The use of crystals for healing is believed to have originated with the Ancient Sumerians who likely used crystals to heal physical ailments. This practice was later passed on to the Ancient Egyptians, who further developed and popularized the use of crystals for healing, initially in the form of amulet jewelry. The ancient Chinese and Native Americans also practiced crystal healing, creating their own methods and systems. In more recent times, the use of crystals as a healing tool has gained a lot of popularity, with books and blogs dedicated to the subject of crystal healing.
Selenite
Selenite enhances psychic awareness. Selenite can be used to open the crown and third-eye chakras and enhance psychic awareness. It can help you access higher spiritual realms and understand messages from the angels and spirit guides. Selenite also helps you to connect with your higher self. This crystal helps bring clarity, focus and illumination to the mind and can be used to connect with your higher self, inner truth and guidance. Selenite is also a great crystal to use because it can be used to charge your other crystals!
Rose quartz
Rose Quartz is known to have calming properties that can help promote emotional healing and stress relief. Rose Quartz vibrates on the same frequency as the heart chakra and is said to have positive effects on the heart and circulatory system. When applied in a room, Rose Quartz can help create a warm and inviting atmosphere, inviting in peace and harmony. Physically, Rose Quartz is believed to be helpful in reducing headache and relieving tension.
Pyrite
Pyrite helps promote physical well-being, confidence, and a state of overall vitality. It is said to help with the functions of the endocrine system, and can be beneficial for urinary and digestive systems. Pyrite is known as the stone of protection, shielding the user from negative energy, environmental pollutants, and physical danger. Although pyrite is traditionally associated with the solar plexus chakra, I find it useful for all of the lower chakras. It encourages the person wearing it to come up with creative solutions and to have the strength and courage to take action. On an emotional level, pyrite is said to raise feelings of positivity and optimism, helping to increase self-worth and confidence. It can also help to reduce feelings of insecurity, envy and anger.
Tourmaline
Tourmaline is said to increase physical energy, reduce tension and stress, improve circulation, strengthen the immune system, enhance mental clarity, promote healthy skin and hair, eliminate toxins, and alleviate pain and inflammation. Tourmaline emits the same vibrate as our root chakra. It is also believed to help improve overall well-being, well-being, wealth, and prosperity.
Citrine
Citrine brings energy and clarity of thought to its user. Citrine is known to be beneficial to the solar plexus chakra and it is used to help improve confidence and to promote joy. It is believed to be a powerful talisman for property, detoxification of the body, and the activation of creativity. It is believed to be an excellent stone for detoxifying the mind and body of negative emotions, while at the same time encouraging feels of happiness and joy. Citrine is said to be helpful in healing ailments such as exhaustion, emotional trauma, physical trauma, and chronic stress.
That’s it, a summary of crystals that I believe are essential for beginners. Meditate with a piece of Rose Quartz or use Pyrite in your home decor to clear low vibrational energy. Carry your crystals with you for protection, use them in a crystal grid, or wear them as jewelry to help you ground and feel more present in your body.
