How to Spot fake Moldavite

by Michael Eggleston
Copyright 2014 Michael Eggleston ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

A very shiny, wet look may indicate a fake.

X-ray analysis of fake moldavites.

Fake Moldavite
New, fake Moldavite is hitting the market from China, in more shapes - probably
from molds - notice the wet, shiny melted glass look; this should be a dead giveaway.
Its easy to tell the difference if you know what you are looking for. Look at the
pieces on this page and then compare with the real Moldavites pictured on the
next page.
Unfortunately I would recommend to Avoid dealers from China & Thailand
online if their products look like the pieces on this page, and if its much cheaper
than other dealers (though some are now charging top dollar for this fake stuff).
This is primarily being seen on sites like ebay & DHgate and even Amazon.
Recently, I walked up the street to Colgate University and met with the Geology
Chairman , William Peck, to use a very cool piece of equipment. A hand held
X-Ray Analyzer. We tested some Real Moldavites and a couple fake pieces
from Hong Kong. Here are the fakes, the bigger one is the one that goes with
the scan pics of the analyzer. The results show very high Lead levels (Pb) and
Much lower Silicon (Si) and other differences than real Moldavite.
"The first is the flat oval fake one. It is only 48% SiO2, while real natural
moldavite is in the range 72-80 wt%. It has undetectable or almost no Fe, Zr, or
Ti, while some of those elements is always seen in natural moldavite. Al is also
very low. The most interesting thing is that there is 24 wt% Pb, 1.8 wt% As, and
2900 ppm Cl in the fake piece, while there is almost none of these elements in
the natural moldavite. It also has 8.7 % K2O, which is about 3x the amount in
the natural samples. The second fake is the cut one. It is totally different from
the first fake. The SiO2 is similar to natural moldavite (77% SiO2), but has
undetectable or almost no Fe, Zr, Ti, or K. Al is also very low. It doesn't have the
Pb or As of the other fake, but does have high Cl (3800 ppm)." - William Peck,
Professor of Geology, Colgate University

Here is a very good 110 gram fake piece that was sold to a person in the Philippines for $1000 USD.
This is a classic example of the material being used in XXL pieces.
If it were real this would be a $15,000 - $20,000+ piece. The Color is
good, but the wet glass look gives it away almost instantly to those
familiar with the stone.
I had a customer in Malaysia email me pics of a 184 Gram Fake he
was offered for $3000 from a Chinese Dealer / "collector". These
"Dealers" are getting bold making pieces this large. I knew it was
fake as soon as I saw it and confirmed this with my Czech source,

who said he sees it at the Hong Kong Gem show. If this 184 gram was real it would be much more
than $3000. A piece this size in excellent condition like this scam piece would be more in the $25,000+
range. Because of limited production in the Czech Republic the past few years and increased popularity
of Moldavite, suppliers in Thailand , China and Hong Kong have been using a glass composite to
manufacture fake Moldavite and sell in the online market,
and probably at many gem shows.
High quality fake faceted material is also coming out of
Thailand with certifications! It has good color but is virtually
Examples of faceted gems from the fake Moldavite material.
flawless, with none of the tell-tale signs of Moldavite, although
some are starting to use glass material with bubbles but the
color is way off. These are all over ebay as well. This is why a certificate is really worthless. It all
comes down to research and finding a trusted source. The only certifications I would trust are from
the GIA.
I saw this material in Tucson 2 years ago when a well known dealer from Thailand tried selling me a
couple thousand dollars in large faceted stones. Natural Moldavite is never as flawless as these glass
ones, and there are usually swirls, bubbles and/or waves of some kind.
Natural Moldavite
The Largest Moldavite ever found was in the 238 gram range and anything over 50 grams is extremely
hard to find on the market as they end up in Private collections pretty fast. 20+ gram are considered
"Select" Size, Large. I sold an 85 gram piece a couple months back and that is the largest I have
personally held. It is important to educate yourself about all crystals
and gems you are going to invest your money in, and buy only from
dealers who have a reputation in the business for having good material
direct from the Czech Republic.

Crystals for Processing Grief

by Carol Hendrickson
Copyright 2014 Carol Hendrickson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

rief visits all of us sooner or later. Sometimes it presents itself as intense sadness, sometimes
as despair, sometimes its an aching emptiness that we are sure will never go away. One thing
is certain how each of us deals with grief and loss is unique and personal. Never let anyone tell
you what should happen or tell you its time to get on with your life. This is an intensely personal
journey that may only be walked by the individual.
There have been many times in the past 18 months when I really wished I had not worked so hard
during my CRT training to remove the barriers I had created to block my emotions! I lost a younger
sister, very suddenly, to cancer in October, 2013 and lost my husband to a different type of cancer
in July, 2014. The emotional storm that engulfed me when my husband was diagnosed in June, just
four weeks before he died, was not something for which I was prepared or equipped to navigate.
Because I lived in a town away from my immediate family, and with only a few close personal friends,
I reached for the stones that drew me to them. The first stone that offered
itself as an anchor in the storm was my Smoky Elestial Quartz. It was one
of the first stones I bought a few years before I even knew stones could be
used for healing, long before my CRT training. It just always interested
me and I loved to hold it in my hand.
After John died, I found myself sitting for long periods of time, staring
off into space and crying. As I started to hold the smoky quartz in my
hand whenever I would sit down, its energy helped ground me and bring
me back to the present moment. Its energy had a strong, stable and
protective feeling which I really found comforting in those early days of learning how to cope on my
own. I spent many hours resonating with the energy of this piece of smoky quartz, and even now I
find there are times when I need its comforting presence to help me stay balanced.
As I moved beyond the initial stages of grief processing, a second stone presented itself to me and
became another friend offering comfort and a measure of peace. From its place in the basket of stones
that I use for personal meditation, the soft pink of the Danburite crystal
drew me to work with it. I was very surprised at how comforting the
energy felt as I held the stone. And I was also surprised at the sensation
of something warm wrapping itself around my heart which seemed to
ease the deep aching feeling. While the feeling did not go away, and is
still with me even now, it seems more distant and less intense. I have
never experienced any clairaudient abilities but I do hear a very fine,
very high pitched hum whenever I work with the Danburite. Is that the
sound of angels singing to me Id like to think so!
I know I will continue on this journey for some time to come but I also know that I will not walk alone
without support. The energy of Smoky Quartz and Danburite offer grounding, comfort and peace of

mind and I will continue to hold these stones close to me.

Certification Training in the Heart of Vibrational Healing

with technique developer, Naisha Ahsian

The Primus Activation Healing Technique is a profound energy healing

modality that allows both beginner and advanced healing practitioners from all
modalities to utilize the power of the heart's energetic field in both healing and
the current evolution of humanity. The technique is based upon sound scientific
theory that teaches us the basic physics of energy and energy transference,
the physiology of the human body and how the body processes energy; as
well as the proper energetic, emotional and physiological state for a healer to
maintain to ensure effective energy transference.
The Primus Activation Healing Technique was designed to be used as a standalone healing modality, but it can also be combined with any other healing
technique to enhance their effectiveness. Many of our graduates are Reiki
Masters and Teachers, who use Primus to increase the power of their Reiki
sessions. Primus is also the foundation for effective Crystal Healing.

Join us in transformational Sedona, Arizona

August 8 & 9 October 17 & 18
Upcoming training programs are also available in Queensland, Australia;
Beacon, New York; and Seagirt and Princeton, NJ.

Keep Your Feet on the Ground

And Be Prepared for Lift Off!
by Jeni Powell
Copyright 2014 Jeni Powell ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

2015 has already subjected us to an influx of major astrological events and there
are plenty more to come. We have witnessed back to back new supermoons,
solar and lunar eclipses not to mention the equinox at an exact Pluto-Uranus
square. With a slight lull until Septembers Virgo solar eclipse and the total
lunar eclipse in Aries, we would be forgiven to think that we can now rest on
our laurels. However as September sees the culmination of this energy what
this means for us now is bold steps, enlightenment and action! In order for
us to do things we need to have our feet firmly on the ground and to be in the present so that we can
take action. It is more important now than ever to keep ourselves grounded.

What is grounding?

You are probably familiar with the brown earth wires in our electrical plugs that protect us when we are
using our electrical appliances, lightning rods placed on the side of our homes and earthing wires on
our cars. All of these prevent us from being harmed if we get a surge of electricity (energy). Many years
ago there was little mentioned about grounding or earthing ...especially when referring to grounding
ourselves but now these words are banded around everywhere but why?

Why ground?

As you are aware, we live in different times now. Science has moved forward and we are bombarded
with electromagnetic frequencies from our computers, tablets, mobile phones, electricity pylons and
mobile masts to name but a few! Heightened solar activity means we are also subjected to an influx
of electrons, ions and atoms from coronal mass ejections and solar flares which add up to a surge of
energy and an increase in positive ions in the atmosphere. It is even documented that the full moon
generates an increase in positive ions! Positive ions are associated with disease, free radicals, irritable
behaviour and a breakdown of the healthy body. How many times in recent months have you felt out of
sorts, emotionally sensitive, stressed, aching and generally stuck? This may well correlate to when there
are energy shifts and surges such as heightened solar activity, an eclipse or a full moon.
Earth herself is charged with negative ions and has a frequency of 7.83Hz (the Schumann Resonance)
which has been found to be the frequency for humans to experience optimum wellness hence the
term earthing or grounding. That tingling alive feeling you get when you stand under a waterfall, walk
barefoot on a soft sandy beach or run and play in the ocean waves is from the negative ions from mother
earth. They are anti oxidants; revitalising us as they cascade through our bodies, dissipating the excess
positive ions and bringing us improved health, a sense of calm, balance and wellbeing.

How can we ground?

<Earthing.
<
Connect with the earth to make full use of those negative ions. Walk barefoot
as often as you can, whether this is on the grass or the beach! Our feet have the most nerve
endings per square inch of skin on our body making them ideal conductors to soak up those
negative ions. Our ancestors went barefoot or wore leather hide on their feet but we now walk
around in rubber soled shoes which are insulators, forming a barrier between us and mother
earths therapeutic ions. One of the reasons that we all feel invigorated when we are on a
beach holiday is that we are barefoot and soaking up the ions. Sometimes going barefoot is
impractical, especially if you live in a cold climate, however mature trees have been found to
give out an abundance of negative ions so walking in nature in the woods, forests and parks
is a tonic in itself. Even better, take off your gloves and hug a tree to experience the full benefit
of those feel good ions.
<Crystals.
<
By balancing our base and earth star chakras we are enhancing our energy
connections to receive earths energy. Our bodies follow a crystalline
structure comprised of water and minerals which is very similar to earths
composition found in rocks and crystals, so it makes sense to utilise
crystals for connecting and grounding us to the earth. Personally, I have
found that the most effective stones for grounding are iron sulphide
concretions from Kansas, usually found under the trade name of Boji
Stones . These come as a pair, one being smooth and having a more
feminine energy and the other having a raised surface and of male
energy. Hold one in each hand (you will instinctively know which hand to use as it will feel
more comfortable) and feel your connection strengthening to the earth. These are available in
varying sizes (the larger ones tend to give a faster result) however, the smaller ones are ideal to
put in your pockets for the day to allow you to fully ground.

<
grounding stones are black tourmaline, smoky quartz and hematite although some
people find that hematite can make them feel spacey so my advice is to
work with them and see what feels right for you. A grounding stone that
boasts many additional benefits is Shungite. This contains fullerenes and
has been found to be a powerful antioxidant as well as reducing EMFs
and purifying drinking water. You can use grounding crystals in different
ways: hold them, place them by your feet, use them in a grounding
meditation, place a few in a mojo bag and carry them round with you
or put them under your pillow at night. You can even place the grounding crystals in your
drinking water but make sure they are non toxic or use the indirect method (see energising
water using crystals).
<< Water. Enhancing our bathing water by adding magnesium sulphate
minerals, such as Epsom salts, is detoxifying and optimises our energy
pathways. We can also find these minerals in some non toxic and non
water soluble crystals such as green olivine/peridot (Papakolea beach
in Hawaii is made from this crystal). So why not add a touch of Hawaii

to your bath? If you dont have a bath, just create a relaxing and therapeutic foot spa using the
above it is just as beneficial.
The array of grounding tools is vast including essences such as the Crystal Balance Grounding Spray;
essential oils such as Young LivingTM brand Grounding essential oil blend; Bach FlowerTM brand flower
remedies; EarthingTM and BiomatTM brand mats to name but a few. Choose the method that resonates
with you and be sure to have an action packed month!

Paradox of a Broken Crystal

by Ann Miller

Copyright 2014 Ann Miller ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

I have been honoured with the task of being the voice of the Crystalline Beings or as they wish to put
it, passing on the Wisdom of the Crystal Collective. To some this is a form of channelling, to me it is
opening my heart and letting their voice be heard through their words I speak or type. The Crystal
Collective is made up of crystals, rocks, mountains and even the water of life itself, they all have their
separate characters and opinions but as a collective they work together for the benefit of the whole and
it is my privilege and pleasure to bring their Wisdom to be heard.

The Crystal Collective:

"Many around the planet talk about when a crystal breaks due to an overload of negative energy and we
would like to put a different spin on this, something to be thought about and hopefully taken on board.
As crystalline beings we have been silent too many and as the consciousness of the planet rises we are at
last being heard and understood. We would like to put our views forward regarding when we break, as
we have felt your emotional pain and heard your laments. We have listened to you bemoan the fact that
we are no longer beautiful to your eyes as you do not look past the veneer into the energy and being
that we are and we find this sad.
Often when we break we are trying to get a point across. When our sister Celestite broke she was being
called baby and on dropping her after a long and arduous journey her keeper was distraught and it
was only when she was able to show that the name was restricting her that she was able to grow up and
be Anastar as she now wishes to be called.
Sometimes when we break it is due to our consciousness increasing, we are like you and Gaia we are
going through the ascension shift. When you are made of a crystalline structure it is difficult to expand
and to do so we invariably break so please join with us and celebrate what we see as a graduation.
A sister crystal was very cold when she was taken into a hot bath and she split in two, this was her
opportunity to show she had increased her consciousness. The pieces still fitted perfectly together. The
lady who had this crystal didnt know what to do and gave them to a wonderful lady called Bev who
decided to try giving it healing and love and after a few months she could feel it moving less and within
two years our sparkling sister was whole again and is a much loved crystal who loves to work with Bev.
You can see her expanded consciousness in her picture.
We hope our stories will inspire you to look beyond the broken crystal and honour us for the choices we
have made. We as a collective would rather you cherished us and let us show you the difference in our

energies, as we all feel and work differently even if we were originally one piece. When we are glued
together we are still energetically more than one crystal and find this frustrating as we are thought
more of for our looks than our energies.
Thank you for taking the time to read our side of the story and wish you well with your own crystalline
families."

their part to assist humanity and Gaia in their ascension. Ann communicates with the crystals and lets
their voice be heard.
She works with small individual crystals as well as huge crystals under the sea and land. She clears,
aligns and activates the crystals to the frequency of unity so that they may realize their full potential.
She helps them to assist in bringing harmony to homes, work spaces, buildings and land areas. She

The Human Crystal, Love & Science

by Faith Supple

Copyright 2014 Faith Supple ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Students, clients, friends and skeptics invariably ask me if there is any objective (aka scientific)
evidence that invisible energy therapy modalities actually work. You know, the old it must be
your imagination and the placebo effect routine. Years ago, I was offended by the challenge to
what I considered certain wisdom.
Of course, crystal healing was considered really over the edge. Overlooked was the role that Quartz
and other crystalline minerals play in the formation and maintenance of every human body. Silicon
dioxide (Silica, Quartz) is an essential constituent of bones, teeth, skin, hair, eyes, etc. Calcium
intake is often recommended as a supplement to prevent osteoporosis. Consider what happens
when we dont have enough iron in our bodies; and we need trace amounts of copper to use the
iron to make hemoglobin. Electrolytes are minerals in the bloodstream that are essential for proper
metabolic function. Encouraging news - the scientific community is acknowledging lately that all
living organisms are liquid crystals.
Love? That has been such a misunderstood word in relation to healing that it does not surprise me it
remains controversial. Yet everyone seems to agree that it has great power to heal and transform.
but howwhy?
Recognizing that both the right and left sides of the brain deserve their due, I began and continue to
accumulate information to satisfy inquiring minds. I frequently refer to the following experts and
fields of scientific investigation in my discussions with both the open-minded and the skeptics .

Mastering the Three

Energetic Conditions
by Robert Coleman
Copyright 2014 Robert Coleman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

One of the most attractive benefits of using crystals and stones is that the user doesnt have to be
sophisticated regarding their properties to receive benefits from them. Thats why jewelry can be given
to others or clients can simply relax on a massage table and receive crystal therapy without needing to
understand the properties of the various stones they are experiencing. Further, even crystal workers
themselves need not necessarily explore the subject deeper than to understand the properties of the
individual stones that they are working with and how they combine them with other stones.
But, if you are the type of person who really likes to master your tools, there are underlying principles
regarding the use of crystals for transformative/therapeutic purposes that can make your work
considerably more powerful, effective, and even safer. In this article I will cover the three energetic
conditions that you will inevitably encounter when you are using stones to create transformation for
yourself or others.
The three energetic conditions you will encounter are: 1. Flowing 2. Congested or 3. Depleted. These
three conditions pretty much cover what is going on with any area that your or your client are trying
to make better.
Flowing- When something is flowing, it is usually going well, whether it is a persons physical health,
relationships, or even their prosperity. Conditions that are flowing rarely require intervention or
interference; you simply let them be.
Congestion-However, when things arent going right they typically become congested, meaning that
they stop moving naturally and begin backing up. Often, congestions build around a core trauma or
stuck point that results in a blockage. A congested area that is unresolved will often invite disease and
disorder due to the lack of replenishment and rejuvenation for the affected area. Physically, a bad head
cold is a classic example of congestion, where the person suffers from a stuffy head, swollen sinuses,
and aches and pains brought on by the toxicity of the condition. In life, an example of a congested area
might be an employee who has worked for a company too long under harsh and negative conditions
without any change. The stuck circumstances will result in negative feelings, a loss of hope and morale,
reduced productivity, and even physical and other life challenges for the employee.
Congested conditions are dangerous because untreated they continue to become more dense and
toxic until the system can finally no longer tolerate the congestion. At that point they rupture and can
produce catastrophic consequences. Our imaginary employee stuck in a demoralizing dead-end job
might become involved in a serious automobile accident that prevents him from working, in effect
releasing the congested work environment condition through a negative life experience.

Congestions are very common and may be too easily overlooked by stone workers. The reason for this
is that congestions may hide or not be obvious within a system. Congestions can result from emotional,
mental, or spiritual stuck points that the client would rather not notice. As a crystal practitioner it is
your job then to observe what the client may have overlooked.
You usually only energize/stimulate a congestion briefly to get it to begin releasing. You would never
use a power crystal such as clear quartz to continuously stimulate a congested area- that is asking for
trouble. Congestions also respond well to stones that help to draw away negativity and toxins, such as
black tourmaline or obsidian.
Depletion- In natural systems, when other parts of the system are congested or out of balance it is
common for a different area to become depleted. Depletions result from an area not receiving enough
energy or support. Depletion is therefore exactly what you would expect: weakness, a lack of energy
and vitality, instability, and fragility. Depletions often produce a malfunctioning within an associated
area. Imagine a stream that becomes blocked off in a different location. As the stream dries up the
wildlife vanishes and the stream becomes dry and barren.
Depleted conditions are usually easy to notice in any area because the afflicted zone begins to wither
and functions stop working properly. As a physical example, a person suffering from memory loss
would indicate a depletion. However, its important to understand that, although depletions are usually
obvious and seem to be the real problem, they are typically symptomatic and wont stably resolve if
treated by themselves without addressing the blockages and other factors within the system producing
the depletions. Thus, the rule for depletions is to always treat them in combination with other systemic
imbalances.
Addressing the three energetic conditions:
As crystal and stone workers, you will encounter these three conditions within yourself and others
constantly. If you begin noticing which areas are flowing, congested, or depleted, you will be able to
more intelligently formulate a plan to help problem areas improve. Here are a few guidelines to help
you integrate crystals into working with these three conditions.
1. Do NOT automatically default towards stimulating anything and everything using power crystals
all of the time. Congested areas when energized at first resist and then move towards a crisis point
that can become seriously destabilized. Even apparently benign tools such as crystal grids, crystal
amplifiers, and powerful stones worn as jewelry should always be applied mindfully and with skill.
2. As a companion to the above point, many people automatically gravitate towards energizing an
area that they perceive to be in a state of lack, which is a form of depletion. Energizing depletions
alone may produce short term results but rarely resolve circumstances stably throughout the entire
system. Lets imagine a crystal worker who has economic challenges from an insufficient income.
Our hypothetical person constructs a crystal grid to stimulate her prosperity. If all goes well, after
a period of time she might indeed experience an increase in her financial circumstances. However,
this positive result will likely be short-lived. The reason for this is that most depletions are the result
of one or more congestions located elsewhere. Because depletions and lack are easy to identify our
natural tendencies are to treat the depleted area and overlook the associated congestions. So, our

crystal worker continues to use crystal grids and other tools to stimulate her depleted prosperity, but
never receives a completely satisfying outcome that sustains over time.
3. There are also risks that accumulate from energizing depleted areas repeatedly. When you energize
a depleted area, some of the energy adds to the congested areas that are unresolved within the system.
These in turn become more swollen and solid. At some point, the congested areas may discharge
in a negative manner that can be surprising and possibly even dangerous. As a crystal worker, you
might experience a baffling flashback, where you get a negative result that seems to be linked to
the crystal work you were trying to perform but clearly isnt what you were intending to produce.
Such experiences are warnings that congested areas are being overlooked and are at risk of becoming
seriously destabilized. Pay attention and be careful if this occurs.
4. The remedy for most congestions is to release their masses, empty them out and let them rebalance.
To effect a complete healing it is necessary to release the core trauma or stuck point. The resultant
discharge can be unpleasant if the congested area has been overlooked and ignored for a long period
of time. Some of the congested material may have become toxic, which can release physical, mental,
emotional, spiritual, and even circumstantial negativity into the environment. Seriously congested
areas may require multiple treatments and also should be released slowly.
5. You can rapidly accelerate progress in a person by combining a release of congested areas with gentle
stimulation of depleted areas. As the system begins to flow and rebalance, you can then add resonant
stones to strengthen the area or shift its vibrational pattern.
If you are creating crystal grids or laying stones or a person, be mindful of whether your intention is
to stimulate an area, release congestions, help create motion in a stagnant area, or manifest something
new. The stones will form a network together in often complex patterns. Your responsibility as a crystal
worker is to use the stones in a harmonious manner that creates balance where imbalances existed
before. By understanding the three energetic conditions, observing the area where you are working,
and applying the correct energetic remedy for the problem, your crystal creations can be much more
effective.

Learning from your work

with S.O.A.P. notes
by Naisha Ahsian
The single most important tool I use in my healing work is not a stone, an energy, or a healing technique. It is the clinical
S.O.A.P. (session) note. I know that doesn't sound particularly sexy, but it is the clinical session note that has allowed me
to develop my understanding of crystal healing and energy work, as well as developing my skills as a healing facilitator.
Through the use of clinical notes and comparative analysis of healing sessions, I've come to see patterns in energy that I
would otherwise have overlooked entirely. I've learned to perceive what the stones are doing to a client during a healing
session, and what they are attempting to communicate to me. Clinical session notes have made me a better healer and a
better healing facilitator for my clients.
Unfortunately, the use of clinical session notes is very nearly unheard of in most energy healing modalities. I was fortunate
to learn their use very early on in my training in clinical massage therapy. Even after transitioning to full time energy healing
work, I continued to use clinical session notes to keep track of all aspects of a healing session, and to do comparative analysis
between healing sessions for my clients.
Why should you think about using clinical session notes in your vibrational healing practice? Simply put, it will make you a
better healer. It will give you insight into your healing work that you would not otherwise have. It will enable you to faciliate
your clients more deeply and to help them address energy patterns that may not yet be manifest or symptomatic, but that will
cause problems if they remain untreated. Session notes can also help you to work more effectively with other practitioners
when clients are receiving different types of support for an issue. For instance, a client may receive physical therapy for a
torn muscle, but they may also be receiving Reiki, crystal healing or accupuncture for the same problem. Having clinical
session notes allows you to share your therapy insights with that client's other care providers (if the client requests it), thus
enhancing their care and your cross-modality cooperation and knowledge.
The clinical session note can be as simple or as complex as you like. A basic session note format is the S.O.A.P note format
that developed out of the POMR (problem oriented medical record) created by Dr. Lawrence Weed to record client notes
for medical records. S.O.A.Ps are the standard session note format used for many different types of health care records.
S.O.A.P stands for "Subjective", "Objective", "Assessment" and "Plan". These four sections will cover most of what you will
want to keep track of for a healing session.
The Subjective portion of the clinical S.O.A.P note is where you would make a note of what the client tells you about why
they are seeking treatment. This might include symptoms they are experiencing physically or in their life experience.
Generally, when you ask the question, "what can I do for you today?" or "why are you wanting a session today?", the answer
will go here. This section can also include feedback the client gives you about what they noticed during the session itself.
The Objective portion of the S.O.A.P is for you to record what you notice. If the client says they are feeling great, for instance,
but they seem to be presenting with low or depressed energy, you would make a note of that here. So, essentially, this section
is for what you notice about the client during intake or after the session.
The Assessment portion of the S.O.A.P is for actual session notes. This is what occurred during the session, including
observations you make about the client's energy, guidance you may receive, or to write down which stones or other tools
you used during the session.
The Plan portion of the S.O.A.P can include those things that you would like the client to do to continue their healing
outside of the session. For instance, you may recommend a particular meditation or exercise. Or, you may ask them to
continue working with a particular stone or to take a gem elixir. You could also make notes here of future appointments or
recommended appointment frequency.

So, now you have your session note, how do you use it? That really depends on the
type of practice you have. At the very least, it is a good idea to review a prior session
for a client just before they arrive for their next session. This will remind you of
what the client was experiencing prior to their last session, so that you can check
with them on their progress around that symptom or issue. This is hugely important
when identifying and working on deeper patterns beyond the "chakra balancing"
treatment model. Capturing subtle information can lead you to big breakthroughs
in ongoing therapy with a client.
This also helps the client to feel more valued, heard and understood. Letting them know that you remember what they were
experiencing before, and asking them about their progress around that issue, helps the client to be more aware of ongoing
issues as well. This can help them to become more responsible in their self-healing by making them more conscious of
subtle imbalances that they may not have recognized as ongoing patterns.
In crystal therapies, keeping track of the crystals used in a session can also be very helpful. I'm sure you've noticed when a
client seems to get the same stone in session after session, but are you noticing where that stone is placed, if it is moving up
or down the body, or appearing in multiple locations? All of that information can be illuminating in understanding what
the stones are trying to show you about the client's energy and progress.
Comparative analysis between client sessions can also help you to understand their ongoing progress, identify which energy
patterns are truly being resolved and which are chronic imbalances, identify new patterns that are arising, and help the
client to perceive progress that they may have overlooked. It gives an excellent way of dialoguing with your client about the
shifts that have occurred through the work that go beyond just "feeling better" after a session. Very often, a client may not
be fully aware of the progress they've made through ongoing sessions. It is natural for a client to be in an altered state during
a healing session, and to forget what happened in the session soon afterward. By asking your client about their experiences
and recording those notes, you'll be able to refresh your client's memory later and to bring to their awareness important
experiences that they may have forgotten.
In my Crystal Resonance TherapyTM training program, it is not unusual for students to have a three or four page S.O.A.P.
note for a session, including a session analysis chart. While this may seem like a whole lot of work for a session that is
already done and dusted, these session notes are instrumental in their ability to understand what is going on with the
client on much deeper levels than they would be able to perceive otherwise. They use these S.O.A.P notes to create case
histories with a client and to track them over multiple sessions and months of ongoing treatment. I have hundreds of these
case histories that have contributed hugely to my knowledge as a therapist and a teacher. It is amazing to me how much
cumulative knowledge is being lost simply by not using the most basic of session notes in energy therapy.
It is important to note that your healing session notes do not belong to you. They belong
to the client about whom you are writing. It is entirely within the client's rights to ask for
copies of your clinical notes about their sessions, and these should absolutely be provided
to them. You are also responsible for maintaining the privacy and security of your client's
private information, so basic privacy and security practices need to be observed around
any client paperwork.
It is also best to save your note taking for after the session, rather than making a lot of notes
while trying to talk to your client. Every fourth or fifth session, take time to compare your session notes for your client to
find patterns. Discuss your findings with your client and use them as a basis for more focused ongoing energy therapy. But
most of all, use them for your own learning so that you can become the best possible healing facilitator you can be, and
serve others in the best and highest way.
