Stones are used in Reiki healing to aid energy flow and release spiritual, mental, and emotional blocks that are holding back wellness in both body and mind. By supporting energy movement through stones in this manner, reiki healing provides a sense of balance for both mind and body.
Crystals can be placed strategically around the body to align with chakra systems and achieve maximum effect. Each type of stone offers specific benefits for different clients; several methods exist for selecting suitable stones for every client.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine is one of the most soothing of crystals, providing us with an avenue to stay focused during times of high anxiety or stress. It is said to bring strength and courage, with strong links to Throat Chakra opening communication channels and self-expression; helping any sore throats or thyroid conditions that arise.
Aquamarine can act as an effective detoxifier and cleanser, helping the body rid itself of any accumulated toxins. Furthermore, its soothing qualities have also been known to ease inflammation and support cardiovascular wellbeing.
When it comes to cleansing aquamarine stones, moonlight can be one of the best methods of removal of negative energy and negativity. Moonlight’s purifying nature helps remove negativity without using harsh chemicals like bleach. You could also try soaking or smudging with sage or palo santo as another way of cleansing crystals regularly after use in reiki sessions.
Yellow Topaz
Yellow Topaz is an indescribably soothing stone of comfort and safety that resonates with the root chakra and its vibrations. Furthermore, this yellow crystal holds powerful healing properties within both sacral and solar plexus chakras – as well as being believed to aid digestion while increasing stamina on an physical level.
As its name implies, this yellow healing crystal is commonly referred to as the Merchant’s Stone and said to help attract wealth and prosperity into one’s life. Furthermore, it has the capacity to overcome fearful thoughts or depression by turning negative traits into positive traits that transform into beneficial attributes over time.
Citrine and Golden Tourmaline can make for the ideal combination in any reiki ritual, making this stone an invaluable healing aid for liver, gallbladder and endocrine system issues. In addition, Zincite or Golden Labradorite often pair well for increased focus and clarity.
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis lazuli is one of the most sought-after stones among metaphysical communities because it is believed to bring wisdom, truth and inner peace. Additionally, this stone may boost psychic ability and promote self-expression.
Lapis lazuli can be found throughout Afghanistan’s mountainous Badakhshan region; specifically at Sar-e-Sang. Other sources include Lake Baikal in Russia and Chile – these sources often yield less saturated versions than Sar-e-Sang’s premium variety.
Lapis lazuli’s stunning blue color has long drawn artists’ imaginations. Ancient Egyptians used its powder for blue cosmetics while Renaissance painters turned into ultramarine paint, the most valuable blue pigment at that time. Additionally, lapis lazuli was often carved into ornamental objects like jars, chalices, dagger handles or even used to stamp official signatures or religious inscriptions in wet clay by rolling onto seal cylinders that impressed official signatures or religious inscriptions on.
Rose Quartz
Rose quartz, widely recognized as an emblematic stone of unconditional love, assists in healing emotional wounds and fosters compassion toward self and others. Rose quartz may enhance circulation and boost neuron connectivity for greater neuron connectivity, providing soothing energies which promote the heart chakra specifically.
Crystals used as family healing crystals are said to increase intimacy within relationships and promote deeper levels of connection and nourishment within them. Some claim it can rekindle romantic love while supporting family bonding – helping reduce tension among loved ones.
Jolie DeMarco, author of High Vibe Crystal Healing, recommends including rose quartz in your reiki crystal grid to attract and foster love as well as healing emotional issues surrounding love and loss. Rhodochrosite, carnelian and red jasper can be added to balance out your heart chakra and assist with any issues related to romance or family dynamics that might be hindering this goal.
