Dear People,
A few days ago somebody asked me how I work with crystals. I had done a long distance session and added which crystals I had used to the report. So, today I'm describing how I work with crystals, both in the practice and for long distance sessions.
Crystals in the Practice
Sometimes when I do Healing Work I notice that my client can greatly benefit from a crystal. I often place these on or near the client. The crystal itself is regularly cleansed and recharged by me and will simply gently release the healing vibration needed.
Rarely people will feel the crystal as a burning sensation, most of the time clients either don't feel anything special or will notice a soft energy. Crystal work is mostly subtle.
It's also possible that when we are discussing home work or things you can do yourself that I offer clients certain types of crystals to hold and understand what those crystals can do for them. I also teach cleansing and recharging techniques when asked.
Crystals in Long distance work
In long distance work I first connect to the energy of the person I'm working on. I often then use my own body to direct the energy. In other words: if I want to work on that persons right knee I will place my hand upon my right knee. If I notice a certain crystal is useful, I can place them around me or on me with the intention that they are working around the energy field of the person I'm working on.
I can also take the crystal directly in my hand and redirect it's energy towards the energy of the person I'm working on. I usually do this if a lot of directed energy is needed. For example when somebody has a specific problem like a blocked heart Chakra or a physical complaint.
Personal Crystal Use
For a long time I'd wear certain crystals to work with their vibrations. Usually this was goal oriented, as I'd be working on a certain issue for myself or wanted to achieve a certain goal. I don't regularly wear crystals anymore, but when I think I'd have a difficult day I certainly have some that I wear.
When I do healing work for myself or when I feel I need to detox I regularly use crystals. I have quite a bit of them at home that I work with. I mostly work with a beautiful piece of Quartz, but I own many more crystals. Charoite, Lapis Lazuli and Ruby are some of my favourite crystals to work with.

With how busy our lives are, it's often hard to see what our purpose is. However, when we are in alignment with our Life Purpose we will be more alive, energetic and healthy. Today I will write about finding your life purpose through recognizing your core energy.
What is Core Energy?
When I work with people their energy field all has a distinct coloring and 'flavor' that is build up from their blockages, but also from their personality traits and their life purpose. Inside, what I see as the Core, or Soul Energy, is the energy that is available to work for the greatest good for themselves and for the world.
That type of energy can often be felt by others as well. Sometimes you meet people who you instantly trust or who make you feel inspired, joyful or make you feel at peace. This core energy is closely linked to life purpose. Tapping into that energy and expressing it will have great benefits.
Different types of Core Energy
There are many different types of core energy, because we all have different life purposes but I still want to discuss some broad groups so you can see where you personally would group yourself, your partner, family members and friends. Often we try to find people who have complementary purposes so we can grow. If you have people in your life who actively are blocking your life purpose, be aware that sometimes we invite them because we are afraid to move forward!
Healers - Healers are people whose core energy is centered around healing other people. They are often sensitive to energy, are emphatic and feel happiest when they are useful. Healers can be found in medical professions, but also in gardening (healing the earth) or in NGO's (healing the world).
A healer is happiest when they are making a difference in people's lives and their weak point is allowing others to have the time and space they need for healing. Healers are busy-bodies and like to have everybody 100% healthy.
Supporters - Supporters are people whose core energy is centered around supporting others. They often are in helping professions like social work and they prefer to be helpful. Sometimes however they can also be doing steady and stable jobs to support the people they love - even if they hate those jobs. A supporter is happiest when they are seeing others bloom, but their weak point is that they can forget to support themselves! Supporters tend to fade into the background and often don't have any goals of their own.
Teachers - Teachers are people whose core energy is centered around teaching others. They are often teachers of course, but sometimes they can also teach by example in jobs without having formal training. A Teacher is happiest when they have knowledge that they can pass on, but their weak point is that sometimes they fail to see that people don't find the knowledge as fascinating as they do!
Activists - Activists are people whose core energy is centered around making positive changes. They often have causes they believe in and champion. An activist is happiest when they see positive changes in the world and are always looking for ways to improve situations. Their weak point is that sometimes they can't let an injustice go or can't work well together with others who have similar but slightly different ideas.
Leaders - Leaders are people whose core energy is centered around leading groups. Leaders often are, well, leaders in companies, groups or in government. A leader is happiest when the group they are leading is creating excellent results. Their weak point is that they often feel shoehorned when they aren't the one leading.
Dreamers/Inspirationalist - Dreamers are people whose core energy is centered around inspiring others and themselves. They are inventors, people who struggle against all odds, people who seem to do the best when others feel awed by their accomplishments. They are happiest when they have space in their lives to work on those amazing feats. Their weak point is that they can forget that the basics are the basics for a reason - eating, sleeping and taking care of yourself are important.
Expressing your Core Energy
Maybe you feel you are more of a mix of the groups mentioned or maybe you can't seem to find who you are. The best way to see who you are is to express your core energy, simply ask to be shown who you are and listen to what makes you the happiest.
Personally, I'm a Healer. I'm happiest when I'm healing people, animals or the earth. I tend to seek balance and harmony. While I enjoy teaching (I have many Teachers in my family) and I find writing articles, stories and doing workshops fun, but I do them because they heal. Passing on other knowledge is always less satisfactory to me.
