People carry or wear talismans and amulets for a variety of  purposes. For some, it's the hope of bringing about change, for others it's the belief that magical items can provide protection.

Cleanse and Purify Your Psychic Energy Field

by Terri Parrot

Psychic energy is believed to be a life force in the body that balances one with the environment.

Psychic abilities are often described as the natural expression of the soul, and are a function of constructively developing and applying skills at a spiritual, mental and physical level. However, one's belief system embracing the existence of psychic abilities has a significant impact on the effective expression of the subtle energies of life. It is believed one is able to awaken dormant psychic abilities through learning to relax and use focused concentration to increase sensitivity to internal and external energies.

Not only were crystals used as tools, but they have always been and are at present worn to accentuate the body as well as beautify the decor of any living space. Crystals are not only found in computers and electronic gadgets but they are believed to have magical and healing properties as well.

Crystals have been used to protect, ward off harm and interpret messages from the spirit world. Traditionally gemstones were used to alleviate pain and sickness. Today, however, crystal healers use the crystals to remove the energy that causes physical illness.

Energy Clearing

by Kaz Hanford

After a healing, it is vital that the healer clears the healing room of any residual negative energy left from the healing. During a healing, the healer may remove blockages from the clients etheric and/or physical body which have hindered the natural flow of energy. These blockages should not be present in the body and therefore should be removed. If the client has an illness that has manifested on the physical level, there will be energy given off that may be heavy, sticky or negative - we call it 'spiritual slime'.

This tends to stick not only to the healer, but must also be removed from the client's aura and the healing area itself. During the healing, it is not uncommon for the healer to become aware of this negative energy clinging to their hands and arms, and they may even have to stop and clean it off with their other hand or a feather. It may feel uncomfortable and perhaps may make the healer ache a little. This is why it is absolutely vital for the healer to wash their hands right up to their elbows after a healing. They must make sure that they clean off this energy so that it does not remain in their aura and create problems with their own personal energy flows.
