All things in the Universe vibrate with energy: stars, planets, oceans, mountains, people. All natural things vibrate to their own rhythms, just as every molecule in the universe vibrates with its own energy signature. Every cell in your body is vibrating, even now. And so it is of rocks and crystals.
It's easy to see how living things are filled with energy--not so easy to understand that "inanimate" objects are indeed vibrating with energy. The coffee in your cup. The cup. Even the table holding the cup has energy. Look at your own hand. The blood is coursing through your veins, and each droplet, could you examine it under a high enough magnification, would be vibrating to a recognizable rhythm.
The Ancients believed that, not only are there physical energies in the body, but that there are various spiritual energies as well. The concept underlying Crystal Healing is that the invisible spiritual energies of the body, (the Kundalini or the Chi, etc.) can be realigned through the natural vibrations of various crystals. Although science has been unable to detect these invisible spiritual energies or any interactions with them, the idea that the body has spiritual energy is very ancient, and is, indeed, the very underpinning of the very modern practices of Acupuncture, Reiki, Crystal Healing and some forms of Yoga.
While we cannot provide scientific evidence of the efficacy of any Crystal Healing treatment, it should be noted that meditation and self-hypnosis, which factor heavily in the practice of Crystal Healing, are endorsed and encouraged by many physicians and hospitals as beneficial accompaniments to the treatment of illnesses and behaviors such as cancer, smoking and over-eating. Indeed, there is evidence that sufficient belief in a course of treatment is often enough to effect relief. This is known as the Placebo Effect, and appears to be very powerful, since it involves the mind's natural ability to aid in the healing process of the body.
Officially and legally, however, Crystal Healing must remain, for the time being, in the realm of "entertainment," and we must issue you this advisory:
The information contained herein is for entertainment purposes only. Never use Crystal Healing or any non-traditional healing method discussed herein in lieu of obtaining professional medical or psychiatric help. If you believe you have a condition that requires medical or psychiatric treatment, please seek such professional treatment immediately.
Having dispensed with the formalities, and in the spirit of Crystal Healing and
Chakra Balancing as a form of "entertainment", please suspend disbelief for a little while as we "entertain" you with the secret practices of this most intriguing art...
