A HISTORY OF CRYSTALS & THEIR USES
Crystals
and other gemstones have been used in healing by many different cultures and
civilizations for many thousands
of years. In ancient Egypt the healing properties were renown, the Egyptians
would grind down crystals
and drink them for their "magical" healing properties, as would the
people of the Roman empire who also
made goblets and other artifacts using gemstones.
What's
the magic secret?
There
is no magical secret! Crystals, like everything else on this planet are made of
energy, store energy and conduct
energy.
A
bit scientific
We
understand that everything in existence is made up of the atom. We are made of
atoms, your computer
screen
is made of atoms, and the plants in your garden are made of atoms.
Atoms
are an energy! Atoms react to other energy, for example when subjected to heat,
the atoms in water
turn
the water into steam. Steam is simply water atoms moving or vibrating very
fast, so fast that we find them hard
to see.
Just
because we can't see them, doesn't mean they are not there! It is a fact that
energy can not be created
or destroyed.
Our
energy body
Our
physical bodies are made up of slow moving atoms, around our physical body is
another energy field called
our aura. Our aura is made up of energy vibrating at an extremely fast rate or
frequency.
We
can sometimes feel part of our aura by holding our hand 2-3 inches above our
body and feeling the sensation
of heat. We can feel the heat energy emitting from our body, but we can't see
it.
Energy
enters our body through energy "wheels" called chakras, our energy
body is made up of 7 major chakras,
which each direct energy to different areas of our body, through various
pathways. In crystal healing,therapists often
place crystals on the chakras to stimulate them and promote healing.
Energy
Every
living thing needs energy to survive. Energy is found in heat, food, light, air
etc... However there are
many
other things which can boost the amount of energy that enters our body, as well
as things which can deplete
our energy sources. Have you ever felt very energetic, then spoken to somebody
who has told you their
problems and felt very tired or weak? - that person will have taken some of
your energy!
Having
crystals in our environment, wearing them or carrying them are ways to boost
our energy levels.
Energy
in us, is like petrol in a car, having a "full tank" of energy means
that we can move forward.
Mind,
body and spirit
It
is commonly believed that if we do not have enough energy we become
unwell;
firstly in our mind and then
in our physical body. If we think negative thoughts, or if other people think
badly of us energy is restricted
from
moving through us. If we don't receive the energy we should then a part of us
will not function
properly,
it will then become ill. If we continue to restrict the energy from entering
us, our illness will become
worse.
We can increase the energy we are subject to in many ways, by eating healthily,
drinking healthily,
taking
exercise, thinking positively, spending time with nature, being around positive
people, wearing and being
around crystals....
How
crystals work
Crystals
are a natural product, formed within the earth (or in some cases from outer
space). Crystals each hold
and
conduct their own frequencies of energy, (due to the speed at which the energy
vibrates) This energy is
scientifically
known as electromagnetic energy.
The
different energy frequencies of different crystals effect different parts of
our mind and body.
By
placing that particular crystal in our environment we will naturally take the
energy the crystal conducts and
use
it in our own body. If we are lacking that particular energy then it will fill
our "energy tanks" therefore
helping
to heal any problems which the lack of energy caused. If we have enough of that
kind of energy, then
we simply won't use
it, and it won't effect us in any way. Crystals help us to heal ourselves.
Cleansing
crystals
As
your crystals will be working very hard to increase your energy levels, it is
important to let them have a rest,
to cleanse them, and to let them recharge.
One way to do this is to:
1) Wash the crystal in cold rain water or salt water
2) Leave them on the window sill or outside for 48 hours to
absorb both solar and lunar energies during a full moon in preference.
Try
not to let other people handle your personal crystals, as this will pass their
energies (good & bad) onto them.
If somebody does handle them remember to cleanse and recharge them again.
Using
your crystals
The
easiest way to benefit from your crystals is to wear them. You may also:
•
Bathe with them
•
Carry them in your pocket / purse
•
Mount them in jewellery
•
Keep them on a shelf, on your TV or anywhere in your house or office
•
Give them away - crystals make wonderful gifts
Crystal
facts
•

Crystals will work without you thinking about them
•
Crystals will work without you even believing in them
•
Crystals will work simply by being in the same environment as them
•
Crystals have been, and are used by many different religions and cultures.

For
thousands of years in the cultures of India, Tibet and the eastern world, the
chakras have been acknowledged
as
gateways to our physical and mental health and well-being.
Our
bodies are made up of an electromagnetic energy sometimes known as the aura.
The chakras are responsible
for
directing and distributing this energy throughout our body.
There
are seven main chakra points on our body, each chakra is responsible for
distributing energy to
different
organs, nerves, muscles and other parts of our being.
In
Sanskrit, the ancient Indian language, the word chakra means "wheel"
or "vortex", this is exactly what the
chakras
are, vortexes of energy. The Tibetan cultures and healers saw the chakras as
lotus flowers, each with
a
different number of petals, and each bearing its own ancient symbol, at the
centre of the lotus flower was a
mantra
(a sacred sound). By visualising the lotus flower, its symbol or repeating its
mantra it is possible to
activate
and balance the chakra.
For
our mind and body to function healthily, each of our chakras needs to be
balanced, in other words we
need
to take in as much energy as we need. The amount of energy we take is effected
by our lifestyle, what
we
eat, the amount of exercise we do, stress, smoking, drinking alcohol etc.. If
we lead an unhealthy lifestyle
our
chakras can become blocked, not enough energy will get to parts of our body,
and therefore our body will will become distressed and unwell.
