Introduction
Crystal therapy, also known as crystal healing, is a holistic practice that involves
using crystals and gemstones to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Practitioners believe that crystals possess unique vibrational energies that
can interact with the body’s energy fields, facilitating balance and healing.
> Energy Resonance
Each crystal is thought to emit specific vibrational frequencies. When placed on or near the body, these frequencies are believed to resonate with the body’s energy centers, or chakras, promoting harmony and balance.
>Individualized Application
Different crystals are associated with specific healing properties. For example, amethyst is often linked to stress relief, while rose quartz is associated with love and emotional healing.
> Mind-Body Connection
The practice emphasizes the interplay between mental, emotional, and physical health. By addressing energetic imbalances, crystal therapy aims to support overall well-being.
