Crystal therapy: how it works, what it’s for and benefits |

Stones and crystals work as energy amplifiers: their strength lies in their ability to amplify and direct our own powers. Therefore, the most important thing in crystal therapy it is to be able to tune our vibrations with those of these stones, improving and perfecting our energies.

With continuous work, we bring to our benefit the practice of vibrating in resonance with the frequencial characteristics of the stones and crystals that we are in need of.

As soon as we become aware of our internal processes, we participate more consciously and actively in them. We achieve more balance, harmony and inner fulfillment. In this article, you will learn more about the use of crystals for everyday life and its benefits.

By working through the imbalances and understanding why we got into them, we can become more alert and aware when these processes recur. Thus, we can choose differently and break the pattern that triggers them.

Therapy with crystals and stones is energetic and focused on you, harmony and balance. It can help in everyday situations, as the diversity of conflicts, imbalances and problematic circumstances in our daily lives is immense.

Sometimes, the support we need to transform this moment of crisis into learning and evolution comes from outside help. This is the help that objective Holistic Therapy provides us with the combination of techniques with energetic stones and crystals.

A path of balance between our inner truth, our essence and our personality and everyday life.

This type of therapy has as its goal the awareness of what is important for our essence, the relationship with the “Higher Self”, the satisfaction of the soul, what is within our reach and what we can do better, in addition to helping us to deal with conflicts around, for example in the family and at work.

It also helps us to eliminate and deal with hurts and anger, soften moments of insecurity, offer an extra dose of self-love and self-confidence, bring more mental tranquility and clarity of vision.

Several alternative therapy techniques with crystals are made from the combination of knowledge of the stones with practices that help to work on deep, delicate and difficult issues, such as: Reiki (Reikristal), Puncture (Cristalopuncture), Massage Therapy and Energy Harmonization (stones and crystals in the Chakras).

Each of these techniques is special and extremely effective. The choice of the “best” technique, for that specific person and at their moment in life, is made through an analysis by a professional. The ideal is to identify the energy imbalances that are acting at the moment and in which fields (energetic, emotional, mental and physical).

After that, it is decided which technique works most effectively on a given person. That is, there is a best technique for a person at a given time, but there is no technique that is better than the other.

How to use stones: know the main crystals

Amethyst: The frequency of this stone vibrates wisdom with humility. It can be used in moments of tension and anxiety to calm us down. Citrine: has solar energy, which stimulates activity and helps us in times when we need to get out of inertia. Use the stone to take the “first step” you need. Obsidian: Takes you out of your comfort zone. It has an energy that detects exactly what is hindering our growth. Orgonite: object that helps remove stagnant energy from the environment. Its main objective is transmutation. Onyx stone: cleans the energy field and brings the security of being comfortable anywhere. It’s like a best friend by your side. Turquoise stone: offers calm and well-being. Combats anxiety and can alleviate difficulty sleeping, nervous excitement and negativism. Pyrite: Known as the stone of prosperity. It can be placed on the work table or in a prominent place in the office. Rose Quartz: known as the stone of love, it helps to dissolve the accumulated loads in the heart that prevent giving and receiving affection.

Stones and crystals can be used in many ways in everyday life. The type of use depends on the person, but the easiest and most effective way to work with this therapy is by placing the stones and crystals on the Chakras.

On specific occasions, you can also carry the stone inside your pocket or purse, hold it when you feel the need, have it close to where you spend the most time (office, bedside, etc.) or use an accessory with the stone.

Therefore, choose the form of use that you will really put into practice and that will help you connect with the necessary energy and intention.

Cleaning

When it comes to cleaning, it’s always good to use common sense. If you found, won or bought a stone or crystal, the first thing to do is clean it!

When we find these gifts in nature, there are certainly materials stuck to them. When buying or receiving a stone or crystal, imagine how many hands and places it has passed in the last millennia.

The “traditional” cleaning of any stone has always been done in a very simple way by the most diverse cultures and peoples. That is, just leave the stones exposed to the sun for a few hours, whether for personal or professional use.

To remove dirt or materials stuck to the stone, use a cotton cloth or soft bristle brush. Cleaning with water is recommended for stones and crystals with a higher density, that is, those that do not dissolve easily. If this is the case, use running water — the more natural the better.

After that, do the energizing that is most in tune with your stone and you.

Energization

Energizing stones and crystals can be done by sunlight or moonlight, by fire, earth, storm, rain, waterfall or sea.

The best form of energizing will depend on the type of energy most conducive to the stones and/or the work that will be developed with them.

For example: to deal with apathy, it would be appropriate to place the stone to be used next to the fire, or even, depending on the stone, burn it for a few seconds. If this is not possible, leave the stone to absorb sunlight for a few hours.

If the search is for greater receptivity, it is appropriate to use moonlight, a symbol of the feminine/receptive. If the search is for anchoring and security, nothing better than leaving the stone in contact with the earth.

Using these associations, together with the knowledge of the stones, the therapeutic work with stones and crystals becomes more efficient and adequate to the needs of the moment. The holistic view and relationships between energy patterns with emotional and everyday ones is something to look for in a crystal therapy course.
