Crystal Therapy
Crystal Therapy & Metaphysical Properties
Rocks, crystals, precious and semi-precious stones, have to be some of the most wondrous things provided to us by Mother Earth. The use of crystals in assisting the bodies natural healing process is becoming a more main stream and widely accepted therapy - to some it may seem relatively new, but in essence it has actually been around and used for thousands of years. Crystal therapy is an ancient art with historic records showing their use in Ancient Egypt, the Egyptians believed in their amazing ability to work with the bodies natural healing mechanisms to facilitate an accelerated healing process. Crystals can be used on their own for a complete treatment system, or combined with another treatment such as Reiki. They can be used to help improve your energy flow and for chakra balancing and unblocking, it is a phenomenal treatment, try it for yourself!
At the beginning of a consultation, time will be taken to talk to you about your current physical and emotional state in order that the correct crystals can be selected. You remain fully clothed during the treatment; stones will be placed on and around your body in selected locations. How they work is difficult to explain, but it is known that they emit a vibrational energy that works to release blockages within the Client. All in all it is an extremely relaxing and therapeutic process which helps to restore the balance and harmony in your life and works to bring about and encourage a positive improvement in your well-being.
A session lasts 1 hour including a short consultation either side of the treatment, the first treatment includes a free consultation, so allow a little longer.
Potential new clients should be aware that whilst previous clients have reported positive results from treatments, no guarantees can be given.
Crystal Properties
There are loads of books and sites that you can obtained more detailed information, below I have started to list some of my favourite crystals and my beliefs for what they are used for and their qualities.
Citrine - oh how could you not love this stone! It has such a happy vibrant energy that simply sparkles from it. It is such an amazing happy stone that it never needs cleansing. It pulls to it such positivity that it is a great stone to put near to your purse, finances or even bank statement to draw prosperity to it. Feng Shui believes that the wealth corner of your home is the furthest left hand corner from where you enter your home (front door), so keep this area free of clutter and why not put a nice chunk of citrine there to boost your prosperity!
Obsidian - is a naturally formed volcanic glass. It is found in a number of colours, two of those more readily available are blue and black. Obsidian is a great crystal for releasing old issues and habits.
- Apache Tears is believed by some to be more gentle than black obsidian, but I beg to differ. My experience is that it has the ability to shift to the surface deep rooted pain or blocks, ones we may not even realise are there. It is particularly good for releasing issues of the heart and whilst it may feel as if a sword is stabbed into it, look at it from the perspective that a sword or thorn is being removed and so allowing the wounds to heal. I use this crystal for clients when they just can't quite seem to shift issues, it may take a number of sessions to work with this crystal to fully remove the block, but certainly seems to help and as it's name implies there may be a few tears, but generally I feel these are of relief.
- Black Obsidian used in dowsing has an amazing capacity to get right to the truth of the matter, whether the cause is in this lifetime or a past life. It can bring information to the fore so quickly some people find it difficult to deal with its brutal honesty. In addition it emits a wonderful protective energy and is perfect crystal to use to block negativity. Black obsidian also makes a fantastic stone for scrying.
- Blue Obsidian is dyed to obtain that gorgeous colour, but don't let that put you off, it is a wonderful stone which is ideal to use on the throat chakra. Blue obsidian aids in communication and to overcome fear of speaking, so is a great crystal to have if you need to do a talk or presentation - or when you need a bit of help to speak your truth!
