Crystals have energy properties that can work within our own energy systems.
Healing crystals are popular amongst meditation practices. From becoming more involved with understanding meditation, I thought why not find out more about crystals too. After watching one of my favourite YouTubers talk about her experiences with her favourite crystals, I decided to do some research on the attraction towards them, their uses and the history behind them. Up until this point I didn't have any knowledge on crystals. Apart from being aware of their beauty, I didn't realise the symbolic meaning behind them at all.
The most basic explanation I found was that; crystal healing therapy involves placing gemstones on the body to draw out negative energy.
Since becoming more open to this kind of thing, I allowed myself to think deeper about my personal experiences in life and what aspects of it I would ultimately like to work on. This is because, crystals are seen as 'healing tools' and are used to boost our energy system. Believed to help positive healing energy flow through the body, you are supposed to keep these types of rocks close in order to instil a sense of balance in the body and mind. Yes it may sound wack. But we can all confess to holding something close to our hearts that we believe provides good luck. Such like a lucky charm, necklace or even a pair of underwear! (Similar thing- Ish)
It's all about being mindful and open to the idea of personal development and spiritual growth. Me personally, I believe they provide a 'good mood incentive' and are just generally fun to study. However, it's important to choose crystals you are most drawn to. For example, a popular gemstone is the 'Rose Quarts'. This stone is favoured because it relates to love. It is said to be one of the best stones to use for relationship troubles and emotional traumas.
However in more depth, the rose quartz stone meaning is one of unconditional love. The way it facilitates love entering your life is through it’s ability to bring your consciousness to a higher level. Helping you to forgive, understand and see fights or situations from a different perspective, rose quartz healing properties will imbue you with the wisdom to deepen your connection with your partner. I found this on Energy Muse Online which provides detailed explanations of many crystals, so check that out if you'd like to find out more.
Since sparking an interest in crystals, I decide to try some oracle cards. The oracle cards I have are used to channel meaning from crystals. As am I new to this, these easy cards are to play around with. However, the intended use of these cards is to help you learn to become more connected with crystals and to encourage positive energy. Each day you shuffle the card deck and pick the card you are most drawn to, presenting a crystal. Once revealing the particular card, you go about your day as normal but keep in mind your chosen card. Once the day is coming to an end, you reflect upon the day and see what experiences or thoughts and feelings you have had in relation to the card.
