Daisy - Rose quartz is also very good for forgiveness both for others and for ourselves (something we very often forget to do). Another nice crystal to promote peace and calm is amethyst. It eases stress, naturally turns negative to positive, calms and relaxes, can soothe headaches and aid insomnia. Try placing yourself in an amethyst bubble for half an hour and just notice how peaceful and calm you feel. As for cleansing, crystals need to be cleansed every time they have been worked with for healing sessions. Most can and do absorb energy from whatever aura they are placed within be that a person, animal, plant or even a room. To prevent a transfer of unwanted energy the crystals should therefore be cleansed immediatley on finishing working with them. Sorry I can talk about crystals all day

So how long have you all been Reiki Practitioners? I have been for 4 years now and have completed all degrees. I have been working with crystals for 6 years and have them everywhere in and around the house and garden.
