Crystal Healing

I was recently given the task of writing a scientific evaluation of Crystal Healing.  Too often scientists dismiss complementary health without ever trying it for themselves with an open mind.   I didn’t want to fall in to that trap so I arranged to see a Crystal Healer called Joanne Duffy who works from her home near Newmarket.  After a brief chat I was asked to lie on my back on the couch and take some deep breaths.  She said she first connected with what she called the etheric body (or spiritual body).   Joanne explained later that she used a dousing technique to open the chakra energy centres and to make a connection between her higher self and mine.  She asked me to take a few more deep breaths to ground myself - to bring me back to my source.  “Choose a colour, the first that comes to mind and to hold that light,” she said.  Instantly,  the colour vibration I usually work with i.e. a sort of swirling vortex of white light filled with a mist of gold shimmering particles swooshed through my body from the crown to the root and back up out to the crown again.  Only this time it was joined by violet purple light too.

Tune in To Your Natural Intelligence

Now the public are fed up with hearing constant coverage of doom and gloom about the economy - the swine flu pandemic brings another old favourite news theme to the fore - death and destruction.  I was once a reporter and so I am perhaps more aware than most that - fear sells.  It is fear that is often the "hook" which draws us in to the wall-to-wall news we are bombarded with.  Whether we watch it, listen to it or read it - the conscious or subconscious bottom line is often fear - what about me?  What if it happens to me or my family?  Am I at risk? 

How can we engage our natural intelligence especially at times like this to separate the hype from reality - to bring some perspective to the scale of this problem?

Evidence Based Science

It is easy to understand why historically many people found it difficult to understand the world was a sphere.  They looked out at the landscape and it seemed to stretch for as far as their eyes could see.  They didn't fall off, no matter how far they walked or which hill they climbed.  It took many years for the western world to prove our world was spherical (by sailing around it).   Ayurveda has known this reality thousands of years before Christ.  The ancient sages meditated and reached higher levels of consciousness - it enabled them to go beyond the senses and discover amazing truths about life, nature and the Universe.  Today the scientific community has a way of  proving something is real or effective - it's called evidence based medicine.  The term is often synonymous with a trusted treatment and the medical fraternity single-mindedly use this approach as the only legitimate means of comparing the effectiveness of a healing system.  However as is often the case with man-made rules and assumptions, some things simply don't fit or cannot be measured or explained in this way.

The Big Picture

There is a typical arrogance generated in some academic institutions who believe their way is the best way, they are always right and their way is the only way.  This blinkered vision often applies to the world of medicine.  It is through this limited ideology and approach that we the people of the world miss out on the potential to develop, expand and share knowledge for the benefit of mankind and our Universe as a whole.   

I raise this issue because I am totally disappointed with the recent BBC 2 TV programme called Professor Regan's Medicine Cabinet.  No doubt a distinguished scholar, Professor Regan applied a typically narrow-minded opinionated perspective on the power of herbal medicine and homeopathy.  Her view was further entrenched by so-called experts the programme makers had chosen to support Professor Regan's restricted outlook.
