Crystal Therapy
Note: This is just a guide to Crystal Therapy.
This is one close to my own heart! If anyonw wants me to expand on this anytime, please let me know
What is Crystal Therapy?
Crystals are precious and semi-precious stones, credited with particular astrological, esoteric, and physical properties. Each stone has a particular vibration pattern which can act upon a body’s energy field to increase the available energy and also to correct any
imbalance or blockages.
Crystals have been used to transmit healing energy from a healer or other external energy source to a patient, and treatment can be given by placing the crystal on a specific part of the body such as an associated chakra or acupuncture point, or by placing them in configurations or patterns surrounding the client. Particular crystals are credited with special healing properties.
Select the crystal which has the properties to help you. A list has been provided in order to help you with choosing your crystal. Or.....simply pick the stone that "calls" to you!
First decide why you are doing the crystal work. Is it for you or someone else? What is the problem? Do you need to give or receive energy? What does it require?
Tuning in to any energy is the ability to quiet the mind, allowing your inner self, or intuition, to perceive truth. By practicing this art, we develop a sensitivity toward inner information and the ability to condition our mind to listen on a much more subtle level. This developing can allow us the ability to sense energy and actually perceive on an even more subconscious plane.
Crystal therapy, when used in healing - will help to rebalance energy through placement of the crystals over the charkas.
Red Stones: protection, courage, energy. Help with blood, relieve anemia, stop bleeding, heal rashes and wounds.

Crystal healing works on all levels and relates directly to organs and chakras.
Crystals and gemstones have a similar vibrational energy to us, especially clear quartz. They work gently, unobtrusively and do not have to be believed in to work.
They can be worn as jewellery or placed around the home depending on what you want to do with them.
I am going to start listing some of the various crystals and the effect they have on the various bodies.
If anyone has anything they wish to ask, please feel free and if I can, I'll answer it
