A Journey from Skepticism to Transformation
I recall a conversation with an old colleague who had completed his bachelor’s degree in Geology. In discussing crystal healing, he remarked, “I could staple a rock to my forehead, and it wouldn’t do anything.” From a scientific perspective, crystal healing is often dismissed as quackery, and at the time, I knew so little about the practice that I was inclined to agree.
Fast forward 10 years, and I am now a qualified Divine Essence Crystal Healing Practitioner. What was once scepticism on my part regarding a healing practice that seemed ungrounded and unscientific has transformed into a deep reverence for the capacity these crystals have to support healing.
What I didn’t understand a decade ago, but now fully grasp, is the importance of personal choice in the healing journey.
Choosing to heal fully and completely was the turning point for me. It was at that moment that I became open to the healing potential crystals offer. I could then recognise the subtle shifts and changes within me as the crystal energies worked their magic. This newfound awareness allowed me to fully appreciate the healing power of these crystals and the light codes they emit.
Crystal healing is a complementary therapy meant to be used alongside mainstream medicine. It is not a replacement for conventional treatments or medications. My view is that crystals help clear space within the body’s energetic layers – emotional, spiritual, and mental – promoting the release of negative or stagnant energies that keep us trapped in our own wounds. For those who are deeply committed to healing, crystalline frequencies can draw out emotions, memories, and thoughts, offering prompts for self-reflection and healing.
Take Rose Quartz, for example; it invites us to hold space in our hearts for the most fragile and tender parts of ourselves that remain unseen and in need of healing. Carnelian encourages us to embrace what makes us feel alive, igniting our passion and building our internal fire or life force energy. Selenite helps us connect with higher angelic frequencies, reminding us that we are loved across all layers of creation, with helpers at different levels cheering us on our spiritual journey. Certain crystals, like smoky quartz, offer protective energies, grounding the subtle electromagnetic frequencies from electronic devices that can disrupt the nervous system.
These changes, prompted by crystals, can also manifest physically.
For instance, I have struggled with weight issues throughout my life. I began placing Rose Quartz in my Brita filter jug to infuse the water with its gentle, nurturing energy. The Rose Quartz encouraged me to be kind to my body and to take better care of myself – a message I felt deeply in my heart. As a result, I started drinking more water, which helped me feel fuller and more energised.
The physical benefits have been profound. In this instance, the Rose Quartz served as a reminder to return to the basics of self-care – something easily overlooked when life gets busy and self-neglect creeps in.
Crystal healing is about more than just the stones; it’s about the intention and openness to healing that we bring to the process. When approached with sincerity and commitment, the results can be transformative, touching both our energetic and physical selves in profound ways.
