In China it is called Chi and in India it is called Prana. In this method of thinking, it is simply called Life Force. Crystal healing encourages the body to heal itself by improving the flow of the life energy through the meridians, charkas, and energy points. This is accomplished by applying the crystals or stones at energy centers and then applying pressure with the hands, directing energy through additional crystals such as quartz or selenite, or through the mind alone. Crystals additionally can be put around the body to aid the Life Force flow through and around the body.
Crystal healing is a physical, emotional, and mental process.
Ceremony is also very helpful during crystal healings, such as writing down one's problems on a piece of paper, giving the piece of paper to the healer, and burning the paper after the healing. This allows the body to realize that the problem has been relieved by the crystal healing and allows the mind to understand by the burning of the paper. Scientists have known for years that emotions can play a huge part in illness. Stress in itself can cause heart attacks, miscarriages, high blood pressure, hair loss, nervous, weight loss, etc. By eliminating the root problem that caused the stress, healing can occur.
