Crystal Healing

Crystals have been used for healing and bring balance since ancient times. They are highly powerful and effective tools as they contain a number of special properties and interact with us in many different ways. One of these properties is the unique vibration of each crystal. This is a result of its colour frequency, chemical composition, inner atomic structure and outer form.

Not only does this property make a crystal indispensable in altering electromagnetic waves for medical machinery and quartz watches, but it can also produce healing energy which works on the electromagnetic field around our body, known as the aura – or the auric field. Our auric field directly relates to our emotional, mental and spiritual makeup and so, when we are well and healthy, the energies flowing through it are clear and balanced.  Any form of disharmony in our lives can cause blockages and other disturbances in our aura, which, if not treated, can result in physical illness.

Some crystals contain minerals that are known for their therapeutic properties. Copper, for instance, reduces swelling and inflammation. Malachite has a high concentration of copper, which aids aching joints and muscles. Wearing a Malachite bracelet allows the body to absorb minute amounts of copper in exactly the same way as wearing a copper bracelet does.

Some crystals are either energizing or calming, there are crystals that will both sedate an over active organ and stimulate a sluggish one. Magnetite, with its positive and negative does exactly this. It sedates an overactive organ and stimulates an underactive one.

There are crystals that will heal quickly, while others will work much more slowly. Pain could result from an excess of energy, blockage or a debility. A cool calming crystal such as Lapis Lazuli or Rose Quartz will sedate energy whereas, Carnelian will stimulate it and Cathedral Quartz is excellent for pain relief no matter what the cause.

Crystals are excellent for dealing with headaches. Lapis Lazuli will quickly draw off a migraine headache. But you need to know from where the headache stems. If it is caused by stress, Amethyst, Amber or Turquoise place on the brow will relieve it. If it is food related, however, a stone that calms the stomach, such as Moonstone or Citrine will work.

Crystals heal holistically. That is to say, they work on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels of being. You can lay crystals on or around your body for 10 to 30 minutes. Sometimes I keep a crystal or two in my pocket all day. Other days I just sit for 20 minutes holding a particular crystal to relieve certain pains. As some crystals support each other and others cancel each other out, care should be taken when using crystals for healing. If in doubt, consult a qualified crystal healer.

I have used crystal healing both on myself and on others. I can vouch for its effectiveness.  And I wear crystal jewellery most of the time, because I find that its beneficial energy is absorbed by my body and contributes to my natural positive energy balance.  Crystals can be used as preventative medicine.

There are many sources from which you can buy crystals to use them yourself as a holistic therapy. The best source is a local store where you can browse at your leisure. The Internet can also point you in the right direction, although there are hundreds of thousands of entries and it can take time to narrow a search down. There are also Mind-Body-Healing and Crystal and Mineral fairs where you can find advice and crystals for sale.

But…beware!!  You can suffer from overdoses of crystal energy if you do not use the crystals properly – so I would advise you read a good guidance book on crystal healing before trying it at home or seek the advice of a professional healer. 

Diamonds are one of the purest forms of crystals. Its pure white light can help you to bring your life into a cohesive whole. It bonds relationships bringing love and clarity into a partnership. Diamond has been a symbol of wealth for thousands of years and is one of the stones of manifestation, attracting abundance. The larger the Diamond, the more abundance there is. Diamond is an amplifier of energy. It is one of the few stones that never needs recharging.  Every woman I know loves diamonds.  Wearing diamonds increases your positive energy flow.

Many crystals are fragile and friable. When not in use, wrap your crystals in a silk or velvet scarf. This prevents scratching and protects the crystal against absorbing foreign emanations. Crystals need to be cleaned when you buy them and after wearing or using for healing. Crystals can be held under running water or immersed in the sea or salt water so that all the negativity will be washed away and the crystal re-energized. Placing the crystal in the light of the sun or moon for a few hours can also recharge its batteries.
