What is Crystal Healing? 

 

Crystal Healing or Crystal Therapy is an ancient healing technique that dates back thousands of years and was used in many different civilisations and cultures including Antient Egypt. It is a deeply calming and relaxing holistic treatment that involves placing crystals on and around the body to bring balance, release energy blockages and restore the natural flow of energy. 

 

 

How does it work?

 

It works on the principle that all matter, including us, is made of energy that vibrates at different rates. The energy vibration that a crystal emits can resonate with and influence our own energy system. Crystals have a very high and precise rate of vibration and so they are utilized extensively in modern technology; from calculators and clocks to their use in computers and laser technology. They are magnifiers of energy, capable of absorbing and enhancing energy. 

 

Crystals work with our energetic field (or Aura), and can move, absorb, direct and diffuse energy within the body. All life has a system of energy that flows through a network of highways, called Meridians, and energy centres, known of as Chakras. This life sustaining flow of energy is vital to our health and wellbeing. When we become ill, physically or mentally, our energy begins to vibrate differently and blockages may occur within our system which can restrict energy flow. This can also happen through our negative thought patterns or when we experience trauma. These blockages and restrictions can have a negative effect on our physical, mental and spiritual health, often leading to illness and disease. Each crystal's unique geometric pattern means it can generate a vibration that resonates with the natural energy state of certain aspects of ourselves, bringing those parts of us back into balance. Once the body is back into a state of harmony and equilibrium, the natural healing process is no longer restricted and we are able to heal much more effectively. 

 

 

What are the benefits?

 

By bringing our physical, mental and spiritual aspects back into balance and removing obstructions from our energy system, we are able to cope much better with the problem in hand. Our self healing abilities are no longer restricted and providing a positive mindset and healthy lifestyle is implemented, it can greatly enhance the natural healing process and have many positive long lasting effects.

Crystal Therapy is wonderfully versatile and can be used to help on every level with many conditions. It has been known to help speed up recovery from injury or illness and is particularly helpful for those with anxiety, depression and stress related conditions. 

 

 

What happens during a treatment? 

 

Treatments usually last around 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the extent of work that needs to be done, however everyone's needs are different and no treatment is the same, therefore your session may run a little longer than anticipated. Your session will begin with a short case history and discussion about your needs. You will then be asked to remove only your shoes and lay comfortably on a treatment couch. I may begin with a short guided visualisation technique to help you relax and will then begin the treatment by taking a Chakra reading using a pendulum to find out if there are any obstructions or imbalance within the energy centres. Different crystals will then be placed on and around the body and a generator crystal is used to energise specific areas and to remove blockages in others. In a more comprehensive treatment I will also work with sound using crystal bowls and other therapeutic instruments to clear and rebalance energy. During a treatment some clients have reported feeling different sensations such as tingling, warmth or a pulsing of energy and others report no feelings at all. In most cases a deep sense of relaxation is felt and clients may drift off to sleep. 

 

 

What happens after a treatment?

 

Following your treatment you will be given simple after care instructions which you must follow in order to get the most benefit from your treatment. This may include resting and avoiding toxins. 

You may experience a slight temporary increase in symptoms or new ones may occur such as feeling tired or emotional. This is completely normal and is a sign that the body is releasing unwanted energy and shifting back into balance, normally only lasting for up to 24 hours.

 

 

How many sessions will I need?

 

Crystal Therapy can have very profound results and many people feel positive effects after just one session. Some minor problems may only require one or two treatments, however a short course of treatments may be required in order to clear very deep routed energy especially that which is related to trauma. Other long-term conditions may need ongoing treatments in order to help manage symptoms. A course of treatments are usually taken with three to four weeks between each session. I will suggest a suitable number of sessions depending on your needs and this can be reviewed and changed in line with progress. You are free to discontinue treatments at any time; ultimately you are responsible for your own health and wellbeing and following the advice of any health professional is at your own discretion.

It it is important to understand that healing is a process that requires time and a willingness to work on oneself outside of the therapy room. Any healing given can only hold long term benefits alongside a positive mindset and healthy lifestyle choices.

 

Please be advised that although Crystal Therapy is a very powerful healing aid, it should only be used in complement to your doctor’s advice and treatment. It should never be relied on solely as a treatment and you should always first seek medical advice from your GP if you feel unwell in any way.
