Nurturing Your Well-being: A Personalised Approach to Crystal Healing

My profound journey into crystal healing began amidst the teachings of hot stone therapy at an FE college. A deep-seated fascination with crystals from childhood laid the groundwork for a connection that would later evolve into a personal exploration. A formal qualification in crystal healing further opened the door to a realm that seamlessly integrated with my life.

As Albert Einstein once said “everything in life is vibration” from our thoughts, to our internal organs, and every energy wheel (chakra) in our bodies, to each leaf in the whispering trees and pebble decorating the ground. When you are under the weather physically, or mentally, you will find yourself with very lowered vibrations. These special crsytals all hold their own energy and vibrate at a frequency that can re-align your vibrations with theirs to help reach a better balance.

My best advice for a someone choosing the right crystal is that it is an intuitive process; it's about letting the crystal choose you. Whether in a physical store or browsing online, trust your instincts. Feel the crystals, touch them, and allow yourself to be drawn to the one that resonates with you, even if it defies your expectations. The crystal that calls out to you might not be the colour you expected, but often, it's precisely what you need for healing.

As a general rule, crystals are not only diverse in form but also in colour, and each hue holds a unique connection to our emotions and well-being. The crystal, truly, is in the eye of the beholder. Here's a glimpse into the spectrum of crystal colours and their corresponding emotional resonances:

- Black: Symbolising protection, grounding, and detoxification, black crystals create a shield against negative energies.

- Brown: Associated with cleansing and purifying, brown crystals facilitate the release of old patterns and stagnant energy.

- Peach: Infusing energy and vitality, peach-colored crystals are energizing, bringing a warm and vibrant quality to one's spirit.

- Red: Energetic and invigorating, red crystals stimulate passion and vitality, encouraging a sense of empowerment.

- Orange: Vibrant and creative, orange crystals inspire enthusiasm and creativity, igniting the spark of innovation.

- Yellow: Linked to wealth and abundance, yellow crystals usher in prosperity and positive energy.

- Pink: Radiating love and calm, pink crystals are especially beneficial for alleviating anxiety and promoting a sense of peace.

- Green: Calming and heart-healing, green crystals resonate with the energy of nature, promoting balance and emotional well-being.

- Blue or Turquoise: Instilling intuition and peace, blue or turquoise crystals are allies in enhancing self-awareness and communication.

- Purple: Evoking a sense of spirituality, truth, and intuition, purple crystals open doors to higher realms of consciousness.

- White: Representing purity and clarity, white crystals are conduits of spiritual consciousness, fostering a connection to the divine.

You might notice, these colours correlate to the colours of the chakras shown in the diagram above, I will be creating an introduction to chakras next week.

Here are some perfect crystals for each chakra along with an affirmation you can use:

~ Crown chakra - Quartz or amethyst (I know )

~ Third eye chakra - Sodalite or labradorite (I see)

~ Throat chakra - Blue calcite or blue lace agate (I speak)

~ Heart chakra - Rose quartz or aventurine for the heart (I love)

~ Solar plexus - Carnelian or citrine (I create)

~ Sacral chakra - moonstone or amber for (I trust)

~ Root chakra - Red jasper or obsidian. (I am protected)

These crystals, chosen with intention, create a harmonious flow of energy within.

Once you've welcomed a crystal into your life, cleansing it is paramount. The energy it carries from others must be released. Here are some of my favoured methods, but choose a method that aligns with you:

• Sunlight/Moonlight: Expose your crystal to the sunlight or the full moon for a minimum of 4 hours to rejuvenate its energy.

• Water: Rinse the crystal under a natural water source, a stream, or the sea. You might need to use a little bag so you don’t lose them!

• Purifying Smoke: Envelop your crystal in the purifying smoke of burning sage, or an incense stick to clear any lingering energies.

• Earth Connection: Bury your crystal in the Earth, allowing it to absorb revitalising Earth energy and recharge.

• Crystal Synergy: Place your crystal on a Selenite plate or within a Selenite Bowl to cleanse and clear any stagnant energy, benefiting from the purifying properties of Selenite.

To further and programme your crystal, you need to energise it with intention. Hold it between your palms, close your eyes, and visualize your goal as if it has already happened. Choose an intention that aligns with your goal. Feel the energy transfer and express gratitude for the connection you've cultivated.

Incorporating crystals into your daily life is versatile. Wear them as jewellery, keep them in your pockets or handbag, and strategically place them in areas of your home to create an energetically harmonious environment. The energy of these crystals becomes an integral part of your journey, supporting your well-being on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.

As you embrace the world of crystal healing, remember that this is a personal journey. Let the crystals guide you, trust your instincts, and allow their energy to enhance your life in ways both subtle and profound. May your crystal-infused path lead you to a place of balance, healing, and self-discovery.

I hope you enjoy your crystal journey, and I'm always over on Instagram if you ever need any advice.

Lots of love,
