A Crystal Activation Gone Wrong 😅

The past six months I’ve been taking part in a spiritual circle where we study a variety of topics ranging from healing to astrology, and most recently, how to create a magick wand. This week’s homework involved making use of the New Moon to find a suitable wand and attune it to your energy. I had one already that, oddly enough, used to be part of a set of chopsticks (though I never used it to eat, LOL!)

The funny thing about magick wands is apparently, they do work, as I discovered when I tried to activate a carnelian crystal with the help of my wand a few years ago. Wands are associated with the element of Fire, and the theory is that fiery energy flows through the wand into our physical reality. I don’t know what I was thinking (probably that the wand wouldn't do anything) and I held the crystal in my left hand and pointed the wand at it. After a few seconds I felt a burning sensation in my palm and I had to stop what I was doing. My mistake! One that I learned from quickly. 


For months after that day, whenever I thought about the wand or that “rookie mistake,” my palm would start to hurt all over again. It was like the memory triggered the sensation. Not unlike Harry Potter’s scar, the one on his forehead, and how it was triggered whenever he thought about the person who created it. But as an energy healer, I couldn’t leave the psychic wound in my palm and eventually I stumbled across a crystal that is said to smooth over the energy field: Fluorite. A few months after the incident, I addressed this by placing a fluorite crystal in my left palm, using my right to heal my energy field with Reiki. It worked - my left hand feels better. 

While that experience was the result of improper use of magical wands, it made me think about emotional wounds. When we think about pain from the past, we relive it. Rather than dwell on the past or bury it, we can work with energy healing and crystals to release it. Send love to the part of yourself that feels hurt, without pressuring it to heal. The feeling will slowly melt away.

If you haven't read Chakra Healing & Magick, I’d encourage you to go through the creative healing techniques slowly - healing every aspect of your life through the Chakras before approaching the chapters on crystal magick. The book relies on energy healing to peel back layers of doubt and false beliefs so that we can let our inner light shine brightly in the world. 

🫶🏻 My book looks at energy healing, crystals, tarot as self reflection, and intuition - we use our palm chakras to activate our crystals. I don’t mention wands in the book, but it’s still fun. Find Chakra Healing & Magick on Amazon!

Does sharing have to be selfless or painful?

One of the things that I have had to let go of is the idea that if we help someone, it has to be 100% altruistic - in order for the action to be good. I don’t know if this is an idea that I adopted in childhood seeing others hold up selflessness as good - “give till it hurts” etc. The world would be a much better place if we knew that it is always in our benefit to help others. We always get something in return, directly or indirectly 💛 🫶🏻 Research shows that kindness makes for a much healthier society. I read a book last year called Shadow, Self & Spirit on transpersonal (or collective) psychology. There was a chapter on the psychology of evil and violence. People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin. Or better yet, family members, friends, and strangers. Random acts of kin...

Looking into a Reiki Meta-Analysis (Clinical Study)

A few days ago, I came across a Reiki meta-analysis that was published last year. A meta analysis is a very large study that compiles other studies, in this case randomized controlled trials, and aggregates all of their data. As I have mentioned before, one of the challenging things about holistic studies, and clinical studies in general, is making sure that they accurately measure what they intend to measure. Note: I may come back to this in the future to keep refining information and thoughts, and to simplify it.  In the meantime, my first impressions :  Effects of Reiki therapy on quality of life: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.   Syst Rev. 2025 Mar 27;14(1):72.    The participants in these studies were cancer patients, surgical patients and people with chronic issues (including high stress) who were not hospitalized. There weren't enough people in those study groups to generate reliable statistics for cancer vs surgery, but when all of them...

Vibrational Medicine by Dr Richard Gerber (Book Review)

People often ask if energy healing depends on the belief of the client - the placebo effect is real .  And while we   can  harness it by working through feelings and beliefs  that may undermine the healing process,   when I worked in  consumer  healthcare, research was  expected to outperform the placebo.   This is why I was happy to find a  book called  Vibrational Medicine,  by Dr Richard Gerber. It goes  through research done in labs and clinical settings. The book is a brick: 500 pages and almost too technical, but worth reading as an energy healer.   Below you will find highlights from Chapter 8 on Psychic Healing. Please note ,  Energy Healing is complementary to medical care, not alternative.   Dr. Gerber uses the term  'Psychic Healing'  throughout the book; however, in my own practice, I refer to these concepts as  'Energy Healing' based on my studies . Vibrational Medicine, by Richar...
