Over thousands of years, shamen and medicine people around the world have worked with crystals. Records of their usage go way back over 5000 years into Chinese medicine texts, Ayurvedic texts from India. There are over 200 references to crystals and their powers in Bible. Today, people worldwide have a natural affinity for and knowledge of crystals and their universal healing powers. The belief is that crystals hold healing energy. Do they?
crystals hold healing energy
- true or false?
I stand slightly confused and amused at the security check at Srinagar Airport in Kashmir. I watch as a female clerk goes through the stuff in my backpack. She grabs a small turquoise bag, opens it, and startles. Judging by her reaction, one might think there was at least a collection of hideous spiders. She releases the grip on the bag and signs at the male officer. He peers into the bag and looks at me, asking: “What are these?”
The bag is full of my treasures, all my crystals. I look at the officer smiling: “They’re my crystals. They bring me good luck.” The officer smiles back at me and says: “Well, if they bring you good luck, then you must keep them.”
What crystals are and how they work?
Crystals are natural solids made from minerals that have formed on the surface of the earth. Their shapes, colors, and sizes vary, and they are believed to carry a million years old energy. There are many explanations for the healing effects of crystals. They heal by working through the energy system, not the physical body. By influencing the energy system, crystals can have healing effects within the physical body. Crystals vibrate their energy into the environment, and that energy is extraordinary.
What is Crystal healing?
Crystals channel energy. They can, for example, store and transmit energy. When talking about crystal healing, we talk about change. Working with crystals can improve your physical and mental health, emotional well-being, and spiritual growth. They will not do anything that your body wouldn’t do on its own, but they can speed up the process, which would happen anyway. For example, a carnelian works well for common colds by easing the symptoms faster, and jade is the crystal to relieve period pains.
What are the benefits of crystals? Crystals improve the state of well-being and reduce or even remove symptoms of the disease*. They also support and help to speed up life changes and ease healthy lifestyle choices. When you begin to work with crystals, you’ll need to choose the one(s) that are right for you. In my experience, you’ll be drawn to the right one. And it is the one you are attracted to. It might be the one you see as the pretties one, or interesting somehow. Or one that you keep going back to. After selecting crystals, you may discover that they were the most fitting choice regarding how they can help you or someone close to you.
Sometimes crystals may be predictive to help you with some future problem or issue that you don’t know anything about at this moment. And whatever the purpose of the crystals you have chosen, it will be revealed to you when the time is right.
Crystal Energy
Two years ago, one crystal attracted me like a magnet. Later, I checked what the healing power of that crystal is. It was Mangano Calcite:
- The crystal combines gentle love and joy. It also soothes.
- It activates the same properties in its user.
- It brings positivity, tolerance, and gentleness towards oneself, like a good friend.
- Mangano calcite is for forgiveness, and it releases fear and sorrow.
- It brings love.
At that time, that crystal was significant to me, and now it is primarily a beautiful one among the others. However, two other crystals are constantly in my hand, and I feel their energy quite strongly. These crystals are Fluorite and Apatite.
The name Fluorite comes from Latin (fluo) and means flow. Fluorite is known as the “Genius stone” and is even said to elevate the intelligence of its wearer. It vibrates the energies of peace and is an exceptional stone for concentration.
The name apatite comes from Greece (apatao). Apatite is a good assistant for communication, and it increases motivation and inspiration. It is a physical stone that is said to be good to maintain the ideal weight. Apatite is said to heal bones and promote the formation of new cells. When used as a piece of jewelry, apatite increases mental and physical strength and increases efficiency.
Are you Open to Receive?
You may also come across crystals that you have no interest in or any attraction to. It may be that you simply don’t like some crystal. It can be a sign to the contrary.
The fact that you don’t like a stone can be a sign that the stone’s energy is touching something very unpleasant or profound inside you. Something you thought you had already dealt with ages ago. However, when you decide to work with such crystals, they can help bring your deepest feelings to the surface. It can be a challenging experience. But afterward, you feel better and even changed in a way.
My own experience is that there is power in crystal. I believe that what it is open to opens up and gives energy to you. So, in the end, it’s about whether you’re open and receptive. Are you familiar with the crystals? Do you believe in their power?
