Crystal Healing

About

Crystal  healing is an alternative healing technique that uses precious/semi-precious stones and minerals to restore the balance in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of the self.

 

Sessions 

A typical crystal healing session begins with the person lying down fully dressed.

The energy centers (chakras) are checked for imbalances by the practitioner.

Mandalas, which are geometric shapes, are created with stones on and around the body to restore the balance in the energetic centers.

The session usually lasts around one hour.

 

Different Uses

It is possible to enjoy the properties of stones and minerals also in different ways:

 

-Wear them

-Meditate with them

-Make elixirs

 

It is important for a stone to be in its original vibration, so it works properly.

To reset and regenerate the stones, there are many different methods (see link at top right of page).

 

How does it work? 

Each mineral or stone has a specific vibration related to its mineral composition.

These vibrations can be communicated to water.

Studies have shown that water keeps memories and has the ability to store vibrations to its memory.

 The human body consists of about 70% of water. For this reason humans can be very sensitive to the influence of minerals and stones.

After decades of experimentations a popular belief has been established about the healing properties of stones, based on a growing number of testimonials of increased well being and health.

 

History 

Ancient civilisations world-wide have recognised the healing properties of stones.

For example in Egypt they used malachite powder (currently known to be rich in copper) on wounds to avoid infections. Copper has been proven to reduce edema and infections. 

In ancient greece they would put amethyst powder in the wine to prevent them from getting drunk. Every civilisation from China to America has considered stones to be a sign of wealth. 

Used as much by royalty as by common people, humans from ancient times have believed that there was more than beauty in stones.
