Dr Neelam, Crystal healer
Crystal-healing techniques, extensively practised in London and Germany are becoming popular in India, believes Dr Neelam from Sanskirit Holistic Centre. “In crystal healing, a person is made to lie down in a crystal layout. Seven crystals are then placed on each chakra of his or her body.

For instance, diamond is used for crown chakra, amethyst for throat chakra and black onyx for root chakra,” she says. These crystals are kept in salt water followed by bright sunlight and moonlight. “Crystal healing balances the chakras of the body thereby making it healthy.”

Dr Neelam practices and teaches Feng Shui as well. “Every person has a lucky and unlucky direction. Feng Shui energises the lucky directions. This can be done in many ways. One of them is to place crystal balls in the South West corner of the house because it’s connected to relationships,” she says
