What is Crystal Healing or Crystal Therapy?
Crystal therapy is a very old healing method where the client has crystals placed on their body, alongside the placement of power crystals in the room. Assortments of crystals or chakra stones are positioned on or around a fully clothed person. This helps to release stress and pain, and in turn promotes a deep relaxation. Crystals may be used individually or as part of grids or sacred patterns. They are positioned on sites of pain or energy vortexes called chakras.
Crystal therapy addresses the client’s needs in a holistic manner, giving as much consideration to spiritual and emotional well-being as to their physical health. It is a very relaxing, natural and enjoyable process, carried out in a non-invasive way. Whether or not you believe in the physical healing properties of crystals, simply holding a crystal or wearing one as jewellery can be deeply calming and centring. Some therapists also use crystal wands to focus and direct healing energy through the aura or toward specific chakras or issues.
Scientifically speaking, there is no conclusive evidence that crystal healing works on a medical level. Yet crystals have been used for thousands of years, enjoyed not only for their beauty but for their energetic qualities. Many people believe in the transformative power of crystals to influence mood, support health, promote spiritual development and enhance relationships.
You will find many kinds of crystals available to support your personal journey, including high-vibration pieces, crystal angels, Buddhas, carvings, pendulums, crystal skulls, spheres, wands, shamanic tools, master quartz crystals and tumbled stones.
Crystal therapy is a gentle form of alternative healing that works holistically to balance the mind, body and spirit, helping to cultivate a deep sense of calm and clarity. It is particularly effective for defusing stagnant or negative energy, easing anxiety and lifting low mood or depressive states.
I have been a registered practitioner of the Affiliation of Crystal Healing Organisations. This body was formed in 1988 to promote training and competence in crystal healing therapy, and to act as a nationally recognised representative body for crystal healing in the UK.

A Student’s Reflection: How Does Crystal Healing Work?
As part of my course, candidates are asked to give an overview of how crystal healing works. Here is one thoughtful summary:
“Having looked at several books by various authors, they often agreed on common themes but each brought a unique lens. Judy Hall wrote of crystal healing’s shamanic roots and its holistic focus on the electromagnetic field. Jennie Harding emphasised energy, colour, and ritual. Robert Simmons explored the atomic structure of crystals and their energetic links. The Lillys spoke of cosmic patterns and sacred numbers. Melody blended shamanic wisdom with new age resonance.
They all see healing as multi-layered and personal. The effectiveness of crystals depends on resonance, intention and the relationship between practitioner, crystal, and client.
I’ve found crystal healing is less about knowing what each stone does and more about building relationship with the crystal, feeling how it works with a person’s energy field, and sensing what is needed at that moment. Books give a starting point, but intuition and connection deepen the practice.
Crystal healing touches emotional, mental, physical, spiritual and even karmic levels. It works like tuning a musical instrument — restoring the subtle frequencies that have fallen out of harmony.”
A Deeper Understanding: Crystals, Energy, and Human Fields
A crystal is made of atoms arranged in specific patterns that create its unique structure and resonance. Everything, including the human body, is made of atoms — even the fluids and tissues of our bodies. Bio-physicists suggest humans are, in essence, liquid crystals.
Under pressure or stress, these biological fields can distort or become ‘noisy’, emitting irregular pulses. This is where crystals can assist. Because of their precise, stable frequencies, crystals can influence the biofield by acting like tuning forks — helping to re-align and stabilise areas of distortion.
Crystals also interact through sacred geometry and resonant fields. When laid on or around the body in specific layouts, or as part of a Pillar of Light arrangement, they communicate with each other and the person’s field — adjusting energies and allowing the individual to drop into deeper healing states.
Crystal Healing and Ancient Memory
Crystal therapy is far more than lying on a couch with a few stones — it is a return to an ancient remembering. Many ancient civilisations — including the Egyptians, Lemurians, Mayans, Greeks, and Chinese — used stones, colour, sound and ritual to facilitate shifts in consciousness. These healing forms helped the mind move out of the everyday and into altered states of awareness.
Ritual and repetition play a key part. Just as a bedtime routine helps the body prepare for sleep, crystal therapy creates a pattern that helps the client prepare for healing. Lighting a candle, placing the stones, setting the intention — all help the mind relax its guard and allow deeper awareness to emerge.
Healing and Responsibility
Crystal healing can be a powerful and transformative experience, but it is not a substitute for professional medical care. Always seek appropriate medical advice or treatment for any health concerns, and consider crystal work as a complementary practice rather than a replacement.
Ultimately, no matter how powerful the crystal or skilled the therapist, true healing must be embraced by the individual. The therapist may create the space, offer the energy, and hold the intention — but it is the client who must choose to open, release, and allow the shift to unfold.
In a world filled with constant stimulation and noise, crystal therapy offers something rare: a pause.
A return to stillness. Whether through colour, form, light, or symbol, it offers the soul a space in which to breathe and remember itself.
Crystal therapy is not about being “fixed” by a stone. It is about reconnecting with what has always been within — a deeper rhythm, a higher frequency, a timeless light. Sometimes, the crystal is simply the key that helps you unlock the door to your own healing path.
N.B. Crystals are to be used as a complimentary healing therapy are not a replacement for medical advice from your GP on physical or mental health matters.
