How Crystals Work

In my last blog, Your Seven Main Chakras, I gave you examples of crystals and stones that could help balance out each chakra (energy center) to improve your energy flow and possibly your overall health. But why is it that crystals and stones can help your energy? Why does laying a crystal on your body make any kind of difference? It's not just magic and the reason is actually rooted in science.

We already learned that you are made up of energy. Even though they are nonliving, crystals are also made up of energy. Our human bodies and crystals are actually made up of the same thing, and that is atoms. These atoms are mostly space and energy. The only difference between us is the arrangement and number of atoms that creates different structures and substances. So it already makes a little more sense that the crystals can have an affect on us because we are all made of the same stuff, right?

Crystal Structure Example

A big difference between us and crystals is our structure. Crystals are about as close to perfect as you can get. They have a very specific, repeating molecular pattern. Because of this near perfect structure, they give off a very stable vibration/energy. Every single crystal will have a slightly different vibration, but crystals of the same type will have very similar energy. This slight variation in energies is due to the crystal's size, thickness, color, and composition.

Our bodies, by comparison, are kind of all over the place. To put it frankly, we are definitely not stable, lol. Our structure is not a specific, repeating molecular pattern, so it will not give off a steady energy. In addition, every organ in our body gives off its own vibration. Every energy center gives off its own vibration. And to top it all off, our emotions and thoughts can drastically change our energy. And then when we're sick, things can get thrown off even more. So now you can see why it is so hard to keep ourselves balanced and aligned. We're a bit of a mess! Even the most practiced, spiritually evolved person on the earth would still have to keep working at keeping their energy balanced. We are a constant work in progress and we are never done working on ourselves. That is why energy healing, just like eating healthy and exercising, needs to be a way of life, not just something you do once a year like a check up.

The reason crystals help us is because of their constant steady vibration. A steady vibration has the lowest state of entropy (disorder) so it is easily maintained and resists influences from other sources. It has a stronger, hi-amplitude frequency and that frequency can basically cause the energy around it to fall into sync with it.

Over time, certain crystal frequencies have been matched up to similar energy frequencies given off by the chakras. By using a crystal with a similar energy on or near a chakra point, the crystal's vibration (which is very stable) will cause the energy at our chakra to fall into rhythm with it. This helps to balance the energy at that area. This is why we do a full body chakra balance session with crystals on each main chakra point to balance out all your major energy centers at one time. Then everything will be more in alignment and your energy will flow through your entire body more easily.

I hope this helps you to understand a little bit more about how the crystals work with us and about what is actually happening during a crystal session. It can get very scientific and technical, but I tried to kind of break it down to basics to help it make more sense. Please leave any questions or comments down below and we'll keep on learning and growing together!

Love, Light, and Happiness to you all!

This post was written based on information from my Hibiscus Moon Crystal Academy training and some information from the book "Vibrational Medicine" by Richard Gerber, M.D.. This is a very technical and scientific book, but if you like that sort of thing, it is full of tons of information on all sorts of energy healing topics, not just crystals.
