The power and use of crystals and essential oils can be amazing. Many of you know that I use both essential oils and crystals in my Reiki practice.
Reiki energy is certainly enough on its own but I find certain essential oils and crystals can further relax my clients and even enhance Reiki’s healing frequency even more when used properly.
My intent here is to offer to you certain combinations of crystals and essential oils that can be used in combination to achieve certain benefits, with or without the use of Reiki. However, when used with Reiki, results can indeed be multiplied and intensified.
Essential Oils
To start with, I always use 100% organic essential oils in my Reiki practice and for my own personal use. These can be found quite inexpensively online. If applying directly to the skin, consider diffusing with carrier oil such as coconut or olive oil first because these oils are concentrated and can be quite strong. I recommend doing a patch test first to test for skin sensitivity. If all goes well with that, apply only a couple of drops to the bottoms of your feet and rub in or on the affected area. You can also rub into your temples or inhale from the palms of your hands or use an oil diffuser. Oils can also be applied directly to crystals after they have been cleansed and purified and programmed.
Crystals
Crystals emit their own particular energies and frequency and each has its own natural influence. It is important to cleanse, clear and program your crystal for its intended use.
To cleanse and clear, simply soak the crystal in salt water or place them in direct sunlight for a couple of hours. Alternatively, you can simply smudge it with silver sage. These processes will remove any negative or conflicting energies from the crystal that they may have picked up. Now your crystal or crystals are now clear and ready for you to program for your purpose.
If you are not a Reiki practitioner or Master, here is an effective technique you can use to achieve this. Place the crystal in the palms of your hands in a prayer fashion and raise them to your forehead and third eye chakra area. If you are religious, ask God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, or your angels and guides to infuse this crystal with the energy and ability to accomplish its intended purpose. If not, simply project your intention into the stone. This need not take more than a couple of minutes.
If you are a Reiki Practitioner or Master, you can cleanse and program your crystals using Reiki alone or in combination with the steps listed above for non-Reiki people. To cleanse crystals using Reiki you must be at least a Reiki II practitioner or higher by using the symbol, Sei He Ki, or other symbols depending on your level of Reiki training (This will not work if you haven’t been attuned to the particular symbol!) All levels of Reiki practitioners, including Reiki I practitioners can program crystals using Reiki. Simply perform Reiki on the crystals starting as you would with any session and using the appropriate symbols for influence and closing as you would any other Reiki session. The use of Reiki when programming gives your crystals a definite extra power punch so absolutely use it when you can. That is why I use them in my Reiki practice.
Once your crystals are cleansed and programmed they are best used for their intended purpose by being worn or being kept close to the body in your pocket or purse or on a nightstand or your desk at work, depending on what you wish to achieve. The closer they are to your body, the better.
Combinations Of Essential Oils And Crystals
The following are just a few I have used in the past and have worked well for me. This is not a complete list of essential oils or crystals or combinations that achieve the assigned results.
