Basic Color Therapy, ritual color info., and basic Crystal Healing!

Basic Stone Working or Crystal Healing;

all stones have a direct affect on the human body system. This is not magic but rather a natural occurrence because all things especially living things have an electro magnetic field (e.m.f.), we humans call ours an aura. Scientists can now measure this to some degree. So when the e.m.f. frequency of a certain stone comes into contact with the e.m.f. frequency of our body there is a direct response which changes the frequency or vibrational level of our field. This is how crystal healing works. It maybe done through an energy session, or through jewelry, or through elixirs but this is basically how it works no matter what methodology you are using. though when taking something internally as with elixirs than there is also minerals which get absorbed into the body.

Cleansing crystals (the basics);

Running a crystal under pure cold running water will help cleanse it.

Letting a crystal sit in bowl of salt for half an hour or more will cleanse it; Sea salt is best, but table will work.

Sitting it on the ground will cleanse and charge it. Sitting it on the grass is alright but on soil is better.

The Shamanic Prana breath will cleanse it. Prana breathing is done by ritual or shamanic breathing. You breath in through your nose and hold for three seconds and then exhaling out of your mouth; make sure to breath from the diaphragm as much as the lungs; imagine all the air around you is bright white light; you breath in this light and exhale this light!

Certain symbols will cleanse, charge, and program crystals. What symbols you use will depend on your chosen belief systems. To cleanse use symbols that mean purification yo you. To charge, enchant, or empower crystals use symbols that mean power and protection to you. To program them, decide what intent you want to program them with (decide what you want to use them for in other words) and use an appropriate symbol(s) for the process.

Smudging will cleanse them; but incense won't cleanse them, only bless them; it has to be white sage and other cleansing sacred herbs like lavender to smudge them clean.

Moonlight will cleanse and bless crystals, and sunlight will charge them.


Programming and charging crystals (the basics);


Programming crystals requires an understanding of the power of symbols, words, and intent. Certain symbols, words, and phrases which equal information can be programmed and stored inside crystals. There are certain symbols and methods that help achieve this process.

A crystal should be cleansed before it is programmed. Once encoded with a piece of information it will always to some degree be part of the crystal. We can upload and down load certain information into and from crystals but their metaphoric hard drive can never completely be erased with any methods currently known to mankind. Crystals can be programmed with more than one intent but do not overload them; because believe or not they can and will shatter. Like wise after using a crystal during a ritual or healing you need to cleanse them lest they shatter, or become toxic!

You can program crystals by holding them in your right hand (for about 20 minutes) and intending them to be so. You can also add a mantra or power phrase to your efforts in order to make the process stronger. It is best to use the word, or mantra 9 times 9 times.

You can use a crystal or symbol grid or matrix to achieve this process. You can also leave the crystal on a picture or write a word or phrase on a piece of paper and leave the crystal on it for up to three days.

You can carve symbols into crystals to strengthen your intention.

You can place the crystals in a bowl of water and tone over them or play music over them to help program them; or you can place them on a speaker, or in front of one to do this. You can on some instruments lay the crystals on them and play them instruments. You can use tuning forks to accomplish this as well. Or you can hold them in your left hand often, and tone over them with your own voice.

To synchronize them to your energy, you can use the same process used to synchronize essential oils. Place the crystal in your left hand and use the index finger of your right hand. Circle the crystal in your left palm 9 times counterclockwise, then three times clockwise. Then tap the crystal three times.


To charge crystals there are a number of ways. Sitting them on the earth between 19 and 30 minutes is a good way. Sunlight will charge them; you can leave them in sunlight for half an hour or so. You can simply hold the crystal in your right hand and use your chi (life force energy) to fill it up, but I prefer to use higher energy vibrations like Reiki to do this. You can place them on an alter or in a sacred vessel and use your casting hand (the right hand, or dominate hand to some traditions) to circle the crystal 9 times and then use both hands to contain the energy till it has time to absorb into the crystal.

Place the crystal on a very large pre-programmed crystal can aid this process. You can use substances like starchamber water, holy water, certain essential oils, and holy oil on the crystal to empower it as well. Taking the crystal to a sacred place and letting it absorb the earth energies there can also accomplish this task. You can also use the elements to charge and bless the crystal. Let it touch running, falling, or sacred water; let it briefly touch flame and smoke (from candle, oil, or incense); let touch the earth; and let the wind blow on it, or use prana breath (breath of light and life) on it; and finally ask Spirit to come and bless it, and hold it close to your beating heart, stone to flesh (actually touching your skin)! You can also use tools like ritual tools like wands or starchamber tools to help accomplish this. Sitting it on different color fabrics will help program it for chakra work, and color therapy.

Sitting the crystal in pots besides certain plants can help this process. Or sitting the crystal at the base of an old very large sacred tree for half an hour can accomplish this as well. Many plants can energize crystals. One such plant is rose. Rosemary, lavender, lemon trees, and peppermint are all good for this work.

Holding the crystals in your right hand and praying over them can empower, and program them.

There are many more ways to accomplish these tasks but these are a few of the basics!
