For thousands of years, gemstones have been used for their therapeutic effects. Today, the interest in alternative medicine is more popular then ever. Gemstones continue to be used in the following holistic practices:
- Reiki Massage: Reiki is a form of therapy that uses simple hands-on, no-touch, and visualization techniques, with the goal of improving the flow of life energy in a person. Reiki (pronounced ray-key) means "universal life energy" in Japanese, and Reiki practitioners are trained to detect and alleviate problems of energy flow on the physical, emotional, and spiritual level. Reiki touch therapy is used in much the same way to achieve similar effects that traditional massage therapy is used—to relieve stress and pain, and to improve the symptoms of various health conditions.
- Gemstone Therapy/Crystal Healing: This is the application of gemstones or crystals to facilitate healing and balance. Rocks and gemstones house spiritual and healing properties that can be tapped into a variety of ways. The crystals can be carried or worn, or placed in a location where the healing vibrations can be felt.
- Chakra Therapy: Chakras are energy centers in the human body; each corresponds to different glands and governs specific parts of the physical body and areas of the psyche. When our chakras are balanced, maximum vitality and health is experienced. Physical or emotional trauma will affect the corresponding chakra.
- Meditation/Yoga
