Gemstones: Healing through Gems and Crystals

Gemstones are basically beautiful rocks. They look appealing and quite pretty. When I was a kid, I used to get quite fascinated with these amazing rocks and I loved to explore them, dig them out from beside the river side, and hold them in my hands. I had an assortment and varied collection of various colored stones of different sizes. That time, I used to collect them just for the sake of fun and fascination, but it was in later years only that I became aware of the healing properties of these gems and crystals.

It was after a detailed study and research that I came to know that these pretty rocks and gemstones actually come up with spiritual and healing properties, which can be tapped in distinct ways to attain benefits. A person can either carry crystals with himself in his pocket, or wear it as a pendant, ring, decorative hair clips for various hairstyles or other forms of jewelry, which can add to the beauty as well, apart from getting healing vibrations from them. These crystals, gems and stones, when placed at various parts of bodies can help in balancing the person's energies (chakras and auras).

Crystal Therapy is essentially a form of healing done with the help of crystals by attaining their vibrational energies in an appropriate way. Every type of crystal or stone has its own unique traits and healing properties, which also depend on the shapes, sizes, colors and textures of various gemstones. Crystals and gems when kept soaked in a glass of water can be used to make crystal elixirs. Because of the healing properties of these crystals, they can be used well for the purposes of meditation and divination.

There are various ways in choosing the right crystals for you. One of the simplest ways is to intuitively choose the stone you feel more attracted towards, but it is better to follow expert's advice to go ahead in this process, to avoid any imbalance that may get caused by the wrong choice. Irrespective of that, you need to keep your minds free from any doubts in order to enable the crystal healing to take place for you.

People have various areas and spheres in their lives, which they feel, need some balancing or increase in energy and hence may be interested in choosing a crystal or gem with a certain purpose in mind. In addition to the crystal's size, shape or color, the choice also depends on the person's needs, demands and alignments towards various energies in his life. Following are certain important tips that can help you in choosing an appropriate healing stone for you:

- Vibrational alignment between your energy and crystal's energy: The most vital aspect of the whole crystal selection process is the connection and alignment of the energy of your demand or need and the vibrational energy of the crystal you are going to select. The frequencies are actually decided by the atom movement which keeps on changing, time to time. In our day to day lives, our vibrational frequencies keep on getting altered because of all outside consequences, our thoughts, actions etc. You are into higher vibrational frequencies whenever you feel happiness, joy, contentment, success and peace of mind. Similarly, anxieties, worries, anger, frustration and melancholy bring your frequencies down.

- An appropriate crystal can help you in raising your vibrational frequencies: Once a matching crystal is found, you are now in a process of including crystal's vibrational frequencies to your own. Once you properly enlist the correct matching crystal in your life, you immediately get aligned and inclined towards its energy, thereby making you feel good about the particular aspect of your life, which you wanted to improve. Choosing the right crystal for the right purpose can be extremely advantageous and helpful in helping you raise your energy for a task. But, here is a disclaimer - one must not just rely on the stone to do some kind of miracles in your life. The gems and crystals are just additional healing modes to help you raise your vibration. The ultimate action must be taken and controlled by you only.

1) Appropriately write down your purpose or aspect of life you want to improve.

2) Seek the help of a professional, or do some research to know what types of crystals can suit your demands.

3) Choose the crystal that you feel most inclined towards, get it approved and adjusted (in size and shape) by a professional, and then wear it.

Powerful affirmations also work well with crystal healing. Whenever you are enlisting the areas you want to improve, try to make positive statements about the rectifications you want to happen, instead of using negations. e.g. if you want to get rid of migraine you must write -

"My head is healed and healthy.",

instead of statements like "I do not have migraine anymore".

You must not choose any crystal for the sake of choosing, because if the crystal or gem does not match your vibrational frequency, it may drain you off your energy thereby making you more and more frustrated about a situation. Crystal choice is really crucial and of extreme importance and must be executed with the help of experts and professionals only.
