Understanding Crystal Healing

While all these stones are described as incredibly beautiful, fascinating, or jaw dropping, they can also be described as powerfully healing. Yes, amazingly enough, stones dug from our very earth carry energies that can benefit us in healing physically, emotionally or spiritually. This isn’t something new either, crystal medicine has dated back from thousands of years ago, tracing back to locations like Ancient Egypt, India, China, Ancient Greece & Rome. All of these places had their own traditional medicine techniques and crystal remedies were just a part of them. We still share the knowledge of crystal healing from a lot of these places everyday and some you’ve probably heard of! The Ancient Greeks contributed a significant amount in the way we use crystals today with their names and properties. “Amethyst” means '“not drunk” they wore and gifted it as an amulet to prevent the person from getting drunk or to prevent a hangover from happening. Green stones were used by the Ancient Egyptians representing the heart of a passed loved one and included it into their burials. Both of these stones can be used for the same purposes to this day.

What exactly is crystal healing you’re wondering? Crystal healing is the method of keeping crystals on or around your body and using them to restore or promote benefiting changes in your mind, body or spirit. “Using their energies?” How does it all work? As we all know everything has energy, everything moves and everything vibrates. Energy is everything and everything is energy. Everything including you and crystals. Using crystals to benefit yourself in your daily life is something magically possible. Crystals are an excellent assistant in issues like health, financial, relationships, self, work life and so much more. Each trait about a stone like its structure, color, and shape defines its properties. Creating a unique vibration for crystals with these characteristics and naturally emitting its energy to us. Now don’t get me wrong, as magically amazing crystal energy is, you can’t pick up Pyrite for prosperity/abundance, play the lotto and expect to become a billionaire, but you can use it as a tool to help make your odds and luck greater. You can carry Pyrite with you to your job and expect greater things to come like better tips, a pay raise, position switch or maybe even a bonus. Crystals allow you to receive the energy you need, open you up to awareness, communicate clear and honestly, bring you clarity, motivation and can even bring comfort in times of heart ache. But, working with crystal energy also requires you to put in your own work as well, you can’t expect your crystals to fix your problems, they can only provide the energy for you to. They can’t make miracles happen but can assist you in creating one. When you’re angry, sad, unmotivated or stuck, you can work with crystals that align to find the reason why or use energy to dispel these feelings. When working with crystals it’s helpful to compare your intention with the properties of the stone. In doing so, intentions are perfectly aligned with both your crystal and self creating a more powerful manifestation in whatever you’re desiring.

Using stones and having a strong dedicated mind allows you to create a safe and balanced life to thrive in. Having a strong mind with strong intentions help tremendously in working with crystal energy. Using crystal energy requires an open mind, one you’re willing to fill with more curiosity and knowledge. Taking your time to sit with the stone and think about any emotion or thoughts that come to mind is another great technique to use in any phase of your practice and especially when you need more time connecting with your crystals and self. Working with crystals may seem like some uniform set of rules, but in reality it’s your own practice and what you’re comfortable in doing, you just need to find your rhythm!

I like to tell people, you are the true power to your crystal practice <3
