This initially brings the conscious mind to a calm state, removing stressful thoughts. The balancing effect opens the patient up to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels and removes the stressful negative thoughts that plague Western Society. Furthermore, due to the balancing of the left and right hemispheres of the brain it opens us up to the playful, fun, artistic and spiritual sides of who we are. This in turn gives our unconscious mind a sense of safety and trust in the possibilities for change.  The therapy also stimulates the pineal, hypothalamus and thyroid glands, creating a cascade of positive chemical and hormonal releases throughout the body thus aiding it to return to a state of balance and vitality. Elation therapy may also help to improve the functioning of the nervous system by regulating heart rate and the way the body makes and uses up energy.

After Elation therapy we look at the Spleen. The spleen has many functions, it is primarily a filter for cleansing impurities/dead contaminates from our blood as well as dispersing red blood cells and it also oversees white blood cell production which is the gateway to our immune system. Diamond and Carnelian gem cups are used for this. Diamond is known as the ‘King of the gem stones’, as it is clear and contains all the rays of light. It is mainly used for balancing and enhancing the body’s metabolism. When mixed with other stones, such as Carnelian, it increases the energy of that stone. Carnelian has been used to heal open sores, rejuvenate tissues and cells, heal rheumatism, kidney stones, and address other kidney problems such as gall stones, along with curing colds, spleen allergies and neuralgia.

CLT works in conjunction with Spleen therapy, by activating the spleen and therefore the acupuncture meridians (the ‘Luo’ system in Chinese medicine) thus dissolving worries and anxiety and leaving a person feeling completely grounded.
