6 steps for an intense crystal healing spa experience: How to get the most out of bathing and showering with crystals.

Anandalite Creations has not only shared one of the best keep secrets about the powerful benefits you can receive by bathing with crystals we have developed the perfect system to assist (see blog ‘Crystal in the bath and shower…’). ‘So how does one go about bathing with crystals?’, I hear you ask. Well, Anandalite Creations’ Floating Crystal Healing System has made it an easy simple thing to do that can now be included in your daily/weekly bath and shower routine. In fact, this new system has made things so easy there are two main options, first the intense crystal healing spa experience and second, the easy daily routine (for crystal healing maintenance).

As we all deserve some pampering let’s start with the intense crystal healing spa experience treatment.

Intense Crystal Healing Spa Experience

Prepare space

The first step is to prepare the space. This starts with ensuring you have at least 1 hour without interruptions or distractions. So, turn off the phone, close the computer and the door. If you have children, send your partner to the shops with the kids, set them up with their favourite captivating movie, or make the most of them going on a sleep over. Now that you know you have a period free of interruptions it is time to pay attention to the physical space. Ensure the bathroom is clean before dressing the room with the essentials. Essentials can be different for each person, but some combination of the follow will be a good start. Place candles around the room, play relaxing, spiritual, or energising music (depending on what you hope to achieve with your crystal healing), light incenses or have essence oils burning. Finally, be sure to have a clean fresh bath towel and/or bathrobe prepared and waiting for you at completion of your bath (if you live in a cold climate warming these can be a nice touch).  

Draw bath

As you are dressing the room you can be drawing the bath water to the temperature and depth that you like. Salts have become the go to when creating a pampering or healing bath and they have many benefits. While we acknowledge these benefits, we would also encourage people to consider other alternatives or to use salt in combination with some of our other suggestions. However, it is important to remember that salt will damage the surface of some crystals or deteriorate them e.g. carnelian is susceptible to salt. Hence when working with such crystals we would encourage people to use alternatives to salts. A wonderful alternative is essential oils which can work on the physical, psychological/emotional, and spiritual levels. Another option that works on these different levels are bath teas with many combinations aimed at resolving or treating different areas or specific ailments. If you don’t have these options available, you can always select some non-toxic fresh flowers from the garden that work as essences and bring the natural beauty of creation into the space. Finally, there is always the traditional option of bringing some fun to the bath with a layer of bubbles.  

Whatever option or combination of options you choose we recommend you rinse off your Healing Crystal Connectors and Crystal Healing Float at the end of your bath to ensure any residue of oil, or salt etc., is removed to reduce any potential damage to your crystals or float.  

If using salt or oils, it is recommended that these are added when the bath is ½ full to allow time for them to infuse with the water before you enter the bath. We encourage you to select essential oils based on their attributes and how these align with your intention for your healing session (e.g. are you selecting oils for cleansing, for spirituality, for energising, or a combination?).

This is also true when using bath teas again try to match the attributes of the tea selection with your intention for the crystal healing session. With teas one may elect to add these once the bath is almost full, particularly if adding loose tea as it will help it be at is most vibrant and potent for the time you are immersed in the water.

Set intentions 

The most important part of any crystal healing bath is the setting of intentions this helps attune the crystals to your needs and to attune the crystals to the energies of your higher self or Divine* that supports the energy healing about to take place. It is best to keep your intentions simple so you can maintain a focus on these for the duration of the crystal healing bath. Therefore, we would recommend setting 1-3 intentions.

These can be general, specific or a combination of both. For example, you may have a general intention about bringing the Divine love, light and healing to you in this moment in the perfect way that is best suited for you at this time but also have a specific intention to work with a specific physical, emotional/psychological, or spiritual condition. For example, an intention to bring healing energy to a sore knee that has been bothering you or bringing healing energy to assist in managing intrusive thoughts etc.

Once you have set your intention you can hold this in your mind or write it down to add further emphasis and aid in bringing the intention into the manifest. If you do write it down, be conscious of how you discard it afterwards. If you are discarding try doing so in a way that sends the intention to the universe e.g. burn in a small pot and then release the ashes into the wind or if writing on thin or degradable paper take it in the bath with you so you are emerged with the intentions but that the paper will deteriorate throughout the duration of the bath and be release to the universe with the water when you finish your bath.

Alternatively, you may elect to keep these intentions to work on for a period of time in your regular mediation or in other crystal healing bath/shower sessions or to hold on your person for a week. You could even place them under the set of crystals you used in your crystal healing bath session to hold the healing intention for longer. Follow your intuition as to what is needed for you in this moment and in relation to the intention(s) you set. 

Select Crystals

There are two main ways to select the crystals that are ‘right’ for this crystal healing session from your collection of Anandalite Creations’ Floating Crystals.

First, you can be guided by your intellect and select based on the information provided with each of your Healing Crystal Connector Collections or Individual Healing Crystal Connector, or your own extended research on individual crystal properties. If you are relying on your intellect do your research before starting the process of preparing the space and set your intentions earlier so you can focus on matching the healing energies and properties of the crystals with your intention.

Second, you can allow your intuition to guide your selection. In this case, after setting your intention for the healing session you would stand or sit with your full set of Healing Crystal Connectors in front of you with your intention held in your mind and ask to be guided to the ‘right’ crystals to support your intention for this healing. Then follow your intuition – which crystals jumped out at you, or called you to them, did you get a flash of the colour crystal you need or did a name drop into your mind etc. Follow this process until you have filled the spaces in your Anandalite Creations’ bath float(s). 

There are three other methods that can help you select your crystals. First, combine the two main processes outlined above using both your intuition and your intellect. Second, use your energy field to sense/feel the ‘right’ crystal. Again, ask to be guided to the ‘right’ crystals and then hold your hand over each crystal and feel their individual energy and sense which one is ‘right’ for this moment. Are there ones that you are sensing or feeling the energy more strongly today? Are there ones that keep drawing your hand back? These are the crystals that your intuition and energy system are guiding you to use. Finally, you can use a pendulum. Ask each crystal if it is supposed to be used for this session and then read the response of the pendulum based on yes or no response.

Once you have selected your Healing Crystal Connectors restate your intentions three times, in your mind or out loud (saying out loud can add to the power of your intention and helps to bring the intention into the manifest world) whilst holding your crystals or simply say over the crystals. Additionally, if you have written down your intentions you can further enhance the process by placing the crystals on the written intentions and restate in your mind or out loud. This setting of intentions process will not program the crystals permanently but will help them align their energies to your healing intent for the purpose of this crystal healing session. If you want to program, permanently check back for a forth coming Crystal Musing on programming your crystals.

Once the intentions have been infused with the crystals insert the Healing Crystal Connectors in the Crystal Healing Float and place in the bath water.
