It is through the power of the light that healing is achieved on a physical, spiritual and emotional level. Because crystals are manifestation of light, they are wonderful transmitters for healing. For me, their beauty is magical, mystical and mysterious.

When I am treating someone, I use a crystal pendulum on the energy field of their body. It is important for the person to be completely relaxed and comfortable. I suggest rhythmic breathing and gentle movements to release tension from the body. Once the patient is relaxed, my crystal pendulum checks the chakras for energy blocks and congestion. I select the personal healing stones based on the guidance from the crystal and also my intuitive sense. The pendulum offers clear direction on the appropriate colors for the healing and balancing of each chakra. During the final phase of a session I concentrate on the face, third eye and crown chakra. It is with profound amazement that I have observed the various reactions of people who receive the healing stones. Sometimes it appears the patient goes into a deep sleep or trans. They do not remember anything about the session but they feel very relaxed. Others have colorful images, vision, insights, emotional release and feelings of heat or cold. Everyone receives from the crystals exactly what they need.

A healing session lasts approximately one hour. This time includes; conversation regarding the issues a person is experiencing, the crystal treatment and integrative healing time. I also share my insights and discoveries with the client. After the treatment, I recommend a stone or crystal to the person to be kept on their body for a period of time. This could be used in a pouch or worn as a necklace or ring.

Neither the crystal nor I are doing the healing work. Together we are conductors of energy, catalysts, receivers and transmitters, balancing and harmonizing the auric-energy field of the body.

I would be happy to provide you with your own personal healing stone or crystal. I also make personalized Chakra Balancing Bags. These include seven stones and crystals, each aligned to your seven centers of light.

I feel called to this sacred work and blessed to working with these divine energies.

Christine	Christine, (pronounced Christina) a native of Munich Germany, came to California in the early 1970's and fell in love with Big Sur which became her home until the mid 1990's. There she began her studies in the art of "wildcrafting" herbs and making healing tinctures and teas. During this time Christine met her teacher and mentor, Rev. S. Lee, the Korean Buddhist Abbot of the Sambosa Temple in Carmel Valley opening her to Buddhist teachings and philosophy. Through these teachings Christine realized the depth of the Body, Mind, Spirit connection. This deep realization prompted her to study Shiatsu, Massage and Integrative Yoga Therapy (for people with special needs) check web-site URL: www.iytyogatherapy.com. Christine supported a large private practice in the healing arts and taught and managed the Monterey Institute of Massage. She also taught Yoga and Tai Chi to the elderly. Christine’s early interest in the study of herbs in Big Sur and Switzerland eventually took her to the IxChel Tropical Research Foundation in Belize , a center for the study of traditional medicine, ethnobotany and rainforest preservation. For more information there are several web sites under: Rainforest Remedies. Christine met the founder and owner, Dr. Rosita Arvigo and was very inspired by the project, hoping that one day she could create a similar place.
Crystal Work	It took three years for Christine to realize her dream and in 2005 she and Jean-Pierre purchased the land in South of Brasil, Sanctuario das Borboletas.
	In 2003, I received a powerful healing with crystals at the Casa of Dom Ignasio, healing retreat of Joao de Deus, Abadania, Brazil. I had suffered from a sciatic condition for many years. I tried many different therapies but something was not completely healed and needed insight and attention.
My experience at the Casa went like this: In a simple room, with one person attending me, I was lying on a treatment table with seven crystals focused to align with my seven charkas. These focused beams of refracted light ran up and down the center my body, alternating pulsations with each chakra. I felt the vibration and powerful energy of the crystals penetrating to the cellular level of my being; cleansing, clearing and balancing my physical, emotional and spiritual body. The session lasted 20 minutes but I experienced no time. I felt extremely relaxed after the treatment and the constant sciatic nerve pain faded to almost nothing. I repeated these crystal bed treatments several more times. Each session brought new and profound insight into my physical and emotional body. I experienced divine light, peace and love and the work has had a lasting effect. This experience led me to study and work with the crystals and stones native to Brazil.
Crystals and stones are living energies – entities, pulsating, radiating and vibrating, each one emanating its own specific, designated quality of light. Crystals radiate an energy field that enables our energy field to be changed by activating our own ability to come into greater harmony and balance with the Universal light and ourselves. In healing work, the crystal’s frequencies are pulled by our etheric, or light body, through the charkas, to replenish, revitalize, realign what is imbalanced within us.
