CRYSTAL HEALING:

There are seven chakras, or energy points in the human body. Each chakra relates to certain organs , and a proper balance of these chakras is essential for having a healthy , productive and happy life. Each chakra has its own colour. In crystal healing, crystals of the required colours are used to enhance the energy level of the chakra.This in turn helps to remove negative influences on the individual. This also helps to remove toxins from the body and enhance health.The human aura is greatly enhanced, and can have a great impact on others in a positive way.

The energy level of the person is checked by a Master, or by Kirlian photography. The affected chakras are identified. This is then confirmed by discussion with the person.The appropriate coloured crystals and gem stones are placed on the body, at the required chakras.The Master or healer then heals by positive intention. Usually the person sees the colour of the chakra during the healing session. In a few sittings the chakras are balanced and one can percieve a positive effect in the aura, or human energy field.This process greatly helps in spiritual progress.
