We have seven chakras from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Each of our chakras is affected by our thoughts, experiences and emotions which can be positive or negative. We can all be exposed to stress, or toxic influences which build up to create negative energies and these can disrupt the natural flow of our chakras, stopping energy from flowing freely throughout the body. As well as negative energy from our day to day lives, the chakras can be affected by experiences in our past.
This poor energy flow or blockage usually shows itself as physical, emotional or spiritual disease. But it is possible to reverse this, by chakra clearing and balancing techniques such as crystal healing, reiki and meditation.
The amazing ability of crystals to absorb and remove certain types of energy from your body is often understated. But whilst absorbing negative energy, they can also push energy back into your body, mind or spirit. By balancing chakras or energy points, using a combination of gemstones or crystals on the body, this can draw out negative energies which can have an uplifting and therapeutic effect.

A crystal healing treatment with reiki can help to rebalance you on all levels and is incredibly relaxing and healing. As part of your initial consultation, I would make an assessment of your condition based on your symptoms and how your chakras are atb the time and then choose the stones appropriate to your healing. The 45 minute treatment would include relaxation/meditation, chakra balancing using the crystals, reiki healing and finally a rejuvenating head massage. The customer is fully clothed during the session and will be lying down on a comfortable therapy bed with blankets and maybe a lavender eye pillow to help you relax. Aromatherapy oils are burning and gentle music will be played.
I do believe that holistic treatments such as crystals are a natural and effective detoxifier and destressor and used on a regular basis, can change the way that we deal with situations so we become less stressed.
Once the negative flow is removed, and you are back in harmony with your body, and realise how much more rested and happy you feel, this can make many people rethink how they deal with stress and toxic influences in their life. Think of the treatment as an energetic detox. Negative emotions can be brought to the surface that have stagnated for some time and after their release the healing can continue.
The perfect rebalancing treatment and pick me up that we all need from time to time.
