The beauty and power of crystals and other stones have long been recognized, from the ancient times and also known for their healing and spiritual properties. Healers, shamans, priests and spiritual seekers have used crystals for their special powers. Crystal Therapy is the ancient art of laying-on-of-stones. Gems, stones and crystals are laid on the body over the chakra points. Each chakra resonates to a particular colour, so by laying a stone of that colour over the chakra, the chakras open, align and blend with one another.
When the chakra system is balanced, the physical body is able to innately self-correct and heal. Crystal healing today continues to find new ways in which minerals can help us restore to balance our stressful lives. One of the kind of Crystal healing therapy is hot Stone Massage. It is a style of massage therapy in which water-treated stones are placed at specific sites on the Patient's body to promote relaxation and to help open up the meridians (energy pathways). Muscles are pre-treated with the heated stones to allow the therapist to more easily perform deep tissue manipulations. Cool stones are sometimes used alternately with hot stones. Massage oils are usually incorporated into the massage treatment.
Small tumbled stones are very useful in crystal healing. For convenience, not too heavy and not too small stones are selected . Flatter stones will stay in place more easily than round ones. The healer is supposed to gather at least two crystal stones of each spectrum colour. Cleansing crystals removes unwanted energy and restores them to their original clarity, so it should be carried out each time when crystals are used for healing. If crystals are not cleansed, they will become less effective and may pass on imbalances or energetic static.
Kinds of Healing Crystals and Stones
There are many thousands of minerals on earth, but only relatively few are used in crystal healing. The colour energy of crystals has enormous potential for healing.
1) Red Crystal Stones- Garnet, Ruby and Jasper-The Colour red stimulates, activates and energizes. It is associated with the first chakra at the base of the spine, which is the centre in the subtle anatomy for action and activity. Ability to use practical skills, movement, motivation, protection, physical survival and the use of life energy are some of its main functions.
2) Pink Crystal Stones- Rose quartz crystals, Rhodonite, Kunzite-Pink, a blend of both red and white, has a gentle and subtle way of pushing things towards a resolution. It is related to the actions of the base Chakra and the heart chakra, and helps to bring emotions and sensitivity into our daily actions.
3) Orange Crystal Stones-Carnelian, Orange calcite, Dark citrine, Topaz- Orange is an equal mix of red and yellow, and this combines energizing and focusing qualities. It is associated with the second chakra, which deals with the flow or lack of flow within the body. Creativity and artistic skills are an expression of this flow.
4) Yellow Crystal Stones- Amber, Tiger's eye, Citrine quartz- Yellow relates to the solar plexus chakra that regulates the functioning of the nervous system, digestive and immune systems and the ability to discriminate and identify things. Stress, fear, happiness a contentment are all linked to this colour.
5) Green Crystal Stones-Green Aventurine, Malachite, Peridot-Green is found in the middle of the spectrum and it is associated with the heart chakra, located at the midpoint of that system. Emotions and relationships are balanced here and the qualities needed for growth and personal space are encouraged.
6) Light Blue Crystal Stones- Turquoise, Blue Lace Agate, Aquamarine The throat chakra, associated with communication, works with this colour. Communication using sight, voice, colour, taste, smell, your thoughts and the ability to express yourself all come under the vibration of light blue.
7) Indigo Crystal Stones- Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite, Kyanite- The brow chakra, the "third eye", is linked to the midnight blue of indigo. Perception, understanding and intuition are qualities of this chakra, together with a deep sense of peace and connection.
Violet Crystal Stones- Amethyst, Fluorite- Violet and purple are linked to the crown chakra located above the top of the head. Inspiration, imagination empathy and the sense of service to others are the energies of this centre.
As per popular theory, the crystals actually vibrate at the same pitch as people, and can be used to relieve suffering because the resonance between the patient and the stone either combats the vibration of illness or amplifies those of health. With the recent swing toward holistic and alternative medicine, many people are turning to crystals not only to help cure their ailments, but significantly, to maintain optimum health.
