Crystal Therapy
Crystals are powerful healing tools. They can help us with our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual life. Crystals are very much alive, they both absorb and conduct energy.
As Judith Hall in her book Crystal Therapy says: " The haunting beauty of the mineral kingdom is irresistible, so it's no wonder that the human race has a long history of wearing and working with crystals. Historians and archaeologists have traced the use of crystals in healing and beauty rituals back to the earliest civilisations. And no wonder. They magnify personal and planetary vibrational energy. Our ancestors used crystals as mystical tools, energy generators, communication enhancers and medical instruments. Archaeological digs show their uses as talismans of good fortune and protection: as well as amulets, jewellery, and magnificent home showpieces."
We still use crystals today in this form, how many of us doesn't have a piece of jewellery that is our birthstone. We use crystals everyday, in our watches, televisions, computers, medical equipment and lasers to name a few and we don't even realise it.
Crystals have been used for thousands of years to bring both balance and harmony to our bodies. Ancient healers knew some crystals were calming and some energising. Some crystals contain minerals that we know have therapeutic properties, we know copper can help to reduce inflammation and swelling. Malachite has a high copper content and is used for aching joints and muscles.
Everything has its own energy humans, plants, animals, crystals, colour, sound and light all are different, but we are able to interact with each other. When used in Crystal Therapy the energies of the crystals merge with our energies to bring them and therefore our bodies back into balance.
It is a joy to watch children when they discover crystals, many instinctively know how to work with them, they often treat them as old friends and love to hold them and have them around. We can learn a lot from our children.
