Crystals Will Heal You!

The correct healing properties of crystals are chosen for crystal healing either by the colour or the composition of the stone defining its appropriateness for a specific disease. Your intuition, your love, your connectedness to the energies will guide you to make the right choices in every situation. 

Crystal Healing can be used to improve your life physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Crystals are incredibly versatile and all of them are healing stones each exerting its energy at a different level and frequency. 

Nothing on Earth compares with their fascinating forms and enchanting colours.

The forms of healing with crystals that are in use today arose in the alternative cultures of the 1970's and 1980's, but like many complementary systems, they have developed out of ancient cultural traditions.

A little bit of History . . .

Ancient peoples believed that crystals had fallen from the heavens as gifts from their ancestors.

This notion is not so far from the truth. All the particles that make up matter once originated within the hearts of old stars. When these stars exploded, their particles were scattered throughout the universe and re-formed as new stars and planets.

The idea that every stone has special magical healing properties for crystal healing can be traced back through the European literature of the early Middle Ages right back to their sources in Greek, Roman and Arabic philosophy, which in turn owe much to the Ayurvedic traditions of India.

For many centuries, because the origin of disease was unknown; healing and in particular crystal healing as part of the healers' toolkit was linked with magick and superstition.

Countless magical and healing properties have been attributed to the healing stones over the centuries.

• Diamonds gave immunity to poison and revealed infidelity ...
• Amethyst protected against drunkenness ...
• Bloodstone (heliotrope) stopped nosebleed and conferred invisibility ...
• Sapphire enabled the wearer to escape from prison ...

Crystals have always been considered special, extraordinary, even supernatural.

The people who carried, wore or used crystals believed that they would be imbued with some of the power belonging to these spiritual realms which of course is viewed as a form of crystal healing.

In ancient Egypt crystal healing was practiced by the pharaoh and his priesthood who prized turquoise as a symbol of fertility, life and joy.

While the general populace had no access to the rare and expensive gemstones, as these religious and temporal leaders would seek out the finest gems, they would mimic the gems appearance with less precious materials, with amulets of blue glass, hoping for the same benefit of crystal healing as one would get from genuine crystal.  

In this way the two main areas of crystal use were defined: as a means to display earthly status and as a focus for magical and healing energies. These two strands persist to this day, we have the "hoi polloi" and their rocks (diamonds) and we have crystal healing.

Crystal Healing Today . . .

With an open heart and mind you will witness first hand the miracles of the energies of the healing crystals as things begin to happen.

It would just about seem that they choose you.

You will be attracted to them whether because of their colour, shape or maybe a sensation you experience when you pick one up and hold it, the vibration you feel from the stone will let you know it is the right one for you. Allow your senses, to be your guide and trust your intuition.

Crystal healing is not an exact science and before we take a look at some healing gemstones and their energies and healing properties, we must keep the sceptic in mind. As with everything and in particular something different like healing with  crystals it would be open season for the sceptic to try to raise simple arguments like the "placebo affect".

The placebo effect asserts that a person will feel better after a treatment if they expect that they will. Sometimes the placebo effect has been cited as being the only reason for any noticeable improvement in health when, alternative healing methods, in particular crystal healing therapy is employed.

When somebody says to me that crystal healing is all in the mind, I am reminded of the fact that many problems start in the mind, aura - mental body, and spread to the body. There is overwhelming proof that the mind does play a vital role in the body's ability to recover from illness ...

The healing power of positive thought is universally accepted by both traditional and alternative medical practitioners to not only aid but speed up the healing process, add to this a belief in the powers of a certain therapy, like crystal healing and the cure can and will be quicker.

The measure of how effective gemstones are in your life should not be gauged by the experience of a single crystal healing session. On some days you may be more sensitive and open to the crystal healing process than others. I always suggest that it is best to have short, regular crystal healing sessions rather than to try and "fix" everything all at once.

Over time you will begin to notice that your well being improves with the regular crystal healing sessions. You'll notice that you cope better with difficult situations and that you feel more settled and balanced after several short crystal healing sessions.
