In nature there are endless mineral species with beautifully colored intricate crystals. Our modern world would simply not be possible without crystals. From computers to car engines, lasers to space shuttles – all have vital components made from crystals.
Crystal healing has been used for thousands of years. Crystals heal holistically. They work on our emotional, physical, mental and spiritual levels of being. Crystals have a long tradition of being used for crystal healing more info at http://www.crystal-store.biz/crystals/healing-crystals.htm . Each variety of crystal has a unique internal structure, which causes it to resonate at a certain frequency. It is this resonance that is said to give crystals their healing abilities. Applying this resonance in a coherent way can help to restore stability and balance to the bodies energy systems, stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms.
Crystals can be used on the body in several ways. They can be placed on or around the body in a grid formation called a crystal healing net. Crystals work through vibration. When used, crystals re-align the Chakras located within our bodies which in turn re-balances the bio magnetic sheath that surrounds and inter-penetrates our physical body. They can be used in conjunction with the Seven Chakras for chakra balancing.

Crystal healing, as a therapy in itself, may appear to be new, using ideas and methods from many cultures combined together, but the present day interest in crystal healing is simply a continuation of mankind’s fascination with gemstones and minerals. Mother Earth, Gaia, is a living Vibrant Being. She has chakras and an aura. Although a large percentage of the population will be unaware of this, or have other beliefs, it makes everything understandable as we understand the Law of Life, Karma and cause and effects.
They can used during meditation and they can be incorporated into crystal massage and reflexology. Crystals placed around the house, not only look beautiful, but can contribute to the health and harmony of the home. Because of the way crystals vibrate and the individual healing properties they hold, crystals heal holistically. That is to say that they can heal on all levels i.e. our subtle bodies (aura) and our physical body. This can be achieved by just holding the crystal, putting it under our pillow at night, leaving it by our bedside table, carrying it about on our person or by placing it on certain parts of the body.
Crystal healing can help with all sorts of problems whether they be emotional or physical. By placing crystals on blocked chakras they can help eleviate symptomatic problems such as headaches, tiredness, depression, pain and so on, the list is endless. Crystals are also very effective for emotional stress, helping to lift negativity and get rid of that 'heavy' feeling. Lots of people come across the feeling of 'heavyness' during their working day but do not recognise the significance of the fact that we all collect negativity and if this is not off loaded it will effect how we function. Crystals can clear negativity allowing our bodies energy centres to function as they should.
The human race is not separate from the mineral kingdom, for all life has built up using the raw materials of the planet. Any mineral or crystal collection reflects what we have in our bodies – from iron crystals in our blood to minerals that crystallize in our bones. Similarly, the minerals we take as food supplements and the fertilisers we use in our fields and gardens are the same materials that exist in the crystal forms we use as decoration or tools for healing.
Each crystal has within it a Crystal Elemental, a Living Being, and they are helping us to bring light, love and healing into our lives. From a scientific point of view, the different structures of the crystals, i.e. Silicate, Carbonate, etc, have different qualities and work to help us to heal and regenerate our physical and energetic bodies. As we let go and move into a new vibration we learn to trust in the process of life, to heal the pain of the past, to understand our Spiritual Roots and begin to understand the Soul and the path it has chosen to take.
