Crystal Healing has its roots in ancient history. Earlier civilizations such as the Aztecs, Myans, Ancient Egyptians and North American Indians had a strong awareness of the metaphysical properties of crystals. Even today, Royalty still use gem stones as symbols of power and authority.

Today, modern Crystal Healing is remembering the teachings from the past and integrating this with our more scientific knowledge of crystals. What is being reborn today, is a highly effective, complementary healing system, combining crystals and higher Vibrational energy to heal imbalances within the physical body and in the human energy field.

Crystals are one of the highest expressions of physical matter. They hold their form for millions of years, retaining a vibration or 'note' of perfection. This perfect 'note' can be used by healers to send healing energy to their patient's. The patient's energy field may be sending out a discordant 'note', but there will also be an aspect of it that still resonates with, or remembers its original healthy 'note'. During the healing process, the two notes merge and the patient's energy field falls back into harmony again.

During a healing session, the healer will attune themselves to receive higher Vibrational healing energies through all levels of their being. It is rather like turning on the electricity to light up a bulb! At this point, the healers consciousness expands and depending on the development of the healer, becomes able to assess the condition of their patient's energy field. The healer can be in the same room, or work distantly.

Once the client's energy field has been assessed, the healer will then select the appropriate crystals, prepare them to receive the higher Vibrational energy and then place them on or around the client's fully clothed body. The healer will then channel healing energy through the crystals into the patient. The client can receive a healing either sitting or lying down.
