Chakras are energy centers within the human body, and each chakra is associated with a specific crystal. Crystal healers often use these crystals to balance and energize the chakras. For example, the root chakra is associated with the dark purple, black, or red crystals like Onyx or Black Tourmaline, while the crown chakra is associated with clear or white stones like Quartz or Amethyst.

 In a grid layout, crystals are arranged in specific patterns to create a protective or healing energy field around a person or space. This practice is often used in home or workplace clearing, as well as in healing sessions. The most common grid layouts include the TMG (Transmission Meditation Group), Lightbody Template, and Planetary Healing Grids.

Crystal healers work under the belief that the physical body and the mind are interconnected, with the body’s health being influenced by emotions, thoughts, and mindsets. By using crystals as a tool to focus on healing and positive energy, crystal healers aim to promote overall well-being and self-awareness.

Some crystal healers create elixirs or water infusions using crystals by soaking them in water. Drinking the infused water is believed to infuse the body with healing properties from the crystal. However, it is essential to clean crystals thoroughly before use and be cautious with certain crystals like MOHS hardness 7 or higher that could potentially scratch the inside of the mouth or teeth

In addition to physical ailments, crystal healing can also focus on emotional healing. By using crystals like Rose Quartz for love and self-esteem, Amber for forgiveness, or Lapis Lazuli for self-expression, individuals can benefit from improved emotional wellness and self-awareness.

To maintain and enhance the effectiveness of crystals, crystal healers often practice clearing and cleansing techniques. These methods may involve smudging with herbs like sage or cedar, burying the crystals in the earth, or soaking them in saltwater.
