Crystal healing has experienced a revival in recent years due to the New Age ideals that have been embraced by yoga, mindfulness and alternative medicine. Crystals can be used in many ways, from fragrances and water bottles infused with crystals to facials and massages and necklaces that promote healing.
Although crystal therapy is considered a pseudoscience today, some sources claim that the ancient Sumerians in Mesopotamia used it as far back as 6,000-years ago.
This guide is perfect for those who have no clue what healing crystals actually are.
What are healing Crystals?
Crystals are rock formations that occur naturally. They are admired for the unique shape, texture and radiance. Crystals were used in ancient civilizations for rituals, healing and beauty. The Egyptians, for example, believed rose quartz could make someone appear younger.
Crystal therapy is a holistic healing method that focuses on alternative medicine and spirituality. Healing crystals and gemstones are commonly used. Crystals are conduits that allow positive energy to flow while negating any negative energy or feelings within and around you.
Stress or bad energy can cause your chakras to become blocked. You need to find activities and objects that will help you maintain a healthy chakra system.
You don’t need to worry if this is all new to you; we will get to the fun stuff shortly. But, in general, everyone has 7 chakra points which correspond to different aspects of their physical and spiritual lives. Healing gemstones can help to restore the energy balance and clear any obstructions.
What is the healing power of crystals?
Crystals are believed to possess therapeutic properties due to their high frequency vibrations. Crystals’ high vibrations alter the energy field of the body.
The high vibrations of a crystal can boost your energy, or redirect or channel energies to remove blockages from the chakras, and bring body, mind and soul back into balance.
Marcel Vogel, an American new-age scientist who studied the medicinal properties of quartz crystals in the 20th century, helped to spark this knowledge. After working at IBM in the research and development department for many years and creating the first LCD liquid crystal displays, he became interested in vibrations, energy, and crystals. His pioneering research has helped the world understand that crystals in various shapes can retain and exert universal energy.
If you’re sceptical about the scientific evidence supporting the use of healing crystals, using the precious stones and earthen stones to benefit your body, mind and soul is possible in an introspective manner or by activating the placebo effect.
Even when it comes down to placebo feelings, crystals and their therapeutic properties could act as a mirror. You may be able to connect to your desires, improve well-being and manifest the life you desire based on this information.
