Crystal and Stone Therapy

Crystals and Stones in Healing

Evidence of healing with the aid of crystals and semi-precious gems has discovered dating back to the ancient Egyptians. Before that, artifacts made of stone, shell, ivory, gold and crystals have been discovered dating back 60,000 years. Even early man recognized that carrying certain natural elements was beneficial, and the practice of carrying amulets and beads can be found in every culture throughout the world.

We can harness the power of the same earth elements our ancestors did, however today we know much more about the properties of those gems, minerals and crystals, and their effects have been scientifically measured.

It is believed that certain crystals and semi-precious gems have the ability to remove negative energy, increase positive energy, offer protection and have beneficial effect on body systems. Green stones, for example, are good for the heart and certain red stones are associated with blood circulation.

Certain stones can also be useful for blocking electromagnetic frequencies (EMF), solar geomagnetic and Schumann resonance fluxuations which can disrupt normal electrical body balances (black tourmaline and shungite).

Common Properties of Stones

During Crystal and Stone Therapy, these stones may be placed around the room or used as part of a hot stone massage.

It's interesting that there are numerous examples of gemstones meaning similar things to different cultures, even when there was no interaction between these cultures, and no trade between them. Jade was considered to be a kidney healing stone by the ancient Chinese, and also Aztec and Mayan civilizations, turquoise has been worn to give strength and health all over the world, and jaspers have almost always conferred both strength and calm.

Hot Stone Massage

Heat radiating stone massage can provide body relaxation of the highest level.

Hot stone massage can be combined harmoniously with other techniques such as manual massage. Stone massage creates a positive energy flow, especially when it is enhanced by the scent of aromatherapy essential oils. The massage therefore has an increased therapeutic effect: not only relieving stress, but also improving the metabolism, as well as blood and lymph circulation (draining toxins).

Hot stone massage also has a positive impact on cardiovascular, hormonal, digestive and muscular systems. It relaxes tense muscles and reduces cramps.

Stones on the skin work on the particular area and spreads the benefit to other body areas through the nervous system. Because the body's tissues conduct heat, this beneficial warmth also reaches muscles and joints.

The longer the procedure lasts, the deeper is the effect, and therefore we recommend a body and head massage that lasts for about two hours.

Another positive impact of stone therapy is that it helps to promote supple and radiant skin, and the oil used during the massage makes it soft and smooth.

Stone massage has a harmonizing and purifying effect which creates mental and physical balance, especially when performed in meditative silence or combined with healing music.

Combined hot and cold stone massage or only cold stone massage can also be performed using cold marble stones that have great cold conductivity.

Cold stones can be effective on migraine headaches by addressing the vascular component of the migraine. Reducing the overabundant blood flow to the head and brain with cold stones normalizes the blood flow. This reduces or removes the pounding sensation in the head while helping to calm the brain.

Chakra Stones: Our Version of a Happy Ending

There are seven chakras which are the centers of energy of our etheric body. Energy balance brings whole body happiness.

An additional seven semi-precious stones are used at the end of the massage. They are placed on the centres of energy (chakras) along the body. Using the gems of the color corresponding to each chakra it is also possible to treat the organs located in the chakra area.

A red or black stone is placed on the basic center of energy which stimulates the circulation of energy in legs and lesser pelvis, strengthens the skeletal system.
An orange stone is suitable for the sacral center - it releases sexual energy, improves functions of the immune system and organs in the pelvic area.
A yellow stone is placed on the area of solar plexus - it improves mind clarity and has a positive effect on the function of all organs in this area.
A green stone is suitable for the center of heart energy - it embodies love, and balances and heals lungs and heart.
A light-blue stone is suitable for the center of energy in the neck - it improves metabolism and has a positive effect on functions of all organs in the neck area.
An indigo, intensely blue stone is placed in the area of the third eye - on the forehead which connects physical and spiritual worlds.
