In order to take advantage of the healing properties of gemstones and crystals, the subject must be relaxed, calm and with a clear head. It is sometimes a good idea to exercise or carry out some sort of physical work before commencing. The subject should then relax and focus the mind on the inner self. It is also important to have something to eat and drink so that a sense of equilibrium prevails during the session. Before commencing the ‘gemstone therapy’ the subject must first become totally relaxed using relaxation techniques. It is best to lie in a darkened room and carry out breathing exercises for five or ten minutes. There should be no noise or outside interference during the therapy session.
The following remedies are recommended using the associated gemstones or crystals outlined either as a therapy session or simply at the time of going to bed at night:
Headaches
Amethyst is a very useful gemstone for the treatment of headaches as it frees blocked energies. The subject should lie down and place an amethyst on the forehead. Amethysts should be placed on both sides of the neck just above the collar bone. Within five or ten minutes the pain should begin to subside.
Insomnia
Insomnia can develop for a number of different reasons and certain rock crystal can be beneficial in restoring normal sleeping patterns. It is a good idea to go to bed at night with a piece of Chrysoprase under the subjects pillow. On the other hand if the sleeplessness is as a result of stress then amethyst or citrine should be used. The patient may simply wish to go to bed holding these stones in the palm of the hand. If the subject’s sleep is disturbed each night by nightmares then it is best to use a stone like tourmaline or labrodite.
Lethargy
Energy levels are sapped when there is an imbalance of the system. Certain gemstones and crystals will restore the equilibrium and increase energy levels. The stones most useful in restoring energy and vitality are Rubies, amber and jasper. The subject should lie on their back and place these stones in each hand and one at the base of the solar plexus.
Depression
Kunzite is an attractive pale pink stone and it has excellent healing properties capable of expelling emotional baggage. The use of Rhodocrosite will help to promote a better self image and self worth while Rose Quartz will have a very definite calming and reassuring effect.
PMT
Period pains can often be eased with the use of Moonstones or opals.
