Crystal Healing

Many of you might know my story with crystals, my journey with them began at a very young age. I often found myself collecting rocks or semi-precious gemstones. I had a fascination with how they felt and looked. It took many years into my adulthood to understand their healing elements. After facilitating my first crystal workshop in May I decided to compile some questions that I heard often that day.

Do crystals pick you or do you pick your crystals?

This is one question you often hear people going back and forth. I believe if a crystal wants to find their way into your life it will make its way to you. For some we feel a calling, whether we go to a store to purchase them or take one out of your collection. There are people who dream about the crystal they need, either in its direct form, or the colour or energy it provides. Often times we might be gifted a crystal, whether we understand how they work we might feel drawn to carry it or wear the crystal. Allowing the crystal to work with us through out the day.

Do you have to believe in crystals for them to work with you?

Crystals will always be working, but I do believe when we are open to the energy it allows them to work at a deeper level. Imagine a crystal is in your pocket and you are invited it to work with you, its a direct line, a straight road. Now picture one in your purse that was gifted to you, you carry it because you feel complicated but you feel that it's useless and fake. The energy of the crystal is trying to work its way to you but like a maze it is trying to navigate through walls and blocks to find its way to you. They will still work but just work harder to do its job.

How do crystals heal?

Every crystal heals in its own way, with many playing multiple roles. Crystals come from the earth, the earth heals or soothes the soul in different ways. Now some argue that science does not support these healing attributes. I am not here to argue about the science, but I will share one crystal in particular and its metaphysical properties.

If we breakdown Rose Quartz and its' metaphysical properties.

Rose Quartz purifies and opens the heart at all levels to promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace. Calming and reassuring, it helps to comfort in times of grief. Rose Quartz dispels negativity and protects against environmental pollution, replacing it with loving vibes. Rose Quartz works well with childhood trauma, fear and anger. It helps to let go, and deal with negative emotions to start the road to forgiveness and unconditional love. Can be placed anywhere on the body that needs to draw in love, compassion, gentle healing.

Commonly placed on the heart chakra to clear blockages and balance the chakra.

We see that it can be used in various situations to help heal the soul or increase compassion in an environment.

The one point I always like to reinforce there is no right or wrong way to work or connect with crystals. It is a personal and intuitive practice, the words let go and have fun are ringing in my ears.
