Healing Stones & Crystals

Crystals jewelries are among the most elegant, charming and timeless jewelries. But not only are they beautiful, crystals are known to have healing powers too. There are experts who believed that crystals could help in the process of Spiritual healing.

Earliest mention of the healing abilities of crystals can be traced to an influential physicist name Edgar Cayce. Although, there are historical accounts mentioning the use of crystals to heal illnesses in ancient Egypt. The Indian Ayurvedic medicine tradition also uses crystals for healing and treatment. They are even used in the Chinese traditional medicine.

Different crystals have different healing abilities. When crystals are placed in points where the energy is carried out, called chakras, they are believed to have healing effects. They rejuvenate the system and allow the individual to achieve better health and well-being.

Effective crystal healing has three important steps. The first one is the cleansing process. The crystals during this process would try to remove the energy blockages that can be the main cause of the illness. The crystal needs to be in contact with the person who is having the healing process during this time. Every week, the healing crystals need to be placed in direct sunlight. This would cleanse and at the same recharge the crystal’s energy.

The second step would be the harmonizing and integrating process. The changes made in the first step are included in your whole physical, emotional and mental being. There could be some changes on the physical and emotional aspect of the person. Why? Because the toxins are being flushed out of the body.

Stability is the third step. In this step, the changes are accepted by the body and the body slowly becomes stable because of this change. Stabilized body would mean that your body can survive the harsh surroundings and pressure even without your healing crystals. But still, the stabilized stage would wear off and you would need to put on your healing crystals to get back on your feet again.

Not necessarily, although there is some evidence to suggest it can have a healing effect if used correctly. That could be the key, used correctly and maybe that is where the secret lies. Many cultures have used healing stones over the centuries so maybe there is some truth in it. It has been said that stones, rocks, and crystals all have metaphysical healing properties.

Do this several times and the opening and closing of your pores will do wonders. That is why you are likely to see a naked Scandinavian run from a sauna and roll in the snow.
