Crystals
Crystal stones are ancient minerals that can be used as tools for grounding and healing. Everything on this planet, including our thoughts and emotions, is comprised of energy. Rocks, gems, and crystals have energetic properties that emit a unique vibration that interact with our own energetic vibration and can directly affect our physical, emotional, and subtle bodies. When used with intention, such as for healing, crystals can provide insight and can offer support if your mind and heart are open to it.
One way crystals can support you is by grounding you to the earth’s energy. Grounding means being connected to your physical reality rather than dwelling on future or past thoughts. In your healing journey, there will be times when you will feel overwhelmed with your emotions and while they are all valid, sometimes it can be difficult to focus on the present moment. Wearing jewelry with crystals, having crystals at home, or carrying pocket crystals can be helpful when you are feeling disconnected from your current reality. You can do this by simply bringing your entire awareness to the crystal using as many senses as you can. What does it look like? What does it feel like? How does it feel touching your skin? Bring your entire awareness to the present moment and eventually, you’ll notice that your thoughts are quieter and your body is more relaxed. You can do this if you were activated by situation or memory, as well as before, during or after therapy, or while you’re journaling. You can also meditate holding your crystal in your hand.
There are lots of ways you can engage with crystals, if this healing modality resonates with you, you can purchase them online, at a metaphysical store, or you can get one at our Healing through Connections workshops. It’s also important to be mindful of where you get crystals and make sure they are ethically sourced.
