What is Crystal Healing
Crystal healing has existed since ancient times. It’s one of the primary methods of natural healing with organic, earth-mined crystals. This practice dates back to early Mesopotamian culture, where crystals and gems were used as amulets or for protection.
Crystal healing involves using naturally mined crystals to align the human energy field, utilizing the frequencies emitted by the crystals to heal the energy of our body and the space around us. This practice is used globally across various cultures and does not have any association with any particular culture or religious belief. It is considered an alternative holistic practice.
What are Crystals & How do they work?
Crystals are solid rock forms created from combinations of minerals below the earth’s surface. It can take anywhere from 1,000 to millions of years for a crystal to form. Crystals come in the form of rocks or stones; however, not every rock or stone is a crystal. This is why crystal healers, like me, cringe when people refer to our healing crystals as “stones.”
To understand how they work, let’s first recognize that every object emits an energy force, often referred to as vibrations. The vibrations emitted from healing crystals carry a positive charge, which can correct the vibration charge of our bodies if it is negative or boost the vibration charge if it is already positive.
The human energy field is constantly in a state of flux, looking for stability. Our energy fluctuates with our health, moods, and external environment. Crystals, on the other hand, have stable energy vibrations, providing stability, structure, and calmness to the human energy field. This helps us stay calm, strong, and positive despite our environments.
Each crystal has its own unique healing property, making it special to work with. For example, Rose Quartz is well known for its ability to heal the heart chakra, ushering in love in our lives. Amethyst corresponds to our third eye, strengthening our intuitions and sense of divine intelligence. Black Tourmaline connects to the root chakra, making us stronger in facing our fears.

Based on personal experience and working with over 500 clients over the past 17 years, here are some observed benefits of crystal healing:
- Stress Relief: Improved concentration and focus on tasks, alleviation of symptoms from anxiety and panic.
