 Healing crystals are often used with Reiki practices for healing. Reiki crystals or Reiki stones can be used in combination with any Reiki treatment for added benefits. Many healing practitioners swear by the benefits of adding this to regular therapeutic treatments. While most effective when using a licensed Reiki practitioner, these healing techniques can also be used by individuals to help heal themselves.  Here are 8 benefits of Reiki crystals for healing.

Using Reiki Crystals to De-Stress and Control Mood Swings

One major benefit many say comes from this type of healing practice is stress relief. Whether a person needs to de-stress from a long day at work or another tiring situation, Reiki crystals are said to provide relief. Mood swings are a typical occurrence that may come along with stress and this is another area where Reiki stones may come in handy. Some of the stones used for this purpose  include quartz, agate, amethyst, green calcite, magnesite, and many more. 

Reiki Stones and Systemic Health 

Whole body health is extremely important to maintain. To do this, one must focus on every part of the entire system. Systemic reiki stone treatments usually consist of a combination of stones used in conjunction with reiki motions in order to heal the body as a whole. The stones used can often depend on desired results. But some stones that are good for systemic healing include citrine, fluorite, tourmaline, sodalite, rose quartz, aventurine, amethyst, magnesite, and others. Your Reiki healer will know what to select but if you are choosing your own, be sure to select those which either have multiple healing properties or those which complement each other to create a full body experience. 

Immune Strengthening and Healthy Sleep from Reiki Stones

There are several different types of crystals and stones used to strengthen immunity. These can be even stronger when used in combination with Reiki treatments. Bloodstone, calcite, magnesite, fluorite, agate, rose quartz, and several others  are often used in detoxification and immune boosting therapies for their cleansing and balancing properties. These same stones and others can also be used in creating and maintaining a healthier sleep pattern. When there is relaxation and a stronger immune system, some may find sleep comes much easier. 

Pain Relief with the Use of Reiki Healing Crystals

Whether dealing with pain on a daily basis or temporarily, many will still need to seek relief. Reiki healing crystals are said to help provide some relief in this area as well. A Reiki healer or oneself should use the closest chakra point to the area experiencing pain. Using healing crystals chosen for the specific type of ailment can help improve results. Malachite and bloodstone are some of the most common crystals used in Reiki pain relief. Some others may include white or blue lace agate, lapis lazuli, amethyst, and rose quartz. White agate has been used during the birthing process to help alleviate pain for the mother, as well as to put protection around the baby before, during, and after birth. 

Eliminate Fear and Gain Confidence Using Reiki Stones

Holding onto fears and having a lack of self confidence can be a huge roadblock in many areas of life. To help alleviate this issue, try using Reiki healing crystals. The amethyst is one of the more common crystals used for this purpose, as it can help create self-confidence, psychic awareness, visual clarity, and more. Another may be the rose quartz crystal for its calming and protective effects. 

Take Away Sadness Through Healing Crystals

One of the best ways to take away sadness is to create happiness. Golden-colored crystals are usually a great choice when it comes to Reiki healing crystals for relieving sadness. Some of these include gold itself, golden beryl, and citrine. All of these are good stones to choose for overall contentment, relief of sadness, happiness, and well-being of the mind. 

Open Up Your Mind Through Reiki Stones

Open-mindedness is important when navigating the obstacles of life. It is often tough for some to achieve this around certain topics or events. For help opening the mind try to choose crystals that offer insight, clarity, and openness. A good combination of Reiki stones might be citrine, turquoise, and amethyst used together. 

Use Reiki Crystals for a Purification Ceremony or Auric Sweep

Reiki crystals and stones are often given a purification ceremony before use. This is when the Reiki Practitioner will cleanse and purify the stones for a specific use. The benefit of purifying the stones beforehand is to create further efficacy. During an auric sweep, your Reiki master will take the crystals (usually after they’ve been purified) and do a sweeping hand gesture to sweep your auras of all negative energies. Both of these are great practices alone or in combination with any other uses of Reiki healing stones.
