Vibrational healing is an art that offers numerous pathways to
health and wholeness. Having used many healing practices, I have
focused on flower and gem remedies and Reiki as my healing tools of choice.
It has been a natural step to blend the use of flowers,
gems and Reiki into a vibrational healing practice that
offers the best of all three.
Reiki is a healing art that has its roots in ancient Buddhist and Qigong
practices. Reiki is an aspect of Universal energy--the Rei in Reiki means Universal intelligence, so Reiki possesses Universally guided intelligence.
This intelligence naturally allies itself with the innate
intelligence of the body. By using this energy through the laying on
of hands and other ceremonial practices, the intelligence of the
Universe is blended with the intelligence of the body to help create
balance and health.
As Edward Bach described, at the very core of all healing, is the
balancing of one's life and actions with the will of the soul. When we
divert from Universal Will, that deviation creates imbalance. Whatever the
imbalance, if it is held long enough within the energetic field of
the body, it will manifest as a physical, mental or emotional dis-ease. In my
experience, blending gem essences, flower essences, and Reiki energy has
proven to be quite effective to releasing the cause of such dis-ease.
When Reiki energy is channeled into a vibrational remedy,
whether it is the client's dosage mixture, the stock or mother tinctures, or both,
it offers a holistic balancing energy that helps the specific
energies within the remedy to be used in an optimum fashion. Reiki
energy also helps promote relaxation which fosters deeper healing.
My experience with blending flower and gem essences with Reiki has shown me that the
remedies offer a wide bandwidth of vibrational energy that allows
clients who are ready, to heal and change various aspects of their lives.
One element of my blending process is the use of quartz crystals.
Quartz is one of the basic building blocks of the natural world. Its uses are
many, but its ability to hold a frequency and and remember vibratory characteristics is
one of its most important uses. Quartz crystal has been used for decades in
radios, watches and other finely tuned electronic instruments because of
its ability to hold frequency accurately. Quartz and other minerals hold the
vibrations of their own inner structure too. They hold the vibration of
their surroundings, color, and natural atomic makeup, which give them
their natural healing properties.
Through research by Marcel Vogel and other vibrational health
researchers, it has been found that by faceting and cutting minerals into
specific geometric patterns, thoughts and intention can be coherently
focused, and therefore used for specific healing purposes.
I use a specific
Vogel crystals in blending essence mixtures for clients. A rose quartz
Vogel crystal is used when love energy or the color pink are indicated.
I use an amethyst Vogel for calmness and compassion or for crown chakra issues, or a smoky quartz or
hematite Vogel when physical issues are the target of the remedy.
Because of the characteristics of quartz and other minerals, they
are excellent for forming the foundation of an essence mixture. For
instance, one may program a crystal to enhance any other vibration
introduced into an essence blend. It may be programmed to hold the
thought of love, or the vibrational essence of a client to better
personalize an essence mixture.
Quartz can also be programmed with color to further enhance the
vibrational mixture when frequencies of certain colors are indicated.
The essence enhanced by the gem at this point becomes the foundation, or first step
of the blending process and could be called the grounding energy,
or Mother energy of the remedy and is now ready for the blending
of a flower essence if one is indicated.
When a flower essence is indicated, the energetic imprint of the
particular flower blends with the foundation essence previously
created. When blended with the gem essence, the client is offered a
wide spectrum vibrational remedy that offers the opportunity to
heal on different levels.
My experience in blending flower and gem remedies parallels Dr.
Richard Gerber's statement in his book, "Vibrational Medicine", that flower
essences often work at higher vibratory levels than gems, and
generally have more of a mental or emotional effect.
The next phase of the blending process introduces Reiki healing
energy into the essence blend. During Reiki Master training, I was taught
an attunement process that is used to infuse objects with Reiki energy.
Once the proper blend of gem and flower essences are introduced
Into the mixture, I perform that attunement to blend Reiki energy into
the essence blend to add its general healing energy. This attunement
can be done at the dosage, stock, or mother tincture level. Once the
essence blend is completed it can be used by the client at a dosage
level, or diluted as needed from a stock or mother tincture.
As a practitioner, I use the essence blends in a variety of ways.
They can be taken orally or used externally, in a bath for instance, or they
can be misted into the air with a misting bottle or through a humidifier.
The essences work wonderfully with bodywork or any energy therapy.
I always encourage a client to use the essences until they are gone, and,
due to this, I never give a client more than 1/2 oz of a blend.
There is so much more to be learned in the field of vibrational
Medicine and much more research must be done to verify the general
principles of vibrational healing. As practitioners we each have a chance
to share what we know, and what we have learned through trial and study.
I hope that what I've shared in a general way will be taken and used in more
specific ways with practitioners who are interested in furthering the
study of blending vibrational remedies.

practitioner who also teaches Reiki in Idaho and surrounding states. James'
interest in vibrational healing started in 1989 when he was introduced to
flower essences. Since that time he has studied the use of flowers and
gems for healing and has been a manufacturer of flower and gem remedies
under the names Wildflower Creations and The Crystal Rainbow. James' goal
is to teach people how to heal themselves by making their own flower and
gem essences, through self reflection and through Reiki. James can be
