The Healing Properties of Crystals

Crystal Healing

Much has been spoken and written about using crystals for improving health and well being.  Here is an introduction to understanding the principles.

Vibrational Healing

As with all organic matter, there’s an energetic force at work in the structure of crystals.  On an atomic level, it is seen their mineral composition, which dictates their colour, texture and shape.  In healing terms, this energy can be felt by those sensitive to it as a vibration or tingle.  It can be stored or emitted from the crystal, in the same way that quartz crystals are used for electric impulses.

Think about wood, and why it splits.  The energetic force to continue growing continues after the tree has been cut down.  In the same way, crystal self-heal, growing smaller terminations on the base where they were removed from the bed they formed on.

Like external vitamins, each crystal, with its unique vibration, carries different qualities that we match with our needs on a like-cures-like basis.  The healing properties attributed to a crystal is based on an understanding of the effect of the mineral composition on us at a micro level, as well as drawing from colour and chakra association and on decades of clinical experience.

Have a look at the Chakra chart for a basic guide on this, or have a look below to search by crystal.
