Discover Lithotherapy
What is lithotherapy?
Lithotherapy is the use of stones to harmonize and balance our body and mind.
Yes, we're talking about stones!
Each has unique vibrations and energies that can interact with us. It's not witchcraft, it's a way of reconnecting with the Earth's natural energy, of re-centering ourselves.
But how does it work?
You're probably wondering: how can stones have an impact on me? Well, each type of stone has its own specific properties.
Take, for example, amethyst, known for its soothing properties that promote good sleep, or rose quartz, which promotes love and self-acceptance.
The trick is to find the stones that resonate with what you need.
Once you have the stones, you can keep them close to you, wear them on your person or even meditate with them. The main thing is to be receptive and let the energy of the stones harmonize with your own. Several stones can be beneficial for you!
And in practice?
If you're wondering how to integrate lithotherapy into your daily life, it's pretty simple.
First, identify something you'd like to improve or balance in your life. Then, find out which stones can help you in this quest.
Once you have it, take the time to create a link with it. This could be by holding it during a meditation session, putting it under your pillow to positively influence your dreams, or simply wearing it as a reminder of your intention.
What does science have to say?
Lithotherapy enthusiasts will tell you: this unconventional form of medicine needs no scientific source. It's primarily based on a belief system. It's a spiritual approach, which involves attributing particular virtues to gemstones. The real problem with lithotherapy is individual sensitivity. In any case, it would be wrong to cry “lie”.
The reality is far more complex, and far richer, than that. The special physical and psychological role played by stones has a long historical heritage. It is based on numerous testimonies, some of which are very recent. Today, stones are used everywhere, and their energetic virtues are well established.
But how does it work? What guidelines can we find, in the absence of scientific sources? These are fascinating questions.
There is no single way of observing the world and understanding its phenomena. When we speak of “scientific sources”, we generally think of the conventional approach. But there are many, many approaches.
In China, certain therapeutic techniques are very different from those practiced in conventional hospitals. One such technique is acupuncture. It is particularly popular in Asian countries, but also exists elsewhere.
What's important to remember is that, unlike “conventional” medicine, acupuncture places great emphasis on energies.
The idea of harmony and balance, according to a holistic approach, is paramount. In other words, our bodies should form a harmonious whole to function at their best. Lithotherapy shares many similarities with this unconventional form of medicine. Here's what you need to know about how it works.
Believing in the power of stones is not the same as believing in magic. As in acupuncture, the focus is on energies and their flow. Indeed, according to specialists in this alternative therapy, valuable minerals, or gemstones, emit particular vibrations. These vibrations resonate with the energy centers that keep our bodies in balance. The effects are both psychological and physical.
Science has enabled us to evolve in many fields, but many others still remain unexplained or unexplored. All the more so when we're talking about invisible matters such as auras or energies. Yet science has demonstrated the presence of magnetic fields, and you only have to look at how our solar system works to understand that the elements are linked together by a power that is invisible to the naked eye but nonetheless very much present.
To conclude!
Lithotherapy is like receiving a hug from Mother Nature 🌿. Whether you're curious or already drawn to the practice, why not give it a try? Choose a stone that inspires you, give yourself the opportunity to discover its impact and see what it can do for you. Maybe the Universe has guided you here for a reason. Who knows what stones can offer you?
