How and why do crystals heal? It’s not a matter of belief that they will that makes crystals healing. If belief created reality, nobody’s bank account would be overdrawn when they thought it wasn’t! However, our minds are connected to our health, and it’s called the mind-body connection. According to Johns Hopkins University, what this means is “ the belief that the causes, development, and outcomes of a physical illness are determined from the interaction of psychological, social factors, and biological factors.” This boils down to stress. The more stressed you are, the more it weakens your body’s ability to fight disease and heal injuries.
Crystals can be successfully used for stress reduction and emotional balancing which helps keep the body’s natural defenses in tip top shape. This is the simplest way to describe the healing properties of stones. No, crystals won’t make your diabetes go away and they won’t lower your cholesterol. They can’t prevent an asthma attack, and they don’t fix broken bones or sprains. Even though placing a crystal over an injury to “fix it” isn’t how to use stones for healing, they really do work if used properly. Besides just healing, they are used to influence our feelings and attitudes, which in turn influence our behaviors to cause change and progress. Crystals for nearly any purpose can be found, and you can put any energy into any crystal you like.
All crystals are what can be called manifesting crystals, used to create change. While books on crystals healing properties will insist this or that stone is best for this or that purpose, each person is different, and will react differently to each crystal. Cleansing and charging gemstones are skills everybody who uses crystals should learn, and we have a simple guide for how to do that here:How To Use Crystals.
Once you understand how to charge, or place the energy you want into your crystals, and how to remove energy from them, you will be in charge of using your crystals for healing. Practice makes perfect. The more you heal with your crystals, the better you will get at doing it. We all start out as beginners, and each beginner will want to experiment with multiple healing techniques.
