Crystals with Intention

If you’re feeling disconnected, overwhelmed or at a loss for self-recognition, it may be that you need to pause and take a moment where you can feel grounded and be present. At Blackberry Mountain, crystal reiki introduces the body back into its natural rhythm, using the earth’s energy and holistic healing with crystals to bring self-awareness to the surface. As different crystals are introduced and used in each area, they perform specific needs that target trouble spots. Whether you’re stressed, anxious, out of touch with the world around you, or burdened by thought, there’s a crystal to help you.

Because no two people are exactly the same, no two crystal reiki sessions will be performed the same or contain the same crystals. You can come to the session and inform your healer of the challenges you’ve been facing or how you’ve been feeling, and although the healer will focus on those challenges and emotions, they will be driven to dive deeper as the session continues—revealing more. Chakra crystals are typically a great place to start any session. If you’re feeling imbalanced, have a sense of feeling out of touch, or in need of an energy boost, that is typically a sign that your chakras are tired or have been overworked. The seven chakra crystals are Smokey Quartz, Carnelian, Citrine, Rose Quartz, Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst and Clear Quartz, each with their own energy focus. Smokey Quartz is wonderful for bringing us back into our bodies and allowing our heads to catch up with our emotions, where Carnelian gives a boost of power or confidence in speaking up for ourselves – like finding our voice – and asserting boundaries. This also sheds light as to what a boundary is, why we have them and best practices on how to set them. Rose Quartz is perfect for opening up and digging deep into our emotions, feeling in touch with our heart and how to express everything that comes with it.

If you’re starting your crystal journey without a reiki session, remember to cleanse and charge your crystals accordingly. Because crystals absorb and export the energy they come in contact with, a deep bowl of salt is a great place to set your crystals after use. Salt is a natural mineral provided by the earth, and it allows the crystals to be cleansed, charged and refreshed before their next usage. Nature and all of earths elements are the best resources for cleansing and charging crystals before and after use. Also, try setting your crystals outside under a full or new moon as moon charging is a great way to renew their energy, when available.
