In this class we will be working with crystal layouts, based on the results of our scanning of the body to see what Chakras are out of balance. We will also be learning: 1. Setting the healing environment. 2. Open communication with the person receiving the healing. 3. Etiquette of the healer. Attendees will be doing simple crystal layouts, time permitting, everyone will have an opportunity to perform a crystal layout. (If you would like to bring your own crystals/stones for the class, you are welcome to do so.) I will have my personal crystal healing kit with me, for use in the class.

In order to work with the spirits we must know what sort of spirits we seek to contact. Medieval and even late classical hierarchies of spirits may be instructive, but major adaptation is required to make sense in a pre-Christian context. We will look at the basics of the nature of the spirits, and propose ideas to help us classify and comprehend them.
