Crystals can help serve as spiritual power tools to teach us how to bring the mind to a greater sense of peace, the body into a more stable, grounded state, and the spirit into connection with the infinite from which springs all creation. Gemstones can remind us of a higher truth and keep us centered in that light
When we become aware of the qualities of beauty, frequency, and color and their possible uses, stone medicine may help us explore What our current needs are and haw we may transform certain situations by using a stone as a meditative focus and an inspirational power source. Gems and minerals have patterns and pictures on their surface that can transport us to another world, igniting our imagination. They are very tactile and soothing to touch and hold.
The idea of healing with crystals was first popularized in the 1930 when the famous American trance psychic Edgar Cayce claimed that his visions revealed that in the time of Atlantis crystals were used as a source of energy. He even described a crystal capstone on a centrally located pyramid that could power airships. He also mentioned specific stones when prescribing healing protocols for the people he read for.
According to crystal researcher Marcel Vogel, a senior scientist
with IBM for twenty- seven years, 'The crystal is a neutral object whose inner structure exhibits a state of perfection and balance... . late a laser, it radiates energy in a coherent, highly concentrated form, and this energy may be transmitted into objects or people at will. With proper training, a healer using a crystal can release negative thought forms which have taken shape as disease patterns.°
A gemstone or even just a stone becomes a meditative amplifier that can help to transform situations. Stones can keep us centered and reminded of a higher truth. By looking to the mineral kingdom for assistance in the healing preens, we are connecting to tools that enable us to look deeper within in order to obtain an understanding of the cause of the distress that is creating disease. Distress can be caused by negative beliefs, by environmental factors, or by interactions with other people, which can sometimes create havoc in our energy field. When we consume alcohol or drags, we can also affect our energy fields and cause a disruption in our vibrations.
Always remember that crystal healing should be used in conjunction with—and not as a substitute for—conventional medicine. There are many factors that contribute to well- being. Illnesses need to be tended to by a trusted physician. However, stress and distress can also have a profound effect on heath. All thoughts and actions have consequences, creating harmony or disharmony. Disharmony can cause illness. Working with ritual and with healing rods and crystals can help you to create harmony, handle your stress, and feel better.
Your healing stones offer a beautiful stability and can help you focus on your strengths so that you can use them to compensate for your weaknesses. When we use crystals or stones as healing tools, they have the ability to re-balance a disruptive vibration so that we can be aware of the reason behind the distress.
