Crystal healing involves laying stones on and around the body. The crystals are specifically chosen by a crystal healer for their individual healing properties. Crystals are minerals comprised of elements such as calcium, sodium, potassium, iron and silicon, all of which are needed by the body. A crystal’s makeup and color determine how each crystal can be used to our benefit.

The crystals chosen are carefully placed in precise geometric patterns on the body. A crystal healer uses both intimate knowledge of the crystal, its properties and his or her own intuition as a guide to where each stone should be placed. The crystals remain on the body for about 20–30 minutes, then are removed by the crystal healer.

Everything in the universe vibrates at its own unique frequency. Crystals vibrate at high frequency due to their perfectly organized internal lattice structure. Placing crystals on the physical body allows the energies in the body to undergo a process of entrainment. This means the frequency of the body will begin to mimic the high frequency vibration of the crystal.

Crystals are able to draw in light energy, refract it among their internal lattice structure, and reflect the light back to a receiving source. Therefore, crystals amplify light and direct its energy for the purpose of healing. Quartz crystals are particularly adept at this.

 

Certified crystal healer Rod Pettit will be offering healing sessions on June 2, noon to 5 p.m., at Elysian Fields in Sarasota.
