History and Beautiful World of Crystal Healing & Grids
Kim Alexis is a Psychic Spiritual Medium who specializes in hypnotherapy, crystal healing, past life regression, inner child therapy and well-being retreats Sardinia. She has twenty three years’ experience in the spiritual sphere and is based in London.
The oldest known systems of healing were developed in India and China around 4000 years ago. While different therapies and exercises emerged ; acupuncture, reflexology, yoga and meditation, the underlying principles are that a healthy body requires a free flow of energy. Any impediment to the free flow of this life energy is considered to be the main cause of disease. Crystal healing embraces this ancient wisdom. Healing is all about energy flows.
In the body we have what is known as chakras or energy centres. These energy centres vibrate at a certain frequency when we are at optimum health, if we become stressed or ill they become out of balance and depleted. The chakras are like whirling round disks in which energy flows through. The general rule is there are seven of them in varying colours located from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. We also have these smaller chakra centres in the palms of our hands and soles of our feet.
Within the crystal healing world we use the term wands. These are natural crystals which have been carved into long shapes usually with a point at one end for sending healing energy to a specific part of the body and a smooth large rounded base at the other. This base can be used to introduce healing energies into the body and massage the hands and feet. Crystals contain energy vibrations to complement the chakras and heal us…
I have ‘go-to’ crystals for different conditions. Rose Quartz assists in soothing nerves, smoothing skin and healing heart issues for self-nurturing. Apache Tear purifies the blood and removes negativity. Malachite for healing joints, aches and pains because it contains copper. Aventurine assists with inflammation. Chrysoprase for general healing and regeneration.
Wearing a crystal ring or bracelet that touches the skin will allow for the energies to be absorbed into the body and the aura (energy field that surrounds the body). An anklet with crystals attached will help to heal tired feet emitting a soothing sensation. Some people if highly sensitive may feel the vibrations of the crystals work.
Healing with crystals has been traced back to the ancient Egyptians who used crystals in their jewellery such as Lapis Lazuli, Turquoise, Clear Quartz, Carnelian and Emerald. And they definitely knew a thing or two about longevity and taking care of themselves.

Crystal Grids
Crystal grids are a geometric layout of crystals which can be used to create specific purposes energised by intent or with affirmations. The grids can be used around the body as in crystal healing, used in a pattern formation for energy to flow.
A centre crystal is used with complimentary crystals surrounding it to enhance the effect. If you wanted to send healing to a friend you would choose the centre crystal to depict them, perhaps using a crystal that correlated with their ailment, then placing crystals of your choice to make a sacred geometry pattern either using your intuition, inspired by nature or using your crystal knowledge. Say out loud your intention, link the crystals by using a crystal wand or by pointing your finger to create the energy to flow for their highest good.
How to make your own grid of dreams...
Create a crystal grid by choosing different crystals and placing them in a geometric pattern. You can choose from various designs such as the Star of David, a Reiki symbol, or a pentagram.
The easiest way to start is to begin at the 1 o'clock position stone and start weaving your hand or wand in and out to the centre stone, back to 3 o'clock and so on around the grid. As you follow round your crystal grid say an affirmation or mantra of your choosing.
Activate the crystal grid by relaxing and breathing. Make sure you focus on the centre crystal and connect with it, this will better align your intentions. Imagine the grid glowing and the energy flowing around it. Visualise your higher self and see your intentions coming true and being granted.
We wish you nothing but success and abundance on your crystal healing and grid journey.
