​Crystals, what are they and how do they work?

8/20/2019

I stand slightly confused and amused at the security check at Srinagar Airport in Kashmir. I watch as a female clerk goes through the stuff in my backpack. She grabs a small turquoise bag, opens it and startles. Judging by her reaction, one might think there was at least a collection of really ugly spiders. She releases the grip on the bag and gestures at the male officer. He peers into the bag and looks at me asking: ”What are these?” The bag is filled with my treasures, all my crystals/stones. I look at the officer smiling: “They're my stones. They bring me good luck.” The officer smiles back at me and says: “Well, if they bring you good luck, then you must keep them.”

Over thousands of years, shamen and medicine people around the world have worked with crystals. Records of their usage go way back over 5000 years in Chinese medicine text, Ayurvedic texts from India, and the Bible, where you can find over 200 references to crystals and their powers.

​Crystals, what are they and how they work?

Stones/crystals are natural solids made from minerals that have formed on the surface of the earth. Their shapes, colors, and sizes vary, and they are believed to carry a million years old energy. There are many explanations for the healing effects of crystals. They heal by working through the energy system, not the physical body. By influencing the energy system, crystals can have healing effects within the physical body.

What is crystal healing?
Crystals channel energy. They can, for example, store and transmit the energy. Crystal healing is about change. Working with crystals can improve your physical and mental health, your emotional well-being, and spiritual growth. They will not do anything that your body wouldn't, but they can speed up the process which would happen anyway. For example, carnelian works well for common colds by easing the symptoms faster, and jade might ease period pains.

The benefits of crystals
​Crystals improve the state of well-being, and reduce or even remove symptoms of disease. They also help to speed up changes in life, and ease healthy lifestyle choices.
    When you begin to work with crystals, you’ll need to choose the one(s) that are right for you. In my experience, you’ll be drawn to the right one. It is the one you are attracted to. It might be the one you see as the pretties one, or interesting somehow, or one that you keep going back to. After selecting crystals, you may discover that they were the most fitting choice, in terms of how they can help you, or someone close to you. 

    Sometimes crystals may be predictive in a way that they can help you with some future problem or issue. And whatever the purpose of the crystals you have chosen, it will be revealed to you, when the time is right.

    One of my latest discoveries drew me like a magnet. Later, I checked what the healing power of that crystal is.  It was Mangano Calcite:
    • The crystal combines gentle love and joy. It also soothes.
    • It activates the same properties in its user.
    • It brings positivity, tolerance, and gentleness towards oneself, like a good friend.
    • Mangano calcite is for forgiveness, and it releases fear and sorrow.
    • It brings love.

    There might also be crystals you aren't at all drawn to, crystals that you don’t like. These crystals might be very helpful too. The reason you don’t like them might be, that they are touching something very deep and uncomfortable inside you, it might be something that you have pushed away for a long time. When you decide to work with crystals you don’t like, they help to lift buried things or feelings to the surface. This can be quite rough, but afterwards, you’ll feel better, or even transformed. 


    Are you familiar with crystals? And, do you believe in their powers?
