Crystals: a fascination from ancient times to today
Crystals have been used for thousands of years. Jewelry made from crystals is not only beautiful but also powerful. The ancient Sumerians used crystals in their magical spells. The Egyptians used crystals like lapis lazuli and emerald to make jewelry and amulets. The ancient Greeks used amethyst to maintain sobriety and hematite to protect themselves in battle. American Indians have used turquoise in their jewelry for strength and health. The Chinese used jade for beads and statues. I once saw an ancient Chinese burial suit made entirely of jade. It was incredible.
Crystals were created when the earth was formed. They continue to transform as our planet changes. Raw crystals may not be as attractive as a polished crystal, but they are just as powerful, if not more so. Being a living planet, everything that comes from the earth has an energetic vibration. The energy that created the crystals remains within as an atom and particles, which is where the vibrations emanate from.
When I started collecting crystals it was because I found them aesthetically pleasing. While other girls were looking at diamonds with their eyes, I was collecting crystals. To me, they are beautiful and much more valuable than diamonds. As I got older I learned that crystals have metaphysical powers to help and heal. The more I learned, the more it fascinated me.
I am a paranormal investigator. While doing paranormal investigations for the past seven years, I’ve learned that not everything is black and white. To get what you want, you first have to give something. This is how crystals work. In order to tune into the energetic vibrations of crystals, one has to be able to focus and use their energy.
My dear friend is an empath and a medium. I’ve seen her use pendulums to speak to spirits and divining rods to find portals. I recently gave her a Chakra pendant for her birthday. She immediately held it like a pendulum over her palm and began to move. She wasn’t moving it either. She moved on her own. I ask her how she does that. She told me to focus on that and then imagine the energy going down my arm into my palm under the pendulum. Then imagine the energy moving like a whirlwind. This was a way of reading my energy. I tried it and was amazed. It worked! Although my friend has incredible abilities that she was born with, she says that we all have these abilities. The trick is that we have to learn to use them.
Researchers Nat and Tony Bondar have called our thoughts “thought forms.” According to his research, the more one concentrates on the thoughtform, the larger and more powerful it becomes. They also studied the Chakras and found a highway of energy that runs through our body. Nat is clairvoyant and can see energy. This gift came in handy while I was researching.
If you’re interested in trying crystal healing, it’s worth looking into. Just like anything else we learn, to get it right we have to practice, practice, practice. I have been working on healing with my crystals and have had some progress so far. You never know if something works until you try it.
