Willow Healing Matters - It's Crystal Time
Crystals, crystals, crystals. Do they actually work? And if they do, what crystals do I choose. Let's explore this together.
Crystals are a medium of contention amongst many. They have been shared as ‘woo-woo’ but when you start to dive into the properties of crystals, you can fully understand they are able to hold and shift energy. Mother Nature/ Gaia provided us with these amazing ‘rocks’ to help us heal and amplify the power around us.
The energy from crystals comes from the way they are created. They are formed from energy, and any physicist will tell you that energy cannot be destroyed but rather is transferred. This is how different crystals contain different energies and are able to be used for healing purposes.
Let’s look closer at clear quartz as this is a great all rounder and an excellent place to start. It is known as the master healer and has some very cool. properties.
Here are some fun facts about clear quartz:
It is made from silica and usually transparent.
It is piezoelectric - when you strike or compress quartz is creates an electric charge.
It is used in clocks/ timers, radios and even microchips.
It is used in the form of rock in most building projects due to it’s hard nature.
Sand containing quartz is used to make glass.
Throughout many cultures and myhthology you will find tales of quartz being used and valued as a gemstone in a similar way that our current culture values diamonds.
Clear quartz can be used as part of your healing practice:
To amplify energy - charge up those manifestations and intentions by using quartz to help.
To attract positive energy - use clear quartz to help bring the energy you want into your life.
To repel negative energy - as above it will also repel negative enrrgy (this means it can make a great amulet).
To shift energy in painful areas - clear quartz can be left near an injury to help draw our any blocks which may be preventing it from healing.
To clear your mind - you can use clear quartz as a way to help clear thoughts and allow you to focus. This might even mean placing it under your pillow at night.
To balance your crown chakra - clear quartz can be used to help balance the enrgy coming in to the top of your head.
To charge up your bath water - leaving clear quartz in your bath water for 20-30 minutes can help bring in healing energy whilst you are enjoying your bubble bath.
You can use crystals as jewellery, under your pillow, on injuries, around your house, in meditation, in your water, on your altar… the list goes on!
