In a crystal treatment, crystals are placed around, on and over client. The treatment may be seated or lying down; removal of clothing is unnecessary. There are many different treatments that can be used for specific illness and ailments, and a practitioner may adapt these to tailor for needs of individual.

Specific treatments that I have been taught through Vantol College of Crystal Therapy help with symptoms such as; common cold, migraines, lethargy, depression, blood sugar disorders such as diabetes, high/low blood pressure, kidney and urinary conditions, reproductive issues including fertility conditions and menstrual imbalances, ear and sinus problems and general detoxification and cleansing of body system. I have personally found crystal therapy to be very powerful in my emotional and spiritual development.

Before a treatment commences, client or recipient will be required to give some personal information about their physical health, which will be basis of decision as to course of treatments, and indeed whether a treatment should be given or not. A treatment usually lasts about an hour, in which time recipient may have many different sensations arising such as emotions, physical sensations, or mental images. It is not unusual, however, for a client not to feel anything, just very relaxed.

The best way to find a qualified Crystal Therapist is to contact Crystal Healing Federation, or British Crystal Healers. You can find these organisations through Vantol College website; www.crystaltherapy.com Practitioner’s who have been trained to standards met by these organisations, two years of training being one of them, are entitled to register with NHS Directory. You can then be sure that you are being treated by someone who has a sound knowledge of crystals and their affects.

So a self confidence hypnosis cd may include subliminal suggestions such as "I am more confident.... I believe in myself etc". These subliminal suggestions can be incorporated in a recording of music. The conscious mind hears pleasant music and subconscious hears music and also subliminal suggestions too.

As subconscious is powerful part of our mind, subliminal suggestions reach part that has most influence on our behaviour.

Duncan McColl developed something even more powerful than ordinary subliminal. This will be subject of next article.
