Healing Bud Chakras On Animals

Working with animals and their chakra centers is a fun part of animal healing. The ones that amaze me the most are the animal’s Bud Chakras. Most animals have six bud chakras that help detect energy and frequency shifts. These are amazing sensory areas for the animals and can help explain a lot of behavior to humans if we pay close attention to them.

There are four Bud Chakras on the lower part of each animal. One is located on the bottom of each foot, hoof, claw, pad, or paw. These four energy centers help the animal’s ground their own energy as well as sense energy shifts. For example, these are the energy sensors that help detect when earthquakes are coming, as you will notice a wide variety of animal’s fleeing a local area a few days before this happens. You can heal these chakra areas using Brown Carnelian or Jasper.

There are two Bud Chakras on each of the animal’s ear. These are located at the base opening on each side. These also aid the animal is their ability to sense energy shifts that are not directly sensed through the ground or their foot bud chakra points. You can work on these Bud Chakras with a combination of Amber and Clear Quartz for healing or removal of any blockages.

Make sure you work on these areas with sensitivity, as animals are not as open to allow healing for these areas due to the extreme changes they can feel. Begin a session by being grounded and center, along with an open heart and mind will bring about a successful session for you and the animal alike.

Healing Brachial Chakra On Animals

Animal chakra centers are very similar to that of human’s, except for one major center. Humans have seven major chakra areas in our physical bodies. Animal’s, however, have eight major centers. The eighth center is something fairly new to the healing area concerning animals.

The eighth chakra center is called the Brachial chakra and is located between the shoulders on the back. This chakra center is a link that connects all of the other major chakra centers together. This is also a major connection between animal and human bonding issues. For any kind of healing on an animal, whether it is a general healing session or a customized healing, make sure you work through the Brachial chakra center first!

When this chakra center is not balanced, or is blocked with stagnant or negative energy the animal will not want to be touched, will act withdrawn from daily activities and healing session, and will show a behavioral patter of refusal for connections with humans and bonding issues. There are two types of different healing that can be done for these concerns. Black Tourmaline should be used if the animal is reluctant to connect with a session or person. Herkimer Diamonds should be used for a general healing session and a connection to all of the major chakra areas.

Make sure to begin each session with an open mind and heart, be well grounded and centered and have no fear within your own energy system. You and the animal will both be thankful that you did!

Healing Crown Chakra On Animals

Crown chakras on animals serve a similar purpose to that of which we use our crown chakras as human energy centers. This area is a wonderfully accessible point for the animal to receive energy from the Universal Source and to work on self-healings as well.

The animal’s crown chakra, also called the seventh chakra, is located on top of his/her head between the animal’s ears. This chakra area is associated with the color of white or clear. There has been some debate about the sixth and seventh chakra centers and the colors associated with them, introducing indigo, violet, purple, clear and white colors. There is no right or wrong way for either process to unfold. What is best is to work through this area as to what best resonates within you and the animal you are working on for the healing.

The seventh chakra is the energy center that deals with the animal’s connection to the Universe, Spirit, Universal Source, cosmic consciousness, oneness with all, and spirituality issues. When this chakra center is not balanced or is blocked with stagnant or negative energy, the animal can become depressed, feeling confined, showing signs of intense anxiety issues, and feeling withdrawn. You want to make sure this chakra area is open, balanced, and resonating within the animal’s needs. To do this use a crystal or combination or crystals, such as Clear Quartz, Tanzanite, and Diamond.

For any kind of healing on an animal, make sure you are grounded, centered and approach the healing session with an open heart and mind. When this is done you and the animal will both be grateful for the session you completed!

Healing Third Eye Chakra On Animals

Working with animals and healing is such a rewarding experience, not only for the animal with the physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual issue, but also for the practitioner that is working with the healing. You can use a combination of techniques for animal healings, such as energy work, vibrational, crystal usage, massage, acupuncture, acupressure, and many more. Find what works best and the area that you are drawn to before you begin your animal healing session.
The sixth chakra on an animal is similar to that of a human’s. This chakra area is called the third eye or brow chakra, is located at the center of the forehead just above the eyes, and is associated with the color purple and violet. Now there is some confusion around the colorations of the sixth and seventh chakras with introducing indigo, purple, violet, and clear or white colorations for these chakras. The sixth chakra can be associated with either the purple/violet color and it can also be associated with the indigo coloration. Please feel free to use what resonates within you for your work with humans and animals alike.

When working with the third eye chakra, this area deals with acceptance of self, spiritual energy, intuition, keen perception, wisdom, and receiving guidance. When this area is not balanced or the chakra center is blocked an animal can appear to have headaches, physical ailments and issues concerning his/her eyes or sight, and can become easily distracted. The appropriate crystals to be used for a healing of this area would be Fluorite, Amethyst, and Lapis Lazuli.

Healing Throat Chakra On Animals

A lot of times people don’t always think about animals and their chakra points, especially when focusing on the animal’s fifth chakra area, until something happens that deals with a vocal issue. Animal’s energy centers can become blocked, damaged, stagnant, and need healing energy just as much as our human energy centers do!

An animal’s fifth chakra center, also called the Throat Chakra, is located at the animal’s throat located near his/her vocal cords. This energy center is associated with the color blue and deals with issues of communication, expression, eloquence, and faith. When this energy center is not balanced, or is blocked and has a lot of stagnant energy, the animal will not be able to communicate normally. This can go to either extreme from being very vocal with excessive barking, howling, whining, crying, meowing, purring, hissing, etc. This can also go to the opposite extreme when the animal’s voice becomes raspy, less vocal or eve completely stopping his/her vocalization.

I prefer to work with crystals and energy healing when working with animals and their behavioral patterns. For the throat chakra area you can use crystals such as Aquamarine, a good one for this area, along with Blue Quartz or even Blue Topaz. Remember to always listen to your intuition, work with an open heart and mind, and a balanced and grounded energy before starting an animal healing session. If you do these simply things you will have a successful healing and both you and the animal will be thankful that you did!

Healing Heart Chakra On Animals

Animal’s have wonderful big hearts and have the compassion and love to share with us all, unconditionally! This has been shown time and time again in all sorts of areas, with all sorts of animals, from dogs, cats, horses, birds, etc. There is no reason to not want to help balance out the animal’s chakra centers that provide us with these unconditional love embraces!

There are two chakra centers located very closely to each other for this area. One is called the heart charka, which is also called the fourth chakra center and is associated with the color of green. The fourth chakra center is a major energy center for the animal. There is another one called the higher heart chakra, and is located four to six inches above the heart chakra, is associated with the color of pink and is a minor chakra center. These two chakra areas in combination work in balancing the emotional stability for the animal. They are located in the front of the chest area, or an alternative location is just behind the forelegs of the upper cheat area.

These two chakra areas work on balancing relationships with an emotional connection, unconditional level balance, tolerance, forgiveness, and compassion. When there is a blockage in either of these chakras or they are not balanced the animal can show signs of sadness, jealousy, self-centered issues, grief, overly possessive, or be unwilling to interact with others.

When working with this chakra energy center for healing make sure to a combination of crystals with green and pink colorations to balance both the minor and major chakra areas. Crystals that can be used for these areas are ones such as Emerald, Jade, Rose Quartz, and Pink Topaz.

Healing Solar Plexus Chakra On Animals

Animals and their energy levels need some healing at times just as much as we do as humans sometimes. They cannot always tell us that they need this healing in a verbal and vocal way, but do express this in other ways with their actions, emotions, and physical displays and changes in behavior. Working on animals for healing issues can be a trying task at times especially with this communication gap in place. But if you work through the healing with an open heart, mind, and following your intuition this will provide a successful session for you and the animal.

Working on an animal’s third chakra, also know as the solar plexus chakra, can help with many issues. This energy center is located in the middle of the back area, but remember this can also be accessed from the underside of the animal as well. The third chakra center is a yellow color based correspondence.

When working with this energy center make sure to understand its governing energy works on an animal’s sense of determination, personal power, assertion, and sense of self. When this area is not balanced or there is a blockage in this energy center the animal will show signs of fear, dominating, withdrawn, hatred, or even an overemphasis of power. Make sure to be careful when balancing this chakra center as the animal physical behavior can sometimes be overwhelming in this area.

For an animal healing session for this area, I prefer to work with Citrine, Tiger’s Eye, Yellow or Golden Calcite, and Topaz. Balancing this energy center will help the animal’s behavior to calm down and work on its emotional issues at hand.

Healing Sacral Chakras On Animals

Pet’s and animal’s need our healing capabilities just as much as humans do. They have emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental issues and ailments too. Unfortunately we do not always understand or see them until they are so far to one extreme or the other due to a major communication gap.

But no matter when or where the animal is on its healing pathway, it can be helped with a variety of different healing techniques. You can use crystal healing, energy or vibrational healing, massage techniques, acupuncture, and many more to help our animal companions in our life.

The animal’s second chakra, also know as the sacral chakra, is located in the lower back region between the tail and the middle of the back. This chakra center is associated with the color orange and works on issues with expression, emotional balance, control and sexuality. When working on animal’s, and with an imbalanced chakra or a chakra blockage these signs can be shown as being overly emotional, hormonal issues, boundary issues with people as well as other animals, and can also be excessively vocal, including purring, whining, squawking, hissing, barking, howling, meowing, and many more.

For healing the second chakra area, you want to use whatever combination of healing techniques that feels right for you and the animal that is needing some help. I prefer to use crystal vibrational healing for animal sessions. Working with Carnelian, Orange Calcite, and Coral are wonderful stones for this purpose. Make sure to cleanse the stones before and after each session, as you do not want to pass along energy to another animal or human from a prior session.

Healing Root Chakras On Animals

Animals and chakra work can be an interesting combination. When working with the animal’s chakra points you need to remember where they are located, what colors correspond with each chakra area, as well as the basic techniques you wish to use, whether they are a vibrational healing, energy healing, or even something as simple as crystal healing for them.

An animal’s root chakra is located at the base of his/her spine. Another way of locating this chakra, depending on the animal, is to locate when the tail meets the body. This chakra center is the animal’s first, or root, chakra and the coloration associated with this chakra is red, just as in human energy chakra work. For an animal’s root chakra, this deals with issues of security, awareness of his/her physical body, and physical survival. Typical issues concerning this chakra when it is not balanced are shown as signs of being fearful, aggression, flight reactions, restlessness, and sluggish behavior.

There are many different ways to heal this chakra area. You can use a combination of chakra based energy forms to balance this area, as well as vibrational techniques such as Tibetan singing bowls or drumming. I personally enjoy working with crystals and animal work combined. For the root chakra of an animal, and yes any animal from dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, fish, and wild animals alike, you can use Hematite, Garnet, Red Jasper, or Unakite to balance out this area.

When working with the animals and any kind of healing make sure to listen to your intuition, have an open mind and heart, don’t be fearful, and watch the animal’s reaction to the work you have provided to make a successful session for you and the animal you are helping.

Animal Chakra Centers & Healing

Animals have chakra centers, just as human’s do! This is probably an easy thing to understand as they are living things too! What a lot of people don’t know about them are what areas do they govern, their attributes and even the responses they feel from blockages or unbalanced energies.

Animals have eight major chakra centers, not seven like humans, along with very important Bud Chakra centers that allow them to detect sudden energy shifts, disturbances, and frequency changes.

Here is a guideline to an animal’s major chakra areas:

Root Chakra – This is located where the tail meets the body of the animal and is associated with a red coloration and physical survival issues.

Sacral Chakra – This is located in the lower back between the tail and middle back area and is associated with the orange coloration and control issues.

Solar Plexus Chakra – This is located in the middle of the back area and is associated with the yellow coloration and determination issues.

Heart Chakra – This is located in the front of the chest area and is associated with the green coloration and emotional issues.

Throat Chakra – This is located in the animal’s throat area near the vocal cords and is associated with the blue coloration and communication issues.

Third Eye Chakra – This is located at the center of the forehead area just above the eyes and is associated with the purple or violet coloration and wisdom issues.

Crown Chakra – This is located on top of the animal’s head between their ears and is associated with the white or clear coloration and spirituality with the divine.

Brachial Chakra – This is located between the shoulders on the back of the animal and is associated with human bonding issues.

Bud Chakras – These are located one on the bottom of each foot, paw, pad, claw, or hoof, and one on each base opening on each ear, for a total of six energy centers. These are associated with sensing energy shifts or frequencies.

Make sure you balance all of the energy centers out to keep a healthy pet physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually!

Healing Our Animal Companions

Our animal companions are living breathing counterparts that have similar issues to us as humans with physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual ailments and problems. A lot of people care for their animals just as much as they do their own family, children, or loved ones because they are our loved ones! I have four canines to date and love them as much as I do my own human children, as they are my canine kids! So why do we not treat them in the same aspect and provide healing services for them too!

Animals are fun to work with, but can sometimes be hard to understand. The communication gap when working with animals is the hardest part to overcome when working with alternative healings. Vets have gone to school for many years learning to work on their physical issues and know all of the in’s and out’s of the animals. I take my own dogs to a local vet, but I also provide them with an alternative therapy with energy work, vibrational healing, massage, and animal remedies. These are a great way to try the animal as a whole instead of just the ailments we see.

Energy work, such as Reiki and other forms, can be used to provide the animal an energy boost, healing session, relaxation and to provide a calmness about them. Vibrational healing can be done with crystals, instruments such as drum, Tibetan singing bowls, and many others as a form for healing ailments and issues dealing with behavioral problems. Massage can be incorporated in alternative work with animals, and they so love this combined with an energy session to amplify all of the results being given to them. Animal remedies can be those alternative forms of flower remedies or even charged water with crystal healing properties or energy forms of charging. These all provide a more balanced output for your animal companion in addition to his/her regular vet appointments. So remember to treat them with as much love as they show you on a daily basis.

Salt Bed Cleansing Of Crystals

Salt beds are great ways to cleanse crystals without having them soak in salt water. It is not recommended to soak softer crystals in salt water, as this can damage the crystal. So this is a fun alternative if you enjoy using sea salt as a cleansing method. Crystal cleansing is important to all crystals, as they need to be cleansed from energetic debris and imprints from prior healing sessions or just being handled by others and having energetic imprints attached to them.

This is a fun and enjoyable cleansing technique that I think is overlooked by a lot of crystal practitioners. When your crystals are resting on a sea salt bed, the salt is absorbing the negative energy, imprints, debris, and any issues that the crystals are holding from their prior work. This type of cleansing is very effective, even for those crystals that do not hold onto energy from a session, as this still provides them with a boost of energy to keep their own vibrational output at a high level.

To use a sea salt bed, simply pour a sufficient layer of sea salt onto a small glass plate. Make sure there is enough salt for the amount of crystal(s) that you are cleansing. You can cleanse more than one crystal at a time using this method; just make sure you have enough salt for them to rest upon comfortably without touching the other crystals. Again, the salt will absorb the energy from the crystals, so it is always better to have more salt than not enough. Place your crystals on top of your generous mound of coarse sea salt and let them rest overnight for a deep cleansing.

Sage Tea Cleansing Of Crystals

Sage tea cleansing is probably one of the most fun ways to cleanse crystals that combine a water cleanse and a sage cleanse together into one session. With these two components working together it makes for a strong energetic cleansing session. You always want to make sure you cleanse your crystals from energetic debris or imprints before and/or after each healing session or when being handled by others if the crystal or stone does not have a sealed protection around its vibrational fields.

Sage tea cleansing is not always the quickest type of cleansing to perform, but provides the crystals with an excellent result and high vibrational level after this is perform. To start you will need fresh sage, this is much better than working with dried sage for a tea blend, purified water, your crystals, and a pot to make the tea in. Heat the water to boiling and add the fresh sage in to steep. Once this is done, allow the tea to cool and strain out the fresh sage. Place your crystal in a glass bowl and pour the sage infused tea over your crystal. Allow this to bathe overnight and in the morning rinse your crystals and gently pat them dry.

A sage tea cleansing can be done for multiple crystals in one glass bowl for cleansing purposes. Please do make sure that you are working with harder crystals and stones for this type of cleansing, as softer crystals and stones cannot be exposure to this type of cleansing for long periods of time.

Mirror Cleansing Of Crystals

Mirror cleansing is an extremely simple cleansing process you can perform to keep your crystals cleansed of energetic debris and imprints from previous healing sessions or just being handled by others. This is probably one of the easiest forms to use, and is used quite a bit by beginners because of its simplicity.

What mirror cleansing does is reflect back and outward any issues that are needed to be cleansed off of the crystal. It does not just reflect back, but back and outward so that the vibrational field and levels for the crystal go back to its balanced state. The mirror does not hold onto the energy in any way, shape or form, so there is no need to energetically cleanse the mirror unless you feel a need to do so.

To perform a mirror cleansing session, simply locate a small hand-held type of mirror or any other type of small mirror that you can easily place on a tabletop, dresser, nightstand, or alter. Simply place a single crystal on top of the mirror with the intention in your mind of having the mirror cleanse this overnight. In the morning remove your crystal and you are done. It is as simple as that.

You want to make sure you work with only one crystal per mirror at a time for this process to be the most effective in cleansing. Mirror reflection energy is a strong component to work with, but is not as strong when compared to a nature element for cleansing such as rain, water, and solar or lunar energy. For these reasons it is best to only cleanse one crystal or stone at a time with this method.

Sand Cleansing Of Crystals

Sand cleansing is a fun way to act like a kid again and cleanse your crystals all at the same time. It is very effective for cleansing the crystals of energetic debris and imprints that have been gathered by previous healing sessions and handling of other people. The only down fall to sand cleansing is that is has a tendency to remove the polish off of tumbled and polished stones and can even scratch some of the softer crystals that we use.

Sand cleansing is using a nature element that most people would not think to use for a cleansing session. It is very effective in its purposes, and if used correctly will not harm your crystals in anyway. For a sand cleansing session you will need a small amount of sand, a water bottle of purified water and the crystal(s) you want to cleanse. Make sure you have enough sand though to bury all of the crystals completely as you do not want any spots being shown to the air surface.

Gently mist the sand down with your purified water bottle first before placing your crystal(s) in this. You want to make sure you moisten this and turn or sift this a few times. Once the sand becomes wet it will be harder to move but is necessary so you get all of the sand moistened. After this gently place your crystal(s) in the sand and make sure they are buried on all sides. Leave them there for 2 hours and gently move the sand away when removing them. Rinse them thoroughly to remove any tiny sand grains and pat them dry afterwards.

Fire Cleansing Of Crystals

Fire cleansing is a unique way to work with crystals cleansings. When you think of crystal cleansing, fire energy doesn’t always come to mind as a favorite, but it is a way of cleansing your crystals from energetic debris and imprints that can occur from previous healings or handling of the crystals. Fire energy is a natural element and can be effective, but also needs to be handled with care when using this cleansing method.

I do not normally recommend using fire cleansing for crystals for some of the most obvious reasons. Fire can burn! Not only yourself but also your crystals! But still this is a long and time old tradition that is still practiced in many parts of world as their first and foremost way of cleansing crystals.

Let me state again, fire can damage your crystals if not very very careful with this method. To start, you will need only your harder crystals. Do not try this on your softer crystals at all; as this can damage crystals in general, but when working with softer crystals this will harm them to a degree where you will not be able to use them again. Make sure you also have a long handled matchstick. Strike the match to ignite the fire and very quickly pass your crystal through the fire flame three times for this to be cleansed. Remember to be careful and not to get burned doing this cleansing method, as it can be tricky when you have never used it before.

Mother Earth Cleansing Of Crystals

Mother Earth cleansing of crystals is probably one of my most favorite cleansings to offer our crystal companions. This gives us a chance to send back to Mother Earth something that we are using for healing purposes to give it a nature cleanse and charge. Crystals need to be cleansed and charged to not only remove energetic debris and imprints but to also bring their energy back to a high vibrational state to work and provide us with their healing abilities. Mother Earth cleansing gives them a chance to do these things!

You can offer a Mother Earth cleansing to your crystals in a simple fashion. I recommend doing this in a natural spot, not in potting soil or dirt in a pot. A lot of people say they don’t have a backyard or anywhere they can do this and want to know if potting soil will give the same results. I am here to tell you it will not, so please use a natural element. If you do not have a backyard of your own, ask a friend or family member if you can do this in there yard.

Make sure you have your crystals you wish to cleanse, as you can cleanse more than one crystal this way. Make sure you have the crystal(s) wrapped in cheesecloth first and then wrapped in a piece of silk. If you do not have silk, you can use another type of material that is special to you for these purposes. Wrap the crystal(s) and bury them about 6-8 inches into Mother Earth and gently cover them up. Make sure to place a stone or marker of some kind to remind you exactly where you buried them. Remove them after 24 hours and gently shake or rinse the remaining dirt off with purified water.

Sound Vibrational Cleansing Of Crystals

Sound vibrational cleansing is a great way to incorporate the vibrational aspects of the healing from the crystal into the cleansing of this as well. Crystals need to be cleansed from their energetic debris and imprints from previous healing sessions or being handled by people. Why not work with a vibrational cleansing for a vibrational crystal!

Sound vibrational cleansing can be done with a variety of tools. Some examples of them are a tuning fork, drums, bells, Tibetan singing bowls, and Tibetan cymbals. These each put out a unique vibrational sound to cleanse all of the debris from within the crystals own vibrational field.

For sound vibration cleansing, you need to have the tool at hand you wish to use along with the crystal. If you are cleansing more than one crystal at a time you will need to use the tool of your choice more than once.

Make the sound activate with your tool, such as the Tibetan singing bowl. After your strike the bowl and continue the sound, place the crystal, holding this between your thumb and first finger, inside of the bowl for a few moments and then remove. If you are using something such as a tuning fork, bell, or drum, activate this sound and hold the crystal as close as you can to this for a few moments without disrupting the sound. For Tibetan cymbals, you will strike them together and then place the crystal in-between the cymbals for the sound cleansing to occur. After you have cleansed one crystal, do this process over again for each individual crystal you need to cleanse.

Rain Cleansing Of Crystals

Rain cleansing of crystals is actually a very fun thing to do, not only for the crystals, but you as well. Rain cleansing is a nature based cleansing that removes the energetic imprints and debris from within the vibrational fields of the crystal. This combines the element of water with the rain cleanse to make it fun for all!

When working with rain cleansing you want to make sure you are using this with stones that will not rust first and foremost. If there is a chance that the particular crystal you want to use will rust if left out in the rainwater, please choose another crystal cleansing method.

To do a rain cleanse for your crystals, all you need are the crystals that are going to be cleanse and a gentle rain shower. Unfortunately we cannot always predict when these light rain showers will be, as this is the one down fall of working with rain cleansing.

Once it starts to gently rain, simply place your crystals outside in a safe place for at least 30 minutes. Rain cleansing is much quicker than typical water cleansing because this incorporates an Earth element into the picture. The fun part of this cleansing is going in and out to get your crystals. Remember to gently dry them off when you bring them in.

To make it a special time for you and your crystals, take your shoes off and go barefoot. You will connect to Mother Earth doing so and enjoy the process so much more.

Lunar/Moon Energy Cleansing Of Crystals

Lunar, or moon, energy cleansing is a great way to use a nature element to cleanse crystals. This can be most effective with crystals such as a moonstone, as this is a high vibrational match with the lunar energy and the vibrational energy of the moonstone. You can cleanse any type of crystals with lunar energy too!

This type of energy cleanse, as opposed to its counterpart the solar energy, is a much calmer type of energy cleanse for your crystals. This one can be done on all cycles of the moon, but I have found that full moon cycles work the best for cleansing purposes. This can remove any and all energetic debris and imprints that the crystal may be holding within their vibrational fields.

The one thing I highly recommend when working with lunar energy is to make sure you place your crystals in a secure location for this, especially if you leave them outside. There are many curious wildlife creatures that are stirring about in the darkness and they will not hesitate to take your crystals! So if you wish to put them outside, make sure they are placed where one of nature’s kind will not take this. Not so much as the missing crystal, but it is not healthy for the wild animals to eat, bite or digest – plus it is then missing from your crystal collection.

You can also place crystals indoors for lunar cleansings. This way they are safe and secure in their own right. To do this simply mist your crystals with purified water and place them in a moonlit windowsill and allow them to rest overnight. They will absorb the lunar energy and still be safe and sound come morning, along with all of nature’s animals!

Solar Cleansing Of Crystals

Solar energy cleansing is an excellent way to cleanse your crystals with a nature element. The sun provides such a high vibrational output that they radiate to this in such a positive way.

The only down side to working with solar energy and cleansing of crystals is that they can fade the colors of your crystals, especially if they are left out there to long. I have seen a lot of people take their crystals outside and put them on a patio or garden table and say they are only going to leave them there for a short amount of time, and they then walk inside for something and completely forget about them. Now fading of the crystals can take some time to do, but it can happen, not to mention the crystals get extremely hot if left in the sun to long. A wonderful tip, if you wish to work with solar energy cleansing, is to make sure you are constantly aware of them for these reasons.

To use a solar energy cleansing, make sure you gently mist your crystals with purified water before placing them within the solar rays. I recommend placing them somewhere such as a sunny windowsill while you are in the room. If you wish to take them outside with you, another good tip is to keep a timer going like on a watch. Once the timer goes off, you will remember to take your crystals back inside.

Solar energy is a great way to cleanse your crystals, just be careful to remember that you want to cleanse them of their energetic debris and imprints, not fade their colors of have them overheat!

Water Cleansing Of Crystals

Water cleansing seems to be one of the easiest and quickest ways to work with crystals and cleansing formats. It can be accessed pretty much anywhere from tap water to purified bottled water and can be done in almost any area you can think of.

Water cleansing brings a nature element into the picture when working with crystals. Now it is not rain we are speaking of, but water in general. This can cleanse your crystals on an energetic level to make sure that no debris or energetic imprints are attached to the crystals from previous healing sessions or from them being handled. This is very important when working with crystals, not only for yourself, but for the benefit of those you work on too!

When using a water cleanse on crystals, you want to make sure if you are working with a harder crystal or a softer crystal. Harder crystals can be placed in a glass bowl with a small amount of sea salt and let them soak for 1 hour for a good cleanse. After this remove your crystal, gently pat this dry and properly dispose of the water.

Softer crystals can be damaged in water and sea salt if let for this amount of time. For softer crystals, it is best if you simply hold them in your hand and gently drench them with room temperature purified water. Gently pat them dry afterwards.

Either option you choose for your crystals, especially if you work on their hardness scale, will effectively cleanse all energetic imprints and debris from their vibrational fields and bring them back to their vibrant healing power from within.

Sage Smudge Cleansing Of Crystals

Sage smudging is a fun way to cleanse your crystals. It is simple and effective in its process, and can be used on a variety of stones.

Sage smudging is when you use either a sage smudge stick or dried sage in an incense burner to cleanse your crystals. Crystal cleansing is very important as this removes the energetic debris that can gather into the crystals own vibrational healing fields. Cleansing them is a way to remove this debris and energetic imprints so that the crystal is back to a high vibrational state for healing assistance.

The only downfalls with sage smudging is generally the fact that most people do not want to burn incense or light a smudge stick for just one crystal to cleanse. This is something that is best held off until you have multiple crystals to cleanse at the same time. Now if you just finished a chakra crystal healing session and have 16 stones to cleanse, this is ideal. You can cleanse as many or as few crystals as you wish with this method.

For a sage smudge stick, simply light one end and wait until the smudge smoke is fully noticeable. Pass the crystal through the smudge smoke at least 4 times back and forth through the smoke turning after each pass. So one pass through the smoke and turn and pass it back through the smoke. One pass through is back and forth, so a total of 8 motions for an entire crystal to be cleansed. This only takes a few moments to complete.

When using dried sage and an incense burner, the same method applies as stated above, just make sure to not burn your hand or crystal if you get this to close to the burner. Also make sure there is adequate amount of smoke coming from the burner.

Top Crystal Cleansing Techniques

Crystal cleansing is such an important part of crystal healing work that it cannot be overlooked. Crystal cleansing is a simple way of saying you are removing the energetic debris ad imprints from crystals that can collect on their energetic fields from healing sessions, people handling them and much more.

There are many different ways to cleanse crystals for healing, and I will discuss a few in this article with you. The most important thing I can tell you about cleansing crystals though is to work with the intention behind this and to do what resonates within your energy fields. There are also a few crystals out there that do not require to be cleansed, as they do not hold energy imprints and energetic debris. It is still a good tool to cleanse these though, as this can help purify the energy and make the crystals vibrational field feel so much more brighter when working with them.

Some of the top crystal cleansing sessions that resonate within the majority of people are smudge stick cleansing, water cleansing, solar energy, lunar energy, rain cleansing, sound vibrational cleansing, Mother Earth energy, sand cleansing, mirror energy cleansing, fire energy, and sage tea cleansing. Remember that solar energy, fire energy, and sand cleansing can damage any kind of crystals and fade them. For water types of cleansing; basic water cleansing, rain cleansing, and sage tea cleansing, make sure you use harder crystals for these types of cleansing. Softer crystals can become damaged with them, so a gentle mist or quick run under purified water works best.

Make sure to listen to your own intuition when working with your crystals and stones and to appreciate them for they are the ones who provide their vibrational output of healing.

Overcoming Obstacles To Get What You Want

Have you ever wanted something so much that you could almost taste it? Everyone has at some point in his/her life. It can become frustrating, overwhelming, exhausting, and probably a lot of other feelings as well, but what do you do about it and how can you change it.

There are a lot of different ways to tackle this, as it depends on what you believe and feel that resonates within your own vibrational fields. The fun part of this is there is no right or wrong way of doing anything to accomplish it. The only thing that would possibly be wrong is doing nothing about it to gain that goal.

This is when the imagine of a big gorilla comes to mind. I saw this video the other day that mentioned this exactly the way I work with it in my coaching sessions. When there is something you want so much, a goal you are desiring, it is like wrestling with a gorilla. You wrestle and wrestle and wrestle and eventually you get tired, right? But who gets tired first – you or the gorilla? Generally based on gorilla sizes, you do! But even if you were to lie there lifeless and drained, this would not accomplish your goal. You do not exceed at your winning until the gorilla is exhausted and tired and decides to stop.

So let’s imagine the gorilla as the thing in your life you are striving to accomplish. This can be anything from getting a new job, losing weight, buying a new home, overcoming a fear, etc You struggle and struggle and at some point want to quit – and generally if it is something you want bad enough you want to quit more than once during the constant struggle. What you have to do is stop struggling against the gorilla and understand it is just another stepping stone to getting what you truely want. You have to relax and stay persist ant in your goal and know that eventually that gorilla will get tired and stop struggling with you and give in. It may not be in the way you want it to or in the time frame you want it to, but it always does! The gorilla does stop at some point. It may toss you on the ground, or gently lay you over a rock, you never know. But it always does! It does not keep up the constant struggle forever. The trick is to relax, be patient, stay calm throughout the process, and never ever quit!
