Crystals have a unique place in the world of alternative healing. They are tools can that generate energy or can be used as tools by an energy worker.
Various types of crystals can amplify energy, disperse energy, balance energy, assist in releasing blocks, defend against negativity of all sorts, ground and center, assist with meditative/altered states and much more.

The unique lattice structure of a crystal is what allows them to be excellent conductors of life force energy, and energy in general (think of your watch... more than likely it has a quartz crystal inside). Each type of crystal has a different chemical makeup, and therefore a slightly different structure. This slight variation in crystal structure is the reason that various crystals accomplish a spectrum of metaphysical purposes.

Crystal healing can be performed in a variety of ways, the simplest of which may be just carrying a stone in your pocket while you go about your day.
More elaborate sessions may include someone laying on a massage table or the floor with a practitioner placing stone on or around them, or setting up crystal grids for a multitude of purposes in your home, office, or in nature. Oftentimes, my sessions are a combination of healing modalities. I will lay crystals on the person and focus energy through crystals to rebalance the aura, in addition to doing Reiki or sound healing.
