NTRODUCTIONTh is book was written with one purpose in mind and that was to help people.
I had noticed that a lot of clients were asking for my help with crystal work. Th eir most diffi cult challenges were that they did not know which crystals to use or how to use them eff ectively for a particular situation. I honestly love when clients ask questions because they have a knowledge to learn and can grow from each question they ask. With my love for crystals and helping others, I started working with diff erent healings until I found one that worked successfully almost every time. Th at’s where this book fi rst started, many years ago, before I even knew it.
My spirit guides have guided me through a very energetic and spiritual pathway. Th ey have led me to the opening of Healing Art Forms Institute and now here, passing on my spiritual and practical wisdom in the art of crystal healing.

NTRODUCTIONCrystal healing works due to the vibrational and energetic level of the crystal as it heals issues, areas, and tendencies within our own vibrational energy fi elds.
Crystal healing is not a new art form, and you do not need any special training to perform these types of tasks. But you do need to have knowledge of the in’s and out’s before you get started! Crystal healing is all about balancing a person’s energy back to a harmonious and aligned state within their physical body to ease the problem, issue, or imbalance that is at hand.
Th ere are so many crystals and gemstones out in the world today, it can be very confusing to know which ones to use and how to use them unless you have studied, learned, and practiced it yourself. Th is book contains 555 diff erent tips for some of the most common ailments, issues, and problems we face today in our physical bodies. I have personally used all 555 of them on family, friends, clients, colleagues, and myself so I know they all work!

You can fi nd basic crystal books anywhere from the Internet, bookstores, and courses as well. Th ey give you wonderful information about the basics of crystals, which I will go into a bit more in this book. Th ey are also fi lled with colorful pictures, background information, hardness testing, associative properties and much more. But they leave out one important thing, which is how to use the crystals in a correct manner. Unless you know someone who knows how to use them you could be trying all sorts of diff erent things with no results. Th is book is diff erent because it tells you literally how to use the crystal or gemstone for that specifi c purpose intended behind it.
Crystal healing is not a guarantee for anything, just like most things in life. You have to work with it, practice, and fi nd what works for you. I will tell you that crystal healing will not harm you or your physical body if used correctly as instructed in this book. Crystal and energy healing, of any kind, should always be done for the highest good of all and to obtain the most positive results.
Please do understand there are many crystals to use for any one type of ailment, issue, or problem we face. I have taken my own personal work to give you the best answers to solving these problems in a matter of fact way, so no fl uff or fi ll here! With everyone having diff erent vibrational matches and issues, use them at your own discretion and understand that one person’s healing issues are diff erent than another’s. Your commitment to the crystal is part of the healing process. Enjoy the healings that come through and let the crystals do the work for you!

RYSTALSWhen choosing crystals for your own personal use and getting started, make sure you have at least two of each main color you will be working with. Th is includes red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, white, clear and black. Colors of the crystals are associated with our chakra centers and can also correspond to some of the ailments. It is good to have a broad variety of crystals and gemstones to have on hand when working.
My personal favorites to keep on hand are: Peridot, Hematite, Red Jasper, Rose Quartz, Rhodonite, Carnelian, Topaz, Amber, Tiger’s Eye, Malachite, Bloodstone, Moss Agate, Turquoise, Aquamarine, Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst, Fluorite, Clear Quartz, Moonstone, Onyx, Black Tourmaline, and Smoky Quartz.
Th ere are many crystals and gemstones out there, so try not to get overwhelmed and confused picking or choosing which ones are right for you or being concerned if you didn’t get the right ones. Th e best guide to choosing your own

crystals is to follow your intuition. Your intuition will never steer you wrong if you listen to it. Sometimes it can be hard to understand if you have not worked with following your “gut” instincts before, but listen to them when working with crystals.
When you fi rst go out to choose your new crystals, make sure you are in a positive and happy mood. You do not want to draw in negative energetic feelings, so put on some happy music in the car and think of something that you enjoy while you are on your way to the crystal shop.
Once you get there, go and start looking around to see what catches your eye fi rst. Pick up the crystal and see if it feels right to you. If it does, look for more to add to your own crystal healing kit. If it doesn’t, put it down and move to another one!
Th ere is no right or wrong answer, but rather what resonates within you! Just remember that your crystals will choose you just as much as you choose them!

RYSTALSAll crystals and gemstones need to be cleansed before using them. You have no idea where they have been, who has been picking them up to see if they were a right fi t for their energy fi elds or what types of energies are already attached to them. So the fi rst thing you need to do when you get them home is to cleanse them!
Th ere are a few diff erent ways to cleanse your new crystals. You can use smudging, water cleansing, Mother Earth’s energy, sage tea cleansing, solar energy, sound vibrations, mirror energy and even sand cleansing if you choose. To cleanse your crystals with smudging, hold the crystal within the smoke of your smudge stick. Smudging with pure sage or a sage combination works best for crystal cleansing. Pass them through the smudge smoke at least 4 times back and forth.
Cleansing your crystal with water and sea salt is very simple. For the harder crystals, you can place them in a
Practical Crystal Healing

small glass container of sea salt water for at least 1 hour. For the softer crystals, you can mist them generously with a water spray to completely cover the crystal and having plenty of run-off .
Using Mother Earth’s energy is a simple and fun; yet dirty way, to cleanse your crystals. Take your crystal and wrap it in a simple cheesecloth and then again in a cloth made of silk. Find a special spot in your yard where you can bury your new crystal. Dig a hole about 6-8 inches into the ground and place your crystal in this. Cover it and remember to put a marker so you can dig it up! After a period of 24 hours, uncover your crystal and gently rinse any loose dirt from it. Sage tea cleansing is a fun and safe way to incorporate a few diff erent aspects together for a powerful cleansing session for your crystals. Take some sage, fresh if you have it, and brew a pot of tea made from the fresh sage. Allow this to cool and place your crystal in a glass bowl. Pour the sage infused tea over the crystal and allow it to bathe overnight. Th is combines the strength of smudging and water energy to cleanse them. Remember to rinse them in the morning!
Solar energy and water can be used as well for cleansing crystals. You can do this by holding the crystal under running water for a minute and then placing the crystal in the sun to dry. Some crystals may fade with the direct rays of the sun, so make sure not to leave them in the direct sunlight for to long. It only takes a few minutes for them to dry, so keep an eye on them!
Cleansing Your Crystals
Th e use of sound vibrations is another wonderful way to cleanse crystals with pure sound. A bell or tuning fork can be used for this. Use your bell or tuning fork to make its vibrational sound and place the crystal as close as you can to the bell or tuning fork without interrupting the sound vibrational.
Using mirror energy to cleanse crystals and gemstones is very easy. Simply place your crystal on top of a mirror, placed on your table or dresser, and allow the mirror to refl ect back and out the energy that the crystal is already holding. Allow this to remain on the mirror for at least 24 hours.
You can also use a sand method for almost any kind of crystal or gemstone. Bury your crystal in moist sand and leave for at least 2 hours. Please do note that the sand can remove some of the polish from the crystals, so only use this as a last resort.
When working with your crystals in healing sessions, or even with crystal gridding, you will want to make sure you cleanse them on a regular basis. Each issue is diff erent and will need to be considered depending on what the healing or gridding is accomplishing with its task. One basic rule of thumb, make sure you cleanse your crystals after each individual healing session. When working with gridding placements, these can vary from cleansing once a week to once a month time frames. Crystals that are worn should be cleansed and then reprogrammed every 24 hours if need be. Please follow the guidelines in this book for the best results.

If you use crystal healing work on a consistent basis, whether it is for yourself or other healings, remember that the crystals are the ones doing the healing work. It is always a good idea to send them home to Mother Earth for at least one month during a calendar year when they are used this often. By this I mean to bury them in Mother Earth to give them a recharging of their own vibrational healing. Remember to mark the spot where you buried them and mark your calendar to remind you when to uncover them again!

ROGRAMMING& C
HARGINGC
RYSTALSProgramming or charging crystals is a way to work with them and communicate on a vibrational level the work you wish for them to do while the crystal is in your possession. Th ere are a few diff erent ways you can program or charge them, but simplicity is the best!
Th e Passive Method is one of the easiest ways to program a crystal or gemstone. Th is is done by simply using the same crystal for the same purposes. For example, you wish to use a particular Amethyst during your meditation sessions. You would simply use this crystal over and over again for the same purpose. Doing so, this will program the crystal over time for its specifi c issue to help you with your spiritual quest. Th e Active Method takes a bit more concentration and focus, but can still be fun! Using your thoughts, intentions, concentration, and focus while projecting what you wish to accomplish when using this specifi c crystal or gemstone
Practical Crystal Healing
10
does this. Remember your intention must be in harmony with the crystal for this to work. As an example, you cannot use the active method to program an Amethyst to be used for grounding work. Th ese two vibrational levels will not correspond and the programming will not “stick” with the crystal. You would, however, use the active method with an Amethyst for issues such as headaches, intuition, insomnia and many other reasons. Grounding is not an attribute for working with an Amethyst, so for these reasons the vibrational levels will not match.
You can also charge a crystal or gemstone with Reiki. Th is enhances the crystal’s own natural abilities and makes a stronger connection between you and the crystal. You must be attuned to at least a Reiki Level I to be able to do this, or you can have someone who is attuned to Reiki charge the crystal for you. It is a simple and easy task to perform. Take the crystal or gemstone between the palms of your hands and start your Reiki fl ow. Next, ask that the crystal be healed and to now have its own access to this Reiki energy to assist in its purposes with your direction. Keep running your Reiki energy until the energy pull from the crystal is shut down.

RYSTALSTh ere are crystals that come in every shade and color you can think of; red ones, orange ones, and so on. Th e colors do not determine their healing and vibrational ability but do have color references associated with them. Th ere are many diff erent color crystals and gemstones out there, and new ones are being found all the time. For color references for crystals that are more than one color, you can check on the major color that is noticeable or combine the attributes between the multiple colors.
Red crystals stimulate, activate, and energize your physical body. Some of them also off er protection and courage as well. Th e color red is associated with the Root Chakra and aids in the ability to use practical skills and physical survival.
Orange crystals are a mix of red and yellow, which combines the energizing energy from the red color and the focusing energy from the yellow color. Associated with the Sacral Chakra, the color orange works with energy fl ow dealing

with creativity, expressive issues, personal power, and self-esteem.
Yellow crystals are wonderful for inspiration, focusing, happiness, and contentment issues. Th is color is associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra and aids in the ability to discriminate and identify things in our physical and spiritual life path as well as centering issues!
Green crystals are typically known as healing stones, but this is not limited to just the color green. Th is color is associated with the Heart Chakra and works on issues of emotions, relationships, prosperity, balance, love, and personal space! Blue crystals are generally known for all forms of communication and are associated with the Th roat Chakra. Th ey also work wonderfully for purifi cation, calming emotions, and expression issues.
Purple and violet crystals have a mysticism type of quality about them. Th ey are associated with the Th ird Eye Chakra and deal with areas of understanding, intuition, and peace. Inspiration, imagination, subconscious, and rebalancing of extremes are also great attributes of this color.
White and clear crystals are generally associated with the Crown Chakra. Th ese share attributes with clarity, cleansing, purifi cation, and psychic abilities.
Black crystals are ones that absorb the light. Th ey are associated with grounding, negative repulsion, self-control, and protection issues. Th e Omega Chakra is attributed to this color and its associative properties.
Colors Of Crystals
Pink crystals have gentle and soothing properties. Th ey are linked to the Heart Chakra as a second color and base for energy. Th eir properties generally help calm and soothe emotions and issues dealing with love and resolutions. Multi-colored crystals are very common in specifi c crystal families. Th eir color correspondences are based on the combination of the colors involved and their specifi c functions.

HAKRAC
ORRESPONDENCESChakra correspondences with crystals are easy to understand and use. Chakras are believed to be energy centers throughout our body that keeps our vital energy fl owing! Th ere are 7 main chakras, over 300 minor chakras, and multiple ascended chakras in our etheric fi elds.
Each chakra has a corresponding color and its own properties. Combine this with the properties of the crystal and you can easily see how crystal healing can get you started on a spiritual healing pathway. You do not have to understand every single crystal and every single chakra attribute to work with their healing.
For chakra healing and usage, place the color appropriate crystal or gemstone on or over the chakra area while meditating or during a healing session. Th is will energize the chakra, remove any blockages, and make alignment possible throughout your energy centers.

URAC
ORRESPONDENCESEvery human, plant, animal, and pretty much every living thing has an aura. Your aura is the electromagnetic fi eld that surrounds your physical body. Th e aura consists of seven levels, each having its own unique frequency. Th ey are interrelated and aff ect one another through our feelings, emotions, thoughts, behavior, health and much more. Needless to say a state of imbalance in one of the bodies leads to a state of imbalance in the others.
When we have negativity, problems, stagnant energy and other issues, they can manifest within our aura fi elds before they can aff ect us within our physical body. Th ey appear in the auric fi eld as leaks, rips, tears, stagnant energy and energy imprints. To work with healing these areas and issues you need to know which appropriate crystal can work the best for each level to get to the root of the problem. Th e crystals are not associated by their color, as they are with chakra

healings, but are used for each level due to their healing properties and attributes.
To use crystals for aura issues, place the crystal in your dominant hand and make large sweeping motions as far around you as possible. Make sure to use the correct crystals and gemstones for the correct layer to help heal problem areas and remove stagnant and negative energy sources.
Aura Alignment: Use Citrine to help align your aura
fi elds.

EALINGTh ere are many diff erent types of ways to use crystals for healing. Th ere are also multiple crystals that can be used for diff erent issues, problems, and ailments. I am not here to tell you that you have to use a certain crystal in a certain way or it won’t work. Th at is not what this book is about. I am here to guide you along your spiritual learning pathway to help you learn some of the best ways I have used crystals and the most eff ective results for diff erent issues.
Because there are so many ways to use crystals for healing, I have described a bit about each of the general ways to use them so you can learn the basics and then apply them to the appropriate crystals for each area of use. Please do remember, however, that you can use other crystals if the ones I have described do not resonate within your vibrational fi elds. Th e combinations of crystals, methods being used with them, as well as how they are used are what make some of these healing methods the most eff ective.

WEARING OR CARRYING YOUR CRYSTAL
Having the crystal within your energetic fi elds is probably the easiest way to use crystals, but is it always the most eff ective? Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. You do have the crystal energy within your own vibrational energy fi elds, but if you do not place it where you need it the most or leave it there for a long enough period of time it will only touch the symptoms of the ailment and not the source. If you do not constantly work with just this one particular crystal until the issue is completely gone, it can return again and the process starts over.
On the fl ip side, carrying or wearing a crystal can be benefi cial if this is something you like to do or want to have access to these energies constantly. Easy ways to do this are to simply carry the crystal in your pocket, purse, wear the crystal in a pendant casing, or other such jewelry designs. Th is is both fashionable and eff ective!
When working with crystals this way, remember to remove them and cleanse them regularly, as they are not only working with your energetic fi elds but also those you come in contact with. So remember to cleanse and program them as often as needed!
How To Use Crystals For Healing
CRYSTAL GRIDDING
Crystal gridding is the laying on of stones on or around the physical body for healing purposes. Th is also refers to placement of crystals within a room or area, including meditation circles.
Laying on of stones for healing can be done by placing the crystal or gemstone near the appropriate chakra, as well as where the ailment is aligned. You can place the crystal directly on this area, or within a few inches of the area. Remember to use smaller and lighter weight crystals for this, as they have a tendency to roll and tumble about. If you place the crystal on the appropriate chakra point and it keeps tumbling off multiple times, there is a reason for this! It is generally because the person and the crystal are not resonating within the same vibrational match, so choose another appropriate crystal for this area. Th is will not happen often, but when it does it is for a reason, so watch the healing session and how it transpires!
Placement of crystals within a room or area is a very simple process. For the issue at hand, make sure you place the crystals within the room that you spend the most time. For some it may be a living room, family room, bedroom or even the kitchen. Crystal placement in the room should be done where the crystal still has access to a full fl ow of energetic vibrations without being blocked. So please do not hide them under pillows and blankets that are tucked in a box and locked in a trunk in the closet. Th ey will not have energetic access. Placing them in the corners of the room generally provides the best access for the majority of rooms, but again it all depends on what you are using them for. So
Practical Crystal Healing
26
please follow the guidelines per issue to help in guiding you to the best placement for your room or area.
Meditation circles are always a fun and easy method for everyone to use. Th ese are simply circles of your crystals or gemstones surrounding your physical body during your meditation session. By placing them in a circle, you create the unity symbol with them. Th is symbol has no ending and no beginning, so the energy constantly fl ows through each and every crystal surrounding your energy fi elds. Th is is a center point for the energies at their highest levels during your meditation session. Remember to cleanse and program them regularly.
How To Use Crystals For Healing
CRYSTAL ELIXIRS
Crystal elixirs are a charged water base with the attributes of the crystal, including its healing properties and the programming or intention behind them, to help heal. Th e charged water can then be rubbed on the aff ected area, misted or sprayed in the air for cleansing and a variety of other uses.
Th ere are many ways to make crystal elixirs. I personally have three favorite ways of using them. With so many diff erent ways out there for charging and making an elixir, please try them all and see which ones are best suited for you! Please do use bottled or spring water for making your elixirs, not tap water, due to its chemical additives. Make sure to cover and store your charged crystal elixir water in the refrigerator, and keep for up to 7 days.
Direct Crystal Charge is done when your crystal is submersed in the water. Make sure you have cleansed and programmed your appropriate crystal ahead of time. Pour the amount of water into a glass container and gently place your crystal in the water. Leave your crystal in the water for the minimum amount of time suggested for that particular elixir. Gently remove the crystal and rinse, dry, and store this in your special place.
Indirect Crystal Charge is done in a similar fashion, but instead of being submersed in the water, you will be placing your crystal next to your glass water container. Th is is a wonderful method to use for crystals that can be toxic if ingested.
Practical Crystal Healing
28
Crystal Within Charge is a more complicated version of the Indirect Crystal Charge, but I have found it to be more eff ective when making elixirs. To do this you will need two glass bowls, one smaller then the other. In your smaller glass bowl, place your cleansed and programmed crystal. Next place your smaller bowl inside your larger glass bowl. Now fi ll your larger glass bowl with your bottled or spring water. Your crystal should not be in physical contact with any water, but surrounded by it instead. After your appropriate time period has elapsed, remove your crystal, the smaller glass bowl, and pour the water from your larger glass bowl into your storage container.

AGSWhen you fi rst get into crystal healing, it can be confusing, as there are so many crystals and gemstones out there as well as multiple purposes and ways to use them. It is good to start off simple and small so you can start to build from there. Th is way you will not get too overwhelmed by all of the varieties that you have available to you.
You will want to build your own crystal healing kits or bags. I recommend at least two of the same crystals for each of the 7 main associated chakras, along with any other crystals or gemstones you feel drawn to in your growing spiritual pathway. Th ere are also some good general healing stones specifi cally for men, women, children, and pets that you can keep on hand. Th is way when an unexpected emergency comes up, you will have at least some of the basic crystals already in your possession and do not need to worry about running to your nearest holistic store just for a particular crystal or stone. Some basic crystals to stock in a crystal healing bag or kit for anyone are:

White/Clear Colored Crystals: Clear Quartz Crystals or Moonstone
Black Colored Crystals: Onyx or Black Tourmaline
Th ese are some good staples to have for a crystal healing kit or bag, similar to bandages and anti-biotic wash in a fi rst aid kit. Now remember you can always add to your crystals kits or bags with multiple sizes and shapes, but you always want to have the “basics” handy!
Th ere are also some good crystals and gemstones that work better for certain types of energy, such as male energy, female energy, children energy, and animal energy. Th ese are also great things to have on hand, especially if you know you will be working with your crystal healing and these energies on a regular basis.
Some top male energy crystals and gemstones are: Amethyst, Garnet, Jade, Rose Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Hematite, Malachite, and Lapis Lazuli
Some top female energy crystals and gemstones are: Amber, Amethyst, Jasper, Rose Quartz, Moonstone, Jade, Obsidian and Sodalite.
Basic Crystal Healing Bags
Some top children energy crystals and gemstones are: Amethyst, Apache Tear, Carnelian, Clear Quartz, Rose Quartz, Lapis Lazuli, Tiger’s Eye and Aventurine.
Some top animal energy crystal and gemstones are: Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Clear Quartz, Turquoise, Calcite, Carnelian and Sodalite.
Th ese are wonderful crystals and gemstones to have as additions to your crystal healing kit or bag, especially when you will be working with a particular type of energy in your work. For example, if you know you have a passion for working with animals, make sure to keep on hand crystals that will help balance out the animal companion’s energy easily and quickly.
