At its core, crystal healing is a form of mysticism, witchcraft, and occult practices. Most crystal healing is guided to the healer by Spirit - who will tell the healer which crystals will be most effective and the patterns the crystals should be placed on or around the person's body. The length of time used with the crystals will vary with each patient and healer.

Crystal healing is concerned with the use of appropriate crystals on certain body parts and chakras so as to rebalance the body's energy level and improve the well-being. Crystal healing is therefore quite useful for an energy healing practitioner.

A simple crystal healing is to place crystals of the appropriate color and energy at corresponding chakra points. This will cleanse and energize the chakras. Besides the Crystal Light Box the other method used in colour crystal healing is with the use of polished gemstones.

The second step in crystal healing is the process of harmonizing and integrating the changes into your whole being. You may notice physical and emotional changes in either of the first or second steps as your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies come into alignment.

Just like any other alternative therapy, crystal healing is said to have positive effects only on people who have strong faith or confidence in the basic principles or concepts of crystal healing. Crystal healing is thus not a medical therapy, which means that the therapy does not actually function on the basis of any stringent medical practices and scientific laws.

When your gemstones and crystals are not being used for healing purposes they should be placed in a secure location away from curious hands. You don't want the time and energy you placed in the cleansing and charging of them to be neutralized by the energy of other people.
