Crystal & Gemstone Healing F.A.Q.
 

What is Crystal & Gemstone Healing?
Crystal & Gemstone therapy uses natural gemstones and quartz crystals to gently correct, align or release imbalanced or blocked energy within the body.  Each stone’s unique energy vibration raises the vibration frequency level of the aura (or energy field) surrounding the body where emotions, feeling and reactions are stored.

Crystal and gemstone healing is not a newly discovered healing modality and should not be designated as a “New Age” therapy. In fact it is used in many indigenous cultures, plus it also dates back to ancient Atlantis and Lumuria (Mu) civilizations.

Focus of Crystal & Gemstone Healing
The focus of crystal & gemstone healing is to bring unresolved trauma or issues, which inhibit or block the flow of energy through the "light system" (or the body’s energy field) to consciousness.  These can be from a past life situation or from the present time period.  Unresolved trauma or issues will manifest in the physical body first as physical symptoms (E.g. pain, headache, stiffness, allergies, inflammation, etc.), but if the symptoms are not resolved, then they will eventually manifest in the physical body as illness or disease.

How does it Work?
The energy vibrations from crystals and gemstones access the "soul" level through the seven main chakras (body’s energy centres).  The stones create movement where stuck energy exists.  By raising the body’s energy vibration, this in turn unblocks deep seated negative or stuck patterns hidden at the "soul" level, which is where the "root" cause is found, identified and eliminated.  Once blockages are released, the immune system receives an energy boost to strengthen it, thereby relieving physical symptoms (E.g. pain, discomfort, allergies or inflammation, etc.).  Gemstone therapy promotes self-healing by influencing all four levels or bodies – emotional, mental, physical and spiritual.

1. On the Emotional body – Your energy vibration is raised, promoting balance and calmness, which helps soothe and disperse negative feelings such as fear, abandonment, anger/rage, rejection or despair.  You regain confidence, self-worth, self-esteem and self-empowerment, which restore over-all happiness and well-being.

2. On the Mental body – Your attitude becomes positive, which promotes clarity and helps you to focus, thus reducing memory loss, confusion, anxiety and obsessive thinking.

3. On the Physical body – Your higher energy vibration strengthens your immune system, thus relieving aches, pains, toxins, allergies, etc., further eliminating disease or chronic illness.

4. On the Spiritual body – Your release for "control" and your arising "trust" balances you at the spiritual level.  This allows you to connect your spiritual self or soul with the universal source, thus giving you the ability to discover and understand your immense potential as a powerful healing energy being.
    

Unique Characteristics of Quartz Crystals
Quartz crystals have many unique characteristics.  The energy quartz emits is uniform and constant; therefore it creates a harmonious balance between the human physical and spiritual bodies.  Clear quartz crystal is an all-purpose healing stone possessing pure energy healing properties.

Examples:

1. They can focus and transfer energy over distances (similar to a transmitter)

2. They can maintain energy (can be programmed for specific functions)

3. They can maintain the intensity of energy (like power generators)

4. They can receive energy over distance (similar to a receiver)

5. They are natural conductors of electromagnetic energy

6. The energy that is transformed and released can be stimulated by:

1. Body heat

2. Direct sunlight

3. Metals

4. Mind thought

5. Other crystals
    

Do You Need to Believe?
It is not necessary for you to believe or to fully understand how gemstones heal, but there must be a change in your consciousness for healing to occur.  In order for it to be more effective, it helps to remain open minded, be an active participant and willingly take responsibility in altering negative life patterns or issues in order to create your own healing and your own reality.

What Happens During a Gemstone Treatment?
Gemstone treatment is applied while lying fully clothed in a relaxed state of mind.   A full healing session may vary from 20 to 45-minutes.   In this case, a longer treatment session is not more beneficial or recommended, because the body can become over-stimulated by the energy vibration of the gemstones.

Crystals or gemstones can be chosen either by the practitioner (known as passive participation) or by the client (known as active participation) or it can be a combination of both.

The size of the stone is immaterial to its effectiveness – larger is not necessarily better.   Many practitioners choose a healing stone according to its colour and then match it to the associated chakra.   Others choose the stone based on intuition or they may use a combination of both techniques.

1. The practitioner first scans the body, either by hand technique or by using a pendulum, to check for energy fluctuations

2. Applicable stones, chosen by the practitioner or by the client, are placed in strategic positions along or around the body or some may be held by the client. They may also be placed in a specific grid or pattern, but it’s not always necessary.

3. The client is encouraged to fully relax with eyes closed.

4. Depending on the specific treatment, they may be left to relax quietly with the stones as the practitioner focuses on the energy of the stones and the client’s aura, while monitoring their breathing and heart rate pattern.

5. Or the practitioner may take the client into a guided visualization journey, while conversing throughout the treatment.

6. During treatment, stones may be removed by the practitioner or they may bounce off by themselves once they have completed their job.

7. At the end of the session, the practitioner will re-scan the body to check for energy balance before sweeping and smoothing the client’s aura.

8. The practitioner then encases the client in a healing bubble of colour for added energy protection.

9. At the end of a session the client will feel very relaxed, sometimes times emotional or may also feel a bit "spaced out" or light-headed.  A glass of water is offered to help ground them, as well as help circulate the body’s energy flow.

Gemstone healing is gentle and quite subtle. Often its healing effects go unnoticed until the client suddenly realizes that their condition has improved or disappeared. The number of treatments applied may vary depending on the client’s condition and frame of mind.  Crystal and gemstone therapy can be successfully implemented with other types of therapies to enhance the healing process or it can be used just as an effective stand-alone treatment.
