Kim Alexis, crystal healer, psychic spiritual medium, hypnotherapist & past life regressionist, reveals why she uses crystals in her hand & foot treatments…
When a therapist massages the feet or hands, it feels so good because the physical sensation stimulated by touch sends messages from the skin’s nerve cells to the brain. The brain then releases endorphins, which are feel-good chemicals. This sparks the body to relax and healing can begin. There is however, more that can be stimulated; for example, aromatherapy can also be used, as the powerful essential oils also trigger the brain into feel-good activity and healing.
For therapists wanting to take this to an even deeper level, the body houses energy centres, known as chakras, and these energy centres vibrate at a certain frequency when we are at optimum health. However, if we become stressed or ill they can move out of balance and become depleted.
Chakras are like whirling round disks, which energy flows through, of which, there are seven in varying colours located from the base of the spine to the crown of the head.
We also have smaller chakra centres in the palms of our hands and soles of our feet.
Within the crystal healing world, we use the term ‘wands’ for natural crystals, which have been carved into long shapes (usually with a point one end), for sending healing energy to a specific part of the body. The crystal will also have a smooth large rounded base at the other end, which can be used to introduce healing energies into the body via massage of the hands and feet. Crystals contain energy vibrations that complement the chakras and heal the body, which makes them so beneficial to us.
Rose Quartz, for example, a delicate pink crystal, assists in soothing and smoothing wrinkles on the face and hands, in fact you can purchase ‘crystal facial rollers, for this purpose.
Rose Quartz also aids emotional recovery. The Apache Tear crystal purifies the blood, stimulates nail growth and is beneficial for balancing emotions. Malachite contains copper, which is good for healing joints, aches and pains. Aventurine assists with inflammation as well as healing of emotional issues and Chrysoprase is used for general healing, regeneration, peace and balance.
Wearing a crystal ring that touches the skin or a crystal bracelet will allow for their energies to be absorbed into the body and aura (the energy field that surrounds the body). An anklet of crystals also helps to heal tired feet by emitting a soothing sensation. Highly sensitive people may feel actual vibrations of the crystals working.
Healing with crystals has been traced back to the ancient Egyptians who used crystals in their jewellery such as Lapis Lazuli (truth & ambition), Turquoise, Clear Quartz, Carnelian (energising & stimulating) and Emerald (love, abundance, prosperity & fertility). And they definitely knew a thing or two about longevity and taking care of themselves.
