Healing stones are believed to hold energies that promote mental and physical well-being. They’re thought to have benefits for the body ranging from reducing anxiety to strengthening mental strength. Some crystals, like obsidian and jasper, are thought to encourage health while others, such as citrine and rose quartz, are believed to support prosperity and love. While there is no scientific proof of these benefits, many people find them helpful in promoting positive vibes and encouraging a healthier mindset.
While a belief in the power of healing stone energy is relatively new, it’s becoming increasingly popular among many cultures. This is probably due to the fact that, as humans, we are constantly looking for ways to feel better, both physically and emotionally. Whether you believe in the powers of healing crystals or not, there’s no harm in trying them. In fact, there are some scientific studies that suggest that meditating with crystals can reduce stress levels and boost the immune system.
A key aspect of working with healing stone energy is identifying and setting an intention. As every beginner guide to crystals will tell you, this is the most important step because crystals work through energy. They only unleash their healing power when you assign them a purpose and perform a ritual. Intentions can be anything from a specific problem you want to solve to a feeling you hope to cultivate. The key is to be as clear as possible and to use a specific method of communication when setting your intention.
To get started, choose a stone that aligns with your intention. Then, use a cleansing crystal to clear the stone of its negative energy. After this, place your stone in a spot that’s most relevant to your intention. For example, if you’re working on finding love, try placing your stone near a window where it can absorb the sun’s or moonlight’s healing energy. Then, meditate with your stone or perform a healing ritual to charge it with your intention.
Depending on the type of stone you’re using, you may also wish to cleanse it periodically. Most crystals can be cleansed by running water over them or placing them in a container of clean, fresh water. You can also soak them in the light of the full moon or under a star-filled sky. This will clear the stone of any negative energy it’s absorbing and recharge it with fresh, healing energies. For the best results, repeat the same ritual and intention each time you work with your healing stone. This will help you create a solid connection with your stone, so it can effectively bring healing energy into your life.
