Gemstone Therapy
The use of therapeutic gemstones and crystals has its roots in such diverse cultures and systems as Ayurveda, Chinese medicine and Native American shamanism. Gemstones and human beings both resonate with vibrational energy. Through a phenomenon called ‘sympathetic resonance’ gemstones can help the body’s energy to resound at a more harmonious rate. Gemstones have been forming and morphing since the birth of our planet and in that time they have literally recorded in their very structure the evolution of the Earth. It is a powerful energy to tap into.
Through gemstone therapy, clients gain a new perspective on the entire human organism and the nature of illness. In gemstone therapy sessions, a practitioner places gemstones on different parts of the body, often corresponding to major energy centers, or chakras. Other methods include the placement of crystals around the body in an attempt to construct an "energy grid" which is purported to surround the client with healing energy. Gemstone therapy facilitates the general flow of energy through the body and can also be used in achieving specific therapy goals. Gemstones are often used in collaboration with other energy therapies.
