CRYSTALS: Brain



QUESTION: Hi Sheila. I'm trying to help a friend who has memory problems. His doctors have said he does not have alzeimer's, frontal lobe amnesia and has not had a stroke. The docs say a portion of his brain has ceased functioning. He is having problems with numbers and some language, does not remember how to use a computer keyboard (he made his living as a technical writer for many years) and little short term memory. On the other side, he's pretty happy, amazingly; has a good kind heart and is in good physical health. So far, he can take care of himself pretty well. I just try to keep an eye on making sure he takes medicine, exercises , eats and does some spiritual practice. His teacher recommended he focus on breathing practice and mantra. And that seems to work well. What would you suggest in terms of particular stones and patterns for brain healing and, I would guess, re-activation? i have used various crystals and lapis, selenite, albite and some others. I am a Reiki Jin Kei Do/Buddho master and use that as well. He has a real connection to tiger eye and has a couple of spheres, some tumbled stones and a mala of tiger eye. We're open to suggestions, thoughts, ideas. thanks a lot.

ANSWER: Hi, thanks for your question. I would definitely recommend Quartz for your friend's brain functions. This is the crystal for enhancing mental energy, a mental massager if you will! It will help to balance the right and left brains. You can use it in conjunction with Tigers Eye or any other of the crystals he has an affinity to, but definitely use as much Quartz as will allow in your healing practices.

Additionally, Sodalite and Lapis are also great mental stimulators. A combination of these stones will surely get his energies on the right track!

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin
Crystal Healer
