Chakra healing by Crystals

Reading time: 4 minutes

According to thousands of years of Indian philosophy, humans are much more than a physical body.In addition to physically visible organs and parts of the body, it also has other, invisible organs that are more important than the physical body. Chakras are invisible energy centers located along the spine, from the base of the spine to the top of the head. According to ancient Hindu documents, there are seven main chakras, which are connected by a channel of life force. Vitality is flowing through the chakras controls all the vital functions of the body.

When the chakras are opened, energy flows constantly: you feel balanced, vibrant and happy. When one or more chakras are blocked, the flow of energy stops or changes: you feel stressful, unstable and anxious.

There are several ways to open and activate your chakras. Meditation or yoga can be very helpful for all kind of problems. Using herbs or specific oils can be a solution too.

Today we will learn more about one of the best chakra opening techniques: the Crystal Healing.

Crystal Healing is an alternative medical technique that heals people and balances their energy systems by placing crystals on different points of the body.

It is a natural and holistic therapy which helps the life energy (prana) to flow freely in the energy channel (nadi). The crystals help to unblock and direct the energy where it is most needed, supporting the body to heal in a therapeutic way.

Different types of crystals heal in different areas. All stones have their own energies and properties.

The best idea is to have your first healing session with an expert. Crystal healers have extensive knowledge about several stones: they will know which crystals to use and how to place them – based on the problems or symptoms you have.

You can also try crystal healing at home. There are many different ways to do it, but the most common way is to place the stones on (or around) the body while lying down.

Session

Lie down on a comfortable surface: it can be a bed, sofa or even the floor. Place the chosen stones to the chosen chakras. Leave the crystals there for a while: it can be 20-60 minutes – the longer the better. During this time try to relax: close your eyes, take deep breaths and focus on the crystals: imagine the colours of them and try to feel how they heal you.

When the session is over, give yourself some time. There are some people who feel the change immediately, but for others it takes longer to feel the effects of the treatment.
