Using Crystals For Healing And Energy Work

Crystals are beautiful, sure, but how are people using crystals in other ways?

Why do people use crystals for healing and energy work?

Crystal stores are becoming a more familiar sight in many towns and cities.  Working with crystals for meditation or healing is becoming more common in modern spiritual practice.

Why use crystals anyway – and if so, how should we go about it?

As Dr. Norm Shealy, MD, Ph.D., says in his publication Medical Intuition, Awakening to Wholeness,

‘Crystalline structures are piezoelectric. Piezoelectric means that when you put physical pressure on a substance, it responds with an electrical current. Quartz crystal is one of the premier piezoelectric crystals but our skeletons, muscles, tendons, and even our intestines are highly piezoelectric.’

Evidence from a Double-Blind Study

Dr. Shealy conducted a double-blind study with participants experiencing depression. The results were remarkable:

• 70% of those given “positively charged” quartz crystals reported being free from depression after three months.
• By comparison, only 28% of participants given similar-looking glass crystals as a control group reported the same improvement.

These findings suggest that the energy field of quartz crystals may indeed interact with the human energy system in measurable ways.

How to Use Crystals in Your Spiritual Practice

Because of their unique atomic structure, crystals such as quartz can resonate at specific frequencies.

Many believe these frequencies can help restore balance to the body and support emotional or energetic healing.

Crystals can also be “programmed” with intention – that is, they can hold energetic patterns aligned with your healing goals or meditative focus.

For example:

Clear Quartz vibrates more closely with the higher brain or crown chakra and can help with mental clarity, spiritual focus, and meditation.

Rose Quartz is often associated with the heart chakra and resonates with frequencies that promote love, compassion, and emotional balance.

Simple Ways to Work with Crystals

I use crystals in several ways — to clear the energy in a room, to lift my own energy through aura cleansing, and to help others who need an energetic reset.

Each chakra (or energy center) can be supported by specific crystals. I often use them during chakra balancing sessions.

You can also:

• Hold a crystal while meditating or journaling.
• Place one nearby when seeking clarity or creative inspiration.
• Keep certain stones close to the body for ongoing support.

A personal example: I once gave my mum an ametrine crystal (a blend of amethyst and citrine, often used for headaches). She kept it by her bed and noticed it helped her several times when she wasn’t feeling well.

Crystals in Everyday Life

You might be surprised to learn that you’re already surrounded by crystals — even in your kitchen!

Granite countertops, for example, emit a measurable piezoelectric field, which can subtly help us feel calm and grounded. Perhaps that’s one reason they’ve become so popular!

If you’ve ever stood among the granite cliffs of Yosemite National Park, you’ve likely felt that same serene, restorative energy.

I experienced something similar at Stone Mountain near Atlanta, Georgia – a massive expanse of exposed granite where visitors often comment on the peaceful, uplifting atmosphere. Maybe it’s the piezoelectrics at work!

How to Choose a Crystal

Crystals don’t have to be big or carved for you to gain a benefit from them.  Some of my favorites are simple quartz in their naturally occurring form.

To start working with crystals, find a store in your area.  Just wander in and see what draws your eye or gives you a good feeling.

Once you start, be prepared to end up with a collection. Crystals are so beautiful and have so many uses; sometimes it’s hard to stop!
