Crystals have become a trendy wellness trend and have attracted both believers and skeptics. While we cannot be certain whether crystals actually possess healing powers, they provide us with an opportunity to access our intuition and find peace.

Energy is what allows us to do work, such as heating up an item with thermal energy or healing ourselves with crystals that supposedly contain spiritual energies which heal both body and mind.

Physical Benefits

Stones can help balance and energize our bodies’ energies, leaving us feeling rejuvenated and balanced. Each crystal possesses its own vibrational frequency and healing properties; for instance citrine is believed to bring positivity while amethyst offers tranquillity.

Furthermore, various crystals are said to help alleviate physical ailments, including anxiety and stress relief, such as onyx. Hematite can absorb electromagnetic rays produced by electronic devices like your cell phone or laptop and help absorb electromagnetic fields emitted by them. Furthermore, some crystals are even sold commercially as health aids such as lepidolite – an anxiety-reducing purple crystal filled with lithium that’s excellent at soothing anxieties.

To maximize its powers, a crystal must first be cleansed and charged. Furthermore, setting an intention for it by setting your goal and repeating it aloud is also key in activating its powers.

Mental Benefits

Crystals have long been considered beneficial to mental health, particularly by helping to ground people and alleviate anxiety or depression resulting from stress-induced conditions such as anxiety or depression.

Although there is no scientific proof that crystals possess healing powers for the mind, they can still be helpful tools in alleviating anxiety and depression. The placebo effect may play a part in this phenomenon: believing something will improve symptoms makes you feel better overall.

Crystals like Amethyst and Smoky Quartz can help promote relaxation. Some practitioners suggest placing these in the home or workplace for maximum effect, or using them during meditation practice; such as carrying around a tumbled Amethyst tumble in your pocket or keeping a Tiger’s Eye sphere, tower or heart near you in order to stay grounded and focused in the present moment – especially helpful if experiencing chronically high stress levels or post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Spiritual Benefits

Crystals emit vibrational frequencies that boost your energy and help you feel more grounded and connected, according to Kristen Blythe of Rooted Wisdom Holistic Life Coaching. “Crystals can have an incredible ability to shift our perception and provide us with a clearer sense of who we are as individuals,” according to her spiritual coaching practices.

Scientists recently conducted a study and discovered that participants who held either real or fake crystals were twice as likely to report positive effects compared to those who didn’t hold any crystals, with stronger feelings of well-being and greater overall calmness reported among this cohort. Researchers speculated these feelings might be the result of placebo effects; simply believing in crystal healing is enough to reap their rewards.

Experts advise cleansing and charging crystals before use to maximize their potential. One effective method of doing so is placing them in sunlight to revitalize their energies, followed by spending some time quietly connecting to its energy by sitting with it and connecting to its pulse – eventually this connection will become intuitive over time.

Emotional Benefits

Crystals are often believed to interact with our energy field and facilitate emotional healing. Some crystals may help alleviate stress while others aid concentration and creativity.

Citrine is well known to amplify self-love and foster positivity within the home, while rose quartz brings peace and gentleness into any setting. Finally, unakite helps us let go of old emotions or traumas more easily.

Crystals may make attractive social media props and jewelry pieces, but it’s important to remember they shouldn’t replace professional mental health treatments or practices such as yoga and other forms of healing modalities. But they may be an invaluable addition to your overall wellness regime and complement other healing modalities.

When choosing a crystal, be sure to tune into their energy. One way of doing this is holding each crystal in your hand and feeling its vibrations; additionally it may help if you research their properties before making your selection.
