Crystal therapy - the power of minerals for harmony of body and soul!
What is crystal therapy?
Crystal therapy is a traditional method of working with natural minerals and gemstones, based on the belief that each stone has its own unique energetic vibration. This can help induce psychological well-being, promote relaxation, concentration, or inner harmony.
The roots of crystal therapy go back thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Indians and the ancient Chinese used gemstones as talismans, protective amulets or in spiritual ceremonies. Even in the Middle Ages, it was believed that certain minerals brought good luck, courage or protection.
Today's crystal therapy is most often part of relaxation and meditation techniques, wellness, or personal development.
