Did I ever mention here, that I love crystals? Well, it's true. I LOVE crystals! And I work with crystals and crystal healing a lot with my clients. In our culture, they are considered stone relatives, and we honor the medicine of stones. Crystal healing is not just some New Age fad; it is a powerful practice that taps into the energy of the Earth and harnesses its healing properties. Crystals have been used for centuries to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. These enchanting gems emit vibrations that can align and balance your own energy centers, or chakras.

By placing crystals on specific parts of your body or wearing them as jewelry, we can tap into their unique frequencies and reap their benefits. From reducing stress and anxiety to enhancing creativity and intuition, crystal healing offers a multitude of advantages for when you are seeking a holistic approach to wellness. If you're feeling out of balance or just want to explore a new avenue of self-care, consider the transformative power of crystal healing.

One of the most elusive practices of alternative medicine has to do with simply placing colorful crystals on your body for a soothing, calming effect. They harmonize your inner energy and subtly soothe your aura at first before healing physiological ailments.

The History of Crystal Healing

Crystal healing has a rich and fascinating history among Native Americans. For centuries, Indigenous tribes across North America have practiced the art of crystal healing, harnessing the natural energy of crystals to promote physical and spiritual well-being. The use of crystals in healing rituals is deeply ingrained in their cultural beliefs and traditions. We know crystals have unique properties that restore balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit.

From clear quartz to amethyst, each crystal is revered for its specific healing abilities.

Crystal healing remains an integral part of Native American culture, serving as a powerful reminder of their ancient wisdom and connection to the natural world.

Crystals have been used to heal and restore balance since the earliest times. Egyptians, Chinese, Romans, India's Ayurvedic medicine as well as traditional Tibetan medicine and more have all had some connection with crystals.

These civilizations have utilized the power of crystals to facilitate the free flow of energy throughout the body. Ancient Egyptians believed crystals to be protective, while they've been used as talismans (a stone used for protection) and healing stones (typically jade) for thousands of years. Of course, countless cultures collected them for their beauty in jewelry and ornate decor, usually symbolizing status and wealth.

The Hidden Powers of Crystal Healing

Our minds, bodies and spirits are intricately linked. This means that even having crystals next to your bed or laying on your desk will do a world of good. Here's an example - many years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were having great difficulty getting pregnant. They had tried for years, to no avail. So when they reached out to me, I found some garnet beads. I cleared and charged them, and took a good amount of time to set the intention with the garnet beads.

When I got the feeling that the time was right for beads to be sent over, I put them in the mail, along with an obsidian arrowhead for her husband. I gave them instructions - my friend was to wear the beads, and her husband was to keep the arrowhead in the drawer in his bedside table. Within three months, they conceived their child! Now, they have two beautiful children, and couldn't be happier.

Bear in mind that your body is made up of energy patterns that differ in densities.

These patterns form an intricate electromagnetic system, known as your vibrational energy system. Therefore, when these patterns of energy flow together and freely, there is inner harmony. Your body has been helped to reach its healthiest state.

Any disruption of these patterns affects this natural state of harmony. This is when things become disharmonic and we can encounter dis-ease. This could be anything from a migraine to a more serious disease with serious repercussions. Crystals are structured so that they act as the perfect electromagnetic conductors! They have an incredibly positive effect on our health and well-being. Dr. Sue Morter has some further great information on how to raise your vibrational frequency for healing.

Crystals act like a tuning fork, re-tuning our bodies to their innate natural patterns of energy.

They are a reliable and consistent source of harmony and vitality. Each stone resonates with a slightly different geometric pattern. So, they are living, active participants in nature! Protons, neutrons, and electrons fly around in balance and participate in patterns.

Modern crystal therapy is generally thought of as a noninvasive, holistic treatment for mental, emotional and physical ailments. Those who enjoy crystal healing have found that placing certain crystals on various parts of the body results in healing and relaxation.

The Practice of Crystal Healing

Quartz crystal and our bodies are made up of the same mineral, silicon dioxide. This is why our bodies are in tune with the vibrations emitted by crystals. Each crystal has unique properties - from resonance, to color, energy, mineral content and inherent geometry. Each crystal possesses a unique energy that can be harnessed to heal and balance the body.

The art of crystal healing involves placing specific crystals on different parts of the body. They can also be placed around your space to radiate their positive vibrations. As crystals interact with our energy fields, they remove blockages, restore harmony, and promote healing on all levels. Basically, whether you're seeking relief from physical ailments or simply looking to enhance your spiritual journey, crystal healing offers a gentle yet powerful way to connect with the natural world and tap into its healing potential. Harness the power of crystal healing and let your spirit soar!

Crystal healers choose the stones that are most beneficial to you at that specific moment. This is based on color and metaphysical qualities. When these crystals are placed onto the body, they create a powerful vibratory effect that surges from the crystal to harmonize with you.

Since different crystals resonate at different frequencies, this helps release negative energy, thereby assisting the physical and emotional healing process.

Uses for Healing with Crystals

Crystals have unique properties that balance and align the body's energy centers, or chakras. Whether it's amethyst for spiritual clarity and intuition, rose quartz for love and compassion, or citrine for abundance and success.

By not only placing crystals on specific parts of the body - as we've discussed - you can wear them as jewelry. This is a wonderful way to tap into their energetic qualities and promote overall well-being. You can use crystal healing alongside traditional medicine practices to enhance your healing process. When you're feeling out of balance or in need of some extra support, incorporate the power of crystal healing into your self-care routine!

Here are some issues you can use your crystals for:

• Depression, anxiety & stress

• Emotional balancing, self-esteem

• Mental clarity

• Enhancing meditation practice

• Insomnia, fatigue, problems sleeping

• Pain reduction or elimination

• Muscle tension in the body

• Maintaining general wellness

• For aesthetics; as decor and jewelry

Every one of us has three main mentalities - the positive, the negative, and the neutral. Due to our hectic lifestyles, we have been programmed to seek out the negative mindset first. This often happens before we even think of applying the positive or the neutral. It's our natural protective instinct.

When our negative mindset takes over, we see everything as undesirable, unattractive, and depressing. One of the best ways to relieve this negativity, in my humble opinion, is by incorporating the healing powers of crystals. When used as a means of therapy, they help us become more grounded, centered, and connected in body, mind, and spirit!
