Crystals and Metaphysics

Crystals are used for healing, meditation, energy work, storing information, protection, grounding, and channeling. Many have specific shapes such as crystal skulls and singing crystal bowls, used for healing, balancing, awakening, and scrying. Crystal scrying deals with the images one sees within a crystal (holograms) and how that helps them shape their destiny at a given time. These images may appear to change in time. Your mind can also project images into a quartz crystal.


Everybody has their own method for clearing and clearing crystals. My method is easy. I rinse my crystals -> apply a bit of soft soap -> rinse again -> place them on a soft cloth to dry -> place in the sunlight for a few hours -> set them in place in my home, the location sometimes changing as guided by my soul or the crystals.

Crystals are often used by healers to activate, clear, and balance the seven basic chakras.
