Crystal Healing

Crystal healing is a gentle but powerful ancient healing treatment which aligns the mind, body and spirit. Crystals have been used for healing since ancient times by many different cultures, including Indian Ayurvedic medicine traditions and traditional Chinese medicine, both of which are over five thousand years old. There has been a revival of the art of crystal healing over the years and it has become very popular in the West.

Different crystals have distinctive properties that can focus particular forms of healing energy. They can enhance your self-healing abilities as certain crystals help you overcome specific complaints. They influence the subtle body – the energy body that carries our life force (known in the east as prana or chi). This life force is particularly focused at energy centres on your body called chakras. By placing crystals on these chakra centres, the healing effect on our system is boosted to bring about better health and well-being.

A treatment usually lasts between 45 minutes to an hour, unless a more complex technique is required. During the treatment you remain fully clothed, whilst lying on a crystal-healing bed, or seated in a chair, if you prefer. A crystal pendulum may be used to hone-in on any problem areas. Then, specifically chosen crystals are placed on and around the body to meet the individual needs of the client. Throughout the treatment, certain crystals may be swapped or completely removed, depending on what is needed.

Crystal healing can improve your well-being and it can be used to assist with any ailment, condition, symptom, or issue. The treatment itself is very relaxing and leaves you feeling much calmer and at peace – very similar to the effects of Reiki. Again, crystal healing is especially good for people with pain that is far too tender to touch and cannot be treated with massage, or for whom undressing causes discomfort.
