The crystal healer sits for a healing session equipped with the clichéd “crystal clear” stones in front of her. There can be a crystal quartz in white or a rose quartz in soft baby pink, an amethyst in royal purple among other stones. Most importantly, she may carry a quartz pendulum with a conical piece of smooth stone that tapers to a point and hangs from a silver chain.
The healer moves the pendulum over different parts of the body of the patient, who might be in a comfortable lying down position. The healer’s fingers that hold the chain with the pendulum at the other end will be steady and the hand does not shake. When the pendulum is placed above each chakra or centre of energy, it moves in different directions. It may move clockwise, anti-clockwise, up and down in a straight vertical line or left and right in a horizontal line, in a confused anti-clockwise or clockwise motion or diagonally from left or right. The healer will make notes of these movements to understand what actually ails the person, before beginning a healing session with the help of the crystal.
For a person who is new to this, the practice of scanning the health by dowsing can appear really strange. Crystal healing is an esoteric science that is practiced by people who need to be very careful as they are handling a very subtle force called energy. The human body, just like all other creations, has a bio-magnetic field that interweaves through and around a personal space of about one foot as if there is a huge egg around it. This field of energy is called the aura. As much as the aura is dynamic and healthy, the person is healthy.
When sickness falls, it first strikes the aura and slowly penetrates the physical body too.When the crystal pendulum is placed over the body, it responds to the particles of energy that are emitted in the form of vibrations, and moves around in that direction or flow of that energy, to let the healer know where exactly the problem is. Once this is known, healing is simple with the use of crystal pencils or wands to remove that portion of the mental thoughts that cause a negative flow of energy and create positive thoughts by the process of cleansing and energising motions with the crystal wand.
