If you have been on your spiritual journey for your whole life or you just started wanting to live a more spiritual life and you want to incorporate the benefits of crystals; you are in the right place!
You can use the crystals in your spiritual practice in just about every aspect. I know I do and so did our ancestors. Crystals (rocks, gems, tektites, fossils, minerals) have been a resource in ancient times for many benefits and uses in all cultures. From body and beauty care to community harmony and ritual, to energy work, to meditations, to tools and modalities. Just as our ancestors in ancient times used crystals for their healing benefits, so can you in your spiritual practice.
Before we dive into how you can use them in your day to day life and spiritual practice, we need to get to the root of why they will benefit you. Yes, the science behind it all! Each crystal has its own vibration, frequency, mineral structure and composition. What all crystals have in common is an extremely well-organized molecular structure. In a crystal, all of the atoms (or ions) are arranged in a regular grid pattern. For example, in the case of table salt (NaCl), the crystals are made up of cubes of sodium (Na) ions and chlorine (Cl) ions. Each sodium ion is surrounded by six chlorine ions. Each chlorine ion is surrounded by six sodium ions. It's very repetitive, which is exactly what makes it a crystal! (Think simple math patterns)
What makes them different is minerals they are composed of that have different molecular compositions. These molecular compositions form structures of different shapes. For example - Table salt naturally forms cubic crystals. Quartz crystals, which are made up of silicon dioxide (SiO2) molecules. Some crystals are known as living or active crystals and others dormant. Which means a living crystal's composition of its molecules are able to move or stack on each other within that crystal formation.
Now that you know the science behind crystals it’s easy to understand (I hope!) why they work and what our ancestors have known all along. This is why working with crystals (minerals, molecules, frequencies, vibrations, structures ) can heal and enhance our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies.
So let’s get to the juicy stuff you really want to know about crystal healing benefits in your spiritual practice. Just as our ancestors of ancient Egyptian times knew how Rose Quartz was useful in beauty, preserving and healing - we can use it too. Rose quartz is known as the master crystal regenerator. Rose quartz is really such a beautiful crystal in its light pale pink that is full of healing minerals and known for its properties of love, self-love, compassion and forgiveness. It’s a perfect crystal to use in your skin care routine: place on your face before or after your moisturizer, in your bath, or even in drinking water to infuse youthful, hydrated, glowing, beautiful skin. Rose Quartz is also a good choice to use in loving kindness or forgiveness meditation. You can use it on your heart chakra during meditation. You will feel its calm, soothing beauty to keep you grounded and relaxed with an open mind of love and forgiveness.
Most all crystals can be used like mentioned above, yet it is in the properties, minerals, structures, meanings and different benefits that will change the intent and outcome for the purpose that one is seeking in their spiritual practice.
