A look at why I use crystals in my healing sessions
When I facilitate an Alchemical Alignment or Past Life Discovery session with a client, I ask that he/she lightly hold a certain crystal in each hand. I am often asked, “What is the purpose of this practice?”
To answer this question, I must first explain that the healing modality I employ is based upon what I term energetic (or vibrational) medicine. These treatments involve working at the level of the client’s energetic body, which is essentially the invisible field that extends out beyond the physical skin barrier. I work to clear blockages, bring old trauma signatures to the surface and instill a sense of energetic balance and alignment. I have found crystals to be instrumental in promoting subtle shifts in the energy channels of the body.
How does this work exactly?
I love answering this question as it requires an explanation that brings together the scientific and metaphysical worlds.
Every organic substance on Earth has a unique energetic vibration called an Individual Base Resonance Frequency, which we can measure scientifically in units called Hertz. A crystal’s Individual Base Resonance Frequency will depend upon its unique molecular structure, size and density but it will remain constant across time. The human body also produces an Individual Base Resonance Frequency but it is always shifting due to the individual’s mood, health, stress levels and environment. We are able to utilize the crystal’s strong and constant vibration to influence the human’s Base Resonance Frequency by drawing the weakened or inconsistent vibration of the client’s energy body into its own steady rhythm to match that of the crystal. Different crystals emit different frequencies which correspond to certain and specific portions of our energy body, chakra system and meridian channels.
How is this possible?
Crystals resonate with the human body for two main reasons:
1. We are essentially a giant biological battery. Each cell in our body is designed to produce substantial amounts of energy in the form of electrical pulses.
2. Many parts of our body (our bones, teeth and DNA) are crystalline in structure that is very similar on a cellular level to crystals.
Quartz crystals are unique due to their piezo-electric properties. This means, when stimulated, a quartz crystal is able to transmute energy from one form to another. For example, if we were to compress a quartz crystal it would generate a tiny but measurable electrical current. The opposite is also true: if we pass electricity through quartz it will vibrate at a precise frequency. Put simply, piezo-electric technology uses crystals to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy or vice-versa. In fact, people who are sensitive to energy can actually feel a pulse with their bare hands when they hold a crystal.
For many years, scientists have harnessed and amplified the energy of quartz for use in many modern technologies and to power equipment. Some commonly used items that rely on the incredible piezo-electric properties of quartz include: microphones, microchips, ultrasound, sonar technologies and LCD screens.
When selecting a crystal for your own personal use, it is important to consider the following two factors:
1. Was your eye immediately drawn to it?
2. Does it “feel right” energetically when you hold it, or does it feel uncomfortable?
It is critical that you rely upon your own innate intuition when selecting the crystal that you will work with. Notice if the subtle energetic vibration of the crystal feels like a match with your energetic body. The more attuned you are to your crystals, the more powerful they will be in your healing journey.
It is also important to purchase your crystals from a reputable source, which can be tricky if you are buying online. Here are a few vendors whom I trust implicitly to provide authentic, sustainably sourced and unique crystals. All have incredible customer service too, which for me is a welcome bonus!
