What is Crystal Therapy?
The principle behind crystal therapy is that each crystal has a specific energy. This energy acts on the body and the mind of a person and can result in a change of mental and physical health. The way in which crystals are used can very quite significantly but the basic idea is that a person comes into close proximity with a crystal on a regular basis. It is important to fully assess the situation to ensure you find the right crystal for your particular condition.
What are the Properties of Calcite?
This is a soft crystal that can be found in a variety of different colours including white, gray, black, green, yellow, blue, brown, or red. It is found literally all over the world and is a large component in chalk and limestone. In addition marble is just re-crystallised calcite. The stone is thought to symbolise enlightenment and mental growth. The stone will release electrical energy when placed under pressure. It is also thought to be a spiritual stone and is closely linked with our higher consciousness and is thought to help with outer body experiences.
Healing Properties of Calcite
