Reiki crystals enhance energy healing sessions by unblocking and balancing chakras within the body. Arranged in crystal grids, these crystals amplify and direct healing vibrations towards specific intentions or areas of concern in order to maximize effectiveness of energy healing sessions.
Yrma Wilson lists five of her favourite Reiki stones and their benefits: Amethyst, Clear Quartz, Rose Quartz, Black Tourmaline and Citrine.
Amethyst
Amethyst is a favorite among Reiki practitioners, as its properties are well-known to soothe and cleanse emotional body as well as facilitate spiritual development. Additionally, amethyst may help connect to higher consciousness while increasing intuition and psychic powers.
Amethyst has long been used as a natural remedy to address addiction. It’s thought to help break negative patterns and promote sobriety, while also being linked with increasing creativity and imagination by clearing away mental debris to reveal new opportunities for creativity and potentiality.
Amethyst is an effective combination with smoky quartz as a bridge between physical and spiritual realms, whether worn as jewelry or integrated into your reiki practice for spiritual growth and protection. Wear them together as jewelry to foster their power or incorporate into reiki practice to foster growth of spirit.
Clear Quartz
Clear Quartz is an invaluable stone for manifesting and channeling energy, amplifying and channeling it towards manifested manifestations and focused channeling efforts. Furthermore, its crystaline nature makes it perfect for unblocking energetic blockages as well as supporting emotional healing processes.
Crystals such as Clear Quartz can help strengthen our connection to higher realms during meditation and spiritual practices, encouraging spiritual growth and intuition. In addition, it can improve focus and concentration.
Clear Quartz crystals are well known for their ability to balance and align our chakras, harmonizing these energy vortexes within our body. Try passing your Clear Quartz through sacred smoke like that produced from burning sage or palo santo, immersing it in water or placing it under sunlight/moonlight for rejuvenating cleansing effects. Additionally, recharge its energies with sunlight/moonlight exposure!
Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz is a stone of love, compassion, and forgiveness – and as such is known to promote inner peace and emotional healing. Its soothing energy helps dissolve any boundaries which prevent love from flourishing, opening communication channels that foster greater relationships among family members and thereby strengthening bonds within families.
Reiki practitioners utilize this pink crystal to reset the heart chakra and promote unconditional love and self-love. Furthermore, its use may boost circulation and skin health.
Rose quartz can help those seeking to manifest intentions of any sort – including love – effortlessly. All it takes is some quiet space, holding your crystal, and setting an intention. Many practitioners suggest repeating an affirmation mantra during your meditation to maximize its efficacy.
Black Tourmaline
Black Tourmaline is an extremely grounding crystal that helps anchor energy to the Earth, providing stability and equilibrium. Known as a stone of protection against electromagnetic radiation and psychic attacks, Black Tourmaline acts as a buffer between us and negative energies such as electromagnetic fields or psychic attacks.
Black Tourmaline is also an invaluable aid to empaths & sensitives, protecting against psychic vampires who siphon energy away from those around you and shielding your aura. Placing one near doorways or work areas can be very effective.
Black Tourmaline can help improve energy vibrations in your sleeping environment and promote restful nights and meaningful dreams. Additionally, it reduces electromagnetic radiation caused by electronic devices as well as help purify your aura and environment with its cleansing abilities.
Citrine
Citrine is an energetic stone known to stimulate both body and mind, increasing energy and positivity levels and inspiring joyousness and enthusiasm in daily life. It is an ideal stone to help cultivate joy in our daily lives.
Stone of Commerce or “merchant’s stone,” often helps individuals bring wealth and prosperity. Additionally, it promotes positivity and increases self-confidence.
Citrine is believed to help individuals release old negative emotions and patterns, aiding healing and clarity of mind. Furthermore, citrine supports healthy digestion while instilling positivity into individuals. Finally, citrine may offer protection from negativity for empaths or sensitive souls.
