Are the crystals doing the work or is it the crystal healer?

Crystal healing is an alternative healing technique in which crystals and other stones are used to improve ailments and protect against disease, emotional trauma, improve mood, and become more grounded. This idea is not at all popular with doctors because the crystals themselves have no science for actually changing anything or curing ailments. Is there really no way to further prove the case in crystals? Is there any evidence that shows why crystals healing is so popular? Here we will discuss what is known about the science of crystals and how that may give light as to why we are drawn to their power.

How Do Crystals Work?

Belief goes a long way when talking about things we can't see physically with our eyes. We have more control over our emotions, body, and general well being then we can accurately explain. 

The explanation that you are looking for can be found in watches. Crystals are in watches to help keep accurate time. The gears are regulated by a tiny crystal of quartz instead of a swinging pendulum or a moving balance wheel which do to heat and cold or slight gravity change can get off time.Inside a quartz clock or watch, the battery sends electricity to the quartz crystal through an electronic circuit. The quartz crystal oscillates (vibrates back and forth) at a precise frequency: exactly 32768 times each second. The circuit counts the number of vibrations and uses them to generate regular electric pulses, one per second.


The reason all of that is important is that all crystals keep a precise frequency and when held close to our bodies we begin to mimic that frequency. Normally our frequency changes frequently. In simpler terms crystals help us focus. Depending on which crystal or combination of crystals we can achieve a certain vibration that we have learned helps us change our moods or heal in some way. There may be a scientist proving this somewhere right now and maybe we will have an exact way to measure or have a crystal recipe book for healing based on measuring frequency in our bodies. For now, though I hope this helps.

Healers Using Crystals

While crystals have their own abilities for assisting in our auric fields and aiding our own bodies frequencies, Crystal Healers use this knowledge to further healing by placing crystals on specific chakra points in the body. Chakra points can be found along the main meridian of the body from the top of the head down the main vertical line of the body to the groin area called the root chakra. Placing crystals specifically selected based on the ailments or symptoms for the intended recipient on those points is how the healing is achieved. Some healers use a form of healing called Reiki during these sessions to begin the healing and allowing the crystals to do their work. By using Reiki, the practitioner uses what is called life force, or Ki through those chakras to nourish those cells in the body. Our own life force that nourishes our very being can be disrupted by negative thoughts, worry, and general diet and unhealthy behaviors. We have the ability to heal ourselves using our own Ki or life force and some say using a Reiki practitioner is like a placebo effect because we are the ones doing the work. While that is up for debate the outcome is what is important and if healing occurs through crystals, a healing practitioner or just by the very thought of wanting to be better physically and mentally I believe it is a positive encounter or mental state to be in. Thinking positive can only bring a better result!
