Crystals and Healing

Crystals have been used for thousands of years to heal and bring balance. They work through resonance and vibration. Crystals contain minerals that are known for their therapeutic properties. Shaman and ancient healers used crystals for holistic healing, affecting the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels of being. Generally, crystals relate by colors to the different chakras on the body. Sometimes stones can support multiple chakras or have a range of benefits affecting the body, mind, and spirit. When searching for a stone, you can pick one that jumps out at you. Most times the stone that calls out to you has something to offer you in the way of support or guidance.
