Because we live the majority of our lives in artificial lighting we may be paying a price we are unaware of. The light from fluorescent or incandescent bulbs is absent in some color frequencies while containing abnormal energy peaks in other frequencies.

Normalizing and filling in the lacking color spectrum with the use of specific color filters or gemstones can help to relax or enhance your client’s mood and more. Learn how to incorporate color into your treatments by starting with a Rainbow Reiki treatment and your colored gemstone set. If you like the results and want to add colored light to your treatments I recommend you purchase the "Let There Be Light" book and the Roscolene Filter with lightbox kit. Resources are listed at the bottom of your ezine.
Preparing for your Rainbow Reiki Gemstone treatment:
You will not cleanse the skin or apply any skin care products – save that for your facial treatments. It is important to let clients know this is a new category of service that you offer. They may arrive and leave with very little effort (not having to re-apply make-up or deal with mussed up hair.) The treatment may last for 30 minutes to an hour.
1. Prepare your table with a gemstone SMA: Towel, clean gemstones, aromatherapy mists or fragrant herbs made into a sachet – polished stones are the easiest to sanitize using soap and hot water, placing them in the dish washer if they are sturdy enough. You may also use pictures of stones.
2. Prepare your client – have them put on a wrap, select an affirmation, choose a meditation or guided visualization before they lie down. Instruct them take 3 or more deep breaths as you mist them with the appropriate essential oil combination. Let them know what you will be doing – placing the stones on their Chakra centers first and then your hands on the head, neck and heart to initiate balance and overall wellness. You will incorporate light touch with acupressure and trigger points of the head and shoulders.
3. Place your gemstones on the appropriate Chakras;
a. Red Jasper or Black Tourmaline on a tissue at the pubic bone for the 1st Chakra
b. Carnelian an inch below the navel at the 2nd Chakra
c. Citrine at the opening to the ribs below the sternum for the 3rd Chakra
d. Aventurine and/or Rose Quartz at the heart for the 4th Chakra
e. Apatite or Turquoise at the base of the neck for the 5th Chakra
f. Sodalite or Lapis on the forehead at the 3rd eye for the 6th Chakra
g. Fluorite or Amethyst at the top of the head or under the towel for the Crown or 7th Chakra
4. With the gemstones placed on the body go to the head of your client to start the Reiki hand positions and acupressure/trigger points. Place your hands in the 1st position shown over the eye area. Hold your hands here for 2 – 4 minutes. Slowly move your hands to press the acupressure points above the brow with your fingers then circle on the temples and release. Do this twice before moving to position #2 at the top of the head.
Hand position 1
5. Hand position 2: Hold your hands at the top of the head for 2 – 4 minutes. Slowly move your hands laterally letting the thumbs remain at the middle of the head. Move your thumbs to the soft spot of the crown and press slowly with firm pressure. Continue pressing to the hairline where you separate your thumbs moving laterally to the sides of the head to the temples. Circle the temples lightly and move your hands to the 3rd Reiki position.
Hand position 2
6. Hand position 3: Cup your hands directly over the ears for 2 – 4 minutes. When you are done gently massage the ears starting at the lobes and moving your way to the top of the ears. Pull and unroll the ears as you massage. Do this 2 times.
Hand position 3
7. Hand position 4: Slide hands under the head so that palms are touching and fingers are pressing the trigger points below the occipital ridge. Gently pull the head towards you as you lean back slightly and hold for 2 – 4 minutes. When you are done with this position you may work your fingers through their hair to rub the back of the head and around the ear area before moving to the next position.
Hand position 4
8. Hand position 5: Place your hands over the throat area with fingers slightly overlapping. Leave some space between their neck and your hands so they can breathe easily. Hold your hands here for 2 – 4 minutes. Move your hands to the sides of the neck with thumbs down and press the upper trapezius muscle from the base of the neck out to the shoulders with your thumbs. Repeat 2 – 3 times as needed.
Hand position 5
9. Hand position 6: Slowly move your hands from their shoulder and onto the heart. Your fingers will overlap and touch the middle of the sternum. Keep your hands here for 2 – 4 minutes. Gently lift your hands off your client, keeping your hands together until they are over their head and in front of your body.

Please note: Some stones may cause a reaction such as twitching. Stay aware and make sure your client knows to alert you if she/he is uncomfortable at any time so you can make adjustments with what you are doing. Usually you will only need to remove the stone in question.
Remove all the stones from their body and use Brain Alert Mood Mist to gently wake them up.
There is no right or wrong way to perform this treatment. If your client is happy that’s what matters most. You are building trust and a deep bond through healing touch. Offer a Rainbow Reiki series of ½ hour or 1 hour treatments and price them like you would a facial of equal time. Include it on your menu as a weekly mini-retreat to recharge body, mind and spirit. Let your client know that the effects are sustained when they visit you weekly. A color a week is all you need to stay healthy, wealthy and wise.
Join me for a Reiki 1 or Mini-Treatment Class. Wellness and healing treatments are the future for Esthetics. I will teach you how to create a healing oasis for clients to visit you weekly. Check my website for upcoming dates or contact me at 626-405-0424 or Linda@BertautBeauty.com.
