• Trataka (A yogic purification technique of staring at one point/dot/candle flame; this brings energy to the “third eye” and is known to also promote various psychic abilities),
• Yogic Mudras which is the practice of balancing the vital energy throughout the body by joining different combinations of the fingers and thumbs

Types of healing Crystals –

1. Rose Quartz Crystals –

The pink/rose quartz crystals are known to radiate loving energy to the wearer; the clear crystal works on the physical and emotional level;

2. Labradorite Crystal –

The labradorite crystal lends healing cleanse & spirituality to the wearer;

3. Hematite Crystal –

The Hematite crystal provides protection from negativity, and there are others one can use as need be.)

This is an ancient alternative medicine technique and something that one can try as long as one is receptive to it. While wearing or using healing crystals, one can also ‘charge’ and ‘program’ the crystal to provide the owner with the benefits of its various properties; lastly, crystals should also be regularly cleaned by soaking them in salt water (for a few hours or overnight).

7. HEALING AFFIRMATIONS

Affirmations is the ‘Secret’ to Manifestation! When we affirm with a clear, calm and believing mind, we can call upon the energy of the universe to manifest anything that we want or need. These affirmations empower the energy of the emotional body and can help fix the mind, body and soul.
The Magic of this Secret needs to be sincerely tried first hand, and then you will become a believer for life… but there is just one catch: You need to affirm positively so that these manifestations supplement your emotional health, instead of depleting you (by ridding you with guilt, unhappiness, etc. kind of negative elementals).

8. GRATITUDE

This is a simple technique of positively giving thanks and feeling grateful & thankful for someone, something or anything in life; this is an ancient technique of Karma cleansing whereby being thankful and acknowledging the act or the person, in-turn brings us good Karma. The fact of the matter is that ‘gratitude’ whenever done with the right intention, brings forth positive energy and abundance to us, and this heals the self, both emotionally and physically!
One can even create gratitude rituals (like journals, morning prayer of gratitude etc.) that can be done daily. This practice enhances our overall well-being, while also positively impacting the energy surrounding us.
