Therapies - Working with Flower and Crystal Essences

Gill Barry has been an Essence therapist for a number of years working with clients of all ages and challenges. These essences are very gentle but powerful and work at a very subtle level in order to emotionally support us when facing a particular challenge. After working with treatment bottles holding bespoke blends of flower and crystal essences specifically designed to address the clients needs "of the moment", she began to blend the combinations in the form of sprays for those who were unable to ingest alcohol (the preservative used in the ingested essences).

"I had worked with some clients who for various reasons were unable or unwilling to take the essences containing alcohol orally, we started to formulate the sprays and it seemed very natural to include essential oils in the bottles. As we dowse for all the components of the essences bottles either ingested or sprayed, we found that amazingly the oils always complemented and supported the general intention of the essence".

"We have done extensive research on the oils contained in the twelve Aura Sprays and are constantly amazed at all the levels on which they support the combination sprays, for example the Roman Chamomile in the Hot Head Aura Spray is not only emotionally calming but in a herbal connation soothing and anti-inflammatory. We have found that it can work for conditions of the body where there is excessive heat IE: arthritis".

Gill is still in practice and enjoys working with the public immensely.

Using the energetic and spiritual properties of crystals and minerals to bring balance

I work with a holistic model of the human being where physical health is seen as part of a larger picture that includes the emotions, mental state, lifestyle and aspirations of the individual.

Why Crystal Healing?

When a person is unwell it is usually because the natural balance or rhythm of their being has been lost. Crystals, with their perfect atomic structure, offer patterns for the body to follow to help self-healing. Its like using a tuning fork to tune a piano. Crystals can help to bring the body back into tune.

Crystal healing can also be used to help someone achieve goals or work towards their full potential. In this way, crystal healing does not simply 'fix' something that is out of balance or in a state of dis-ease. It can be used to create more coherence within the whole person enabling them to move forward in their life.

What happens during a session?

During a crystal session you will be asked to lay on a couch, no removal of clothing is required, only your shoes and maybe your watch and/or jewellery for your own comfort.

Crystals will be placed on and around you and left there for several minutes whilst healing energies are channelled. You may experience a feeling of deep relaxation, sometimes a little warmth or coolness during the session, many clients fall into a restful sleep.

A typical session will run for approximately 45 minutes to one hour with a brief profile and medical history taken on your first visit.

How do crystals 'work'?

No-one knows how crystals and gemstones can help the healing processes of the body.

It may be that the very nature of crystals increases the levels of harmony in the immediate environment. Introducing an element of order into a chaotic, disorganised state always tends to increase overall orderliness.

When our own energy systems begin to break down under stress the simple, powerful resonance of a crystal may help us to clarify and reinstate our own harmonious patterns of health. Placing crystals, the most orderly matter in the universe, close to energy imbalances, whether it is physical illness or emotional and mental upset, may encourage the body's own healing processes to become more effective.

Science has yet to discover what is actually occurring during crystal healing, yet this in no way diminishes the real changes that are clearly felt by the participants and the lasting benefits that can be gained. Only by trying out a healing system for ourselves are we able to judge its worth.
