Massage Wands:-

Crystal wand massage is using the energetic qualities of a particular crystal in a massaging action using either the rounded or pointed end of the wand to soothe, relax, align, or energize a particular part of a person’s body – either yours or someone you are helping.

Now there are some real advantages here over traditional massage techniques. One of the big ones is that your hands do not get tired! Traditional massage puts great stress on fingers, hands, arms, and shoulders. Using a crystal wand avoids the strain and stress.

Secondly the wands will focus the Universal Life Force with their unique energy structures to amplify or dispel energy depending on how they are used. Results will be faster and more long lasting than regular massage techniques that do not bring the amplifying power of crystals to the healing.

Finally the crystal wands will allow for a wide variety of healing therapies with very little investment or re-learning. The crystalline energy matrices of the crystals will allow you to tailor a massage easily and effectively.

Wands and the chakras:-

Wands are effective when working on the energetic and etheric levels of the body. The simplest way to work with wands on this level is to activate and balance the 7 chakra system. There is no physical contact with the body in this method so it is a great introduction for someone who is not used to energy work. Starting at the base chakra, spiral the wand in a clockwise motion to activate and balance this centre. Continue until you feel this chakra is balanced and move on to the next one until you have balanced all 7 chakras. This is a very simple yet effective way to use crystal wands to balance the body.

Wands and reflexology:-

This method only takes 2-3 minutes and is based on the spinal zones of the hand in reflexology. It can bring relief in stressful situations and can be done on yourself or another person. Trace the crystal wand directly on the skin from the tip of the thumb. After doing the same to the other hand, you can try a basic unblocking of the brain stem by creating a circular motion at the base of the thumb followed by a zig zag motion as pictured. This helps the nervous system to function well and brings relaxation to the body. This is just one of a myriad of ways you can use crystal wands with reflexology.
