In their young age, all people possess the ability of spontaneity and fluidity of their minds and bodies. Their energy and capacity to retain knowledge are great, but unfortunately this state of functioning does not last forever. After some time, not so much due to physical deterioration as due to mental limitations originating in our endless prejudices and wrong beliefs, these abilities start to diminish. Our human bodies are extraordinarily susceptible to what our minds suggest. Programming our consciousness by using wrong mental and emotional messages could prove disastrous to our general health. Frequent unconscious reactions of anger, fear, guilt and insecurity bring our body to a state of physical disbalance and produce energy blockages.
Crystal therapy is an ancient art of accommodating crystals, minerals and semiprecious stones directly on or around our body, aiming at reaching a state of deep relaxation, emotional stress release, emotional pain release, balancing the physical body and all the other invisible subtle bodies.
During the process of crystal therapy one can use individual crystals, but more often one deals with specific crystal patterns. These crystal patters can be produced in various geometrical shapes. It is believed that specific geometrical shapes are capable of creating specific light tubes, by means of which our body is able to open itself toward the multidimensional realms of reality. During the crystal therapy, individual crystals can be placed directly on the area of pain, on the specific meridians, acupressure points, and on the energy centers - chakras. A delicate combination of sound, light and color is also one of the possibilities to be used in parallel with the selected crystals for crystal healing.
In the case where one works with individual crystals, it is necessary to firstly locate the problem and thus the specific energy center in charge of the problem. Selected crystals for that particular energy center (chakra) can afterwards be used for a time period between 5 and 25 minutes. If there comes a feeling of unease during the treatment, the crystal therapy should be interrupted and the selected crystals should be replaced by a transparent rock crystal.
Out of all stones the crystals of choice to be used in crystal healing and therapy are quartz, i.e., rock crystal, amethyst, rose quartz, tourmaline, kunzite, and hiddenite.
