One of my favorite things to talk about (and shop for) is crystals. I know a lot of people are skeptical about them. I hear “ ThEy ArE jUsT rOcKs” a lot😆 Well they are so much more than that! I wanted to touch on some of the science on how they work in regards to healing and their metaphysical use.
So everything, living and non living, is made up of matter. Matter is 99.99% empty space! What makes up this empty space? ENERGY! This means that everything has an energetic frequency that is given off.
As living beings our frequency and vibration is always up and down due to many factors. The higher your vibration is, the happier and healthier you are. I don't want to get into that too much now though as that will be another post of its own. Now, because crystals are nonliving and made up of set, geometric patterns of molecules, they vibrate at a constant level, unlike us.The more stable a crystal's energy is, the more powerful the vibration is that it gives off.
Basic chakra knowledge is a helpful place to start if you're new to crystals. Some basic ones I would recommend are:
-Quartz - it's considered the universal crystal, you can use it for anything! It can be used as an amplifier when paired with other gems
-Rose quartz - great for self-love and attracting love to you, if you're feeling down this is a good one to carry with you
-Amethyst - great for use when meditating, helps increase your consciousness and has a very high vibration
-Black tourmaline - repels negativity, great for empaths, helps keep you grounded
To get the best use out of a crystal, focus your intent of what you want the gem to do for you. Intent is an extremely powerful thing and when it is paired with a crystal it will strengthen your thoughts and positive energy. They are super easy to use.
