Crystals
The healing properties, beyond the beauty.
September 2021
Oh those beautiful stones that shine and shimmer. They look so pretty around the house and add a bit of something to any decor. But did you know, they have healing powers on top of their beauty?
To better understand the healing powers of crystals, you need to begin by taking a look at quantum physics. Ultimately, quantum physics explains how everything works, so it's not odd we're going to use this science to explain how crystals have the power to heal.
Quantum Physics and it's connection to ...EVERYTHING
Yes, you can explain the healing power of crystals with science. Many will tell you that there is no scientific evidence, but those are individuals that choose not to see the important connections. I will attempt to break it down so the lay person can understand how this is all possible.
First, remember, we live in a universe that is filled with energy. The planet we live on is a big ball of energy and every single living creature and object on earth is made up of energy. It has been found that all this energy is connected on some level. If you take that a step further, once you understand that energy can be encouraged, formed, expanded (overall altered) by other energy around it, and think about how that might effect humans, you will begin to see the importance of it all. You will begin to understand that everything can either make or break your your health and well being.
As stated in an article in NewScientist "Quantum physics underlies how atoms work, and so why chemistry and biology work as they do. You, me and the gatepost – at some level at least, we’re all dancing to the quantum tune. If you want to explain how electrons move through a computer chip, how photons of light get turned to electrical current in a solar panel or amplify themselves in a laser, or even just how the sun keeps burning, you’ll need to use quantum physics."Read more: https://www.newscientist.com/definition/quantum-physics/#ixzz75m4zueSC
In general terms, everything is made up of energy and this includes humans and crystals. Everything has a natural state that it resonates at. That's not to say that the frequency can't be altered. You absolutely can change frequencies of items both in a positive and negative way.
“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”
Albert Einstein
There have been connections made explaining that items are intertwined. As Einstein was trying to explain in his statement above, you can match frequencies of two or more objects. You could take it a step further and say that thoughts and feelings can even alter the vibrations of living creatures. Once several objects are in the same proximity to one another for a specific amount of time, they all begin to vibrate together at the same frequency. This phenomenon is called spontaneous self-organization. Of course, you must keep in mind that this can have a positive or negative effect on the objects. As an example, if you have five people that are vibrating at one frequency and you introduce two that are resonating at a different rate, its likely all seven will begin to vibrate at the same frequency regardless if it's the appropriate frequency or not.
"An interesting phenomenon occurs when different vibrating things/processes come into proximity: they will often start, after a little time, to vibrate together at the same frequency. They “sync up,” sometimes in ways that can seem mysterious. This is described today as the phenomenon of spontaneous self-organization."

Average Human Frequency Rate:
The whole body: 7.5 Hz (+/- factors, depending on height and weight)
Body torso: 7–13 Hz
Thoracic cavity: 4–6 Hz
One can imagine, if the natural frequency rate of the human body is altered significantly for long periods of time, illness of a physical or mental nature may occur. I believe you could also say that if you introduce frequencies to help bring the body back to an appropriate frequency level, you could heal the body and aid in it's recovery from illness.

Crystals and their Healing Properties
So now that we have laid the groundwork to our discussion of crystals and how they heal us, lets begin our discussion on the healing properties of specific crystals.
My top picks for any healing collection of crystals are the following:
Clear Quartz -
This crystal has been called the "Master Healing Stone". As a universal healer, it links to all chakras to provide balance and harmony. Its ability to be programed for manifestation is unlike any other crystal. By elevating thoughts and perspective, clear quartz will help manifest your intentions like never before. As Einstein stated, ..."Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality." He was essentially speaking of manifestation. Clear Quartz can aid you in this process by assisting with matching frequencies to thoughts, feelings and in turn what you need to make your wildest dreams possible. I have heard both sides of the argument that having clear quarts with you as you sleep to be a good and bad thing. Overall, please be mindful of items that have healing powers and having them in a location in your home that is your sanctuary. These items can either raise your energy and keep you wide awake or aid in relaxing you into a restful sleep. Both can be very useful in the right environment. As a side note, clear quartz can be used in potted plants, as well as gardens outside, to help with growth and healing.
Selenite -
Through clearing energy blockages, Selenite allows for energy fluidity. Its extremely high vibration (second highest vibration (244 Hz) of all natural substances, tested so far. Floods your energy field with the highest vibrations, uplifting your spirit and guiding you to an elevated state of being. Not only does it have this powerful effect on you, but it also has a similar effect on your crystals and your environment. It is particularly good for those who are having issues with sleep. Place this in an area near your bed and you will find you have a more restful sleep. On a side note: everything I've learned about selenite was from a magnificent teacher, Nicki LeMarbre. I attended one of her guided meditations here on Cape Cod where she used selenite sound healing. Her guided meditation helped me to expand on my awakening journey and I will forever be grateful to her. Selenite is one of those amazing crystals that you just can't go wrong with. There are so many healing properties I probably could do a whole post on the subject. If you're looking for a piece of jewelry or looking to just learn more, please be sure to go visit her site.
Amethyst -
The Amethyst crystal properties help to relax your mind, body, and spirit. This calming effect can guide you to return to a state of equilibrium, even if there are external factors disrupting your peace. Not just for immediate relief from high-stress situations, the Amethyst crystal is also ideal for daily energetic maintenance. By working with this stone on a consistent and daily basis, you can begin to build up a stronger sense of self-awareness to acknowledge when you’ve lost touch with your sense of peace, and you’ll be able to re-connect to that state more easily and more quickly every time. Eventually, you may find yourself in noisy, busy, hectic situations but your inner environment is filled with pure peace. This is another great crystal to have by your bedside!
Citrine -
Keeping this stone close will help you keep your environment and your energy feeling sunny and bright. Filled with positive energy, you can more easily connect to your inner light, as well as bring a sense of optimism to your endeavors. It works out problems on both the physical and subtle levels, transforming negative thoughts and feelings into positive ones. Natural Citrine enhances physical stamina and energy, supports the endocrine system, and encourages proper metabolism. It is beneficial for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and may aid in reversing degenerative disease. It is thought to balance the thyroid and assist in decreasing the size of growths. I don't recommend you have this stone in your bedroom. If could cause issues with sleep patterns because of it's energizing effects. As a side note, natural citrine is a pale yellow in color. Any stones being sold as citrine that are a dark amber or orange, this is most likely heat treated amethyst or quartz.
Kyanite -
Kyanite aligns all chakras. It particularly helpful with the throat chakra. It provides balance of yin-yang energy and dispels blockages, moving energy gently through the physical body. Kyanite has a calming effect on the whole being, bringing tranquility. It encourages psychic abilities and communication on all levels. It’s an amazing natural pain reliever and ready to help with everything from lowering blood pressure to sorting inflammation and helping the body fend off all manner of infections. For those who have been forced to deal with some sort of physical trauma in their life, Kyanite can be a stone that beautifully assists recovery. It helps the brain to heal by sharpening the mind. It helps the neural pathways to form, and as it also helps with encouraging good solid sleep and healthy eating patterns. So, make sure to add this to your list of crystals to have in your bedroom.
There are thousands of crystals and each have special properties that can help aid you in healing your mind, body and spirit. You just need to have faith that you will join in the vibration of each crystal and have spontaneous self-organization. You will feel the healing vibrations as you hold them in the palm of your hand. I always recommend that you hold a crystal in your non-dominant hand. This has been found to be your receiving hand. But honestly, just putting them in your pocket or on your skin (yes, the rumors are true, you can stick them in a bra!) will be better than nothing.
Final Notes
I often find people who decide to bring crystals into their life get a bit caught up in when and how to use them based on the guidelines you find around the internet. The number one thing I want you to take away from this post is to not sweat the small stuff when working with crystals. Don't get caught up in the do's and don't so much that you never give them a try. If anything, remember, the beauty of crystals is a very good reason to bring them into your environment. The added health benefits are a bonus! Please also remember to relax and enjoy your journey with these amazing elements that the earth has provided us with. Your intuition will kick in if you just let it happen. Breath, be mindful and just enjoy them. The first step to owning crystals is finding a reliable source. In previous posts I recommended you find a local business to find your crystals. Going into a shop, holding them in your hand and just feeling the energy each stone provides is important. I promise you will be drawn to specific stones each time you go into a shop. What that means is you're connecting with the energy you need to aid in your healing both physically and mentally. That being said, sometimes it's not practical to go into a shop. A great online resource is Energy Muse. They have an online experience to aid you in the selection process that is similar to traditional bricks and mortar shopping. I also recommend when you purchase your crystals, make sure you also buy a selenite charging plate and some sage in the form of a smudge stick. Both of these items are used to clean and recharge your crystals so they are at their optimal health so they can aid you in your healing journey. The local shop or online retailer will have these two items. I also have resources below where you can purchase them.
Now you are ready to begin your amazing journey with crystals. Enjoy them, cherish them and find the beauty, like I have, in each and every stone.
I'm sending each and every one of you PEACE, LOVE and LIGHT. Be well my friends.
