crystal healing
Crystal healing and the benefits of using crystals can be viewed as controversial or “woo woo” in some circles, but is a practice that has been around for a very long time. The pseudoscience of crystal healing for physical, mental and emotional troubles is often up for debate like other ‘alternative’ remedies. It goes without saying that if you feel unwell or have medical complaints you should always consult your doctor or medical professional first. Beliefs are down to each individual, but as a spiritual person myself I am open to the ideas of crystals to wear providing some grounding or supporting benefits to my day whether its from actual scientific natural causes or a placebo effect – either way if it makes you happy and you are not causing any harm to anyone then I say go for it!
crystals as jewellery
One of my favourite ways to use crystals is to wear them as jewellery! Not only do they look pretty but having the stone in contact with my skin throughout the day will in theory provide more benefit than occasionally holding a tumble stone when I feel I need additional support. Having the stone close to our skin allows the crystal to interact with our energy and vibration, promoting positive changes to our well being.
Below are my favourite crystals that I choose to wear day to day and the benefits associated with them.
crystals i wear and their benefits
Rose Quartz – This pretty pink stone is believed to promote Love, Self Love, harmony in relationships and inner healing. I have both a beaded necklace and stone chip bracelet and wear either of those on days I don’t feel my best, am lacking in confidence or feel I need a little bit of emotional support.
Citrine – Citrine is an orange/yellow toned stone with many benefits. It is believed that citrine instils self confidence and boosts self esteem giving us a sense of bravery and power. It helps to environ your goals and have the confidence to pursue them which links the stone with helping you to bring into your life what you want in abundance, money, health, success or self esteem.
Blue Lace Agate- This stone is believed to have benefit in aiding physical health but also is popular in jewellery due to its beautiful appearance and calming properties. It is believed that blue lace agate lowers stress and brings out self confidence, it is known as a symbol of freedom and serenity which helps to alleviate stress and anxiety and encourage verbal expression.
Orange Selenite- Orange selenite with its fiery appearance is believed to boost self confidence, passion, creativity and even sexuality! It encourages a sense of well being, harmony, happiness and enthusiasm, helps us to rid stagnant energy and repel negativity.
These are just the crystals I choose to wear currently as a beginner, there are so many options out there in many different designs. A lot of crystals offer overlapping or similar benefits and can be worn alone or paired with others to enhance each one. Why not check out crystal sellers such as Canny Crystals, local craft fairs, makers markets or discover small businesses on Etsy like this one?
