Building a strong and healthy body cannot work without a healthy spirit. You may have been struggling with isolation, financial stress, physical discomfort, or other manifestations of energy blockages. If that’s the case, energy healing combined with the right rocks and crystals can have a huge impact on your ability to move forward.
How Do Energy Crystals Heal?
Crystals have an energy all their own. When used on the body, they use that energy to bring the body into healthy alignment. This can mean unblocking energy pathways, such as what occurs when a nerve is irritated. Or, the nerve may not be transmitting information effectively.
Crystals can also be used to unblock emotional energies that are contributing to:
- digestive challenges
- headaches and other forms of tension
- stress related skin inflammation
There are many healing energy crystals, but the primary healing crystal commonly used is clear quartz, as it amplifies the other crystals.
Which Crystals Are Most Effective?
Most healers who use energy crystals and rocks focus on the chakras, otherwise known as the centers of energy and spiritual power of the body. Chakra points live along the spine. Those versed in natural healing energy use the healing crystals that match the color of the chakra.
For example, the chakras, from bottom to top, include:
- Root Chakra
- Sacral Chakra
- Solar Plexus
- Heart Chakra
- Throat Chakra
- Third Eye Chakra
- Crown Chakra
The colors and energy rocks and crystals that correspond to these chakras include, again from bottom to top:
- Red – red jasper
- Orange – carnelian
- Yellow – citrine
- Green – amazonite
- Blue – aquamarine
- Purple – amethyst
- White – white quartz
A healer will place the crystals along the chakras on the spine during a total rebalance of the body’s energy. Some healers find doing a reiki or energy healing session holding just one crystal has benefits as well. During the session, they focus on a particular point of imbalance, physical discomfort, or energetic distress.
Symptoms to Consider
Energy blockage manifestations can occur slowly over time and lead to debilitating health problems. For example, a blockage of the third eye or sixth chakra can lead to
- Terrible dreams
- Sleep anxiety
- Insomnia
- Headaches
One of the energy crystals and rocks associated with the third eye is amethyst, which has high vibrational energy and taps into your intuition. Because the whole body is connected, ignoring your intuition and the power of the gut check can actually contribute to gut problems.
The natural healing energy of citrine, or the stone that is often used to balance the third chakra, offers the power of optimism. For those who love yoga, the third chakra is also the center of our breath. Life is difficult sometimes. If you find you’re getting anxious or distressed, holding onto a citrine crystal and breathing deeply can help you get through those blockages.
Ruby, the red stone, is the color of the root or first chakra. This stone is also tied to sex and sensuality, it makes sense that healing with this stone is an excellent way to overcome challenges of intimacy. Using this stone promotes sexual healing after hurt, abuse, or injury.
Finally, the beautiful moonstone is a white stone that can serve the crown or seventh chakra. This chakra is associated with our most creative and uplifting brain power. The white moonstone is tied to the peace and calm of the moon and can aid in everything from higher thinking to better sleep.
Pairing Crystal Healing With Other Forms of Healing
As noted above, crystals have a vibrational energy that are used realign the vibrational energy of the body. For practitioners who use reiki healing, understanding the flow of energy in the body makes the power of crystal healing all the more intensive and corrective.
Understanding the ebb and flow of energy in a reiki client takes time. It’s important to know which energies have been spent by the client. Having an understanding of what ails them increases the ability of the reiki practitioner to find energy voids, or low spots. These low spots happen by overextension of the client or by blockages in their bodies that lead to these voids.
An overspent client may suffer from:
- Sleeplessness
- A feeling of being trapped
- Hopelessness
- Physical pain
- Skin irritation
If you cannot see a way forward to improve your life, overcome a tough situation, or have hope for your future, your physical health starts to deteriorate. Your body simply cannot function effectively if your energy, heart, and mind are stuck.
Proper energetic alignment can help you live a better life. With this alignment, you may sleep better. When you’re well rested you can rebuild or start an exercise program, or commit to a healthier diet. A skilled energy healer can work with you in person or from a far distance.
