Crystal Healing

Crystal Energy is the vibrations that crystals, rocks, stones, or fossils give off. Some have a higher vibration than others depending on their structure, mineral content, color, shape, size, and age.

Crystal Energy is not a new concept – it has been around for thousands of years with ancient civilizations harnessing the energy of crystals.

The ancients believed that, not only are their physical energies in the body but that there are various spiritual energies as well. The concept underlying Crystal Healing is that the invisible spiritual energies of the body, (the prana or the Chi) can be realigned through the natural vibrations of various crystals.

We are only now remembering this information and bringing it back into our daily lives. The idea that the body has spiritual energy is very ancient and is indeed the very underpinning of the very modern practices of Acupuncture, Reiki, Crystal Healing, and some forms of yoga.

Most crystals are formed over eons by immense pressures deep within the earth. They are formed out of mineral solution or gasses from the molten core. Some have been heated and cooled, and reheated again; others result from the gradual breakdown of the rock. The appearance of a crystal mostly depends on how it has been formed. A crystal is defined by its internal structure; the unique geometric crystal lattice is how crystals are identified and means that some crystals, such as Aragonite, have several very different external forms and colors, which at first glance could not possibly be the same crystals. It is this structure, rather than the mineral(s) out of which it is formed, that is crucial to crystal classification. In some cases the mineral content differs slightly, creating the various colors in which a particular crystal can be found. While a number of crystals may be formed out of the same mineral or combination of minerals, each type will crystallize out differently. The internal structure of any crystalline formation is constant and unchanging.

At the center of a crystal are the atom and its component parts. An atom is dynamic, consisting of particles rotating around a center in constant motion. So, although a crystal may look outwardly serene, it is actually a seething molecular mass vibrating at a certain frequency. This is what gives a crystal its energy.

Crystals are sacred as well as powerful. They need to be respectfully approached and used so that it works well at its highest potential. Crystals should be cleansed and pre-programmed beforehand. Many crystals are fragile and delicate. Crystals that are layered or clustered can separate. Polished surfaces or natural points can get easily scratched or damaged. Tumbled stones are more durable. When not in use, wrap your crystals in clean silk or velvet cloth. This protects your crystal against absorbing negative energies. Crystals need regular cleansing, when you buy them, after wearing or using them for healing. A few crystals never need cleansing, like Citrine, Kyanite, Azeztulite. Carnelian and Clear Quartz cleanse other crystals, and are especially useful for delicate stones, but may need cleansing themselves afterward.

Crystals that are not fragile can be held under running water or you can immerse the crystal in water. After few hours take out the crystal and hold it under running water. Then placing the crystal in the light of the sun or full moon for few hours will recharge its energies, provided it is not a stone that fades in the sunlight, and care should be taken, not to focus the rays where they could start a fire. As you do so, hold the intention that all negativity will be washed and the crystal is re-energizing.

You can smudge crystals with the incense stick or pass them through a light of an aroma candle. You can also visualize them surrounded by white light, which purifies and re-energizes them. “Purpose-made cleanser” is also available which is the easiest way to purify a crystal. You only need to put a drop or two on crystals or spray it.

Crystals have their electromagnetic field, and so does our body, therefore energy can be transferred between the two. Crystal draws off negative energies from you and releases beneficial energies which are absorbed by us. Crystals have healing qualities in them not only for us but even for our environment. For example, Smoky Quartz and Black Tourmaline have the ability to absorb negativity and electromagnetic smog and put out clear and pure energy. Black Tourmaline around you helps you protect against electromagnetic emanations, including cell phones and computers, and turn back psychic attacks. By observing energetically, the subtle reality in and around any crystal or mineral – a ‘field’ of special subtle energy can be found. It is the field of mineral energy – a non-physical field of subtle energy that’s very specific in strengths and frequencies of vibration. Every different type of mineral has a different type of field and a different form of mineral energy within that field. So the field of Rose Quartz for example is different from that of Amethyst. Also contained in this mineral energy is a ‘code’ or agent called The Element of Harmony. It basically maintains balance and equilibrium in the minerals’ energetic reality.

We can now return to the information command of the energies in the channels between the Chakras and the organs of the body (on subtle levels, not physical levels).

Picture if you will someone with a Throat Problem – let’s be as specific as to say they have trouble with their vocal cords, as a result of perhaps some abnormal growth.

In keeping with the principle of why this problem has manifested – as a result of the subtle energy going to the area becoming miscoded, we can approach the use of minerals.

In this exact case, Green Tourmaline can be used to resolve the matter. Why – because the specific vibrations of the ‘mineral energy of Green Tourmaline’ are closely similar to the vibrations of the subtle energy that sustains and maintains the throat area, particularly the vocal cords …

When a Green Tourmaline crystal is brought to the area, on energetic levels it means that the mineral energy field will interact with the subtle energy of that part of the body. As a result, the Element of Harmony engages with the miscoded ‘vocal cords energy’ and begins to re-program it to return back to balance once again.

However, as much as this crystal would have an effect, it would be comparatively limited and therefore it would need to be amplified by means of special energetic exercises.

These exercises involve the use of thought forms, which are powerful, concentrated, consolidated thoughts of a fixed objective. By the action of a thought-form on a mineral, the mineral energy can increase its power a hundredfold.
