Ancient Secrets Revealed

Crystal healing is the use of crystals and the energy centers of the body called chakras.  Crystals are placed on the chakras and the energy from the crystal is thought to have an effect upon the chakra which in turn has an effect on the body.

There are seven major chakras in the body.  They are located in a straight line from the top of the head to the base of the spine.  Each chakra is associated with a color and with a part of the body.  The belief is that energy, which is the core of all existence, runs through the body, guided by the chakras.

If the energy is not flowing correctly or a chakra is not moving correctly then a person feels physical, mental or even spiritual side effects.  Through crystal healing a person can have their energy flow restored and get back to feeling normal.

Besides helping to fix the flow of energy, crystal healing is also used to pull out negative energy which can also cause ill effects on the body.

The practice of crystal healing has been around for centuries.  People of all backgrounds and beliefs have worked with and used crystals to aid in their state of health and well being.

There is no scientific proof that crystal healing works, but there have been reports that it does.  Scientists argue that it is the idea of crystal healing that helps people to feel better – the concept of mind over matter, if you think you feel good then you do – also called the placebo effect.

In crystal healing the crystals can be used in different ways.  They can be laid on the body at each chakra, they can be worn or even just be around the body.  Sometimes healers use crystals that correspond with the chakras’ colors.  Other times they use a crystal that is meant for a specific purpose.

Certain crystals are believed to work for certain reasons.  For example, there may be a crystal that is used for healing physical pain in the stomach or there may be one used for healing emotional heartache.

Practitioners of crystal healing often learn their craft through watching other practitioners.  There really is not formal training as it is not recognized as a medical treatment.

Crystal healing is an alternative medical treatment.  This means that traditional medicine does not recognize it as effective.  This does not mean that it does not work, but just that you can not expect your family doctor to recommend it or practice it for you.  If you are interested in crystal healing then you should seek out someone knowledgeable on the subject for help.
