Crystal Healing

What are Crystals?

Many crystals are beautiful, translucent gems but what actually makes them different from other rocks is that their internal structure is crystalline which has a coherent (logical and rational) pattern.

What is Crystal Healing?

The human energy field is affected by many internal and external influences and it's believed that dis-ease may start within the energy system before and during its physical manifestation in the body. The energy field of crystals is coherent and by using the right combination of crystals, disrupted energy patterns in the body may realign themselves bringing an improvement of well-being.

What happens at a Crystal Healing session?

On your first visit we'll have a talk about your health, present and past. Follow-on sessions include a review of how you felt after your last treatment and how you're feeling now. Skills such as dowsing, muscle-testing, intuition and thought are used to determine the specifics of the treatment. Layouts of single or groups of crystals are arranged and moved as appropriate for your needs.

To receive crystal healing you remain fully clothed and relax comfortably on a couch or in a chair.

How will I feel during and after the treatment?

Many people say they feel relaxed and calm, others will also notice how the body feels as it re-adjusts to changes in its energy centres, pathways and fields. In each session the amount and type of work done is dependent on what is suitable and safe for the individual at that time. Grounding and centring techniques are also used and taught in a session. In this way no harm can occur as a result of a treatment.

It can be helpful to make notes of any changes you notice to discuss at your next session.

How long is a treatment?

The length of each appointment is 1 hour.

Who is Crystal Healing suitable for?

The treatments are suitable for anyone at any age. A crystal treatment can be a good way of rebalancing the body's systems and everyone can benefit from this! Plants, animals and buildings or rooms can also benefit from crystal energy.

How does Crystal Therapy work?

Crystals have a coherent regular energy field which comes from their microscopic crystalline structure. These, combined with different energies from colour vibration and shape of the stone (natural, shaped point, oval, sphere, etc) are used to adjust the energy systems of humans (and plants and animals as well as the energy in spaces).

Differences in layout shape, positioning of single stones and movement of a crystal (eg whether stationary, moving in a pendulum, etc) all have various effects on general or specific energies within and around the human body (such as chakras, meridians or subtle bodies), clearing blockages, energising, calming, improving flow etc.

The physical state of health is thought to stem from the energy field or energy systems of the body. Thus by working with these systems to bring harmony it is believed that physical health can also return.

A unique healing catalyst is created between the crystals, client and practitioner to bring about improved well-being and relief from dis-ease.

The Science bit

Science knows that everything is made of energy, right down to molecular levels. Crystals can both store and transform energy and science and industry use crystals in many applications such as in watches and starter motors. For example in quartz watches thinly sliced quartz is connected to a battery which makes it produce a regular pulse. Using electronics the frequency of this pulse can then be used to mark seconds of time. The pulse can be measured as piezoelectricity. Humans also make electrical pulses (for example heart-beat, brain function) and both people and crystals have an electro-magnetic field.

While crystals produce a regular energy field, the energy field of humans can vary with thoughts and emotions. Physical tasks can also have an effect.

By placing crystals close to the human body the energy frequencies of ill-health will respond and begin to come in line with the coherent qualities of the crystal's vibration. The crystals are used as a catalyst for change to restore good health and well-being.

Absent Healing with Crystals

Known also as distance healing; a crystal grid can be set up for you and then maintained over an appropriate period of time according to your needs. The energy and the intent of healing is the same whether healing in person or absently and this can be helpful for those unable to attend personally for a treatment.

See also distance healing on the Reiki page.

Programmed, Dedicated and Reiki Crystals

A crystal can receive intention which can be gently programmed into it for a specific purpose. For example, you may want help with meditation, giving or receiving healing, promoting confidence or reassurance. I normally do this with clear quartz, amethyst or rose quartz, but others can be used. This process takes time but the consultation and your receipt of the crystal can be done either in person or by telephone, email or letter and then posted to you.

Gem Essences

A gem essence has the energy 'signature' of a crystal stored within it. Like Flower Essences they come in convenient 10ml dropper bottles and, like crystals, can be used for body-mind-emotional issues. I keep a selection of prepared gem essences for purchase or I can make one especially for your needs. They can be used with chakras, meridian points and the aura, space-clearing, emotional issues ...
