Healing with crystals is something that absolutely everyone can do. It is easy, convenient, and inexpensive. Crystal healing corresponds with aura, chakra and energy work. I have a wonderful book called Crystal Medicine by Marguerite Elsbeth, who was taught how to use crystals in her own healing work by a Shoshone Medicine Man. Most of the information I'll use for this article comes from that book. This book covers energy healing in a way that anyone can easily understand and apply to their lives, and has beautiful pictures of different stones.

Ask anyone at all if they have a favorite gemstone... or even a favorite color. That color will correspond to something that is important to them in the life... something that makes them feel reminiscent... something that makes them smile... but why is that? Remember in the early years of school being taught about primary colors? That is a very basic concept of color and/or crystal therapy. Every color has a vibrational frequency, thus the vibrations (or energy) of a stone create the color. So... if your aura is also vibrating and creating a color, then when a needed color is brought into your auric field (that color having it's own vibration) it will change the vibration of the energy field around your body and balance the chakra centers which also have corresponding colors.

The important thing to remember when using crystals is that there is no "right" or "wrong" way to use them. Sometimes, you will have a feeling that a specific crystal should be used... always go with your gut instinct. When you pick up a stone for the first time, you are instantly changed... your energy blends with the energy of the crystal and changes your vibrational frequency, or your energy, within the body... and YES, you can feel the energy... just close your eyes, and place the stone in the hand that you write with... wrap your fingers lightly around the crystal... and allow yourself to feel it's energy... focus on it. You will start to feel a tingling, pulsing, warmth or something similar from the crystal. You may even feel a negative or a postive energy.

Once you learn to feel the energy of crystals, you will possibly be interested in learning to read the aura. By reading someone's aura, you can tell if that person is sick in some way if you see dark spots, "holes", or some type of inconsistency. You may see these aura difficiencies in an area relating to the chakra areas or colors. This will tell you which color needs to be brought into the energy field of the body to heal it. If you are seeing the aura while bringing the crystal into the field, you will actually see the changes. With a little practice, this is actually very easy to do! If you'd like, you can also start practicing aura reading on plants, animals, trees... just use your imagination.
