We all know what crystals are don't we?
They are beautiful stones in beautiful colours that have a healing energy to them, right?
But how do they work, what are they made of and what makes them so special?
I love crystals. I love the way they look and their colours and I love the way they feel. I love to just hold a crystal in my hands and feel the shape and texture of it, but have you ever wondered where the energy comes from and how that energy can help with emotional, spiritual and physical problems?
Well, crystals are made from minerals, and they formed deep in the earth as the earth cooled and went through years of geological change. Now when water deep in the earth warms it expands and allows minerals to be dissolved. The minerals are absorbed by the water until no more can be absorbed. When the water cools it frees up the dissolved minerals and crystals begin to form.
Some grew in air bubbles found in volcanic rocks when hot lava ran over the earth and then cooled, and others grew in underground rivers.
Now, it is the way that a crystal is formed that affects the crystal's appearance and its energetic properties. Crystals are made up of layers that are always arranged 1n an organised way and are built up slowly over a long period of time. This formation is made up in a lattice structure and this lattice structure enables an energy field to be created within and around the crystal. It is this energy field that when it enters your aura can change the vibration of your aura slightly to bring healing properties to the body.
Crystals possess a special quality called their Piezoelectric effect. If a crystal is rubbed it builds up a tiny electric charge across the lattices within the crystal. The more it is handled and worked the more the electric charge will be although it is still very small. This makes crystals respond to their owners. As you handle and rub the crystal, your own energy crosses to the crystal. The longer you own your crystal the stronger it becomes. This is what makes crystals different to normal rocks and stones.
Different crystals have a different structure to them giving them a different vibration which makes them good for different things. Crystals come in different colours due to their mineral content. It is a well-known fact that colours vibrate at different frequencies. This energy frequency also plays a part in the healing properties of each crystal.
Crystals channel energy. They can accumulate, hold and transmit energy which can enter 0ur energy systems such as the aura and our chakras to improve our physical and mental health and our emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
