Spiritual healers and mystics have used crystals for healing for countless years. Crystal healing can be an effective treatment when used properly, but you want to make sure that you first consult a medical professional for any serious condition or if the condition worsens. Crystals work to heal the physical, spiritual and emotional self. The energies contained within gemstones correspond to the seven energy centers known as chakras throughout the body.
Physical Healing
According to AstrologyZine.com crystals are used to heal the physical body by reducing energy blockages located in the chakras. First, pinpoint the location of your pain or discomfort and the corresponding chakra. See the Resources list at the end of this article for charts that detail the chakras and their connections to various physical structures. For example, if you're having problems with a sore throat or cough, wear a blue crystal such as sodalite or blue lace agate pendant. Meditate with the crystal while focusing its energy into your throat chakra. The associated color of the throat chakra is blue and the blue color of the crystals will help awaken that area of your body and clear it of impurities.
Spiritual Healing
Crystals are wonderful healers of spiritual difficulties. Focus on what spiritual difficulties you are having and connect them to a particular chakra or color. For example, if you are feeling disconnected from the spiritual plane, focus on your crown chakra (a few inches above the top of your head) and surround yourself with violet colored stones linked to that chakra. According to Crystal-Cure.com the crown chakra links the individual to the cosmos, so surrounding yourself with violet crystals such as amethyst and sugilite will increase your sense of connection to your spiritual self.
Emotional Healing
Before using crystals for emotional healing, you should first contemplate the true source of your discomfort. Use a clear crystal quartz initially by meditating with the stone and seeking the source of your emotional pain. Once recognized, focus on the heart chakra which is located in your chest. Using a green crystal such as aventurine, jade, or emerald, meditate on the source of this pain and the freedom you will feel once you let it go. Consider forgiveness of others and of yourself, and most importantly allow the crystal's energies to imbue you with a sense of self-love and self-acceptance.
