Holistic healing through crystal energy is a practice that harnesses the natural energy of crystals to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Crystals have been used for centuries in various cultures for their healing properties and are believed to have unique vibrations that can help balance the body's energy centers. Popularity in crystals in recent years has been the result of many people returning to natural medicine as a way to support and improve their health.
How Crystals Work for Healing
Crystals are part of the energy medicine realm of natural medicine. Like other modalities they are based on the belief everything has energy. Nature's energy is highest because it was developed to provide all that we need to protect, preserve, and generate life and growth.
Each type of crystal is believed to have its own specific healing properties, with different colors and formations corresponding to various aspects of the body and mind. For example, amethyst is often associated with spiritual growth and intuition, while rose quartz is known for promoting love and emotional healing. Using these crystals appropriately supports the health needs we are trying to heal. This requires we understand how the body responds to each crystal and aligning those that response vibration matches or supports what we are working through to be included in our healing.
A great deal of working with crystals includes personal selection because you alone are drawn to or repelled from things your body already knows is perfect or not for it. As humans, it is our responsibility to understand and decode what the body is telling us and provide it. What often happens though in the modern world is that the amount of toxicity we are surrounded by causes numbness and disconnection from these messages so they are easily ignored, misinterpreted or compounded by other factors, such as stress, EMF, medications, and pollutants to the body. Working with a professional practitioner helps you detox and reset these pathways so you can increase your awareness and sensitivity to your needs and respond in healthy ways to them. You will often experience a heightened power from crystals as a result of a good detox.
Crystals and Healing
Practitioners of crystal healing may use crystals in various ways, such as placing them on the body, creating crystal grids, or wearing them as jewelry. In my practice, I also use them to clear energy from the room between clients and cleanse my own energy after working with someone. The energy of the crystals is believed to interact with the body's energy field, helping to remove blockages and restore balance. This shift in energy restores the body's ability to navigate stressful situations and respond from a place of grounding in order to guide clear decision making and create awareness of our surroundings.
When I lay crystals on an individual it is in an intentional order based on their energy needs and blocks. Chakra healing and energy flow support is done with specific crystals based on need and area of support being applied. I explain to clients they may feel a heaviness when a crystal is placed on them followed by warmth or heat. This is the crystal interacting with our energy and creating balance. It should however, never feel uncomfortable and you should let your practitioner know if it does immediately. We can respond poorly to crystals that are not aligned to our energy needs or that are adulterated. This disrupts the energic vibrations of the body and can create further complication.
Depending on the crystals used, there are different energy properties that can be experienced. Additionally, crystals are driven by own intentions so using them can create powerful experiences greatly influenced by the individual. This is where understanding the power of crystals and their effect on health is so important. We can become clouded by our own emotional responses to stimuli and stress that we misinterpret our needs. In doing so, we create further blocks in our own energy that prevents healing. It also in my experience is where we see novice users develop the believe crystals don't work or is just woo-woo stuff.
While scientific evidence for the effectiveness of crystal healing is limited, many people find it to be a valuable complement to traditional medical treatments. The practice is often used to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being. Use of crystals in a professional therapeutic setting is often accompanied by meditation, visualization, and intention-setting to enhance the healing effects of the crystals. I also use it as part of PEMF therapy to reduce the imprint of electromagnetic wave lengths that we are constantly bombarded by in daily living. Crystals help reset those wave lengths so the body can restore energy balance on its own and release the toxins from PEMF exposure.
Crystal healing is often seen as a complementary therapy that works in conjunction with conventional medicine, offering a holistic approach to health and wellness. Many individuals turn to crystal energy as a way to address physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances, seeking a natural and non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments. The best crystals for this purpose are the ones perfectly aligned to what we are wanting to support and where our energy is at the time. It is helpful to work with a trained professional to navigate all the choices and help you find quality options. They can also provide the services such as chakra balancing to help facilitate the use of crystals. I allow clients to bring their own crystals if they like to their sessions. When this happens I first cleanse the crystals and use them in the session for the client. It is often a very deeper experience as you are already connected to your own crystals.
Ancient Healing with Crystals
Holistic healing through crystal energy is a practice deeply rooted in ancient traditions and beliefs, dating back centuries to various civilizations around the world. Ancient shamans, healers, and sages used crystals to tap into the innate energies of the crystals to restore harmony and vitality to the body, mind, emotions and spirit. The indigenous peoples of the Americas, for example, used crystals such as quartz and obsidian in sacred ceremonies to connect with the earth and cosmos. The use of crystals for healing purposes is based on the idea that these precious stones possess unique vibrational properties that can interact with the energy fields of the human body, promoting balance and well-being.
Where crystals greatest contribution to human health lies is in reconnecting us to earth. This was most understand by ancient peoples because they used what was available in their natural environment to support health and healing needs. Over time they developed knowledge of how certain elements responded and began sharing this information generationally. Most of our knowledge of crystals comes from ancient texts, including the Bible. In this way, crystals are one of earth's most precious gifts providing us with direct connection to our Maker.
It is through this connection we experience transformation in our thinking, feeling, and physical body that is restorative and rejuvenating. That often creates further stimulation for the body to make repairs, the mind to focus clearer on goals and paths, the heart and emotions to see the good in the world, and the spirit to feel love. When we are in a state of balanced harmony, health is most able to thrive. For this to occur, we must use high quality crystals. Unfortunately, with the popularity of crystals and mass production there can be the risk of plastic based crystals that are simply not doing anything beyond creating another plastic toxin exposure to the body.
Personal Daily Use of Crystals for Healing
There are many ways to use crystals personally with the most common being jewelry. Here we can use our personal choice and what we are most attracted to in selecting the ones right for us. Often we will find we need to wear a certain piece of jewelry at times because it feels right to us. Other times we know certain aspects of the crystals power and use it when we need it most. For example, I often wear a set of blue lapis and tigers eye bracelets for times when I need encouragement with confidence.
The shape and design of the jewelry also matters for alignment to the body's needs. Large or small bead like shapes, flat tubular or other shapes influence the crystals use on the body. It also matters what other types of elements are used such as gold or silver as this can further influence the energy of the crystal.
While you don't need to be a scientist about crystals to use them, a basic knowledge of their purpose, properties, and how to care for them are important. A trained professional practitioner can help you navigate these topics.
