Holistic healing

To be disease-free and to restore mind-body harmony, many holistic healing options are available, says Feng Shui expert and Vaastu practitioner, S B S Surendran

A universal energy flows through all of us. This energy is chi or prana and it flows through every human being. When this energy stream is blocked, it disturbs a person’s harmony and connection with nature. This, in turn, affects a person’s health.

We all have an energy field around us called the aura. When we experience pain which could be either physical or emotional, our energy field is disrupted. Past traumas, emotional hurts, and physical disease have the same effect on the aura. Energy field healing corrects such defects in the energy field.

Feng Shui, a traditional Chinese healing method is another way of restoring harmony within and around us. Our existence is based on five elements present in the environment and in our bodies according to Feng Shui. They are earth, water, fire, wood and metal and all have to be balanced equally for us to experience good health.

In Oriental medicine, there is no such thing as an isolated illness. A mix of physical and psychological factors cause disturbance in the body’s inner elemental harmony. What affects the mind, affects the body and vice versa.

Crystal healing is an effective remedy in such a situation. It helps restore balance in the body by clearing negative energy. Crystals represent the earth element and have the power to radiate the required energy field in and around a person.

You may notice physical and emotional changes as your physical, mental, and emotional self come into alignment. Some of the changes are the result of the release of toxins and negative energies as part of the healing cycle.

One could suspend crystals or wear them as a necklace around your neck or as a bracelet. Your commitment to the crystal is part of the healing process. Let the crystal do the work for you. It is best not to wear more than two stones at one time, especially if you are new to crystal healing.

The time taken for crystal healing depends on the quality of the crystal, its size, colour, energy charge, how you wear it, duration, and the appropriateness of the crystal to your condition. Give it time to work; you will gradually feel the change.
