I wonder how many have ever actually had a crystal healing treatment? What it was like? And if not, why not? Does something put you off?

There are many ways that anyone can use crystals in their everyday life and I will be going over some of those ways in other posts. Just by carrying a stone in your pocket or sitting with one in your hand can bring about changes that can improve our health and emotional well being But here, in this thread we can discuss the practice of 'Crystal Healing' from a therapists and clients point of view


What do people think is crystal healing?

For many, crystal healing is given in a treatment or therapy room, with a couch or thick blanket to lie down on. The atmosphere is designed to be relaxing with perhaps soft music, candles, and incense or essential oil burners. A full history is taken before the crystal therapist decides which crystals to use and where to place them for the best effect. In some situations, sessions can be given whilst the client is seated, for instance at a show or display at a demonstration. The sessions can last from a quick taster of about 15 minutes to over an hour.



Some myths explored....

1) You don't need to take your clothes off or be naked,
I just like this pic lol
Most treatments will be given fully clothed, unless coupled with massage when warm towels will be used to keep modesty.

2) Crystal Treatments use heavy dirty stones.
Crystal healing is non-invasive, subtle and very gentle and do not need large pieces of crystals to work, sometimes just placing the crystal near the aura can help. All crystals are cleaned and cleansed prior to each use. Most have individual sets for each client.

3) Crystal Treatments are very expensive and a waste of money.
For most crystal healers you are paying for their time and energy aswell as a therapy room, insurance, and essential therapy tools like couch and crystal tool kit and sterilisation and cleaning. Some offer your own personal set of crystals to use as 'homework'. It all adds up, many also give other treatments at the same time, reflexology or reiki being the commonist. If you think you are being charged too much then search around or contact the complementary therapy association in your country. Many also give treatments for free.

4) Why pay when I can do-it-myself?
Good question.... Without some knowledge you are possibly going to say crystals don't work. And the ones you are choosing might be the wrong ones or even be creating more of an imbalance than you already have. Read and learn all you can, there are many good sites on the net that will help. But perhaps think of a paid for session as a 'pampering session' ask lots of questions and see how the therapist is eager to help

5) Werthers Toffee Treatments work just as well, crystals are a con!
Werthers Toffee Treatments do work lol, but not for very long lol,

Far better to use individually wrapped though or leave by the till lol
Lying down relaxing to soft music and being listened to in a caring environment will make you feel better... till you  get up! Thats where the crystals show their superiority over lumps of hard sugar lol.
(This is for anyone that watches tv and saw the programme on crystal healing and toffees rofl!!)


So who has ever been? What did you really think?

Two years ago I was at a very stressfull place in my life and experiencing bad panic attacks.

I went to a nateopath and had therapy and she also did crystal therapy. She was not using Reiki but I will say with 100% conviction that it did and does work. The effects were immediate and I did not take any medication other than vitamins prescribed by her.

So I vouch for crystal healing 100% being on the receiving end so to speak.

Due to geographical location, I've not had a crystal treatment in several years.  But my experience when I did receive treatments were awesome.  I would have a general type treatment, no specific ailment, but always had an improvement in my sinus problems, allergies, and enhanced my own energy receptors.
So, I'm a believer.

Crystal healing is a form of vibrational medicine in which subtle energy given off by a crystal is used to treat the body, the mind, and the spirit.  Since crystals emit beneficial energetic vibrations, introducing them into one’s energy field can actually help to repair energetic imbalances within the ethereal body.  For this reason, crystal healing can be performed on anything that possesses an energy field, be it a person, a plant or animal, or the environment.

Although crystals have been used to treat the body, mind, and spirit, crystal healing is not meant to replace conventional medicine.  Instead, it should be used along with allopathic treatments to compliment and enhance them.  The most important thing to keep in mind when beginning to use crystals for healing purposes is that a crystal’s power is relatively inert until one intentionally directs its energy.  It is not the crystal that possesses healing energy; it is one’s intent to heal, by way of the crystal, which manifests results.

The art of crystal healing has been present in many eras and cultures, some dating back for thousands of years.  It was commonplace in ancient Hebrew and Mayan societies as well as in the Native American, Indian, and Tibetan cultures.  Although not yet fully accepted by Western medicine, its methods are still often used and prescribed in many other parts of the world.  Since each type of crystal carries with it a unique energetic vibration, certain types of crystals can be utilized in the treatment of specific physical, emotional, or spiritual ailments.

What are the methods used to do crystal healing if you are alone and there is no one to help you out?
