Crystal Therapy 

New updated edition.

Crystal therapy is a complementary practice that uses the energy of crystals, precious and semi-precious stones, to combat ailments of the body and mind.

There are many properties of stones, each one deserves a separate study and, if we intend to approach crystal therapy, we must know these properties, so as to choose the most suitable stone according to our needs.

Crystal therapy is based on the analysis of the chakras and provides for their treatment through the stones.

If one or more of our chakras don’t ‘work’ properly, we are affected physically and spiritually; the stones, thanks to their energies, restore balance.

From yoga philosophy crystal therapy has assimilated the concept of ‘chakra’ which are the seven areas of our body where energy is concentrated. Stones, like plants and animals, are part of nature and would therefore be able to emit energy and vibrations and being matter in a state of perfect balance, they would be capable of transmitting positive influences. However, it must always be kept in mind that the ‘stones’ have no healing power of their own, so they cannot replace the work of the doctor or any drugs but, according to an oriental concept, applied to the various chakras, can only act by vibratory affinity. In crystallotherapy those areas of the human body where there are the main correspondences of the energy or reflex centers are used as therapeutic principles of application, which are also found in the study of the meridians of Acupuncture, Yoga and Ayurveda, and which are not contradiction with current scientific research.

The main thing to be able to implement crystal therapy, of course, is to have a certain basic quantity of crystals, gems, stones.
