At its core, crystal healing is a form of mysticism, witchcraft, and occult practices. Most crystal healing is guided to the healer by Spirit – who will tell the healer which crystals will be most effective and the patterns the crystals should be placed on or around the person’s body. The length of time used with the crystals will vary with each patient and healer.

Crystal healing is basically the ‘laying on’ of stones of different vibrational rates onto the body in order to effect healing and change. It may also involve laying out different energy grids or specific patterns of crystals around the body. Crystal healing is used to enhance healing of a wide range of physical and mental ailments. For example, amethyst is said to be useful against acne, atacamite against venereal diseases, agate against ulcers, and lapis lazuli against stroke symptoms

Crystals are used to draw and amplify light and color to the body’s aura, thus raising its vibrational frequency, and facilitate healing. Modern science has proven the existence of the vibrational frequencies of crystals and gemstones known as piezoelectric effects

The argument for crystal healing is based on the idea that everything has a vibration, and as such, the human body responds to these subtle vibrations. This idea extends even further than just the body.

Crystals have a perfect hexagonal molecular structure that causes them to vibrate at a constant rate. This is what makes them such good components in many modern technological items such as watches and computers. These are amazing, deep tones, and you FEEL the vibration flow throughout your whole body. If you have room in your home or office for a BIG bowl, these are a magnificent choice. Some crystal healers claim that each living organism has a “vibrational energy system,” which includes chakras, electromagnetic fields around the body known as auras , subtle bodies and meridians.

When your gemstones and crystals are not being used for healing purposes they should be placed in a secure location away from curious hands. You don’t want the time and energy you placed in the cleansing and charging of them to be neutralized by the energy of other people.
