Crystal Healing is an ancient therapy that works with the natural power and energy of crystals and gemstones to improve health and well-being.  Crystal Healing aims to bring harmony and balance to the whole of one’s being, restoring physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.  Crystal Healing works by bringing our energy systems back into harmony so that the body can access its inherent ability to heal itself and return to a state of well-being.

Crystal Healing works upon the electromagnetic field around our body, known as the aura. This field has been discussed and contemplated within the realms of healing and philosophy for thousands of years. Kirlian photography has been used to photograph it and science has proven that it must exist around every physical object and organism. An in-depth look at the aura reveals that it consists of several layers called the subtle bodies. These contain further energy systems, all interconnected and affecting each other as well as the physical body. The auric field directly relates to our emotional, mental and spiritual makeup and so, when we are well and healthy in mind, body and spirit, the energies flowing through it are clear and balanced.  When energy becomes blocked it is unable to flow freely through our aura and physical, emotional and pyschological problems can manifest.  By discovering where the energy is hitting a block, action can be taken to remove the block and allow energy to flow freely and the body to restore itself to perfect health.

Crystals are superb energy transmitters and vibrate at varying frequencies.  Their crystalline structure conducts and amplifies energy and when bought into our own electromagnetic field the vibration has a direct effect on us.  The ability of crystals to focus energy means that they can be used for specific tasks, such as directing healing energy to a point on the body or to an emotional blockage. 

Each crystal contains specific properties and vibrations that can relate to different parts of our body and which are used to alleviate specific conditions. The vibration of each crystal is unique, formed as a result of its colour, chemical composition, inner atomic structure and frequency and its shape. The properties of the crystal work with energy in different ways, making them a wonderful tool for healing, for example they:

•        absorb
•        transmute
•        transform
•        balance
•        amplify
•        direct
•        remove
•        calm
•        energise
•        purify
