A crystal is a solid body with a geometrically regular shape. There are seven crystal systems to which crystals can be put in, for example fluorite is put into the cubic system. If you look closely at rough fluorite crystals they are cubic in shape. This shape is not cut but forms naturally with the growing of the crystal. Pyrite is another good example of the cubic system.
Crystals vary in colour because certain minerals present in the forming of the crystals will determine its final colour. For example, malachite is a beautiful dark green crystal and the high copper content is what gives this crystal its beautiful green colouring.
Each crystal also has an energetic vibration. The energy of a crystal again varies depending on what type of crystal it is. Citrine is a yellow crystal and when we look at the colour yellow we feel happier and energised. Citrine’s energy also is light, positive and energises us, allowing us to feel more positive and recharging our zest for life on all levels. Darker crystals such as obsidian, bloodstone (heliotrope), brown jaspers and black tourmaline have a slower, grounding vibration and so when we wear one of these crystals we feel more centred, grounded and our behaviour tends to be quieter and not so up in the air. We also have an energetic vibration, our bodies are made up of energy and matter and a large proportion is water. When we hold, wear or have crystals placed on our body, the energy of the crystal attunes with our individual energy and works at creating the best possible balance at that time. You can wear more than one crystal at a time, when having a crystal therapy treatment many crystals are placed on and around the body at the same time. Some crystals are good to place under your pillow to help you sleep better, some crystals are good to hold and meditate with and others are great to wear in your pockets or around your neck. Crystals can work on emotional, spiritual, mental and physical levels, shifting and subtly changing our energies. Sometimes the change in our energies can be obvious e.g if a person was in shock their energy would be all over the place, erratic and floating about in the ether. By holding a piece of black tourmaline or black calcite their energies would be pulled back down to their feet, helping them to feel grounded and more with it. Other crystals we can wear for a couple of weeks and notice only fine, subtle changes. Crystals can help us to change rigid mental patterns, emotionally level and calm us so we can move forward on our path in a balanced manner, and spiritually connect us to higher universal energies, angels, guides and our own inner knowing deep inside our soul.
If you imagine yourself as a tree, your roots(feet) firmly planted in the ground helping to keep you grounded and connected to mother earth and your branches stretching out and high towards the sky(your branches being your creativity and individual energy spreading out into the world). Your branches reach up and out, connecting you to universal energies and all that is around you. For us to feel balanced we need to feel connected to the earth as well as the universal energies. Everyday our energy within our bodies is changing. One minute we can feel on top of the world and then something may happen at work or home and we can be left feeling flat, depressed or even annoyed. We need to breathe through our feelings more and be a little more accepting of how we are feeling. Crystals can help to soothe the energy of a certain emotion, open our mind so we have more understanding of a situation or simply lift our mood so we feel more positive and happy.
Crystals work alongside us for our highest good. Sometimes we may work with or wear a crystal that has had a strong emotional effect on us. We may have felt tearful or we may have felt anger come up from nowhere. We could look at this and feel that this type of crystal doesn't suit us because of the emotional effect it has had on us. This is not the case, all crystals work at helping us, what we may perceive as awkward or embarrassing because we have wanted to cry or scream etc is actually a form of release. Some crystals help to bring blocked or buried emotions to the surface ready to be released. It is still our choice whether to release these blockages or not. By allowing the blockage to be released this creates new fresh space within for fresh energy in the form of new ideas, new thought patterns and a new way of being to emerge. Crystals always help us, we just need to understand that sometimes we need to release emotions etc and that is not a bad thing but a very positive thing. We are learning to be more responsible for ourselves and our energetic bodies.
