Distant Healing with Crystals
by Andrew Pacholyk, MS, L.Ac
Distant healing is done when a healer is not occupying the same space as the patient. They can be in two different rooms or two different states. The concept works on the same premise as intention. It is like saying a “prayer”. This is a good focused intention imagined in the mind’s eye, seeking a certain outcome.
For long distance (absent) healing:
Use a placemat or bamboo surface to create the grid. You can use a photograph of the person or if no photo is available, writing down their name and place it in the center of the grid under the master stone.
Many reiki practitioners and energy workers add the subtle vibrations of stone energy as a complement to their healing sessions or daily lives. Usually this includes the laying on of the appropriate colored stones to coordinate with the Chakra centers, meditating with a particular stone, or wearing the stones as jewelry when the inspiration hits. There are, however, even more uses when stones are set up in a ‘Grid’ and are properly ‘activated’.
A ‘Grid’ is a way to arrange the stones in a sacred geometric pattern. They are then consciously ‘activated’ by connecting a ‘line of Light’ between the stones so that they radiate an energy field in the immediate environment in which they are constructed. Those of you who are sensitive to energy will be able to tell immediately that there is a shift of energy in the room where you construct a Grid. Depending on which stones you choose, there will either be a gentle shift… or a very tangible one.
Preparing the Crystal Grid
Have your materials ready. I mat or grid space, the crystals you would like to use for the grid based on the needs of the intention. Choose two kinds of crystals. One a master crystal and the others should be the same for the outer circle. Have a crystal wand or crystal point to trace the light energy.
1. Hold all the same crystals at heart level and allow the transfer of your heart energy, the positive energy you wish to convey into your crystals. You may use an affirmation or words of intention to “program” these crystals for a purpose. This can take anywhere from 2-5 minutes depending on your guidance.
2. Then take your master crystal in your hands (this is the crystal that is different from the others). Hold this crystal at heart level and ask the Universe to have the full power of the Reiki energy flow through you as you empower your stone to heal with love and light.
3. Create an affirmation to do this. It can be something like:
“I empower this grid to heal, with love, with compassion ,no
judgement and, with pure energy and light”.
repeat this three times as you connect the grid lines moving
counterclockwise around the grid. Positive intention is the greatest
process when using any healing technique.
4. Laying of stone. Place the same color or similar stones into your grid pattern. (Choose your pattern from the healing grids in the front of the book). These crystals go on the outside of the grid with the master crystal in the center. Now you have a pattern on your surface that will serve you.
5. Connecting the stones with Reiki Energy. To connect the grid lines start by pointing a crystal wand or crystal point toward the central crystal holding it a few inches above the grid . When you feel the energy flow move the crystal wand up to the crystal at the top of the grid drawing a line of energy, then move diagonally to the crystal on the left, then back to the center, then retrace the line you just drew, then move to the next crystal on the left. Go back to center and then retrace that line you just drew, then continue around the grid as you say your affirmation.
The process appears to look like you are cutting a pie, except you are retracing each line from the center back out. When you feel that you are finished come back to the top crystal and then move to the central crystal . Allow your final intention of energy to flow into the central crystal. (Connecting the lines and affirming the healing power is done daily to keep the grid active 24 hours a day).
