This is my last week of crystal therapy! I am now working with Tiger’s Eye, another Solar Plexus stone. If you want to see my other crystals in this month-long project, here are Turquoise, Blue Topaz and Citrine. Please note: this blog is for entertainment purposes only! I am not a doctor and am not making any recommendations. Even if you think crystal healing isn't real, hopefully th[...]
Alright, I am now into my 3rd crystal, Citrine! This means I am finished with my Throat Chakra crystals and am now working on my Solar Plexus. If you’re new here and want to know what on earth I’m doing, here’s my initial post on why I’m doing this, here is my post about Turquoise and here is my post about Blue Topaz. Before I get into this, I just want to say that this was a rese[...]
Continuing my crystal therapy for vocalists, this week will be with Blue Topaz. If you want to see why I’m doing this, here is my initial post and here is my week with Turquoise. If you're new to this blog, I am just asking that you keep an open mind about my journey here. I have tried other alternative therapies for singers before so this is nothing new for me! I am not trying to sell[...]
I'm starting out my crystal therapy experiment with Turquoise. If you're curious about how I got into this in the first place, here is my initial post and interview about crystal healing for vocalists! Before we get started, I know there are a lot of strong opinions about crystals, both positive and negative (as is the case for any alternative therapy, to be honest). I went into this with[...]
I'm excited to share this new adventure with you! As you know, I'm a fan of trying new things to see if they will benefit singers. I've always been curious about different kinds of alternative therapy, and today I'm getting into a series on crystal healing. Crystals have been used for various treatments and therapies for at least 6,000 years. Almost every ancient culture has used crysta[...]
Cupping Therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine, where cups are suctioned onto the skin for various (but unproven) benefits. The practice dates back to 3,000 B.C. and has reportedly been used by Egyptians, Grecians and Chinese, although most people associate it primarily with Traditional Chinese Medicine. Cupping Therapy is performed with either glass cups which are heated to in[...]
If you missed my post about why I’m writing about these, check that out here. Otherwise, let’s get started! Our final chakra is actually known as the first chakra: the Root. You may be wondering, “why did you start at the 7th chakra?” and my answer is that I like going from top to bottom. It’s how I typically do scans in Reiki so it just made sense for me to do it[...]
Standard intro: If you missed my post about why I’m writing about these, check that out here. Otherwise, let’s get started! Your Sacral Chakra is second from the bottom, also called the 2nd chakra. It is located right around the naval or hip area and is known as the chakra for “passion and pleasure.” Your dirty mind is correct, but there are other ways to view passion[...]
If you missed my post about why I’m writing about these, check that out here. Otherwise, let’s get started! Your Solar Plexus Chakra is located right under your heart chakra. I used to confuse this one with the Sacral Chakra often. I just remember Sacral as “Second,” which is a weird association but it works for me. The Solar Plexus is the 3rd chakra, sort of in the stomach area[...]
If you missed my post about why I’m writing about these, check that out here. Otherwise, let’s get started! Your Heart Chakra is located, surprise surprise, in your heart. It’s also generally within that whole chest/shoulder area. It is the 4th chakra and is associated with the color green. If you’re surprised to hear it’s not red or pink, that’s because the lower chakras (R[...]
