Crystals

What are they?

Crystals are minerals formed underground from three-dimensional repeating patterns of atoms. A crystal's appearance depends upon the natural characteristic of its type and the condition in which it grows. The repeating chemical structure of crystals is said to invest them with a kind of memory, this means that crystals have the power to hold energies. You may hold a quartz crystal with the intention of filling it with your love. This is what is meant by programming a crystal; all you need is intention and focus. The crystal will remember your love, which will permeate any environment in which the crystal is placed. Crystals can however remember negative energy and so will need to be cleansed.

Healing Stones

What they do...

Different stones have different energetic properties. For example, a Tigers Eye can aid those seeking clarity. Rose quartz is calming and referred to as the stone of gentle love. You do not need to know the exact properties of every crystal; it is important to be receptive and allow yourself to be drawn to a stone that will have meaning for you.


 

Tumblestones are small crystals that have been tumbled over each other many times with increasingly finer abrasive until the sides become smooth and shiny. As crystals are powerful channels of energy, they are often used during Reiki treatments at New Beginnings. Crystals used during healing are chosen for their specific healing quality and are also available to buy. Many people like to carry a crystal tumblestone around to keep the energy of the stone with them. 

Crystal-Healing-Practice

What is crystal healing....

Crystal healing is an holistic, non-invasive, vibrational energy-based system of healing. Namely, treating the whole person and their integrated energy system. It is restorative and relaxing. Crystals are arranged on and/or around the physical body; the crystals absorb, detoxify, shift and diffuse energy as they connect with the electromagnetic forces and subtle vibrations within the subtle human or environmental energy field. In the context of crystal healing, illness can represent the final manifestation of spiritual, environmental, physiological, psychological, emotional, karmic, or ancestral imbalance. Healing simply means restoring the mind, body, spirit and environment back into harmony, restoring the body's natural rhythm and equilibrium. It is important to point out that this does not denote a cure.

​

Anyone can benefit as long as they keep an open mind; cynicism can be the biggest barrier to healing!

​

Benefits can include:

  • Deep relaxation that can help with stress, anxiety and depression.

  • Pain relief by reducing muscle tension.

  • Help with chronic fatigue and sleep issues.

  • Help to stabilise moods and increase self-esteem.

  • Emotional Release

  • Enhance focus and clarity.

  • Transform unwanted behaviours, thought patterns and addictions.

  • Acceptance and harmony with aspects of life leading to a more peaceful and centred life. 

​

The method of crystal healing is similar to receiving Reiki. You remain clothed, lie on a massage bed or sit in a chair; relaxing music is played and essential oils are diffused around the room. Specifically chosen crystals are placed on and/or around the body. The whole person is treated and sessions take about an hour. Deep relaxation is experienced promoting a calm peaceful sense of well being. Some people may experience an emotional response indicating that shifts are taking place allowing harmony to be restored. This is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about; aftercare advice will be given following treatments. Crystal Therapists are not trained to diagnose and seeking medical treatment is always advised if concerned about physical symptoms. A single treatment may be sufficient but if there are long standing issues then a series of treatments will be beneficial. In general, if you find that helpful changes are taking place, it is a good idea to continue regular treatments.
