Okay, guys. Anyone here who knows anything about the use of crystals in healing?

Let me get a little more specific. If Star (from Lois and Clark season 3) were to be treating someone for amnesia, what type of crystals might she use and why and how?

I've tried searching on the internet, but so far it's all Greek to me .

I don't know anything about crystals, but I found this:

Crystals that improve mental focus

[...]

From http://www.ehow.com/how_5739502_choose-perfect-healing-crystal-needs.html

I imagine this crystal would be used for amnesia.

Assuming she's following a classic text - Cunningham's for example - she'd be looking for things like memory enhancers like amethyst and emerald and healing crystals, such as blue or purple crystals. Purple crystals promote mental and head healing.

So I'd be looking at amethyst (no doubt about that one), possibly emerald (poor quality ones can be gotten cheap), and iron pyrite or lodestone (for healing and to draw out whatever is causing the problem.)

If you really want to get esoteric, Star might cast his horoscope and use that to choose her crystals.

Thats a great help, both of you. Thanks.

Dandello, you sound as if you have some experience with these things. So let me ask you: what is done with the crystals once you identify the right ones. Do you wear all of them around your neck or do you put them up around your apartment or carry them in your pockets. Or do you do a little of both. Also, will one crystal do the trick or is it a case of the more the better?

Star might give Clark a little medicine bag with the crystals in them (and maybe even some herbs like 'forget-me-not') or have him keep them in his pocket. They need to stay close to his body. At night they would go in or under his pillow. She might even give him several sets - one for his pillow, one for his pocket, and one for his desk. Star strikes me as a 'more the merrier' type.

Well, you can also put crystals on your Chakras. Since it's all about memory loss, the Brow Chakra or "third eye" (also good for seeing clearly) or the Crown Chakra would probably be best. For obvious reasons, Clark couldn't carry any stones around on his Chakras all day long. Keeping one around his neck (pendant on necklace, preferably gold because it's supposed to be a good energy conductor), his pocket or in his hand sounds like a good idea, too.

There's another way crystal healing can be applied. You put the crystals you want to use in a decanter, put clear water (from a spring?) on them and later drink the water. Or... for less rare crystals: grind them to powder and eat that somehow. Or make a salve from the powder.

Also, Star might want to recharge the crystals on a daily basis. Options are sunlight, moonlight, putting them close to "loading" crystals (like rock crystal) or she might go all esoteric and do some sort of energy transfer.

Uhm, is it obvious that I once read up on that sort of stuff?

Thanks, guys. Lots of things I can use there. You've been a great help.

Hmm... that's an interesting idea. He could wear a headband with the stone embedded in it. He might look like a goof, but if it helps and Star might just be out there enough to suggest it

Cool idea! Confused-ius Clark, huh?

Unlike the last thread, this thread makes sense to me.
