We may all have heard various psychics talking about the properties of crystals. We have seen some of them cherishing their “pet crystal” as if it was an old friend or a precious keepsake.
But what’s it all about?
Why would anyone think that a piece of rock could have any extra properties to being… well… just a piece of old rock?
Are Crystals just pieces of old rock?
Crystals are often millions of years old, some of them formed during the Earth’s formation. According to various historical writings, they been used by the ancients for many varied reasons. Pharaohs of ancient Egypt are said to have balanced Ba and Ka energy (comparative to yin and yang energy) with cylinders of quartz. Lapis lazuli, with its gorgeous deep blue colour, were thought to have bought enlightenment to Egyptian and Greek queens when worn. In ancient Indian writings, crystals are also cited for emotional and metaphysical balance or wellbeing. Jasper is thought to be a stone of grounding, amethyst for spirituality and dream recall, and so on.
These days, we do know that crystals are often used in modern technology for various reasons. Examples are Quartz in watches, Silicon in computers, garnets and rubies in lasers and so forth, but crystal healers also abound.
The debate continues in scientific circles as to whether crystals do have any proven powers to spiritually heal.
If so, how might this work?
Do Crystals really heal?
Research has been conducted, particularly on electromagnetism. It is thought that, because everything vibrates at its own frequency, that simply put, some things have the ability to effect the frequency of others. In some cases, two different forms of vibrational energy are thought to merge and give a third vibrational energy as an end result.
Ask a crystal healer and they will tell you that each crystal vibrates at its own frequency and that the resonance of these vibrating waves are able to have an effect by vibrating in our own energy field. This will vary according to what kind of vibration each stone has and our own vibrational energy.
Not only does each one of us have our own vibrating electromagnetic energy, but we come in many different vibrations too. Some of us have calm energy and some of us have a high and vibrant pulsing energy and of course there is everything in between! So from a crystal healer’s point of view, they will pick one or more crystals to spiritually heal at whatever vibrational level is thought to be required. They believe that the resonance of these crystals will electromagnetically calm, stimulate or excite the particular aspect or area that they feel could benefit from the impetus of this extra energy.
A crystal healer can offer you guidance on various crystals for different uses. The best way to test anything is of course to go hands on and try things yourself. A visit to a crystal shop, or to a mind, body and spirit fair, where you can pick up various crystals and see if you can feel their vibrational energy can be an interesting experience, with different people picking up different sensations from different stones. If you go and do this, maybe you too will feel the tingling of a particular crystal, or the deep pulsing energy of another and will be drawn to this stone. And who knows, maybe, like some of the psychics on our show, this crystal will turn into your own, very special, little friend too!
