Hey guys, I've been going through a bit of a rough patch lately, and I'm looking for some new ways to manage my stress and anxiety. I just read<moderator removed advertising link> and I'm curious to know if anyone here has tried it before.

For those of you who don't know, crystal healing is a type of alternative therapy that uses crystals and gemstones to balance the body's energy and promote healing. 

I'm not sure what to think about crystal healing, but I'm open to trying new things if they might help me feel better. Has anyone here tried it before? What was your experience like? Did it help with any specific issues you were dealing with?

I'd really like to explore this further and hear about other people's experiences with crystal healing.

    I have experienced crystal healing in the past.  My yoga teacher used to use for the group I was in occasionally.  We also used it, under her supervision, on each other.

    I would say that it's more a mind over matter thing.  It helped me to focus on things that were causing me anxiety and actual physical pain.  I think it helped maybe, not sure.  You do need to be open minded.

    It was more like meditation I thought.  Be careful though, there are a lot of charlatans out there who will just take your money and not really do anything.

    Do you use any other alternative therapies?  Very often people who teach yoga or who practice Reiki healing will also use crystal healing.  If you have contact with alternative therapies like these already then speak to those people about it.
