Crystal Healing & How to work with crystals
Crystals have been cherished by our ancestors, healers, and shamans around the world for thousands of years. They appear in ancient texts, such as Chinese medicine records over 5,000 years old, Ayurvedic texts from India, and even the Bible, which mentions crystals over 200 times. From the Olmec civilization in Central America to the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt, crystals have been found in prehistoric graves of various cultures.
How Crystals Work:
Crystals possess mystical, magical, and scientific properties. Scientifically, crystals vibrate and exhibit piezoelectric (generating voltage under mechanical stress) and pyroelectric (generating electrical potential with temperature changes) effects. They can hold heat and electricity and focus light energy. Quartz crystals, for instance, are used to transmit radio waves, in watches, memory technology, and lasers.
What is Crystal Healing?
Crystal healing uses the energy of crystals to enhance physical health, mental clarity, emotional well-being, and spiritual growth. Crystals channel, focus, transmute, transmit, and store energy. While crystals won't do something your body can't naturally do, they can speed up healing and your body's ability to repair itself.
