Reiki is abundant universal energy, but just as a prism can focus light, so too may crystals be used to pinpoint certain healing modalities or trouble spots.

Regulate

In certain circumstances, such as when treating patients with secondary issues or specific growths, we may not want to employ the full power of the Reiki at our disposal.

What is Crystal Reiki?

The power of Reiki practice is combined with the inherent energetic qualities of crystals to control and direct the flow of energy in Crystal Reiki.

Imagine it as a “spiritual circuit board,” with the Reiki serving as the energy source, the crystals serving as the individual parts, and the overall effect being more than the sum of its parts.

You can reach a cosmic universal energy by using Reiki.

For more strength, balance, or potent healing, this energy can be slightly altered using the Reiki power symbols.

In order to penetrate deeply into the mind, body, and spirit and cure where it is most needed, reiki healing is typically sent into the body through the chakras and through energy meridians.

Reiki flows “downstream” like water, frequently affecting the areas of greatest or deepest need.

Sometimes the reason a patient sees you may be for a more urgent and specific need, in which case you must somehow control the energy flow.

Crystals can assist with this since they have special vibrational frequencies that can guide the flow of Reiki to particular areas or objectives.

Reiki energy moves to where it is needed, flowing like water.

Crystals can assist with enhancement of energy as they have possess strong vibrational frequencies that can guide the flow of Reiki.

The Advantages of Crystal and Reiki

As mentioned previously, the major benefits of combining crystal work in a  reiki session are allowing for a enhanced vibration from the crystal energy to penetrate into the energetic field to aid in moving energy.

This can provide your therapeutic practice depth, giving you additional resources and sophisticated connections to help you as a practitioner better meet the demands of your patients or clients.

People often like to “see” things being done or used, and not everyone has the sensitivity or ability at first to sense the energetic flow until they have experienced reiki first hand. Adding crystals to Reiki work can give the practitioner a power boost and can help the patient and/or client feel the work more intently by giving them a tangible item through which they can associate the process and feel the vibration.

The concept of a “artifact” can also provide a patient something tangible to hold as a tool of their healing or and to enable then to continue to connect with he crystal energy to continue their own healing after the reiki session is complete.

Choosing Crystals for Reiki Session

Crystals are associated with different Chakras and have different intentions.  Carefully select the crystal to be used to coordinate with Chakra and intent the client needs during the session.

Healing with Crystals and Reiki

Powerful crystals may be made from a variety of stones or be a collection of similar families of stones.

The form and structure of clear quartz is a strong crystal that is often used independently and/or to amplify the energy of another crystal. 

If you wish to use a crystal to boost in your healing, you need first cleanse and charge it (see below for instructions). 

The stone can either be kept in the space with you, or placed on the area to be treated, or held in your palm as you work.

While smaller stones are ideal for holding in the hand or placing on chakra points, larger crystals are a wonderful complement to a Reiki setting.

Giving small stones to others when charged allows you to carry and release their energy over time.

Intention with Crystals and Reiki

A variety of crystals can be used to assist with healing that is required as every person has varied healing needs.

Jasper, a wonderful grounding stone that can also aid with worry, tension, or negative thoughts.

Rose quartz is excellent for those that need a boost of self-belief and self-love.

Some stones, like turquoise, which helps with breathing issues, the bones, and strengthens the immune system in those who are healing, encourage healing or are linked to particular bodily areas.

Citrine is claimed to give those who struggle with foggy thinking or low energy levels an endless supply of vitality, clarity, and concentration.

Some stones are quite self-explanatory, such as bloodstone, which encourages healthy circulation and banishes bad karma.

Others will need your discernment. Some, like green jade, are also useful as numerous sources.

By putting stones on certain chakra points, you may also enhance the reiki energy flow, so that specific imbalances can be treated more intensely.

Crystals and Reiki

Reiki is a flowing force of universal energy.

In order to facilitate the flow of the energy through Reiki, employing crystals may be an option for the practitioner. Each individual comes to  Reiki with their own need of energetic clearance or resetting of energies.

The crystal stones you select can help to maintain a energy flow from reiki.

Reiki may be an extremely emotional experience for some people, piercing years of defenses and energetic blockages.

Using crystals to assist the energy flow to be delivered is a way to enhance to session and aid in continued healing.

A reiki session can continue after the session is over by giving the patient the stones that were utilized during the session.

How to Cleanse Your Crystals

Your crystals will gradually assemble different psychic “residue” as a result of use.

This is perfectly normal and anticipated, but they will require routine cleansing — not just a quick wipe off — in order to allow you to practice healing with them.

The procedure of cleansing your Reiki crystals is really simple. A supply of pure or neutral elemental material is required; excellent options are sea salt and/or water.

Don’t combine salt and water, and be sure your crystals can withstand getting wet first.

You just need enough neutral source to cover the crystals’ bases when you place them in a bowl with neutral source.

The confined residue should dissipate into the salt or water, which should then be dumped outdoors, if you leave them overnight.

It can occasionally be more expedient for some individuals to cleanse their crystals with sage or incense.

Put your crystals somewhere where you can surround them with sage or incense smoke, and allow the smoke sweep any impurities away.

You may also utilize direct, natural light from the Sun to charge your crystals, which frequently also gives them a boost. 

After working with your crystals place them on a Selenite form or plate overnight to clear energetic residue collected.

How to Charge Your Crystals

Several methods may be used to charge your crystals.

 As with cleaning, some crystals “prefer” particular energy sources.

For certain crystals, a single night under a full moon may supply them with enough energy. 

The tried-and-true approach of using sunshine to charge your crystals works best if you can position them outside, but if not, a window will suffice.

Holding your crystals while absorbing reiki energy will suffice to charge them.

After each session with crystal work, wearing crystal bracelets or carrying crystals in your pocket….place them on a Selenite form or plate overnight for clearing energetic residue collected.
