The Power of Healing Crystals and Gems

 

 

 

Crystals, gems, and stones not only make fabulous jewelry, but have been sought after and revered for centuries for their healing and some would even say magical properties. The healing powers of gems and crystals have been well documented.

Use of Crystals

Gemstones and crystals are formed by the geologic forces of the earth. Most people know that mollusks such as Oysters produce pearls. But there are other creatures that form pearls and stones within their bodies, known as Mustika Pearls and Bezoar Stones, they have long been sought to be formed into amulets and talismans of great magical and healing powers. Just about every culture on the planet, and all shamanistic rituals, metaphysical, and psychic healing practices, involve the use of crystals and these types of pearls and stones to some extent. Perhaps more so than their alluring beauty, this is why, pearls and gemstones share such preciousness in our collective mind.

Quartz Crystals in particular have long been associated with magical and healing properties. All crystals vibrate at different frequencies due to their crystalline structure. Much like the vibration of a tuning fork can tune into a specific note and harmonize with it; crystals “tune in” to the vibrations of metaphysical and spiritual energies of the universe, and harmonize with them. The harmonics within Quartz give quartz the ability to return balance to unbalanced energy fields.

Just as the tuning fork in our previous analogy can cause the string on a violin to vibrate at the exact same frequency when held next to it, so too can a quartz crystal or a Bezoar healing stone, which shares similar qualities; cause a person’s internal spiritual energy to vibrate at the same metaphysical frequency of the crystal. That is why quartz and Mustika Pearls and Bezoar Stones are particularly effective in helping with emotional disorders. Quartz have also been shown to bring love, peace, and stress relief to those who wear Quartz crystal pendants or other crystal jewelry.

While the healing properties of quartz crystals are well known, they are not the only gems to exhibit crystal healing properties. Crystals of all types have been used to enhance meditation, spiritual ceremonies, and astral projection, as are their mystical brethren the Mustika Pearls and Bezoar Stones. Chakra Crystals and Reiki Crystals are laid on the body during types of massage or bodywork. Healing crystals and healing pearls and stones when placed in bath water or even drinking water have been shown to have therapeutic effects.
