Crystals are widely believed to have healing properties that can improve our mental and physical wellbeing, including mood elevation and energy boost. Unfortunately, scientific studies on this topic remain scarce.
Here are a few crystals that may assist with various ailments: Amethyst is known to reduce anxiety and fear; Black Tourmaline protects against negativity; Chrysocolla is useful in alleviating stress, anger and guilt while Jasper promotes motivation.
Physical
Crystals are more than Instagram-worthy props or fancy jewelry pieces; they’re believed to be ancient tools which connect with our inner energies and balance our bodies. Adherents of crystal healing practices believe these minerals emit vibrational frequencies which have beneficial impacts on many aspects of health and wellbeing.
Crystal healing proponents contend that crystals have the power to balance energy systems in the body, allowing positive energies to enter while dispelling negative, disease-inducing ones. Furthermore, they believe crystals may help heal specific organs or chakras in addition to helping balance out systems overall.
Crystal healing properties rely on the piezoelectric effect, in which crystals convert mechanical pressure into electrical energy and use this as fuel for electronics such as quartz watches. But beyond electronic devices like watches, crystal healing extends even further: crystals absorb and magnify vibrational frequencies from our bodies to promote mental, emotional and physical wellbeing; specifically crystals have been said to aid anxiety, insomnia, stress management and digestive disorders.
Mental
Crystals possess numerous magical properties that many believe have healing benefits for the mind. Obsidian is said to protect against negativity while citrine promotes prosperity while rose quartz fosters love.
Some believe that crystals may help with mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression by combining the placebo effect with changes in energetic frequency. Unfortunately, no scientific proof exists to support this belief and crystals should not replace medical care for treating these conditions.
Some stones are said to possess certain healing properties for both mind and emotions, such as charoite which has been proven to transform negative energies into positive feelings such as forgiveness and compassion. Picture jasper is said to help with harmony, proportion and creative visualization as well as being soothing to the brain – it even encourages lucid dreaming! Plus it’s good for heart health, balances masculine/feminine energy balances and unites lovers!
Emotional
Crystals are said to contain vibrations and frequencies that interact with our energy fields, altering our emotional states and even physical health. Their properties largely stem from their molecular composition as they reflect light and transmit energy.
Intention is the cornerstone of mindfulness meditation practices like crystal healing. Many practitioners believe that crystals hold on to our energetic imprint and act as tools for self-healing, providing another form of effective self-healing tools.
Are you seeking emotional healing through crystals? Integrate them into your daily routine! Arrange crystals around your home or office space to promote positivity. Or use them in cleansing rituals like smudging with sage or placing the crystal under moonlight if drawn to one particular crystal – these gems can help bring balance and love in all relationships!
Spiritual
Crystals have long been revered spiritually across cultures. Many believe they contain universal life energy that can benefit one’s mind, body and soul. According to popular belief, crystals absorb and store energy from their environment through millions of years of pressure storage before releasing this stored power as needed for healing or protection purposes.
Some believe that certain stones contain unique frequencies which can promote health or heal ailments, including piezoelectric effect. Healthline reports that different stones have different functions; Agate may balance intestinal bacteria; Citrine can promote creativity; while Amethyst detoxifies livers and kidneys.
While no scientific evidence supports crystals as healers, they may still provide useful tools for relieving stress and anxiety. Saujani suggests combining crystals with meditation, which has proven its positive effects on physical and mental wellbeing; one 2021 study even demonstrated its efficacy at treating military-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
