Modern Healing with Ancient Tools: Crystals in the 21st Century
So far, we have always mentioned how crystals have been of great help in healing. In the previous article as well, we spoke about crystals in ancient times. People have been using it as medicine in Ancient China to heal health and mental problems. However, there is no such research available later to prove the same. Even in this 21st century, people have been using crystals for healing purposes. Be it Reiki or a simple Spa treatment, Meditation or Acupuncture, crystals are everywhere as most of the crystals are quite well-known for their calming properties. And, in this hustling life, everyone needs a calm in their chaos.
How Do Crystals Actually Work?
But did you ever wonder how these crystals actually work? Of course it is an intention setting but again things do change because of the scientific properties that the crystal possesses. Also, these crystals are connected to either of our chakras which on using correctly can be activated because of their molecular structure. Since every crystal is different, each crystal has a different atomic structure that helps in generating vibrational energy. Jacques and Pierre Curie in 1880 discovered that crystals like quartz and tourmaline possess piezoelectric effect. This alternatively means that the electrical charges within the crystals are quite balanced if they don’t have that perfect shape. Possibly, that’s one of the major reasons to purchase raw crystal clusters to reap the best benefits.
Explore how crystals interact with your body’s chakras and vibrational energy.
Starting with the root chakra, located between the perineum and the lower spine as it is considered to be the foundational chakra of our entire system. Since this chakra acts as the root of our system, it necessarily needs to be balanced to be in synchronization with other chakras of our body. If the root chakra is blocked, people experience anxiety, fear, fatigue, and digestion problems. So, you can unblock your root chakra using red jasper, hematite and black tourmaline. The use of these crystals for root chakra can promote grounding, stability, and a sense of security.
