It can't be stressed enough--crystal healing is no substitute for conventional medicine, especially in an emergency. But it can help you calm down in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. The body has a powerful but yet not fully understood method of self-healing. Crystal healing helps you tap into the healing powers you already possess.There aren't any bad side effects, unless you buy a crystal you really can't afford.Your instinct will make you curious about crystal healing, whether you have gemstones and pretty rocks around you or not. Go with your curiosity.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Crystal healing book or website (optional)
  • Rocks, pebbles, metals or gemstones (rough or polished) that particularly appeal to you

    Love Me Like A Rock

  1. Step 1

    Select a crystal, gemstone or rock helper in the same way that you would select a piece of jewelry, using your personal taste. Everyone has their own way.

  2. Step 2

    Cleanse the crystals in your preferred method. This gets rid of any vibrations of bad energies from the stone's past. Leaving the stone in three days of sunlight and three nights under the full moon is a good cleansing method.

  3. Step 3

    Leave the stone sit around where you relax and unstress, like a bedroom, kitchen or bathroom. In this way, you learn to associate the stone with relaxing times. Leave it there for as long as you like.

  4. Step 4

    Study about crystal healing to see the ways it has been used by others. Some will make sense to you. If you can clearly see yourself in your mind's eye doing a crystal healing procedure, then that's the one for you. If a procedure makes you feel awkward, silly or doubtful, then skip that one.

  5. Step 5

    Use your rock in the way your instinct tells you to, even if it's just carrying it in your purse or pocket as a lucky charm to calm down.

Tips & Warnings
  • Have fun with it, but don't take it too seriously. Crystal healing books and websites are suggestions like recipes are suggestions. They don't have to be followed to the letter.
  • If you feel that a crystal wants to be given away to help calm down and heal someone else, give the crystal away. You may get another crystal back as a gift when you most need it.
  • Reading about crystal healing can often calm you down in times of stress, whether or not have a rock on you.
  • Don't use crystal healing every day. Your mind seems to get bored with it and so it looses it's positive effects.
  • Don't use ivory, real tortoiseshell or coral, although they are listed in some crystal healing books. These were most likely harvested illegally.
  • Don't get into arguments with people about whether crystal haling works. It's a personal decision. If your friend doesn't want to use crystal healing, don't make her use it.
