Crystal Healing with Collette Stubbs
Choosing the best healing crystal for our own highest good The comforting thing about crystal healing is that you can’t overdose on it, you don’t get unpleasant side effects and you can use several different crystals all at the same time.
In the western world we categorize this concept under myth and magic and therefore suspect. If we could only suspend our cynical disbelief, and trust and accept, we would learn so much.
When the speaker for our meeting on Saturday 30th January let us down literally at the last minute, we were understandably peeved. The talk on Crystal Healing had been well publicised and members would have been disappointed to turn up and hear about water divining instead, so the hunt was on for another crystal healer who could step into the breach.
Fortunately, we found the perfect substitute in Collette Stubbs from Worcester , who knows her stuff and showed us how to heal ourselves, rather than just telling us, which is always more exciting.
Crystals are given to us by nature, undoubtedly for our use. Depending on colour, size and structure, they are believed to help a variety of maladies from depression and bereavement to cramp and can offer an increase in energy.
Collette invited us to rub our hands together then, holding them slightly apart, to feel the resulting energy. She stood against a white board and suggested we look past her, rather in the manner of those magic 3D pictures, to see her aura. Some of us could, many of us couldn’t. Not to worry, it will come.
Using a pendulum or dowsing rod, we initially gauged the current size of our own auras. We then chose a crystal from a selection Collette had brought with her, all colours, shapes and sizes. “You can either dowse for the best one for you with your pendulum,” she explained, “or simply hold your open hand over the trays until your middle finger dips. If that doesn’t work, just use your intuition and take the one that appeals to you.”
If there’s one thing you can trust in this world, it’s your intuition. It instinctively knows what is best for your highest good and will never let you down. So, having chosen the best crystal for us, we measured again. Simply holding the small stone for a few moments changed the size of our auras!
Sometimes a crystal is for life, but often you only need it for a short time, until it has healed you. The best way to apply healing is by placing the relevant crystal on the appropriate chakra of the body - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Yes, the colours of the rainbow.
The other wonderful thing about crystals is the price. They range from just £1 for a tumbled stone while a bracelet can be as little as £2.99. That’s cheaper than an NHS prescription!
