Crystal Therapy
Crystal therapy is when crystals are placed on or around a fully clothed person to allow deep relaxation, release stress and pain, in addition to promoting energy balance within the physical and subtle bodies. The crystals can be used singly or in patterns and they are placed on either sites of pain, acupuncture points or meridians. They can also be put on subtle energy vortexes which are commonly known as chakras.
The sceptic would question why crystals have any effect on the well-being of our bodies as it is said that there is no such thing as a miracle, just undiscovered laws of physics. Crystals however do have the ability to hold and emit energy vibrations.
When a crystal is put in a watch the battery sends a constant charge through the crystal. The crystal absorbs the charge and then releases it at such a precise rate it is used to make the watch keep perfect time. Under the same principle crystals affect our electro-magnetic energy fields or subtle bodies which surround and permeate the physical body. These include the etheric, emotional and mental bodies, which are collectively called the aura.
