CRYSTAL THERAPY: NATURAL HEALING
Since ancient times, crystals have been considered a powerful and all-natural tool for energy healing, however, due to their arrival in Hollywood (in recent years), the popularity of these gemstones has increased dramatically. But do you know how they help heal and harmonize our mind, spirit and soul? NR Beauty explores the phenomenon of crystal healing and we share with you the principles of this practice so praised by celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Miranda Kerr.
WHAT IS CRYSTALOTHERAPY?
Crystal therapy is a technique of so-called alternative medicine, which consists of using crystals and other precious stones as an energy network to facilitate the healing of the body, mind, and spirit, and thus eradicate any type of negative vibration. However, it is important to note that scientists consider this holistic therapy as a simple "placebo effect"; due to the lack of evidence on the legitimacy of these rituals. Despite this, hundreds of yogis and wellness gurus trust in their powers and preach that they change the life of those who use them.
THE 5 SACRAL CRYSTALS AND WHAT THEY DO
There are hundreds of gems, stones and crystals, each with very powerful and unique healing properties. However, if you are new to the world of crystal therapy (or if you are just looking for the essentials), we suggest the following beginner's kit:
Amethyst , also known as the "good for everything" stone. This violet beauty is one of the most versatile crystals out there. Among its superpowers is its ability to block negative energy, cleanse the aura, increase intuition and improve concentration.
Clear Quartz – This stone is a must have. Its main objective is to amplify, absorb, store, release and regulate energy. It also blocks distractions and increases concentration.
Rose quartz , the guru of love. Balance your emotions, regain self-confidence and attract your soul mate with this jewel that opens the heart of the person who wears it and those around them. Rose quartz is your bridge to finding true love within yourself and others.
Citrine , the golden stone of abundance. It is said to bring good fortune, success and clarity. Its warm energy is associated with creativity, empowerment and wealth.
Obsidian , a highly protective stone. Blocks negativity by absorbing harmful energies from its environment and deflecting psychic attacks. It is also said to reduce stress and mental tension.
HOW TO USE AND CARE FOR YOUR CRYSTALS CORRECTLY
- Activate your crystal with an intention: you have to tell it what to do. Hold the stone in your hand and visualize with great concentration the goal you want to reach; while you recite a mantra silently. For example, if you wish good fortune, you can repeat out loud "bless me with prosperity and wealth."
- Cleanse your crystal – this will help revitalize and renew the power of the stone, whether old or new. There are many ways to do this, such as soaking them in fresh water, salt, using the purifying powers of other crystals, or our favorite method: the full moon cleansing . The energy transfer that occurs during the full moon is excellent for recharging crystals, simply place the stone under the moonlight for about 4 hours or more.
- Wear the crystals or take them with you wherever you go : the closer the stones are to you, the more of their energy you can harness.
- Store your crystals safely: Precious gemstones should be handled with love and care. When you are not using them, keep them away from ultraviolet rays, preferably place them inside your house or wrap them with a soft and delicate cloth.
