Dear All,

I know extremely little about crystal healing, hence why I'm asking for more information.

About six weeks ago my father suffered from brain damage due to a lack of oxygen.  In my attempt to find some alternative therapies that could be of use I read on the internet that Elestial has been known to repair brain damaged cells.

When I went to purchase the crystal, the attended wouldn't let me buy it because being a beginner I could do more harm than good.

If anyone can tell me if it's worth bringing in a professional, that would be great.

Thanks,

Eloise

Hi Eloise, welcome to Mystic Board

So sorry to hear about your father's illness, I wish him a speedy recovery.

I really don't like it when a 'shop assistant' tells us what we can and can't do. It would have been much more helpful for them to have explained to you what you needed to know instead of causing you this extra pain and worry.

Elestials are a natural formation, they look almost like the crystal has ben bent over and squashed, which in many cases its has by the intense pressure of the Earth's crust and platelets moving. Because of this look, which can be similar to a brain, many people feel that some elestials can help repair brain damage. They have a much higher vibration that normal quartzes and also have a much more glassy and smooth feel.

You could try some very simple and easy crystals to start with like Turquoise which is a very powerful master healer and also rose quartz, these can benefit the whole body and so aid with any healing process. Personally I wouldn't worry to much about getting your hands on an elestial, you can do much more with other stones, malachite and charoite would also help. You don't say if your father is in hospital or somewhere that he will be allowed to hold and touch the crystals? Just having them near will help as will trying some simple meditation and deep breathing exercises. Placing them safely inside his pillow will help too.

Have a think and trust your instincts, then come back with any further questions

Hey Gem,

Thanks for you advice.  My father is currently in hospital, but will be transferred to a nursing home once papers are finalised.

The shop attendant who told me not to purchase the crystal did in fact provide me with the name and number of a crystal healer that could provide me expert information.

In the meantime I have had an amethyst braclet on his wrist since he first went into hospital.  Do you think it's time I cleanse it or something?  If so, how do I do that?  I also have some tumbled rose quartz of my own which I could take in and place beside his bed.

Thanks again,

Eloise

Hi,

Amethyst is a wonderful pain reliever. Sometimes it can be hard to cleanse a bracelet without damaging the settings, you can smudge it with cleansing smoke or use reiki or maybe in this situation, cup both your hands over the bracelet , one over the top and one underneath whilst your father is still wearing it, and then imagine taking all the negative energy into your hands through your arms and then down through your body and out to the ground through the soles of your feet,  Then imagine clean pure energy from mother earth coming up through your feet and legs, your body and then back down your arms and out through your palms to the bracelet to refresh and energise it with brilliant new bright clean strong energy. This should really help Make sure you allow the energy to flow, and do not block it or hold any inside yourself, be a pure channel, in and out, and some of the new energy will help to make you feel better too  This can be very effective and no-one needs to even know   xxx

as per indian system of chakras,brain comes under influence of saturn.so if element of that part is disturbed we should make it good by wearing or using violet crystal or gemstone.blue sapphire is known to purify blood ,inturn enabling more supply of oxygen and blood to brain.
