Crystal Healing Therapy

Crystals can be powerful tools which is why it is essential that those who use them for healing purposes have had adequate training in order to do so in a safe, responsible, knowledgeable and effective manner.

Crystal healers must have a thorough understanding of the Human Energy Field, be able to perceive various systems within this field as well as assess any form of imbalance or blockages within these systems. They must also be able to act as an effective channel for the benefit of their clients, which required in-depth healer training, intuition and self-development.

Competent crystal healers are also highly proficient in using appropriate crystals to help clear blockages or correct imbalances in the Human Energy Field, which calls for in-depth knowledge, understanding and practical experience of the energies of the Mineral Kingdom. Apart from training, study and supervised practice, it takes time to develop and integrate these skills. This is the main reason why crystal healing by correspondence or shorter courses are not recognised by the BCH, CHF and VHF or ARCHTI.
