Using Wands in Energy Healing
Introduction
Wands are very useful in
energy healing with any modality (Reiki, Aqualead, etc.)... Using a wand can be completely separate from
any Wicca, pagan or other religious practice.
A wand is an energy tool, not only reserved for shamanism or witchcraft.
It can be made from a simple wooden stick
or branch; what makes it ‘a wand’ is the intention and energy you program it
with. They are a powerful manifestation
tool; a wand is also very helpful in self-healing, to clear your aura or upper
chakras.
Wands may have a crystal at
the point; the best crystals to attach to a wand are clear quartz and amethyst. You can easily make your own wand from a
branch or piece of wood; feel free to carve symbols or special ‘words’ on it. Energy flows from your elbow, through your arm
and hand towards the tip of the wand.
The types of wands (with or without crystal)
There are different types of
wands, depending on whether they have a crystal and according to their length.
* Wands with a crystal
attached to the end are mainly used for healing work.
* Wands without a crystal
are used for manifestation work; they have a more ‘magical’ use.
The purposes and attributes of different wands:
Wands with a crystal
(healing):
For meditation
Use during a healing session
In distant healing
To practice self-healing
Empowering goals and
intentions
Increasing energy (rotate
clockwise)
Releasing/removing energy
(rotate counter-clockwise)

Cleansing the aura
Wands without a crystal
(magic):
To open an energy space
For manifestation
Telekinesis, levitation
Altering the elements
Using spells
Transformation/transmutation
of objects and things
The length of the wands
The length of the wands also
differentiates them in terms of use and intensity of power. The longer wands (16 in. – 22 in.) are more gentle and are used for energy healing. Long wands usually have a crystal attached at
the end.
The shorter wands (10 in. –
14 in.) however are more powerful and direct the energy in a more intense
fashion. For this reason, short wands do
not have crystals attached to them. They
require a direct contact with the energy, without a crystal being involved. Here
are the differences between short and long wands (without a crystal):
Short wands (10 in. – 14 in)
Manifesting and
un-manifesting objects and things
For movement, telekinesis
and levitation
Using spells
Transformation,
transfiguration of things and objects
Long wands (16 in. – 22 in.)
Working with elements on a
larger scale (example: the element of air)
Opening an energy space or
portal
Other useful information
Wands tend to have a
‘personality’ of their own. They convey
energy and power and should be treated with respect. Wands choose their owners or guardians and
hold the energy space, even when not used.
Avoid sharing or lending
your wand to others. The wand is a very
personal energy tool and should be always be used by the same person.
One person can have many
different wands.
You can make your own wand,
and make wands for others. Use a branch
or long piece of wood and natural materials if you can; be creative (see
article: How to make wands).
Please note: the use of wands in the scope of the Aqualead Program
is not related to Wicca, witchcraft or any other religious/ritual practice.
