Crystal Therapy is the belief that certain crystals and other charmstones have healing, mystical and/or paranormal powers. Each crystal and gemstone has its own vibration.  The energy that they transmit could have powerful effects on the different energy vibrations in a human being and could therefore be used for balancing, harmonising and attuning body, mind and spirit.  Through this balancing and attuning, they help us to heal ourselves.  Every crystal has a energy field, by using these crystals in grids (crystals placed around the animal or person) or in crystal essences (crystals infused with water) we can help align our own energy fields. Think of the Quartz Crystal, Quartz is used in watches as well as industrial machines to run them.

Crystal healers claim that every living organism has a "vibrational energy system," which includes chakras, electromagnetic fields around your body known as an aura, subtle bodies and meridians. By using the appropriate crystals one can allegedly "tune" an energy system or rebalance energies, thus improving well-being due to the vibrations produced by the crystals, according to color, chemical composition, atomic structure and overall physical form. Using the vibrations of the crystals a trained practitioner can allegedly move, absorb, focus, direct and diffuse energy within the body, using the perfect structure of the crystal for the body to emulate. Crystal healing also allegedly gives the body a chance to relax, which may aid in the body’s natural abilities of the immune system.


Denver, CO, June 25, 2005: Dogma Inc of Denver, CO has released a new line of Crystal Amulets for pet collars. These Divine Dogma Charms are available at Colorado Petfitters’ downtown location at 1590 Little Raven Street. This is just a little something extra people can do for the health of their pets and they look good too!” says Lisa Speaker of Dogma. Speaker adds that “The healing power of crystals is based on ancient wisdom but has developed into current mainstream forms such as copper bracelets. Many golfers wear copper bracelets because they believe the copper is helpful for joints and inflammation. Malachite, which is a crystal rich in copper, has been worn as an amulet for centuries for the same reason.” Dogma has developed thirteen different combinations that Speaker feels addresses all of the common canine concerns such as skin allergies, anxiety, detoxifying, emotional stress, arthritis, asthma and digestion. Speaker makes it clear that these are not to be used in place of regular veterinary care. To learn more or to purchase over the internet go to www.denverdogma.com

Ancient healing Crystals have been used for centuries. Archaeologists have discovered in graves and barrows excavated in Europe, the Middle East, Russia, and Africa beads, carvings, and jewelry of amber, jet, turquoise, lapis, garnet, carnelian, quartz, and other stones. It is believed that the carvings were probably amulets and talismans, used for protection and as reminders of religious rites.

Ancient Egypt
Crystal was widely used in this civilization. A hieroglyphic papyrus from the year 2000 B.C. documents a medical cure using a crystal, and several from the year 1500 B.C. have additional prescriptions.
The pharaohs often had their headdresses lined with malachite in the belief that it helped them to rule wisely. In powder form this stone was used for poor eyesight and inner vision.

Native American
Mayan Indians used quartz crystals for both the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Some Mexican Indian tribes believed that the souls of those who led good lives would go into crystals.
Turquoise was believed to be a stone which bridged heaven and earth (a belief also held in Tibet). In one legend it is stated that if one went to the end of the rainbow and dug in the earth he would find a turquoise.

India
The culture of ancient India is a rich source of information about crystals. The system of chakras (energy centers), which helps us to place crystals on the body for healing and meditation originated there. Astrological documents written as early as 400 B.C. contain detailed observations about the power of various stones to counteract the negative effects of planetary positions.
Stones were regarded as having great spiritual and emotional powers. Moonstone, for instance, was a sacred stone, and believed to arouse love. Onyx, in contrast, was believed to help release the ties of old loves.
