Crystal Healing

Crystal Healing

Pranic Life is all about life force within us, nature around us and the balance and harmony between the two. Nature has given us plenty of gifts that help us heal our physical, psychological and spiritual dilemma and give us the much needed vitality. It is indeed our bountiful and beautiful nature that has been the elixir of our life.

Crystals and gemstones, oils, essences and salts are parts of this unique collection, each having a great impact on our body, mind and spirit. With the increase in awareness and understanding the benefits of these natural substances, alternative healing therapies have now become very common.

Crystal Healing therapy involves placing gemstones on the body to draw out negative energy. Crystals act as conduits for healing — allowing positive, healing energy to flow into the body as negative, disease-causing energy flows out.

Crystal Healing is a very ancient practice dating back to the time of ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia in Egypt. However, the philosophy of modern crystal healing is based on traditional concepts borrowed from Asian cultures, most notably the Chinese concept of life-energy (chi or qi) and the Hindu or Buddhist concept of chakras, which are vortices of this life-energy and connect the physical and supernatural elements of the body.

As Jonathan Goldman, a noted sound healer asserts

“crystals are powerful, transformational tools, capable of even turning sound into light. While we may consider crystals to be both inert and lifeless, the reality is they constitute and comprise the very essence of our physical and even energetic composition. Our bodies, like crystals, are composed of silicone and water, and that is why we can so intensely feel the vibration of a crystal bowl resonating within us. If we believe that crystals are as much a part of the web of connection as we are, then we can readily recognize that crystals have the ability to act as intermediaries, enabling us to communicate and connect with higher levels of consciousness and existence.”

What makes crystals so unique is the ability of crystals to absorb and store energy as well as its programmability. Crystals having a slight degree of consciousness can follow instructions and can get programmed to help us in numerous ways including healing, protection, spirituality and prosperity. The power of crystals can further increase using consecration techniques. Crystals affect the human aura and the chakras. These activate the flow of energy in these chakras. The effects of crystals on our system can be different based on their color, quality, size and shape. Amethyst, for example, is believed by some to be beneficial for the intestines; green aventurine helps the heart; yellow topaz provides mental clarity. Colors red through violet are associated with seven chakra points on the body.
