Using Your Otas (Crystals) For Healing

Of course there are so many different ways to approach choosing the right crystal for you. No matter how you come about choosing your crystals, there are a few rules that I’ve learned along the way that may behelpful to you.

1. Always clean your crystals using running or flowing water as soon as you can, before placing an intention or wearing them.

2. Clear your crystals at least once per month, or every time you add or change your intention for them.

3. There are a few “harmonious” stones that can be paired with any others. Otherwise, never place more than 5 crystals together with others.

Okay, that’s it! You may be wondering why any of this matters, and I’ll tell you it’s all about the energetic pull of it all.

Steps for Healing:

Curing Process

During the first week the ota is making some grand changes within your energy fields, matching your internal elements. During this time keep the stone on you 24/7 for 21 days to complete the cleansing process. During this time, the blockages of energy causing imbalances are removed. While completing the next 2 steps, wear the stone throughout the day.

Harmonizing

Integrate healing into your entire being. Changes will occur the more you align yourslef with the energies of your intentions. Make sure to get on a detoxification routine throughout this process and to minimize interactions that lead to negativity. Protect your energy and space. You should be in the 4th week of the process now. During this state, your whole body is more relaxed and a balancing connection is made. Your mental outlook should start to change. The structure and energy of your stone may also start to change, taking on your energy and sharing its energy. Vibrational tones are a must during this phase, as you are nearing ascension.

Stability

This phase is reached around months 3-4 depending on how much you have been able to focus and clarify your intentions throughout the process. Test yourself by removing your Ota every so often. If you start to suffer after a few minutes, then you’re not even close to stabilizing energy.

Anything that you release has its own power to return.

How to find your stone:

• Get a variety of quartz stones in each color.

  • Identify your purpose

  • Pick a specific specimen that matches your frequency vibrationally

• Muscle testing can help you make a decision

  • Balance yourself

  • Close your eyes

  • Relax your body & let it fall as it chooses

  * If you fall forward then it is a good match, but falling backwards may mean it’s not a good match.

Cleansing & Clearing

Otas (crystals) pick up all kinds of energies without discrimination. They pick up magnetic energy, light energy, Thought forms & emotions, and even sound waves. Be careful to make sure you protect your Ota and yourself. When the stone absorbs negative energies, it is no longer a perfect energy tool.

Cleansing

1. Hold (point down) under running water

2. Use castile soaps

   1. Fill a clear glass bowl with cool water

   2. Sprinkle sea salt lightly

   3. Soak for at least a half hour.

   4. Rinse, then lay out on a towel to air dry.

Clearing

1. Fire Element

   1. Place in sunlight for 1/2 an hour (sensitive to sunlight: Ametrine, Aquamarine, Citrine, Fluorite, Rose Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Amethyst, Crystals)

   2. Or… briefly pass your stone over a candle flame several times.

2. Earth Element: Ground Them

   1. Heavier crystals can be buried overnight to eliminate negative energy

   2. Release it back to the earth (Hematite is iron-rich and may fall apart)

3. Water Element: Stones react like humans to a good soaking

   1. Outside during a rainstorm

   2. Sit in an ocean, river, or stream

   3. Bathe with your stones

4. Sound: “Om”

   1. Hold in your left hand and cover with your right

   2. Bring to the heart and chant

   3. When you feel the vibration in your heart and spine… it is cleared.

Other charging methods (aside from clearing)

• Pyramids - place beneath a copper, silver, or gold, or even a stained glass pyramid.

• Lightning element - Place outside just before a storm.

• Movement - hold in the right hand, turn 6-8 times clockwise.
