Healing crystals have recently made headlines for being used as decorative water bottles or to promote balance and relaxation, yet what exactly are their uses and can one harness their energy?
Crystals are believed to interact with Chinese concepts of life energy and Hindu or Buddhist concepts of seven chakras – or energy vortices located throughout the body – said to help heal mental, emotional, and spiritual issues.
Clear Quartz
Clear Quartz is often considered to be an exceptional healer. It can treat nearly all ailments while amplifying energy, thoughts and intentions.
Clear Quartz is an incredibly effective stone for amplifying intentions and realizing goals, particularly when used in combination with other crystals like Amethyst or Rose Quartz for emotional healing and spiritual growth. Furthermore, Clear Quartz promotes clarity of thought while improving concentration and memory retention.
Yoga can be an ideal remedy for those struggling with stress, as it helps calm emotions and soothe physical tension. Furthermore, it has also been found to balance hormone levels, alleviate migraines/headaches, ease anxiety/depression symptoms and asthma attacks as well as chronic illnesses such as cancer.
However, crystal healing should never replace professional medical advice from certified health practitioners. When using crystals for health purposes, always source ethically sourced genuine crystals in order to realize any beneficial results.
Moonstone
Crystals have long been popular, but few know their medicinal benefits. Crystals may help boost energy, foster spiritual connection and heal ailments from anxiety to acne and depression.
Moonstone, as its name suggests, is associated with feminine divinity and is said to help balance your hormones and encourage new beginnings. Furthermore, this stone has also been said to boost intuition and promote clarity of thought so you can find what you truly require.
Psychologists and healers recommend placing moonstone under your pillow or holding one while you meditate to promote restful sleep, or holding it during meditation for stress relief. Like all crystals, cleansing and charging them periodically is recommended – either running your crystal under water briefly for several seconds, or setting it near full or waxing moon light is effective in doing this. Moonstone’s soothing properties have long been acknowledged, making it a good astrological talisman for Cancerians, Librans, Capricornians, and Sagittarius zodiac signs respectively.
Bloodstone
Bloodstone (also referred to as Heliotrope or Christ’s Stone) is an eye-catching variety of chalcedony with an arresting appearance characterized by dark green ground color punctuated by flecks and streaks of red. Physically, Bloodstone is said to strengthen vitality by purifying the blood and increasing circulation; additionally it’s believed to enhance immune system function, protecting against diseases and infections.
Emotionally, aromatherapy is believed to have a soothing and balancing effect, helping individuals relax while at the same time building inner strength, resilience, and spiritual growth. Aromatherapy may also increase intuition while inspiring creativity – opening the mind up to divine guidance and inspiration.
Stones like quartz can be invaluable tools in mindfulness and meditation practices, helping users focus their minds while visualizing desired outcomes or repeating affirmations statements. Furthermore, their energy balancing qualities can prove especially helpful in stressful environments.
Citrine
Citrine is known to inspire optimism and foster an abundance of energy. Citrine can amplify goals and intentions while building self-confidence and increasing personal power.
Citrine has long been recognized for its healing properties, such as dispelling negative energy traits such as fear of responsibility and anger, while simultaneously helping overcome depression and increasing immunity.
Integrate citrine crystals into your daily ritual by visualising their radiant energy during meditation. Doing this will help free your mind of distraction and boost positivity.
Citrine crystals can add bright energy and optimism into any room they adorn, providing a great way to boost productivity in the workplace and promote success. You can even charge your citrine by passing it over sound vibrations such as those created by singing bowls or tuning forks; this process is known as “charging”. To maintain vibrant crystal energies it is recommended that they are recharged regularly to maintain vibrant energies.
