Reiki and Gemstones—A Powerful Healing Combination

If you’re not familiar with the term, “Reiki” is a Japanese technique that not only reduces stress and promotes relaxation, but also heals the mind, body, and soul. The idea is that there is an unseen “life force energy” flowing through us which makes us alive. If we have low “life force energy”, we are more susceptible to illness and stress. If it’s high, we tend to be healthier and more balanced. Reiki helps to cleanse and balance our energy, leaving us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

The Healing Hands

Reiki practitioners use their hands in a variety of ways to channel energy into the person they are treating, helping to restore balance and promote healing. The hands can be placed lightly on the body or held slightly above it. Some people find that placing their hands on certain areas of the body helps to focus the energy and promote healing. Others find that simply holding their hands near the person’s body is enough.

The power of Reiki is believed to come from the life force energy that flows through us all. This life force is what makes us alive and vibrant, and when it’s out of balance, we can become sick or stressed. Reiki helps to cleanse and balance our energy, restoring us to our natural state of health and well-being.

The Healing Stones

Gemstones are beautiful, powerful tools that can be used for healing. Each gemstone has its own unique frequency that interacts with human energy fields—or chakras—to promote balance and harmony. When our chakras are balanced, we feel good mentally, physically, and emotionally. But when they become imbalanced, we may start to experience physical or emotional symptoms.

Gemstones are unique in that they each have their own specific vibrational frequency. When these frequencies are brought into our energy field, they can help to raise our overall vibration, promoting balance and harmony. Gemstones can be used in a variety of ways, such as being worn as jewelry, placed on the body during chakra healing sessions, or used in meditations.

Gemstone therapy can be used to help balance the chakras and promote healing on all levels. The stones are placed on or around the body in specific positions that correspond with the chakras. The combination of Reiki and gemstone therapy is particularly powerful because it addresses both the physical and energetic aspects of imbalance. 

Reiki Healing Combined with Gemstone Therapy

One of the reasons Reiki is so powerful is that it can be combined with other modalities, such as gemstone therapy. The two therapies work together to create a synergistic effect that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Reiki helps to balance the energy in the body, while gemstone therapy helps to balance the chakras. Together, they provide a complete healing experience that can help to relieve symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as pain and other physical ailments.

The combination of Reiki and gemstone therapy is a powerful one and can be used to help treat a wide variety of issues, both physical and emotional. If you are looking for a way to improve your overall health and well-being, this is definitely something to consider. You may be surprised at the difference it makes in your overall health and well-being.

When the Crown Chakra is in balance, we feel connected to our higher purpose and are able to live with intention and clarity. We are open to new ideas and ways of being. We trust our intuition and have a strong sense of our own identity.

1. Close your eyes and imagine a thousand white petals surrounding your head like a soft, protective cap.

2. In the center of the flower, there is an opening. A light shines through it. This is your link with God – your connection with everything that ever was, is, or will be.

3. Envision this light flooding your body, entering each cell and fiber of your being with pure consciousness.

4. A level of awareness that goes beyond your rational thoughts and the five senses, one that takes you into a greater understanding.

5. This is your link to understanding the universe.

6. Believe that everything happening in your life is meant to happen, and will benefit you greatly. Envision the power of this connection as a bright light surrounds your body—filling you with its Divine Radiance.

7. You are learning new things. The things you used to believe were true are not necessarily true. You are discovering new possibilities. This is Enlightenment.

8. Now you can let your thoughts roam free and explore without being limited by your rational mind.

9. When you do this, you’re essentially aligning yourself with your Higher Self… which allows for new experiences, fresh starts, and personal growth.

10. Stay relaxed as you open your eyes to the present moment.
