CRYSTALS: How They Work & Crystal Meanings

Today's video will be about crystals. What they are, how they are formed, how they work on the energetic levels and meanings of some well-known crystals. Let's start with how crystals actually work. First of all, it's important to realize that our entire body system is just energy that shows up in different densities and patterns. Our thoughts and emotions are connected to our physical bodies and have a density of their own. When these patterns of energy work in a balanced way, then we experience our health. However, these energy patterns can be disrupted, which then results in poor health from headaches to serious diseases. Crystals are thought to be the most stable form of matter in the universe due to how they are formed within our planet. Crystals grow in the Earth's crust over millions of years at high pressures and heat, making them objects with the most energy as each step in the formation of a crystal contains energy. The crystal's journey begins deep below the planet's surface where lava and hot fluids circulate. Crystallization occurs when layers of the mantle fracture, which allows heated gases and liquids, forced by high pressure, rise towards the surface. Elements such as water, oxygen, sodium, iron, potassium and magnesium are also present and in the process they merge and dissolve with other elements being pushed to the surface. As this mixture rises and passes through cooler, less active layers of rock, crystals begin to grow in the rocks, cavities and crevices. Crystals will form depending on the specific environmental conditions and the mixture of the elements that I mentioned. Growth, shape, color, hardness and size depends on the temperature, water, light, pressure, time and space. Crystals are alive like everything else in the universe. They work with the human energy field and are able to diffuse, absorb, move or shift energy within the body. Crystals vibrate at different levels depending on their composition and color. As do the cells in the human body. They all vibrate on their own frequency. As do the energy centers in our body, our chakras. A video about chakras will be linked in the description. Crystals operate by naturally focusing and magnifying the body's innate energies, dissolving and equalizing emotional, mental and physical stress. They can alleviate suppressed or unreleased pain and help to make desired shifts in every aspect of one's being. So when we come into contact with a crystal, its vibration interacts with the vibration of our cells in our human body. First of all, yeah, it's not a myth that crystals have energy. Crystals actually have a very high and precise rate of vibration and are utilized in modern technology. This includes liquid crystals in calculators and clocks. They're also used in credit cards, phone lines and lasers for microscopic surgery. Working with crystal energy helps the body to find its natural rhythm and restore its energetical balance. Crystal healing is basically laying of the stones of different vibrational frequencies on your body in order to affect healing or change. It may also involve laying out different energy grids or specific patterns of crystals around the body. That way, by using patterns, the combination of stones can enhance their individual properties and direct energy. Crystals are thought to be able to relieve and release stress, stimulate brain activity, amplify your healing power and potential, restore energy and stimulate energy flow through your meridians and energy centers, reconnect you to yourself, ground you and connect you to our earth. For hundreds of thousands of years, crystals, gemstones and minerals have been used to heal or enhance physical, mental, emotional or spiritual balance. The ancients must have somehow known that when worn, the energies of the crystals would interact with the human body's electromagnetic field and bring about subtle energy changes. Royals have worn crystals throughout history in their crowns, jewellery, thrones, swords, as rings or as necklaces. Interestingly enough, having a specific crystal in your crown could activate your crown chakra and having a necklace over your heart chakra could activate your heart chakra. Same goes for rings, which would stimulate energy flow through your meridians or earrings to stimulate reflex points. So that kind of makes you wonder if all jewellery was created to connect different healing stones to different energetic points on the human body. Also, I just had to look a little bit into the history of crystal use in different countries and cultures because it fascinates me about how people just knew about this. They just knew so much about themselves, nature and everything, the universe. It's just as if we somehow lost that knowledge. I don't know. The ancient Egyptians used crystals for protection and health and they even buried people with a piece of quartz on their forehead to help them guide them into the afterlife. Dancers wore ruby stones in their belly buttons to enhance their sexuality and wearing a necklace over your heart was also intended to bring love into one's life. Forehead crowns were also worn to stimulate the third eye. Pharaohs carried zinc cylinder and a copper cylinder, both filled with quartz to balance their ka and ba energies, the equivalent of yin and yang today. Quartz crystal spheres in ancient Japan were thought to represent the hearts of dragons, which symbolized wisdom and power. Ancient Greeks wrapped themselves with crushed hematite before going into battle, thinking that it would make them invincible. Amongst the Romans, crystals were used in medical treatment and to attract desirable things, protect in a battle and enhance health. In India, the sacred 5,000-year-old religious texts discuss the use of crystals in different diseases, mental illnesses and conditions, as well as specific properties of each crystal. Ayurvedic medicine has also recognized the healing power of crystals for hundreds of years. Mayans, Aztecs and Incas all understood the power of using crystals for balance and healing on emotional, mental and physical levels. Crystals were used to diagnose and treat disease, and according to some accounts, the Incans considered certain stones, such as emeralds, to be so powerful they choose to die before giving out the location of their emerald mines to their enemies. In Tibet, quartz crystal spheres were thought to be objects with great holy spiritual power, believing their properties could even assist in enlightenment.
