The basic concept behind using healing stones is to clear the energy field and hold a positive energetic vibration so that healing can occur. When the vibrations of the body held in a healthy state, then it is more difficult to fall into a state of dis-ease. Stones and crystals have been used for healing for thousands of years throughout history.
Crystals and gemstones resonate at specific vibrational frequencies. When we put these pure frequencies in the electromagnetic field of the body, our own frequencies can align with them and help hold us in a state of health.
