History of crystal healing: The use of crystals dates all the way back to ancient Egyptian times. Though they often used the precious stones for jewellery and cosmetics, they also used them for protection and health purposes, such as the use of topaz for purging evil spirits.The word 'crystal' comes from the Greek word for ice, due to the belief that clear quartz was water so deeply frozen it would remain forever solid.
Safety Warning
What happens in crystal therapy?If you have never tried any form of alternative or complementary therapy before, the idea of going to a crystal therapy session can seem a little daunting. Crystal therapy couldn't be further removed from the 10 minute GP appointment you might be used to. So what exactly happens in crystal therapy?Instead of attempting to diagnose any physical issues you may be suffering from, a crystal therapist will first assess the condition of your aura before selecting a number of crystals designed to restore its equilibrium.An aura is an invisible emanation thought to surround each person's body. Our auras supposedly relate to our emotional, mental and spiritual make up, meaning that when we are healthy, the energy flowing through our bodies is clear and balanced. If something in our lives happens to unbalance this - such as a physical ailment, or a mental issue - then this results in a blockage that could ultimately manifest as a physical illness.
