The use of Crystals dates back to the ancient Egyptian times, and goes across all civilizations. It has been used by the ancient Chinese, Aztec, Greek, Indian, Mayan and widely used in the civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria.
The word “Crystal “ comes from the Greek word for ice, due to the belief that clear quartz was water so deeply frozen it would remain forever in a solid state.
Many other popular Crystals have names of Greek origin – Amethyst for instance, means “not drunken” and was carried or worn to prevent drunkenness. Greek soldiers were know to associate Iron with Mars, the God of War, and they would rub themselves in Hematite before going into battle believing it would make them better warriors.
Crystal Therapy is the use of the natural properties of each individual crystal to promote healing. They work on the premise that Crystals can, in a sense, communicate with the energies flowing around the human body.
The Crystals affect our electro-magnetic energy fields (subtle bodies) which surround and permeate the physical, emotional, mental and etheric fields of the body. The Crystals absorb, focus, direct and diffuse our energy fields to enable an illness to find its natural energetic rhythm to be restored again.
These link the energy fields of our aura with emotions, glands, organs and enable physical circulatory flows.
In short, Crystal Therapy promotes Wellbeing.
Instead of attempting to diagnose any ailment you may be suffering from, the therapist will first see what the condition of your aura (a shield that surrounds the body, showing the emotional, mental and spiritual make up). If the aura is unbalanced, results in a blockage of energy which will then lead to a physical ailment.
The therapist will help you to relax on a couch and then begin to place the specific crystals needed for your personal wellbeing, either on the body or around it. The session is carried out fully clothed.
When the Crystals have been placed, you will lay relaxing for around 45 minutes to allow the Crystal energies to work.
During the session, you may experience some slight tingling sensations as the shifting energies within the body work.
It is painless, very relaxing and more often than not, you will fall asleep!
After the session, your therapist will talk to you about what you felt, and discuss any emotional issues that may arise.
