How To Use Broken Crystals

Broken crystals are still very useful. Yes, you can still use a broken crystal and in this post I am going to explain what you can do with broken crystals to receive the most benefits.

Crystals sometimes break in nature due to pressure and other natural elements. They can also break during polishing and processing. Sometimes you just drop the crystal on the floor and it breaks as well. So what do you do if you broke your crystal?

First clean the crystal and discard any very small shards. Those can cause splinters and cut you, so be careful.

Satchel

You can place the broken crystal in a satchel, or draw string bag. You can also use a very small zip lock bag. Those are found in arts and craft sections at stores. This will keep you from losing or damaging the crystal further. The energy will still radiate out from the bag that you place the crystal in. You can hold the bag during meditation or place it in your pocket. It will still work just the same and this protects the crystal. It also protects you from getting cut by any sharp edges.

Jewelry

If the pieces are small enough, you can buy a cork top pendant. It looks like a small bottle and has a cork lid. You can open it and put things in it, then place it on a necklace to wear. You can find these at craft stores such as Hobby Lobby. They are very useful if you have small pieces of crystal that you want to keep and use.

Just place the broken pieces in the bottle pendant and secure the lid. Some people like to glue the lid on to prevent the pendant from coming apart. This is a good idea because sometimes the cork lids will pop off and your pendant will fall to the ground.

Box

You can use a small box for your broken crystals. Just place them in the box and meditate with it or use it as decoration. I actually have a pretty cool article about how to make a wish box. You can use that idea for your broken crystals. They would work perfectly.

Remember that broken crystals are just as useful as their intact counterparts. There is no reason to throw away your favorite crystal just because it broke. You can use broken crystals just like other crystals with a few adjustments.

How To Do Reiki Healing On Others

This is a how-to guide for giving reiki healing. I'm going to explain how you can give reiki healing to another person, even if you have never done it before. So let's begin.

Prep

Before you begin the session, you will want to make sure that you are ready. Meditate for at least 10-20 minutes to help open up your chakras. You can do a guided meditation for the chakras. There are plenty of really good ones online for free. Just listen to the meditation and follow along.

After your meditation, prep your hand chakras. There are small chakras in the palm of each hand. You will want these chakras to be open and for energy to be flowing through them.

Take a small crystal and hold it in your hands at the palms. Let the palms face each other with the crystal in between. Hold it there for some minutes until you feel energy.

You may need to remove the crystal in order to know whether or not you feel energy yet. If you can feel any of the following sensations in your hands, then you are ready:

• Tingling
• Pressure
• Heat/cold
• Pulsating

Introduce Your Client

Hopefully your client will already know what reiki healing is, but if they don't then give them a brief overview of what it is. You don't want to scare anyone or have them lying there in confusion.

Ask them to lay down and get comfortable. If they are unable to lay down for some reason, then it's okay for them to sit in a chair or do whatever is most comfortable for them.

Call In Help

If you believe in angels, then you may want to speak with your angels for help with the healing. If you believe in prayer, then that is fine too. This is for protection, and to add to the experience.

If you want to burn sage or palo santo, make sure to ask the client first. Some people really do not like the smell of burning sage. Sage and palo santo are highly protective and will be very good tools to use for cleansing a person's aura.

Hand Placement

When you are performing reiki energy healing, I think it's best to keep your hands at a distance. Have at least 3 inches between your hands and the person's skin.

A good way to start is to take your hands and go all over the person's body until you find an area that feels discordant. Then you will want to stay there and send energy until it feels integrated with the rest of the body's energy.

If the person has a known problem area, you can go there and place your hands above the area. Send energy for a long time. You will feel when it is time to move on.

One thing I like to do is sit at the person's crown and feed energy into it. This will help relax them.

Working on the main 7 chakras is also a great way to help someone. Look up a chart of the chakras so that you know where they are. Hold your hands above each one. Move from the root up to the crown.

Always Remember

Reiki healing can be hard on the healer and the person on the receiving end. For the healer, it can be draining and taxing on the body. For the person receiving, it can be overwhelming and hard to integrate the new energies.

There are ways to combat these problems. If you are a reiki healer who is feeling drained after healing sessions, make sure that your crown is open and that you are channeling energy properly to the client. Also, wear crystals and use them in the session. They will give you more energy and help you out a lot.

If the client feels overwhelmed, go slow. Make the sessions shorter. Don't do so much at once. Give them time to recalibrate before doing any more. Let them go home and take a warm epsom salt bath.

Tools

I've already mentioned some popular reiki tools, but I wanted to go over them in more detail. There are plenty of tools people use during reiki sessions.

Crystals-are used for helping bring more healing energy into the session. Selenite wands are very popular for these purposes.

Sage-both sage and palo santo can be burned. The smoke is used to purify the air and purify a person's aura.

Incense-incense is great for creating a relaxing environment.

Essential oils-lavender essential oil can make the atmosphere more pleasant and relaxing. You can use others as well. Clove and Frankincense are also really good to use for reiki.

Sounds-using relaxing music, meditation music, or any other music you feel is best can really help.

Singing bowls-singing bowls utilize sound healing. You will need to know what you are doing to use these, but they can be a very great tool.

What Is The Third Eye?

You may have seen me mention the third eye before, and opening the third eye. But some of you may not know what a third eye is. This post is for those people who want to know more about the third eye, what it does, and why anyone would want to open it.

Your third eye is one of the main energy centers in your body. These energy centers allow energy to flow through and around you so that your body can sustain life and health. Each energy center has a different function. The third eye functions as your connection to intuition.

The color associated with the third eye is indigo, which is a dark blue color.

The third eye is what allows people to have a "sixth sense" or psychic abilities. This is where you are able to perceive reality outside of the normal range that most people use. So, for example, you are able to hear outside of the range that is "supposed" to be perceived by humans. And in that case, you would be able to hear energy, spirits, ghosts, and other things that operate on a lower or higher frequency.

This also goes for seeing, tasting, smelling, feeling, etc. All of the senses are involved. When someone has a prophetic vision, it is because their third eye is open and they are in a calm state. They are able to pick up on subtleties that most cannot.

Working on your third eye increases your intuition and spiritual abilities. Usually the abilities that open up first are your more natural abilities. But if you continue to work at it, other abilities will also start to open up. A certain ability may come effortlessly to you, but another ability may take years to hone in on. This is completely normal. It takes time to learn and develop.

Some abilities you might notice after you open your third eye are seeing and talking to dead loved ones, astral projection and remote viewing, seeing spirits and angels, healing abilities, and the ability to feel other's emotions. The list goes on. Again, not all of these abilities open up at once. There will be some that you notice at first and others that take years to come along. It's different for everyone.

Now you might be getting an idea of why someone would want to work on their third eye to open and develop it. These abilities to sense beyond the usual reality are very helpful in life. You could get a bad feeling about a party, almost like a message from above that tells you not to go. Later on you find out that someone was shot and killed at that party. Your intuition spoke to you and told you not to go.

There are also negative effects of opening the third eye. Namely, you might see and hear things that are frightening and make you afraid to be alone. That is why everyone should use caution when working with the third eye. Protect yourself, and also work on the other chakras equally as much. Do not just focus on your third eye. All chakras have vital functions and there needs to be a balance.

So I hope this article helped explain what the third eye is to anyone out there who may have been curious. Until next time.
