Crystals are literally unbelievably magical, so let me explain how their power actually works. Before I do that, let’s talk about what crystals actually are.
Crystals are formed in a chemical process that takes place over billions of years. Crystals are formed in the earth, moulded from volcanic fire and affected by wind and water – meaning that even the smallest crystals hold extremely powerful energy. What actually happens during this process is that certain movements of the earth’s crust force molten magma liquid up to the surface, where they then cool down, solidify and crystallize. The individual chemical components and bonds will then determine the colour, size and shape of the crystal.
So how exactly do they work and how can we benefit from their energy?
Everything on the planet is energy, and everything vibrates. Each type of matter, whether animal, plant, human or crystal, vibrates at a different frequency. This is referred to by crystal practitioners as its Dominant Oscillatory Rate or DOR. A crystal’s DOR is smooth, stable, constant frequency because of its ordered atomic structure.
Humans, on the other hand, are made up of numerous structures, such as our heart, lungs, skin, bones, and so on, and each one has a different DOR. It’s thought that when we become stressed, those frequencies become more extreme and erratic and we can become physically aware of the contrasting vibrations happening in our bodies.
A crystals’ DOR is so steady that, even when put under pressure, it remains table. This is called a low state of entropy. Basically, it is resistant to disorder.
Crystal therapy teach es that when our bodies are vibrating at stressful levels and we hold a crystal, our frequency synchronizes to that of the crystal, as stable frequencies supersede erratic frequencies. This, we believe, allows our bodies to start relaxing and rebalancing.
Crystals have been used for thousands of years in many cultures to bring power, harmony and protection to both people and places. It is believed that every single crystal has its own set of energies/properties that can be used in different aspects of your life. Crystals amplify and transmit our inner psychic power, meaning they can offer insight into other spiritual dimensions and we can utilize their energy to travel beyond the immediate material world with its rigid restraints.
The actual science behind crystals producing energy is called “piezoelectricity”. In 1880, Jacques and Pierre Curie discovered piezoelectricity when putting certain crystals under great pressure and discovered that they produced electrical energy. So it is that you have crystals to help power your phone, TV, laptop and even your watch! All because of their proven power to produce energy. Crystals are commonly used for divination and can be a great tool during rituals, spell work, tarot readings, or for individuals who are generally trying to connect with their psychic abilities. Crystals have also proved very effective for healing physically, psychically, and emotionally, and are commonly used in holistic healing methods and other healing practices.
