Although the origins of crystal healing are shrouded in the mists of time, it is believed that the ancient Egyptians, Indians and Chinese used it widely to heal many diseases and restore the balance in the human body. This has been substantiated by discoveries such as jade amulets being found in Egyptian tombs. Some Hawaiian islanders still use crystals for healing even today.

Crystal healing is said to release, and clear the body off, negative energy in order to enhance healing energy. Many people are getting disillusioned these days with conventional medicine and are willing to try alternative techniques such as crystal healing.

Crystals are considered an alternative healing therapy and are to be found in varying colors, sizes, shapes and compositions, such as quartz crystals. Every crystal resonates with a unique vibration, and its qualities are influenced by the color frequency it emits, its geometry and mineral content. Crystals are considered an effective, natural solution for health issues, by treating ailments and energizing your body. They help strengthen your body and resolve deep rooted issues. The crystals’ vibrational rates are said to influence that of your aura.

Healing crystals come in a wide variety of qualities hence it is very important o ensure that only the best quality stones are used. You need to buy them from a reliable source that will only give you genuine stones and not fake glass look-alikes. The stones should not be dyed, nor have cracks or inclusions. One method of checking for dyed stones is to see if the cracks are darker than the stone. Healing crystals can be worn round the neck on silk, thereby avoiding metal that can slow down the healing process.

However, most healing practitioners would place the healing crystals on various areas of your body that correspond to different chakras, thereby creating an energy grid. This is said to clear blocks in your aura and surrounds your body with energy that heals you. The stones are chosen according to the colors of the corresponding chakras. Since different stones have different qualities, they are selected according to the chakras and the ailments to be treated.

Crystals are also often used at your feet, since it is believed that they can have a ‘grounding’ effect. Or they are some times held in the hands to benefit from the crystal energy that is emitted. Some practitioners also claim that crystal wands are effective tools for harnessing crystal energy and so, they place these wands either close to blocked chakras or somewhere near the body. Wands made of laser quartz crystals are also used by these practitioners to perform psychic surgeries.

Many people carry crystals with them because they believe these crystals offer healing powers where ever they may be. Some even believe that carrying these crystals will serve to create positive energy that could lead to positive events taking place, or result in positive relationships being established.  Although there is very little scientific evidence to support these claims, many people claim to have benefited from crystal healing.
