Crystal Healing
Crystal healing is a process that uses crystals (and sometimes gem stones) to promote healing. The art of crystal healing is thought to date back for centuries - it is believed that the Ancient Egyptians, the Indian Ayurvedics and the Chinese used this kind of healing. It is often most associated with New Age and Alternative healing nowadays.
Crystal healing is based on using the crystals to tap into spiritual healing centres which have various locations on your body. These centres are called chakras. Each chakra is associated with a colour and, although some crystal healers will place clear crystals made from quartz on each chakra, others prefer to place on coloured crystals according to the actual colour connected to the individual chakra.
Placing a crystal on a chakra is considered to boost the flow of spiritual energy throughout your body. It can help balance auras and re-tune energies. So, various physical, emotional and mental problems can be targeted by chakra and healing can be promoted.
Some people will visit a specific crystal healer for treatment here whilst others will carry crystals round with them or have them around the house. You can of course use a healer and keep your own crystals at home as well if you prefer. If looking for a crystal healer then it is a good idea to find a practitioner who has undergone specific training and who is a member of a relevant organisation.
