Master Healer Stones

Those crystal questions just keep on coming!

Part of my reiki training that I give includes work with crystals. I had an email question about zeolite (the reiki stone), and if it is all that is needed. First let me say that no crystals or stones are "needed" for reiki healing. Anything that will help focus the healing however helps. Why not have a little extra energy flowing? It certainly cannot hurt at all!!!  When all you have is a piece of zeolite, you are more than ready to go!

These are what I consider the "master healer" stones. They stay charged and clean and they cover the most varied areas without carrying a hundred stones with you.

Cavansite
Amethyst
Quartz
Quantum Quattro
Bustamite
Seraphanite
Ocean Jasper
Tourmaline (removes blocks)

 I would add Apophyllite for relaxing the receiver,  lepidocrocite (bridges the spiritual and mundane and assists with hands on healing), and zeolite (the reiki stone). Then throw in a piece of Citrine for a little extra cleansing, or maybe a piece of carnelian (protector stone) charged for cleansing.

Some of these are easily obtained, some are more difficult or a little expensive (like quantum quattro). Each person I have given reiki master training to has received a piece of quantum quattro, it is a very powerful healer. That being said, you can get a small piece of each one of these stones for a total less than $75. It is a great investment if you are going to charge for reiki sessions. Remember that you don't have to buy them all at once either!

Part of the advanced reiki training I give lists issues and the stones to use for each.

Many of these harder to find stones are available on the internet. There are some great sellers on EBAY where your purchases are guaranteed, and also Mom's Minerals. You don't need huge pieces. Gem and mineral shows are great ways to get harder to find items, at great prices. Those of you in the Evansville area, there is a show on the weekend of October 27 where you will be able to get great buys.

Some people said they would love to collect stones, but don't have the money. Yes you do! Please do not be taken in by huge stores that charge outrageous prices. Even stones like ruby, garnet and sapphire do not cost much, as you do not need the high quality clarity that people want for designer jewelry. I have ruby, sapphire, garnet , all that I got for a couple of dollars. I have a chunk of garnet that is rough, right out of the ground that cost us $15. I think it weighs about 15 pounds. If I went to a fancy metaphysical store, I probably would have paid over $100 for it. Matt just bought a quartz piece with hundreds of little points, it looks like frost and ice. It is about 20" by 10". It cost him $10 at a gem and mineral show.

Buy the stone by size and quality for its' value as a stone, not a metaphysical tool. Rough and unpolished works just fine. You don't need it to look "pretty". You can also collect stones for their pretty, polished selves, and that is OK, they just cost a bit more for the labor and tools used for cutting and polishing.  You will get a much better deal from rock hounds, than "metaphysical" shops! Then there is the ultimate fun, there are many places that allow you to rock hunt. You pay a fee, rent tools if you need to, then off you go. What ever you collect is yours. We mined herkimers and had a blast. You will have to travel to where the stones are, but it is still worth it. Sell the extra you bring back and pay for your trip!

Happy crystal hunting!!!
