What are Healing Crystals?
Crystals amplify and raise energy vibrations, whether the crystal is for you, your environment, your home, your car, or even your pets. They make us more aware and in tune with our own energy & vibration as well as offer the help needed to keep us present in the moment, helping anxiety, stress, or depression, creating positive energy, and eliminating bad energy simultaneously.
In this new modern day and age, distraction is everywhere, and bad energy is among us, this is why crystals are becoming increasingly popular. They help support us when our positive energies are blocked, when we are lacking in strength and energy, feel down, or even need calm and stillness in our lives.
There is evidence to suggest that crystals have been used in healing for around 5,000 years, dating back to the Sumerians and the ancient Egyptians. Nowadays the use of crystal healing is more commonly used in the cultures of Buddhism and Hinduism as they are more in the understanding of ‘chakras’ (the energy centers in our body).
Regardless, of all of the different practices and methods that relate to crystal healing, we have helped you understand more in a beginner-friendly way in which we have assigned the different properties to different types of crystals. The effect of each crystal changes not just with its type but also its shape and how it has been activated and cleansed.
