What is Crystal Healing?
Crystals are often referred to as semi-precious stones. They
are undoubtedly beautiful, durable and in some cases, quite rare.
Crystal healers believe that these stones emit a constant, positive
energy that has the power to heal physical and emotional trauma
in all living things, making them beneficial to have about you,
whether on display in your home or workplace or carried in a pocket
or a discreet pouch.
The clear quartz crystal is said to the most powerful healing stone
for general wellbeing, whilst other coloured crystals have more
specific uses, for example...
Amethyst
Amethyst is a form of natural quartz that has acquired its colour
through the presence of manganese. The ancient Egyptians used the
stone for carvings and jewellery and the crystal healer uses this
beautiful purple stone to lift tension, migraine and insomnia. Amethysts
are said to have a calming vibration.
Agate
When water containing quartz contains in cavities in rocks it can
sometimes grow and form layers of tiny crystals The presence of
other minerals will influence the colour of the crystals. Iron Oxide
produces Red Jasper which was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans
as ornamentation and was believed to protect against poor eyesight
and drought. The crystal healer uses Blue Lace agate for blockages
in the nervous system and arthritis. The stone is said to have a
soothing vibration.
Citrene
Citrene is a natural form of quartz, acquiring its yellow colouring
from the presence of iron. The name comes from the word citrus.
Citrene is said to promote mental focus, happiness and endurance
and aid the circulation of blood.
Rose Quartz
The colour of the Rose quartz is attributed to the presence of titanium
particles within the crystal. The ancient Romans used rose quartz
as a carved decoration for seals. The crystal healer believes that
rose quartz promotes self-esteem and releases stress and tension
from the body. The stone is said to have a calming, cooling vibration.
Crystal Healers advise that each crystal needs to be kept in
a light, open space and carefully washed in warm water. A stone
that is cared for and cherished will continue to emit healing, positive
energy indefinitely.
