What is Crystal Healing?

Many more people are turning to crystal healing or alternative therapies as an acceptable alternative to drugs.

From the very early days of man, right up until today, they have influenced our lives, and have been used to balance our mind and body, through tapping into that undeniable, (albeit immeasurable) powerful force of crystal healing; they are magical, mysterious, and have a law of their own.
They are an integral part of the earth’s core and were placed on this earth to send out healing to all life, whether man, animal or plant life, and because the power of Crystals lie in their natural ability to focus, amplify, transmit, receive and balance, they can be used to amplify our thoughts, help you to focus, transmit energy, and generate love all around you.


A number of schools exist in Europe and North America, offering courses in crystal therapy, and is growing in popularity, but in general terms this field is largely unregulated.

Many individuals use all types of these stones for self healing.		  
Medical professionals place little credence in crystal healing, and attribute any observed benefits to a placebo effect.

Their scepticism is derived from a lack of scientific evidence, and also differences of opinion amongst practitioners, about how this therapy actually works.

 Crystal Healing is largely viewed as an enhancement to other alternative natural therapies, and should not be used exclusively in cases of serious illness.

There are few, if any, proven side effects to this type of alternative healing.

Practitioners believe that particularly quartz, amethyst or clear quartz, contain energy that enhances both the mind and body.

They believe that the crystals can be "charged" with healing energy, in a manner similar to the charging of a battery.

The charged stone can then be used to alter the energy patterns in the person receiving treatment.		  
Numerous techniques are used to prepare them prior to therapeutic use.

One such technique is clearing, which involves using an invocation to remove negative emotional energy from the stone.

Another method is cleansing, which is said to maintain the crystal's existing energy level, but converts the negative energy into positive.

This may be accomplished by immersing the stone for a minimum of 24 hours in dry salt or a saline solution.

Crystals can also be charged, by exposing them to running water, magnets, sunlight, moonlight, pyramids, fire, laser light, or living animals, birds, fish, or plants.

Gem stones that have been near meteorite fragments, earthquakes, volcanoes, or trees struck by lightening are also highly valued for healing properties, due to the immense energy surrounding them.		  
Some healers believe that crystals can be programmed with human thoughts, and this may be done by placing a stone against the forehead, then visualizing a desired outcome.

Although its effectiveness is disputed, crystal healing is generally safe and inexpensive.

Crystal healing unblocks the negative patterns, by raising the frequencies of the energy field that surround your body, and because this healing is the process of working with these energy fields, it is said with their help, you will have added vitality, and generally feel much better.

This energy is the energy of the soul, and working with the energy of the soul, is perceived to be the highest form of intervention you can receive, from a practitioner experienced in crystal healing.
