Does rose quartz enhance your skincare routine and your life?
Alternative health therapies, like crystal healing, are gaining in popularity, and despite the scepticism, are more popular than ever
Reiki master and crystal healing therapist Sandy Renouf’s room at Balance Health in Central, Hong Kong, is a sanctuary from the chaotic din of the city. It is a space filled with light music, and a table with crystal in different forms, shapes and sizes.
In addition to being a certified massage therapist, Renouf is a hypnotherapist and holistic therapist who “can sense energy”. I discover, before we start the massage, how she makes sure the crystals are cleansed for future customers.
“I clean them with sound,” she says, pointing to a golden Tibetan bowl next to the crystals. Renouf’s crystal massage used light touching and crystal grids on the back. She says she usually chooses crystals that are not porous, adding that the choice depends on the concerns of the customer.
