The Healing Power Of Crystals

Crystals, gems and stones, have a long documented history of use in healing work in practically every culture and religious tradition since the dawn of time.  In our contemporary era, crystals are regularly employed because of their inherent ability to deeply enhance the table work experience for both the practitioner and client.  For those wishing to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the properties, characteristics, functions, and application of crystals, there are thankfully, many wonderful books that are readily available and which explain the many kinds of crystals one can obtain for use.Crystals are powerful, transformational tools, capable of even turning sound into light.  While we may consider crystals to be both inert and lifeless, the reality is they constitute and comprise the very essence of our physical and even energetic composition.  Our bodies, like crystals, are composed of silicone and water, and that is why we can so intensely feel the vibration of a crystal bowl resonating within us.  If we believe that crystals are as much a part of the web of connection as we are, then we can readily recognize that crystals have the ability to act as intermediaries, enabling us to communicate and connect with higher levels of consciousness and existence.  Crystals have unique path and it is believed by energy workers and healers that they too, have their own karmic lessons to fulfill and experience, not unlike humans.  If one truly espouses the belief that everything in the Universe is interconnected, then one must recognize that crystals are really just another manifestation or reflection of who we are.Crystals have the ability not only to conduct energy, but also amplify our feelings, thoughts, and vibrations.It has been established that crystals and gems have an amazing ability to enhance the healing work.Crystals channel good "energy" and ward off bad "energy." They carry "vibrations" that resonate with healing "frequencies," work with the chakras and help balance yin and yang. Crystals allegedly affect the emotions and can be used not only for physical healing, but for emotional problems as well.Crystals cannot only help with emotional healing,but with self expression,creativity,meditation and the immune system.Today,crystal wands are used to heal auras in aura therapy. But one of the more egregious pseudoscientific claims regarding crystals is that, if arranged properly, they can provide protection against harmful electromagnetic forces such as those that are emitted from computer monitors, cellular phones, microwave ovens, hair dryers, power lines, and other people.An experienced healer or energy worker routinely uses different sets or combinations of crystals in multiple sessions with a client.A practitioner might even choose to use the same crystal at each one of the chakras to enhance the healing properties of that crystal in a particular session.Crystals today have become an inseperable part of any healing work.Crystals acts as a Catalyst in the overall healing process.A healer will gradually come to realize, learning about crystals and their varied uses, can literally become a life-long endeavour.


Here is a simple exercise to help one ascertain and start to intuit the healing properties of crystals consists of the following steps: 

1. Lay out several stones or crystals in a table before you.  First note if you are drawn to any particular one.  If so, pick it up.  Note how the crystal feels in your hand.  Does it feel warm—tingly, or cold? Do you experience any other sensations as you hold it? Make note of these. 
2. See if another crystal draws you or calls to you.  
3. Repeat the same process until you have picked all of the crystals up.  It is very common for you to pick up a crystal that is visually appealing, and reflective of the healing properties you may have need of.  As you explore using crystals and noting their properties you will begin to intuit which ones you are drawn to using or carrying.  
4. When you finish the exercise, look up the properties of the crystals you were drawn to, and see if they speak to you.
