Crystals are wonderful and powerful healing tools that are capable of healing on many dimensions. They are used during crystal healing, which is a form of vibrational medicine, to facilitate and amplify the healing process. Crystal healing works holistically to balance the body, mind, emotions and spirit. It helps to neutralise imbalanced energies and increase feelings of well-being. Crystals work with your energy field and chakras to absorb, focus, replenish and direct energies. Each crystal variety resonates at a certain frequency. It is this resonance energy that gives them their healing abilities.
The Science Behind Crystals Crystals are essentially minerals that have been formed over millions of years. They are the most orderly structural formation that exists in nature, made up of three-dimensional repeating patterns of atoms. This orderly, repeating chemical structure is said to provide crystals with a type of memory, and it is this incredibly elegant and intelligent structure that enables crystals to hold and emit energies. Step in: programming your crystals.
Programming and Cleansing Crystals You can programme your crystals by holding them in your hands and filling them with your intention. The crystal will respond to this energy and store it within its structure. All you need to do is set your intention with clarity, belief and focus. The crystal will retain the energy of your intention, which will then permeate any environment in which the crystal is placed. However just as crystals can retain positive energies, they can also pick up and retain negative energies and therefore require cleansing after use in spaces or with people. There are various ways of cleansing crystals, one of the most common methods is to wash them in salt water for twenty four hours and then run them under the tap to clean off the salt. Crystals can also be cleansed during the full moon, however please note that certain crystals are best cleansed in sunlight whereas others are better suited to a full moon cleanse. Generally, all red, orange, yellow, clear and black gemstones are best cleansed in the sunlight, whereas all blue, purple, green, pink and white crystals are best cleansed in the moonlight. Soluble crystals such as selenite should be cleansed with smoke by burning incense or sage around them. I would recommend cleansing your crystals through salt baths, smoke, and light approximately once a month to regenerate the properties of the crystals.
Choosing your crystals Different crystals possess their own unique energies and properties. Certain crystals work to boost our mood or levels of vitality, some help to restore peace and calm within whilst others help heal our heart and any emotional imbalances and conflicts we may be experiencing.
