How to use Reiki and quartz crystals

Process

Rose Quartz to heal

A "tip" of pink quartz is used (see images). The ideal tip is double, on the one hand it is sharp to concentrate the energy and on the other, rounded to allow a massage.

Sharp point
When the sharp point is used, the purpose is to focus the Reiki energy on a concentrated point. It is ideal when you need to heal a part of the body where pain or medical condition is concentrated in a small area. Examples are period pain (the ovaries) otitis (the ear) or on the knees, where the joints are small.

Process:
You open a Reiki session (according to level) and hold the tip as if it were an extension of your hand (see diagram) by directing the sharp part towards the area to be treated. In the example, a period pain is being treated. Do not press with the tip, as it can disturb the patient. If your arm gets tired, you can use the other to hold the hand. With practice, you will notice where you have to put the crystal for maximum efficiency since you will "feel" where the energy is directed.

Rounded Point
When the rounded tip is used, the purpose is to exercise a gentle massage whose effects are amplified by combining the healing energy with the effect of the massage. It is ideal for inflammations, sprains, fibromyalgia etc. It should be used with caution on a wound or where the skin surface is inflamed.

Process:
You open a Reiki session (according to level) and hold the tip as if it were an extension of your hand (see diagram) by posing the rounded part on the area to be treated. You exert slight pressure and move the tip in small circles over the area, or if the area is linear (a tendon, for example) up and down. Again, with practice your intuition will tell you where the tip has to go to function better. Sometimes you can use a massage oil, if the conditions are conducive.

Quartz to protect an environment or ourselves:

Any type of glass can be used to protect an environment, both white, pink, green, transparent or even sodalite quartz (see images).

It works as follows: A crystal is like a battery, it is charged with energy and said energy is discharged into the environment BUT you always have to take into account the following, a crystal can be charged with ANY energy, in fact, they are used in black magic.

In addition, once a crystal has discharged Reiki energy, it automatically starts to charge with the energy in the environment. Therefore, if it is in a "hostile" environment it will be charged with that energy.

For this reason, it is essential to exercise good “energy hygiene” with the crystals (see cleaning section).

In the photos, there are some examples of the types of crystals that can be used to protect an environment.

Process:
You put the glass in a place where you want it to "release" the energy of Reiki in the environment. That glass should not be touched (see cleaning section) by other people, so at work, put it in a separate place from other people. My partner, for example, has his glass in the space between his chest of drawers and the desk in his office.

You open a Reiki session (according to level) and hold the glass with both hands to load it. Then, when it's loaded, you put it in its place.

Note:
- The time and frequency of charging a crystal can only be determined with intuition. It depends on the environment (if your home is quiet and free of "fights" a glass can last charged a week, for example) and the size of the glass. In case of doubt, a minimum of 15 minutes of charging every day.

Quartz jewelry

Pendants and other quartz jewelry are not only attractive but can provide us with a degree of protection if loaded with Reiki. BUT, again, they are susceptible to absorbing any energy in the environment once they have been discharged from Reiki energy.

Process:
You open a Reiki session (according to level) and hold the glass by cupping both hands with the pendant in the hole to load it.

Quartz Pendulums

Quartz pendulums are used to "interrogate" our inner selves and to check the status of an organ or chakra.

Personally, I think they should not be used frequently because we tend to abandon our own intuition and depend on external forms, in this case a pendulum.

However, they can be useful as confirmation of something we have intuited.

Process:

First, the pendulum must be "trained." This is to find out how it says "yes" and how it says "no", since it usually varies from person to person.

You place the pendulum as in the image and say “yes, yes, yes, yes, ” etc. until the pendulum moves. That movement is "yes." You repeat the process, this time saying "no, no, no, no" until it moves again in another direction.

Once trained, it can be used as in the image, placing it on a chakra and seeing if it moves.

Rose Quartz Tip

A "tip" of rose quartz. The back is rounded to allow use to massage an area

Focusing energy with the tip

Holding the tip to focus the energy on an area. In this case, the right ovary.

Massaging with the rounded part

Smooth circular or linear movements are used

Types of glass to protect environments

Quartz Pendulums

Training the quartz pendulum

For me, when it turns clockwise it means “yes” and in the opposite direction it means “no”, but it varies according to the person.

Checking chakras with a pendulum

Although in Reiki I do not consider that we should issue diagnoses, it can be useful for some people to confirm their own intuition.
