Uses For Crystal Wands

Crystals are believed by many to contain healing powers.


A crystal wand is a crystal that has been carved into or is naturally a long, slender wand shape . Crystals have been used by cultures around the world for their reputed healing and metaphysical properties. Different crystals (or gemstones) are believed to each have their unique effects. Any type of gemstone can be made into a wand, but quartz wands are most popular. A crystal wand is used in healing.


Choosing a Wand


When choosing a wand, let yourself be guided by your intuition. This will allow you to feel which one is right for you. You may build a collection of wands made from various types of gemstones to have a variety on hand for different purposes. It's normal for crystal wands to have minor impurities in the stone, but be wary of any that appear to have large fractures, as these eventually could cause the wand to break.


Recharging


Before use, try cleansing your wand by running water or salt water over it and then leaving it to "recharge" in sunlight.


Energy Healing








When using a crystal wand for energy healing, most people move it slowly over the body and pay attention to how the wand moves and feels. A change in this feeling could indicate blockages. There is no right or wrong way to do this, just be aware of the sensations when the wand moves over healthy areas of the body or aura. You will then be able to detect a blockage or energy disruption.


Rose Quartz


Rose quartz crystals are believed to have properties that protect and enhance the health of mothers in childbirth. They are also considered a healer of emotions and mender of hurting hearts.


Massage Therapy


Rolling crystal wands are tubular-shaped. These are often used in massage therapy to roll out sore areas while contributing their metaphysical properties to energize and heal the body.








Meditation


Many use wands as a meditation aid. By placing the crystal on the third eye area, your meditation may be enhanced. The third eye is, essentially, your brain's pineal gland, which is associated with the body's purported psychic abilities or "sixth sense."
