have their own unique experience when energy is being balanced,
released or sedated. The following is a possible indication of what your client may
experience during healing.
Relaxation – From deep relaxation through to sleep, and afterwards feeling calmer
and stress free.
Hot and Cold – This sensation is quite common as heat is usually unwanted toxins or
emotions being released from the bloodstream
Cold – This indicates a circulation problem and sometimes it can be due to bad
digestion which can be the result of stress.
Shivering – Indicates a letting go of past fears or traumas
Tingling – This is usually congestion being moved
Pulling –A feeling of being pulled from inside is caused by realignment.
Pressure – This is usually due to releasing stagnant energy built up through
emotional or mental stresses
Simple ways to use crystals to protect you,
38
your space and your environment
Protecting yourself and your energy:
The practice of carrying or wearing crystals has been with us for many centuries.
Whatever the purpose you have the crystal about your person, the healing vibration
of that particular crystal will resonate with you and its healing qualities will be
absorbed by you. Some of the following crystals are particularly useful to protect and
guard your space and shield you from negative energies.
Labadorite & Apache Tears – These two stones are wonderful as Auric protectors
from those who feed off your energies.
Green Aventurine – Shields and protects heart energy.
Black Tourmaline - Shields the wearer/carrier from people getting too close and
draining your energy. It repels negative energy by creating a protective shield.
Amber – A great aura protector which will help guard you from picking up negative
vibrations. This is also a very good stone for people with Asthma, but be careful not
to use it for too long at any one time as the resin can cause blockages in the meridian
system.
Kunzite & Selenite – Disperses the mental influences from others which may
otherwise affect your aura.
Fire Agate - Reflects harm back to its original source so that the source can feel and
understand its effects
Amethyst – Connects to divine protection. In Europe and throughout the middle
ages this crystal was worn or carried to protect from drunkenness. This is a calming,
stabilizing, and uplifting stone. If placed under your pillow it can help combat
nightmares and insomnia
Moonstone – Protects against the perils of travel and brings good fortune.
Celestite – Attracts a Guardian Angel
Sodalite – A good stone to carry or wear for stress relief
Tiger’s Eye – Worn on the right arm or on a pendant for short periods, it will help
you to resolve conflict and to recognise your own talents and abilities. It helps to heal
throat and reproductive organs and dissolve limitations.
Protecting your home and personal space:
39
Calcite – Placed in a room this crystal will clean negative energy from the
environment and heighten your energy levels
Carnelian – Placed by the front door it attracts celestial protection and invites
abundance into your home.
Flourite/Quartz Cluster – Placed by the home computer or television it helps to
neutralize electromagnetic radiation.
Amethyst/Rose Quartz – If you have noisy neighbours, place one, or both, of these
crystals on the adjoining wall to help calm them down. If you have a stressful job,
these two crystals can help relieve stress if held or placed in your pocket.
Smoky Quartz – Place a piece of smoky Quartz/smoky quartz cluster on your desk to
protect you from other people’s stress and frustrations.
Black Tourmaline & Turquoise – Protects the house from bad vibrations. If you place
it in an area which points away from the house it will deflect negative energies from
coming through your door.
You can use a pendulum to determine areas in your house where crystals are best
suited
Protect your car – Placing one of the protective crystals such as Amethyst,
Tourmaline or Moonstone in your car will protect you. It is necessary to programme
the crystal to look after you and your car before placing it in the car.
Love Crystals:
Attract Love into your life – Carry or wear Rose Quartz/Rhodochrosite. Rose Quartz
will also replace aggression with love.
Place Rose Quartz in the relationship area of your house to increase the love
vibration - (if you are not sure where this is, use the dowsing method to guide you).
In existing relationships, Rose Quartz will restore trust and encourage unconditional
love. Placing a large piece of Rose Quartz next to your bed will encourage love and
harmony.
