Since humans made the first flint arrow and fire strikers, and possibly long before that, crystals and stones have been seen as a source of wonder and in some cases power.
The Egyptian goddess Isis protected the dead with a Carnelian Amulet named Thet. After being soaked in Ankhami flower water, on a Sycamore plinth (a type of tile) and placed on the body of the deceased, Isis would grant the person protection from harm while moving through the afterlife. The stone also appears In Hebrew Mythology; Aaron’s breastplate included a Carnelian stone. Buddhists in China and India created amulets inlaid with Carnelian and other semi-precious stones, ascribing to them powers of protection and utilizing them for many rituals. To this day Carnelian is often suggested as a protective stone
Citrine was gifted to or carried by traders to protect them in there travels, As well as ensure the trip was profitable one. This too carries over to today where we find citrine often suggested to abundance and wealth.
In ancient times the Vikings used Iolite to help in Navigation. A slab of Iolite would be gazed upon to aid direction. This was because Iolite can bear a different hue when viewed at different angles, helping the mariner find north & south. It is also believed to protect for safe journeys. Today Iolite is often recommended as a stone to help one see the path ahead clearly, to promote clarity and aide in changes.
To name but a few of many mystical attributes humans have found in stones since time in memoriam.
Before the age of science and scepticism people knew these pretty coloured rocks had a power and uses all of there own. They found application for them in their day-to-day lives for practical and mystical application.
I take heart and pleasure from the fact that the old wonder and reverence for these little earth treasure’s lives on today in the hearts and minds of us who work with them and even in those who collect them.
According to crystal researcher Marcel Vogel, a senior scientist with IBM for 27 years, "The crystal is a neutral object whose inner structure exhibits a state of perfection and balance. … Like a laser, it radiates energy in a coherent, highly concentrated form, and this energy may be transmitted into objects or people at will. … With proper training, a healer using a crystal can release negative thought forms which have taken shape as disease patterns."
So to cut along story short the reasons crystals are such a useful tool in energy work is because they vibrate. Not only vibrate they can amplify or “mimic” any vibration conducted through them. The mechanical pressure referred to earlier is actually present already in the most common crystal formation. The structure of a quartz crystal was created under pressure. The silicates and minerals contained with in the crystal are pressurized, that’s why crystals are known to shatter when large energies are passed through them or even when left in the heat or the cold.
This is where we come in; when we use a crystal we alter its vibration. We are aware that simple thoughts have vibrations let alone when we focus our will, summon our energy and pass it through the stone. When this occurs we are easily able to create a huge beacon or battery, a continuous vibration of our will or intent.
It then also becomes clear why different properties are attributed to different stones. Not only do we have different materials vibrating at different frequencies we also have color. Again we know that color has a vibration of its own. That is why a pink stone is said to comfort the heart. Pink is thought of as a loving color and I agree pink is a very sweet and caring vibration. So carrying or holding a pink stone is equivalent to being in pink light/energy.
When we interact with the vibration our aura experiences the vibration and we are comforted. I have also found that auras can be a little like tuning forks They will pick up a vibration from their surroundings and if we wish “mimic” it. Energy is magnetic. As soon as we adopt a vibration we attract similarly vibrating energies.
This principle holds true to healing with crystals too and any other application one can think of. It’s a simple case of energy magnetism and complementary vibrations.
So that is the basic theoryon crystal healings and working.
Before I begin to sound too scientific, I must say, I personally believe there is something mystic about minerals. I feel they are a gift from the earth and have power and wisdoms inside them. My explanation that its all subtle little electric pulse, really doesn’t begin to explain why a piece of kyanite is protective or why black tourmaline is can absorb negative energies. Those are just a few of my experiences.
