~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Many people have asked me how they can use Gemstone Therapy with Breathwork, and if it's a good idea to combine the two. The answer is simple. -Yes! They make fantastic healing partners, and it is easy to do. Some of you may be wondering what exactly Gemstone Healing is. Here's my simple answer: When science looks at solid matter, at form, it finds that everything is made of energy. Everything is in a constant state of vibration. Just like sound waves, or individual notes on a piano, everything is sending out a vibration. Trees, plants, animals, even rocks, are all vibrating with life force energy, right down to their tiniest molecules. -And even the spaces in between! It's all energy. We are interacting in a world that is much like a musical soup - with infinite variations of vibration and energy. Gemstones, or crystals, also each have their own vibration, based on their crystalline structure and mineral content. When this crystal energy enters your energy field, it can help clear out imbalances or disturbances (disease, discomfort, congestion, etc.) from your Spiritual-Energy body, your Mental Body (thought,) and Physical Body. There are millions of gemstones out there, so how do you Choose the Right ones? One way is to use the gems and crystals that you feel attracted to. I really believe that with this method you can't go wrong. Most people are going to feel an inner YES when they find the right ones. This is easier to do if you are more introspective and tuned into yourself, without allowing other things or people to distract you. Another way to choose your gems and crystals is to seek a Gemstone Healer's advice. This can be done either in person, or by reading books about individual gemstones and their specific healing qualities. The most potent crystals and gemstones you will find are of Therapeutic Quality. In my own personal experience, and for many others, medicinal grade therapeutic gemstones provide superior results. Visit Gemstone-Energy.com or click here for more information about medicinal grade crystals. To use Gemstone Healing in your Breathwork Sessions, there are several ways you can work with the crystals. You can place them near your body or directly on 'problem' areas of your body. (If needed; use medical tape to keep them in place!) You can also simply hold them in your hand(s). Another method is for you, (or your Breathworker,) to hold them about 4 inches over your body. -remaining in one place, or moving in gentle sweeping motions above the body. You can also set up a 'grid' which simply means to place several gems around your feet, head, and hands, or in corners of the room. When you place several gems in a grid, it sets up an 'energy field.' -The gemstone's individual vibrations interact with each other, to create a fusion of crystal energy in the space they are in. With so much information, various opinions, and different skill levels, I think people are too often overwhelmed by the world of crystals and gemstone healing. I am of the opinion that you can't go wrong. Just let yourself play, discover, and enjoy your experience with gems. Approaching breathwork and crystal healing with a playful, open attitude brings the best results. Have Fun with gemstones! Most children are fascinated and filled with Joy from their beauty. There is a reason why! Some of my most amazing, powerful, and 'angelic' Breathwork sessions have happened with Gemstone Healing. I highly recommend giving it a try.
