Crystal Healing
Crystal Therapy has been used for millennia to heal and bring balance. It is a gentle non-invasive form of alternative healing that works holistically to harmonize the mind, body, emotions and spirit, helping to increase our feeling of well-being, neutralize negativity, lift depression and to help us to become integrated, whole beings.
It is based on the belief that certain crystals and gems possess a powerful energy that can positively affect imbalances in human energy fields and thus promote health and well-being. Different types and colours of healing crystals are believed to have different healing powers. For example, amethyst is thought to calm the mind and uplift the spirit and rubies are thought to cleanse the blood and foster courage.
During a Crystal Therapy session the patient lies clothed on a comfortable bed or on a table. The therapist uses a pendulum to determine where blockages of energy in the body’s aura are located and then places crystals on specific parts of the body. Crystals can be used in conjunction with the seven chakras for chakra balancing. Listed are some of the chakras (energy points) and relevant stones that may be used for healing:
- Root Chakra – jasper, garnet, onyx
- Second Chakra (womb) – carnelian, moonstone
- Third Chakra (solar plexus) – citrine, amber, topaz
- Fourth Chakra (heart) – rose quartz, kunzite, rhodochrosite
- Fifth Chakra (throat) – aquamarine, turquoise
- Sixth Chakra (third eye) – sapphire, turquoise, amethyst
- Seventh Chakra (crown) – clear quartz or amethyst
