Discover the Gentle Magic of Crystal Healing

Crystal Healing 101

Crystal healing is the practice of using natural stones and minerals to support emotional balance, focus, and a sense of calm. People have worked with crystals for thousands of years—from ancient Egypt to traditional Chinese and Indigenous practices—believing these beautiful gifts from the earth carry their own gentle energy.

Choosing Your First Crystal

Start with what draws you in. Hold different stones and notice which one feels right in your hand. Popular beginner choices include rose quartz for clarity, amethyst for peace, and rose quartz for self-love. Trust your intuition; there’s no wrong answer.

Cleansing and Caring for Crystals

Crystals can pick up energy, so it’s nice to refresh them regularly. Simple ways to cleanse include:

• Running under cool water for a minute
• Placing in moonlight overnight
• Smudging with sage or palo santo smoke

Crystals and Chakras

Many people pair crystals with the body’s seven main energy centers, called chakras. For example, blue stones like sodalite are often used near the throat chakra to support clear communication, while green stones like aventurine are linked to the heart chakra.

Remember, crystal healing is a complementary practice meant to support—not replace—professional medical or mental health care.
