For me, gemstone therapies have energized me, healed illness, helped me break bad habits, healed dog bites, and changed my life. This is true energy medicine.

"All you need to do is tap into the healing power of crystals and your mind will become brighter, your body will become healthier and you will create a happy and rewarding life for you and others around you" Lynn Claridge SNHS (Crystal Healing)

Crystal healing is an alternative healing technique for strengthening the body and resolving issues and patterns using various forms of natural crystals. The theory is that gemstones carry vibrational rates. By placing these vibrational rates within the aura - your aura's vibrational rates also change. Often the effects are indirect, but very potent. Other times, the effects are very direct and repeatable.

The easiest way to do gemstone therapy is to wear high quality round beads around the neck. Intention strengthens the process, but is not necessary. Metal inhibits the process. If metal surrounds the gemstone, its affects are often greatly reduced (and sometimes eliminated.)

There are many fancier gemstone therapy techniques -- some can be found on my Chakra Therapy web page. Details about what each stone does when in rounded form is available under Therapeutic Gemstone Properties. As I say there -- don't take my word for what any stone does -- find out what it does for you. You are the best judge of what works for you.

I always use high quality gemstones. These gemstones are undyed, not irradiated and have very few inclusions and cracks. Beware that there are several "look-alike" glass and fake stones out there. Generally, if the cracks are darker than the bead then the bead is dyed. See Buying Your Own Gemstones for more information

To determine which stone to use, I recommend going to several bead stores and seeing if any stone attracts you. Verify that the stones are not dyed and ask if the stones have been treated. String the beads on silk if possible.

I have been doing Gemstone therapy since 1990. For more details see: Lorraine's Gem Work page. Thank you.
