Crystal Self-Massage Technique Maintain an attitude of nurturing and love toward yourself and your body. Keep your attention on the part of your body you are oiling. Use small amounts of oil, adding more when necessary. Work in circular movements and long strokes working from the extremities towards the heart. Try a twice-daily routine to start.     On arising use invigorating and stimulating oils and crystals.     On retiring use sedating and relaxing oils and crystals.     Before treating clients, use protective, clearing and balancing oils.

Laying on of Stones Lay out your chakra stones in order from the base chakra to the 8th chakra overhead. If you have a selenite wand, lay it on the side of the spine opposite to the chakra stones. This will help to align all the chakras and adjust the spinal vertebrae. Sit on the base chakra stone, and slowly lie down, rolling your spine over each stone in turn. This will become easier with some practice. Have your duplicate set of tumbled stones handy. Massage some of each chakra oil into corresponding area on front of body. Lay stone over area, rolling stone over and over, massage in a counter-clockwise direction first, then switch to clockwise to empower the chakra with energy. As you are using the oil and crystal on each chakra, envision the color of the chakra. Alternatively, you can wait until the chakra points on the back of the body are empowered and then use those stones to balance the front of the body.
