Chakra Balancing
Chakra Balancing using the Crystal Healing Bed
The power of crystals is legendary: they radiate light and energy to each chakra, as well as the colour corresponding to the respective chakra. The healing power of this combined light, colour and energy is imparted to the body when you lie on the Crystal Healing Bed. This is sometimes called Crystal Bath Therapy.
The Crystal Healing Bed that we use at the Sanctuary comes from the famous Casa Dom Inacio, home and healing centre of the great Brazilian healer, John of God.
Crystal Bed Healing is safe and non-invasive. The person receiving the "Crystal Bed Healing" simply removes their shoes, glasses, jewellery and belts then lies fully clothed, on a massage table below the crystals which are suspended on slender metal arms. These allow each of the seven crystals to be aligned to their corresponding chakra. Once the person is comfortable, a white cloth is placed over their eyes. The lights in the room are then dimmed, soft music is turned on, and finally the pulsating lights shine through the crystals. They shine on and off in pre-programmed rhythms to cleanse, balance and align the chakras, as well as clearing and balancing the aura. This bathes the body with healing energy. All the individual needs to do is to relax, let go, or even fall asleep. The light, colour, crystals, and the healing spirit beings will do the rest.

What are the Chakras?
In addition to the physical components of our bodies, such as nerves and sensory organs, which are treated by western medicine, we also have a subtle system of channels (meridians) and centres of energy (chakras) that exist in our aura and form the basis of eastern medicine.
The seven main chakras are located down the central core of the body through the torso and head. Each is a spinning vortex that feeds the body life-force energy, also known as chi or prana, and releases and disperses spent energy. They make us breathe, cause our heart to beat and energise our thoughts and sensations, bringing our physical body to life.
When we are in ill health, the chakras may be distorted, out of alignment or even stagnant. When this happens, life force energy cannot flow in and out freely and the physical body may suffer. Stress, inability to express emotions, beliefs incongruent with the highest truth, disconnection from a higher power, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, exposure to toxicity, etc can cause the chakra system to close down.
Each chakra resonates with a particular frequency of vibration and can be balanced by inviting it back to its natural state of vibration and frequency.
Colour, crystals, light and sound are commonly used to balance the chakras.
What will I experience?
People feel a great variety of sensations during and after sessions. Some feel pressure, weight, lightness, heaviness, hot, cold, air, tickling, tingling etc. The crystals can evoke feelings of peace and serenity, and typically a very deep relaxation. You may simply fall asleep and wake up feeling very refreshed and renewed. You may experience insights and release of specific personal issues and memories. You may have feelings of warmth, movement, expansion, cleansing, or a feeling of being touched. Some people can actually feel physical healing taking place, as they feel the presence of the Entities working directly on their physical bodies. Your awareness may even extend beyond yourself to higher states of consciousness.
Generally, you can expect to feel a sense of harmony and peace, often lighter and yet also more grounded.
How does the Crystal Bed produce Healing?
The Crystal Bed combines the power of Colour Therapy and Crystal Healing Therapy. This provides an energy stream that positively stimulates the body on many physical and energetic levels of being. This combination of healing energies is further enhanced by the "Healing Entities" of the Casa de Dom Inacio in Brazil where the Crystal Bed came from. These Healing Entities are the Spiritual Beings that work in and around the Casa de Dom Inacio and with all those deeply connected to the Casa family. These are also the entities that work through the Medium Joao Teixeira de Faria, also known as "John of God". The coloured light shining through the crystals is a tool that the Entities use to channel their healing energy into the individual receiving the "Crystal Bed Healing". As the colour is transmitted through the crystal onto the corresponding Chakra, the chakra is cleansed, energized, and brought into balance with all of the other chakras. This allows the other aspects of our self, whether it be mental, emotional or physical to be brought into balance. For when the chakras are out of balance, all the other aspects of ourselves will also be out of balance. Then as these subtle energies are brought into balance, the body's own natural healing mechanisms are able to function as they were designed to do. The "Crystal Bed Healing" cleanses, balances and recharges the body's energy and creates a deep relaxation. It works not only for healing but also prevention. The best way to sense its effects is to try it.
What to expect after Crystal Bed Healing session?
As with all Subtle Energy Healing Therapies, we cannot claim that diseases can be cured. However, amongst recipients of this therapy there are many reports of healings occurring. Healing can occur on many different levels, spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical. The crystal bed also can help open the connection with the Healing Spirit Guides. Many people who have had "Crystal Bed Healing" sessions have reported some of the following:
- feeling more energized
- feeling a deep relaxation
- feeling more at peace with themselves
- feeling less stressed and an increased sense of overall well being
- a deeper spiritual understanding of themselves, and their life situations etc.
- gaining insights into their future life path
- gaining insights of the cause of disease states
- receiving guidance as to how to best deal with their disease or problems
Each and every person who receives Crystal Bed Healing reports a different effect, each experience being relevant and unique to his/her own condition, needs, and level of awareness. Many people who have experienced the crystal bed also feel themselves in an altered state after a session. Many say they feel the sensation of being worked on by spirits, some float back into past lives, and some experience a feeling of great attunement to spirit. Each one is unique.
What do I do after a Crystal Bed Healing?
No matter what the experience, it is advisable for the individual to rest after a Crystal Bed Healing session to fully absorb the experience. It is also advisable to drink several glasses of water over the next several hours to help rid the body of any toxins or waste products which tend to be released through the cleansing action of the crystal healing. It also can be helpful to write down the experiences and guidance which can occur during the healing session, to help integrate and ground the experience into your life.
Duration of Crystal Bed Healing Sessions
Sessions are either 30, 45, or 60 minutes. Sessions can be taken every day if needed, however no more than one hour of treatment can be taken in one day. Initially, sessions are of 30 minutes duration. This allows the individual to become accustomed to the effects of the Crystal Bed Healing. Once they are comfortable with the 30 minute sessions, then the sessions can be extended to 60 minutes.
How often should Crystal Bed Healing be taken?
The number of sessions someone has depends on the individual’s level of health, and their reason for having Crystal Bed Healing sessions. If someone is very ill, then sessions can be as many as two to three per week until their level of health increases, then reducing the frequency to weekly and then to monthly. If an individual is having Crystal Bed Healing sessions for a spiritual reason then one or two sessions weekly are adequate. Still others prefer to come when they feel the need, and others come once a month as a preventative measure or to help them stay "tuned up".
