The traditional crystal healing massage originated in India during the Buddha's lifetime, over 2500 years ago. As Buddhism spread from India, so did this form of healing massage.

Massaging with crystals combines the relaxing benefits of massage with the healing vibrations of crystals and can give an experience that relaxes and balances the whole body. Crystal massage can be performed on yourself or on another person or animal.

The Crystal Balance method

The Crystal Balance method originated from the use of massage and crystals in health and well-being. It combines the benefits of various massage techniques with the versatile effects of crystals, scents and sound.

The massages of the Crystal Balance concept have an activating as well as relaxing effect and increase body awareness. Each of the different sections of the total body massage can be used separately in individual treatments, such as for the back, hands, face or feet. Crystal Balance can also be combined with classic applications, such as foot care using the foot massage.

There are a variety of crystals that can be used; here are two of them:

Calcite (clear crystal)

Clear crystal is said to be good for speeding up development on both a physical and spiritual level. A massage wand is a simple way to bring calcite into contact with the body, transmitting this power directly. Like many other polished crystals, calcite has a wonderfully smooth texture that makes it soothing on the skin and easy to manipulate.

This brings you a wonderful tool for massage and meditation that releases the pure energy of calcite.

Rose quartz

Rose Quartz is good for working muscle and tissue areas, whilst the tip is very suitable for working with pressure points or knots.

Rose quartz has healing properties and helps to install calmness, acceptance and release whilst healing the emotional centres especially for women.
