What Are Healing Crystals?
Crystals are rock types with physical properties, such as the precise arrangement or the formation of atoms. They affect light refraction, electrical charge, and so on. The focus of crystal healing is on these properties and how they impact the body’s vibratory as well in terms of electrical charge and function. “These vibrations and frequencies can also be understood as qi or vital energy that makes up any living entity,” says Jenelle Kim, one of the leading experts in Chinese medicine and is the founder and formulator behind JBK Wellness Labs.
How Do Healing Crystals Work?
The theory behind the healing of crystals is that it influences the person through two different ways, namely of vibration and mental attitude.
Vibrational Medicine
The 1970s were the time that IBM scientist Marcel Vogel invented “vibrational medicine” in the 1970s “vibrational medicine,” referring to the notion that treating using crystals alters the frequency of cells in the body to align with the energy of a crystal being utilized. “Crystals have a similar wavelength to the human body, which means they vibrate at the same tone as humans and can enhance the body’s natural healing [process],” Dr. Kim.
Scientists also claim that crystals for protection are good when you encounter people with witchcraft abilities.
The holistic chiropractor of Los Angeles Alexandra Trevisan further clarifies “As humans, we can work within this scale of energy that can be either ascending or declining. Imagine excitement and love at the top, and hate and fear at the bottom of the scale. Healing crystals usually contain one or more of the frequencies that are at the top energy scale (love or clarity, as well as hope) or block energy coming from the lower end of the energetic scale (anger or despair, anger or jealousy).”
Mindset
The healing of crystals also increases mental energy in a way which is more powerful than the stimulation of energy vibrations. Through time, the religious and poets thought of crystals to represent purity and joy, as well as faith and the finest quality. Crystals were used as a resource of motivation, dedication, and inspiration.
Stanford research suggests that the mindset is a key element in health and healing. The intention-based model of crystal healing – which is similar to the approach developed through mindfulness meditation – can help improve your immune system and concentrate the processing of emotions, reduce stress, and regulation of your nervous system.
How Do You Use Healing Crystals?
There are numerous ways to use healing crystals to aid in healing including meditation, decoration and beyond.
Meditation
Gazing at or holding the crystal of desire, emotion, or mantra is an easy and effective way to return to your routine of meditation whenever your mind gets lost. “On a more practical level, they serve as a grounding tool,” says Trevisan.
Wearing
Many crystal healers suggest applying crystals to your skin or on your clothing to reap the greatest advantages from the theory of vibrational medicine. Trevisan is one instance. She places crystals on your body–“on the chakra which is also called the energy center”–while she assists the crystals.
Decor
Shanise Spruill a holistically certified practitioner and the founder of JOHARI and LOU Artisan Soul Stones suggests adding crystals to your decor for “maintain healthy feng shui within your home.”
