The Power of Nature – Healing Crystals

Crystals have been used to restore balance and cure ailments since the times of ancient Egypt. The belief is that negative energy is released and cleared through their use. By ridding ourselves of negative energies we assist our bodies in healing.    

    The Facts About Crystal Healing         

  

In addition to records showing the use of crystals in ancient Egypt, records also date back 5,000 years showing their use in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine practices as well. Healing with crystals employs the use of gemstones for healing practices. The stones are placed on “chakras” or energy centers of the body. It is thought to strengthen the body by resolving ailments with various types of crystals which carry different rates of vibration. Due to the varying mineral content available in each type of crystal, each one will provide its own unique vibration. Crystals can be used for healing physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances. In order to use crystals for healing, one can wear them as an accessory, place them around the tub while they bathe or keep them near their bed while asleep.

Crystals – 5 Crystal Formations’ Metaphysical Healing Properties

Crystals are created in many different forms, shapes and sizes. They are sometimes carved into various shapes such as obelisks, spheres and pyramids. In an effort to better educate, re-familiarize myself and connect at a deeper level with the many wonderful gifts from within the Earth, we shall explore or re-discover a few of the many natural and man-made crystal formations.  

*Rainbow Quartz is clear quartz with prisms contained or trapped inside. Rainbows themselves choose which quartz crystals to live within. Sometimes prisms are very tiny, there may be one or several prisms of different sizes, clarity and intensity. There is no doubt you must be open to seeing beyond the surface appearance of a beautiful quartz crystal to see into its depths. Each tiny rainbow contains all the colors of the Rainbow. A rainbow is a cosmic bridge between the physical realm and the Ethereal Realm of Spirit.  

*Tabular Quartz crystals are naturally flat on two sides, being much wider than the other four opposing sides of the crystal which are significantly smaller or very narrow. These incredibly beautifully shaped crystals carry and maintain a very high, intense vibration, serving as bridges or conduits for increasing and intensifying a connection between two people, integrating and balancing Chakra energy centers or connecting two geographical points. A Tabular crystal will assist you in reaching through the veil to thee Angelic Realm, hearing and receiving guidance from your Guardian Angels.  

*Obelisks originated in Ancient Egypt appearing in pairs, generally guarding the entrances to Temples and sacred sites. The Obelisk symbolizes the Egyptian Gods and Goddesses’ descent from the Heavens to the Earthly physical plane. It is a Greek word meaning needle. Needles are typically used to pierce fabric or leather. The intention of the Obelisk is to “pierce” through the realms, the veil which separates humankind from the Gods and Goddesses. It’s carved shaped enables it to pierce or break-up negative energies.  

*Generator crystals Both naturally shaped and carved Generator crystals posses the same unique qualities and may be used to enhance meditation, tools to focus your intentions, intensifying and magnifying energy. All six sides of a crystal come together, forming an apex or point. They are useful tools for increasing energy, magnifying the energies of any and all crystals within a 2foot radius.  

*Clusters are many crystals which have formed one unit or a small city of crystal points. Crystal clusters are gifted to us in many sizes, shapes and a wide variety of quartz crystals to include Amethyst, Calcite Quartz, Citrine, Clear Quartz and Tangerine. Clusters may be used to cleanse and re-charge smaller crystals, to protect your home or office, to raise the vibration in your meditation space.  

The shape of a crystal increases its own natural energy, assisting all who work with crystals to enhance meditation and healing on many levels to include the cellular level. (Terrie Marie Ezine)
