Introduction to Crystal Healing

What are Crystals?
"Oh it's just a rock!" Some might say, but if that's how you feel about Crystals then you have no idea how wrong you are. Crystals are a mineral that is formed underground and they are basically a well established batch of atoms. They are solids that are formed by a repeating pattern of molecules connected together. The repeating chemical structure of a crystal means they are able to hold onto energies as if they have some kind of memory. Crystals form in all different shapes and sizes and for people who used Crystals for healing the shape can be quite important. Due to the molecules of a Crystal they all have a frequency which they vibrate at - It is this energy which is used during Crystal Healing.

Ways to use Crystals
There are so many different ways to use Crystals so I'm going to give you a couple ideas and if you want to try you can look them up or send me a message, I'm always happy to help :)

  • Use Crystals as Decorations - They are super pretty, so why not? They look attractive and even if you don't touch them or use them for healing, they will still attract negative energies from you and your home so it's a good idea to learn how to cleanse them! *I will write about this in a later post
  • Hold Crystals during Meditating - This is a great way to use your crystals as they will actually connect with you. Hold your crystal in your left hand and focus on your breathing for 2 minutes - after 2 minutes completely focus all your attention onto the Crystal. Really feel it in your hand - you should start to feel a warmth or a vibration or a feeling that your Crystal is known to emit. 
  • Set intentions for your Crystals - If you would like to feel less nervous at an event, or you want to feel more grateful towards somebody, follow the steps above and ask your crystal for guidance with your situation. Setting intentions is a very powerful tool, for yourself and for your crystal. If you want your crystal to help with a certain thing then you have to let your crystal know what it is you want. 
  • Carry Crystals in your pocket - Always choose the Crystals that choose you. Or that you are attracted to. They will always tell you what they want, and if they or you feel that on a certain day you need some guidance, they will pop out as if they are saying hello. Put these Crystals in your pocket for the day, and every now again just think about them, and what they are for. You have to be aware, and believe in your crystals for them to work at their full potential.
  • Chakra Healing - If you feel off balance, or not grounded, or you feel your attitude is getting agitated, or you are just feeling disconnected, Chakra healing is a great way to bring you back to yourself, and helps with all different life problems.
If this is all a bit confusing - basically everything is made up of energy. Bad thoughts/people vibrate at a low energy. If you learn to raise your vibrations, through Crystal healing, meditation, yoga, eating live food instead of dead food etc.. Then many things in your life will make much more sense, you would be much happier, have less health problems and a better life overall. Positive thoughts are much more powerful than bad ones, so it's really important to always remember to think and feel positive thoughts and emotions.

Lots of people try to raise their vibrations so that they can decalcify their Pineal gland or third eye, allowing them to be more spiritual and understand things on a much deeper level. Some people try and raise their vibration because they believe that their higher self is their better self - which is most defiantly true! An amazing way to increase your vibration is grounding - Take your shoes off and stand on the bare earth, feel the earths vibration upon your feet and imaging it coming into your body, aligning your vibration to its own. You can also wake up really early and sun gaze which is also known to have lots of benefits. 

Different types of Crystals
There are hundreds of types of Crystals, but most beginners start using roughly the same stones. Here are some great examples of Crystals to begin with if you are interesting in getting some of your own.

This one isn't necessarily popular with beginners, but I love it so I wanted to include it :)  These Crystals are stones of healing, recovery, communicating and even development of physic powers such as telepathy. It has the power to get rid of negative energies that are sticking to you, and its extremely powerful for emotional guidance. This stone helps you to see things from a different perspective, stay calm during heightened environments. It helps you to understand and to be able to say what's on your mind.

One of the most powerful stones for overall cleansing as it absorbed and neutralises negative energies and stress from you and your home. It's a stone of protection and can relieve tension.
