The many specific crystal treatments all have one general experience in common; relaxation. Crystals can take you to a deeply relaxing place where healing can occur and wonderful experiences happen. This treatment can bring relief from a wide range of conditions. A lovely treatment to mix with Angelic Reiki.

What is Crystal and Gem Therapy used for?

Stones and minerals have been used for healing for thousands of years and there are even pictures painted on the walls of the pyramids in Egypt showing crystal healing.

Crystals have long been associated with healing and purification and gemstones have been used for ceremonies and worship and as a sign of wealth. Various gems are associated with different healing properties and with different energy frequencies.

Gemstone therapy promotes self-healing by influencing all four energy levels of our bodies; emotional, mental, physical and spiritual.

Natural gemstones and quartz crystals are used to gently correct, align or release imbalanced or blocked energy within the body.

Gemstone therapy is sometimes associated with colour therapy (related to how colours vibrate at different energy levels) and at other times with the Chakras and the energy associated with each Chakra. Some stones are said to relieve psychological distress (such as anxiety or stress) or enhance psychological wellness (i.e. grounding, energy) while other stones are believed to have an impact on physical conditions or organs in the body. Some stones are said to release energy blockages, thereby freeing the immune system to be stronger and relieving physical symptoms such as pain, discomfort, allergies or inflammation.

What happens in a Crystal and Gem Therapy treatment?

A medical history and lifestyle questionnaire is filled out to ensure treatment is safe for the client. The client then lies on a therapy couch (fully dressed) and asked to relax while treatment takes place. Stones may be placed on or around the client or even used in the space above the client depending on the crystal grid or treatment being used.

It is also possible to receive a 'distant healing' with the permission of the person the healing is intended for. This involves some interaction with the person receiving the treatment, usually via a telephone consultation.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

The number of treatments depends on the client and the condition and will be discussed in the initial consultation process. It is recommended that there are four weeks between treatments to allow the body to absorb the effects of the treatment and re-balance the body.
