Unlike in the O-R at a hospital, though, these instruments often do double duty, for they can be wonderfully useful in helping you to safely explore the spiritual world. Thus, they are beacons and shields when need be, too. And they are exceptional energy boosters/levelers.
You probably know more about wands than about Lightning Sticks, so I've written a short eBook about the Sticks that you can download for free here.
For sure, both rely on crystal energies for their applications. In that regard, then, they are the same, and exhibit similar properties. Moreover, and unlike in the expensive world of hospitals and doctor's offices and drug stores, you can find these instruments in your own neighborhood and make them yourself!
The difference between the two is that the wand is smaller, more manageable, and is affixed with one or more crystals, and perhaps other additions, as you will discover when reading about them.
Perhaps because of changing energies these days, I use crystals more and more in my practice. Previously I relied on my Lightning Stick, as it contains millions of tiny crystals, some silica and some quartz, all charged the instant when lightning struck the tree from which it was made. The quartz crystals I employ on the wands serve a different purpose than the Lightning Sticks for leavening and moderating energy. The Lightning Stick is a powerhouse, but the quartz crystals are the subtle influencers, the harmonizers, the gatherers of rays when mounted on a Lightning-Struck Wand.
