Reiki and Gemstones in Healing

Using Gemstones During a Reiki Session
Although gemstones are not part of Reiki, they are complimentary tools in my healing repertoire. I use these magnificent gems of the mineral kingdom to assist in strengthening, healing, balancing, and maintaining equilibrium of chakras and aura through their vibrational resonance. Gemstones have been used for millennia in healing practices all over the world. Today, technological advances have allowed us to harness the evident power of gemstones using piezoelectricity (harnessing gemstone energy through compression creating a harmonic resonance, frequency, and vibration). Some devices that use piezoelectricity in our daily lives are wrist watches, clocks, digital circuits, ultrasound machines, and even surgical instruments. There are many uses for gemstones. Here is some information if you are interested in using them in the privacy of your own home for chakra clearing and balancing.
Gemstones, Chakras, and Placement on the Body 

Designate time and prepare space needed to lay the gemstones on you. Make sure the room is comfortable and quiet. Focus your mind on the healing intention you would like the gemstones to assist in providing. Balanced breathing is key in balancing your body mind, body, spirit. Generally, specific colored gemstones correspond to specific chakras. As you educate yourself on other gemstones and their properties you will learn how to incorporate other gemstones in your chakra work.
 
Placement of crystals on the 7 main chakras of the physical body while laying down:
Place a black gemstone just above the feet for grounding and energy absorption.
Place a red gemstone between your legs at  the root chakra located at the base of the spine.
Place an orange gemstone on the sacral chakra about 2 to 3 inches below the navel.
Place a yellow gemstone between the sternum and the navel onto your solar plexus chakra. 
Place a green gemstone at your heart chakra located in the center of your chest you can add a pink stone as well. 
Place a blue gemstone on the throat chakra in the center of your neck.
Place a indigo or purple gemstone on your third eye chakra between your eyes and hairline.
Place a clear or violet gemstone at your crown chakra either at the natural hairline or directly above the head when laying down.
After about a 15 to 30 minutes, unless the gemstones energy gives you discomfort in any way, remove them from crown chakra to root chakra. Refer to my Gemstone Care blog post information to cleanse, charge, and program your gemstones before you begin any energetic work with gemstones.

Here is my suggested list of gemstones for the crystal neophytes. Because chakras are interconnected, I suggest getting at least one of these gemstones per chakra.
