How do crystals work?

How do crystals work? This is a common question and doesn’t have a definitive answer, as there a multiple possibilities. Here we take a look at how healing crystals could be working.

Crystals have been evidenced as used for healing since before 4000 BCE, dating back to the ancient Sumerians in Mesopotamia. Although it is not clear for certain how they work, we can understand through science the various ways they could be working.

Firstly, many crystals contain traces of therapeutic minerals that pass across the skin barrier to bring about physiological changes in the body, such as lithium and copper. Yet it is also believed that a crystal has power to generate light, which then interacts with the cells of the physical body too. We also know that crystals have an energy field that reacts with other energies around it. This interaction can be photographed with a Kirlian camera, as crystal energy responds to human energy, and human energy responds to crystal energy! Crystals have organised and orderly molecular structures with each molecule vibrating at the same rate as all the others. Due to this, Each crystal type has its own fundamental frequency.

 Every atom of every matter on earth contains energy, including us. A matter's type and identity depends on it's vibrational frequency and the way molecules are structured. Emotions, thoughts and physiological processes all run on vibrations. Therefore, when crystal energy is shaped, amplified and discharged from a crystal’s termination, it sends a rhythmic, pulsing pattern like ripples in a pond, The basic template can be modified or directed by other energy, such as magnetism, colour waves, intention or the power of thought, passing through it. They all interact with one another. The shape of the crystal, any coating put on it to amplify it's energy, and the energy of those who have handled it on it's journey will all effect the way these waves are distributed. This is one reason why cleansing and charging your crystals regularly and before first use is so important. You don't want to be working with any energy the crystal may have collected over time.
