Crystal Healing
Crystal healing dates back as far as ancient times. The ancient civilizations understood that there are powerful energies surrounding us. Those who were privy to this knowledge thrived. Ancient civilizations practiced crystal healing and benefited from the natural vibrations emitted by crystals. Our ancestors understood, as we are once more beginning to understand, that there is so much more to crystals than just being pretty, colorful stones.

Crystal healing today
The practice did not fully stop – knowledge never does – but let me bring you back to the present, to the crystal healing comeback. It was not until the dawn of the New Age movement in the early 1980s, that crystal healing made a powerful comeback. Today, crystal healing is one of the most sought-after wellness practices, with its popularity fast expanding across the globe. Once again, humans are returning to the healing energy of the Earth, our host planet, commonly referred to in the loving term of Mother Gaia.
How does crystal healing actually work?
Crystals emit energy at set outputs that remain constant, meaning it does not change. The human body consists largely of water. Water is a highly changeable structure. The water in your body absorbs the energy emitted by the crystals, which alters their molecular structure. You may be wondering how it’s possible that the water in your body has so much influence. To explain this, I’d like to discuss how water is affected at a major scale. Let us zoom things out a little bit to something that takes us to what is called the Farmer’s Almanac. Among other things, this almanac outlines moon cycles, which serves as a valuable guide for those who follow a nature-aligned planting regime. So, clearly, the moon has influence over a lot of natural occurrences, and water is no different. On a larger scale, water is affected by the moon and sun’s cycles. Whilst both the moon and the sun affect the larger masses of water on Earth, the moon plays a larger part. This is particularly evident in what is referred to as the tidal force of the oceans, which causes low tide and high tide, as well as much higher tides during full moon as opposed to times when we see a lot less moon from our planet Earth view.
Benefits of Crystal Healing
Humans are greatly affected by crystals, and crystal healing has many benefits.
Here are a few of them:
• Creating life stability and peace of mind
• Unlocking creativity and the courage to stand in your power
• Embracing your birthright potential and expressing your power
• Achieving inner harmony by balancing your mind, body, and spirit
• Expressing clear communication
• Empowering self-expression that benefits others and encourages teamwork
• Trauma release, inner child healing, and working through grief in healthy ways
• Relief from depression and emotional baggage
• Relief from physical pain
Different types of healing crystals
​
Clear quartz
This white crystal is considered a “master healer.” It’s said to amplify energy by absorbing, storing, releasing, and regulating it. It’s also said to aid concentration and memory. Physically, clear crystals are claimed to help stimulate the immune system and balance out your entire body. This stone is often paired with others like rose quartz to aid and enhance their abilities.
Rose quartz
Just as the color may suggest, this pink stone is all about love. It’s said to help restore trust and harmony in all different kinds of relationships while improving their close connections. It’s also claimed to help provide comfort and calm during times of grief.
It isn’t all about other people, though. Rose quartz is said to also encourage love, respect, trust, and worth within one’s self — something we could all use in this day and age.
Jasper
This smooth crystal is known as the “supreme nurturer.” It’s said to empower the spirit and support you through times of stress by preparing you to fully “show up.” It’s claimed to protect you from and absorb negative vibes while promoting courage, quick thinking, and confidence. These are traits that are extra helpful when tackling important issues — which is exactly what this stone may be good for.
Obsidian
An intensely protective stone, obsidian is said to help form a shield against physical and emotional negativity. It’s also said to help get rid of emotional blockage and promote qualities of strength, clarity, and compassion to help find your true sense of self. For your physical body, it may aid in digestion and detoxification while potentially helping reduce pain and cramps.

Energy Balancing Components
Chakras
Our chakras are the body’s natural energy centers. Chakras can become blocked. Unblocking your chakras is one form of energy balancing, tying us into the theme of this lesson.
Aura
Whereas the chakras are the energy field within the body, the aura is the energy sphere surrounding it. The aura is not separate from you, though. In fact, it is very much part of you. The human body is the physical expression of your aura. A cleansed aura returns your mind, body, and spirit to optimum functionality. Just like balanced chakras, cleansing the aura is a form of energy balancing.

Crystals and energy balancing
Through balancing your chakras and cleansing your aura, your mood is automatically elevated. This is beneficial to your mental state, central nervous system, and overall bodily health. You did the visualization in lesson 2 without crystals, which can prove to you that the capacity to feel a state of balance is natural to you without external resources. But, of course, crystals are an extremely beneficial tool in energy balancing practice. Consider dialysis – the process of moving toxins from the blood. Think of crystal healing as a dialysis for your holistic wellbeing. Whereas dialysis filters and purifies the blood, crystal healing filters out energetic debris that blocks the optimum flow of your chakras and the shield of light surrounding your body, the aura. By filtering out this energetic debris, crystals help you achieve a state of energetic balance.

Signs of balanced energy
Have you ever encountered someone who simply glows? Someone who radiates a sort of magic that can only come from a balanced mind, body, and soul? But let’s put magic and glowing aside to discuss some more concrete signs of balanced energy. A person with consistently balanced energy may see signs of improved health. They experience less anger and frustration. They are to a large extent unaffected by adversity. They are not prepared to give up their own peace of mind easily. Of course, it’s human nature to ‘lose our cool’ sometimes, but if they do, they effortlessly reattain their inner balance without uncalled for drama. Someone with balanced energy may even effortlessly attract a lot of their desires into their life, whether this is in the form of tangible objects or intangible relationships and experiences. You may be wondering how this glowing, magical person has attained this state of balance. It’s quite possible that this balanced person had been attending crystal healing sessions or did several guided visualizations for energy balancing. But maybe this person was simply in love. Maybe they had just received amazing news. Maybe they had been following a particularly healthy diet for a while and we're finally starting to feel the benefits. Energetic balance is not just felt by the yogis, the spiritual seekers, and the free-spirited hippies of the world. Energetic balance is frequently felt by just about everyone. But what crystal healing allows us is the opportunity to create this balance for ourselves without having to wait for good news or romance to fall into our laps. Crystal healing acknowledges the power to attain balance that resides within us all, regardless of our external environments. Isn’t it empowering to know that there is a tool that can help you manipulate your energy in ways that will turn you into this glowing, magical person?

Signs of unbalanced energy
But let’s not forget about the other side of the coin. The dark accompanies the light. How does unbalanced energy look? Have you ever heard of the expression, ‘to have a dark cloud hanging over your head’? Truly, this expression is the perfect description of a person with unbalanced energy. Perhaps you’ve felt this way before – most of us have.
Tarot Reader
We will start your reading with me asking if there are any areas you would like for me to specifically focus on and go from there. The way my readings work is, as I shuffle the deck, the cards come flying out of my deck, so I do not choose the cards. Spirit seems to choose them for me! I interpret the cards based on both the traditional meanings but also specific messages I get from spirit (this is intuitive) and depending on the other cards that fall out.

CAN TAROT CARDS PREDICT THE FUTURE? IS A TAROT CARD READING ACCURATE?
Yes! Those predictions can be the most fun part for both the reader and the client. While those are the best, it is the empowerment and counsel we provide the clients that make us happy to do what we do!
My readings and many others are accurate. Sometimes I scare myself with how accurate they can be! However, because of free will and timelines, things can change so it’s important to get regular readings!
Besides these, you might like to know that research has suggested that tarot card reading may provide therapeutic value in counseling and therapy.
You can learn more about your current situation or even life path— past, present, and future it can uncover new information and empower people towards a path of healing.
