Healing stones crystals

For thousands of years, civilizations have used healing stones and crystals to release mental, physical, and spiritual blockages and stimulate the flow of energy throughout the body.

At the cellular level, our body is composed of silicon dioxide. This component is found in abundance in stones and minerals. Silicon dioxide is a natural transmitter/receiver that allows us to store and transmit information. This is why living beings are naturally receptive to the vibrations of crystals; each stone vibrates at its own frequency level, as do our bodies, which transmit, reflect and store energy. So when crystals are placed directly on your body, they resonate with your body and your mind through their powerful vibratory effects.

In this article, we will look at the origin and meanings of healing stones, as well as the use of the most popular crystals in lithotherapy.

 

The origins of lithotherapy and healing stones

Lithotherapy is an alternative medicine to treat and prevent disorders and diseases using stones. The word lithotherapy has its origins in Greek. In Greek "lithos" means stone and "therapeia" means cure, however, it is fascinating to note that researchers and archaeologists have found amulets and artifacts made from crystals on several prehistoric sites dating back to the earliest days of mankind. It is therefore difficult to evaluate the exact period and origins of the use of therapeutic stones. However, we are certain that cavemen used the stones on a daily basis.

Formed deep in the bowels of the earth, stones and crystals are miracles of the combination of elements such as water, heat, light, ice... Stones are born, indeed, in the rocky deposits of different environments. Thus, they are found in volcanic rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks. These unique environments give each stone its own unique vibrations and healing effects on the body and mind.

Let's now take a look at the most popular healing stones courted by lovers of semi-precious stones.

 

 

 

Virtues, powers and properties of healing stones

Each stone resonates at a frequency of its own. Our body and the stones establish correspondences and this allows our body to balance itself. It is always difficult to choose your first stone. That is why it is important to trust each other and let your instinct and spontaneity speak for itself. The vibratory exchange between the body and the stone begins when the stone is touched. Take in hand the stone and try to feel the energy which emerges from it, without trying to analyze the crystal.
