Healing stones and crystals have become increasingly popular among those who seek a holistic approach to repairing the body and ridding it of disease. New Age clinics and health spas often use crystals in their treatment of clients who suffer from a variety of ailments and physical complaints, often including them in massage therapies.
Healing crystals have been used since ancient times to protect against disease. The technique is seen as a type of vibrational healing that taps into the Earth’s energies to direct healing, positive energy to flow into the body while drawing the negative, disease-causing energy to be released.
There are a variety of ways to tap into this energy flow. Crystals can be worn or placed at points on the body as the patient reclines.
A crystal’s shape, size, and color help determine its usefulness. Each type of stone has its own meaning and use. Citrine and yellow topaz, for example, are seen as seasonal stones that direct the sun’s energy to improve an individual’s energy level.
Practitioners of the crystal healing arts also use stones to help in meditation. They advise novices to keep their minds and hearts open so that they can be led to the crystal that will do the most for them.
