Belief in the healing power of natural crystals has accompanied humanity since ancient times. Do crystals truly possess magical properties that help maintain good health? See for yourself and learn more about the power of crystals!
The cleansing power of stones and crystals
Millions of years old, crystals were formed during the earliest processes that shaped the Earth. They are the most orderly structures existing in nature, and their six sides symbolize the six chakras converging at one point – the seventh, crown chakra. For this reason, they are considered natural stones with strong cleansing effects that attract the power of light and energy.
Crystals are a constant point of reference in uncertain times
Belief in the healing power of crystals extracted from within the Earth dates back to ancient times. The Egyptians used them as amulets, believing that pure quartz worn around the neck would bring good luck, and aquamarine would protect against evil. Crystals were also used in the 1960s and 1970s, when hippie movements became interested in natural healing methods. We are seeing another surge in their popularity in modern times. According to Ruby Warrington, author of the book "Material Girl, Mystical World. The Now Age Guide to a High-Vibe Life," this is due to the chaos prevailing in today's world. "As our lives become more connected to technology, we yearn for practices that reconnect us with the earth," writes Warrington. "In times of widespread uncertainty, crystals become our only constant point of reference."
How to work with power crystals?
According to their enthusiasts, properly selected crystal structures placed in key points of a space can improve the flow of positive energy in the home, bringing relaxation and solace. Although the healing powers of crystals have no scientific confirmation, for those who use them, it is primarily the intentions behind their use that count. According to Heather Askinozie, co-author of the book "Crystal Muse: Everyday Ritual to Tune Into the Real You," buying a crystal won't magically change your life. "It's just a tool that helps in daily work on oneself. Holding a crystal in my hand reminds me to breathe regularly and allows me to feel a connection to the Earth, giving a noticeable shift in energy," Askinozie tells Spa Executive magazine.
Accessories for yogis – a glass bottle with clear quartz
People who practice yoga know how important not only the performed asanas are, but also the aspect of grounding, which allows one to be "here and now," close to oneself, nature, and one's emotions. We notice how difficult this state is when practicing, for example, one of the basic standing asanas, Tadasana – Mountain Pose. It seems deceptively simple; it consists of standing on both legs, fully extended along the vertical axis, with an expanded chest. Only by trying to hold it in perfect balance, with full awareness, normal breathing, and a calm, relaxed face, does one realize how rarely in everyday life we truly stand steadily, connecting our feet to the Earth.
We can incorporate the grounding power of crystals into our yoga practice and efforts to build life stability. It is recommended to carry them with you, use them during meditation or yoga practice, or place them in a water bottle, which is an essential accessory for yogis. Let us remember, however, that not every stone is suitable for daily use – it must be neutral and free of toxic minerals. Such properties are possessed by, among others, quartz and amethyst, which are among the purest crystals on Earth. Attached to the bottom of a Shine bottle, they infuse the water with positive energy.
Clear quartz: how to use it daily?
Crystal bottles will certainly be an original gift for yoga practitioners, while also encouraging a reduction in the use of plastic bottles. How much more pleasant it will be to pour even ordinary tap water into a glass bottle with clear quartz.
