The use of crystals as vehicles for healing and for use in massage is nothing new. Many cultures and religions have bestowed magical powers and reverence upon crystals and gemstones.

They are seen as healing because they come from the earth and are infused with planetary energy. Each stone  is unique in shape, colour, size and derivation and is believed to carry its own energetic vibration.

According to some teachings, living things are a continuous flow of life force. In the natural course of living, this energy  can become blocked. Blockages cause physical, mental and emotional distress.

Through their unique individual frequencies, gemstones neutralize negativity and open up blockages. Crystal wands are utilized to open the chakras.

Before using crystals they should be cleansed to rid them of any negative energy or vibrations that they may have picked up from anyone who has handled the crystal before. 

There are various ways to remove negative vibrations from crystals and this can be easily done by a Reiki practioner. The inherent healing power of crystals can also be enhanced by being charged with Reiki healing
