Ancient Roots of Crystalline Hues and Healing Light
The journey of Crystal and Colour Therapy stretches back through time, rooted in the wisdom of ancient civilizations. The ancient Egyptians, deeply attuned to the rhythms of nature, masterfully employed both for healing and spiritual balance. They understood that just as sunlight brings life, specific colours and the inherent energies of crystals could restore harmony.
Their temples of healing were sanctuaries of light and earth, where rooms bathed in specific colours, and sunlight streamed through carefully chosen crystals, created environments of profound therapeutic power. Floors might mirror the green of life-giving papyrus reeds along the Nile, while sacred blue reflected the vastness of the sky. These practices, documented on papyrus dating back to 1550 BC, reveal a deep understanding of how coloured light and crystalline energies could soothe ailments and uplift the spirit.
This ancient reverence for the vibrational gifts of the earth and light was a holistic understanding, one that saw the energetic and the physical as intertwined. While later traditions, like those of the ancient Greeks, sometimes focused more on the scientific observation of colour, the deeper, metaphysical wisdom of both colour and crystal energies was carefully preserved by a knowing few throughout the ages.
Similarly, ancient Chinese texts, such as the Nei Ching, dating back 2000 years, also record diagnoses and healing practices that incorporated the power of colour, attesting to a widespread ancient intuition of their serene benefits.
