Crystal Meditation


1. Open your mind, still your body and free your spirit to be more receptive

    to the healing energy of crystals.

2. Surround yourself with as much quiet as possible.

3. Make yourself comfortable.

4.  Hold your crystal with both hands.

5. Close your eyes.

6. Feel the energy of the crystal in your hands.

7.  Imagine this crystal energy flowing up your arms and into your shoulders

     and chest.

8.  Allow it to fill your chest and heart.

9.  Let it flow up into your head.

10. When the crystal energy reaches the center of your mind it starts to see

      your thoughts.

11.  One by one, each thought floats towards the crystal energy and disappears

      into it.

12.  This happens again and again until all your thoughts have floated away.

13.  Now the crystal energy drifts slowly down your body.

14.  It flows back past your chest and surrounds your heart, gently bathing your

        heart in clear, calm crystal energy.

15.  From your heart, this energy flows into your belly and pelvis, down your 

       legs and into your feet and through your toes, until your whole body is

       filled with clear, calm crystal energy.

16.  Allow yourself to bathe in this crystal energy for several minutes.

17.  Just relax and enjoy it.

18.  Let it wash away any worries, discomfort or pain you may be feeling.

19.  When you feel you are ready, slowly become aware of your body.

20.  Notice how it feels.

21.  Slowly open your eyes and enjoy your space as you look around you.
