Crystal therapy involves the application of crystals or gemstones to facilitate healing. Their energy can be tapped in a variety of ways. Crystals can be worn, carried, or placed in an area where everyone in the vicinity can feel the calming vibrations they emit. Healers also place stones on their clients’ reclined bodies to balance the chakras and aura. ​

Each type of stone has its own unique talent. Gemstone colours, shapes, and textures all have special meanings. You can make crystal elixirs by immersing crystals in a glass of water for a few hours. Healing crystals are used for divination and meditation purposes. You can intuitively choose which crystals to use by noticing which stones you are attracted to. Keep your heart and hands open, and allow the appropriate healing crystals to find their way to you. A method of healing with the use of crystals placed on or around the body is called crystal healing. Since the earliest times, crystals have been used to heal and restore balance. They help in releasing and clearing negative energy, thereby assisting in energy healing. The earliest records of crystal healing have been traced to Ancient Egypt. India’s Ayurvedic records and traditional Chinese medicine also claim healing with the use of crystals, dating back to 5000 years ago.

​What are Crystals?

Crystals are nature’s gift to man and augment healing. They carry spiritual and healing properties that resonate with our bodies.  Crystals are found in all shapes, sizes, colours and compositions. Each crystal has a unique vibrational resonance. They owe their unique qualities to their mineral content, their inherent geometry, and the colour frequency they emit.

​Crystals and the Human Body

The human body has a complex electromagnetic system, also known as a vibrational energy system. Nature has created crystals to be perfect electromagnetic conductors capable of interacting with our electromagnetic system. Crystals have been found to carry vibration that activates certain energy centers within our electromagnetic system, thus having a positive effect on our entire body systems.​
