What is Crystal Healing and how to choose your stone

What is Crystal Healing

You may have heard of Crystal Therapy, but what is it all about?

Crystal therapy or Crystal energy is a holistic discipline that uses stones and crystals in order to achieve and maintain a state of psycho-physical well-being for the individual. The energy crystal is a natural self-healing technique: we are not referring to an alternative medicine, but a complementary one, that is, it cannot replace medical treatments but rather complement them.

Since ancient times, stones had not only an ornamental use, in fact our ancestors attributed specific properties to crystals and considered them precious healing amulets.

Crystal therapy is based on the assumption that each body has a particular energy field, which interacts with external events. In particular, the crystals are able to emanate purifying energies that are absorbed at an energetic level by our body, as constant vibrations. The crystal evolves together with its owner, because it has the ability to harmonize with the intentions of those who use it.

How to choose the stones to use?

Stones and crystals can become part of your world helping you to restore psycho-energy balance.

Surrounding yourself with crystals is an excellent tool to benefit from the primordial energy that they contain and that they naturally transmit.

There are many ways to work with crystals and each of us can find the one that best represents it: they can be worn, placed on the body, near an object or carefully placed in a room.

But is there a way to choose a stone or a crystal? In short, is it possible to identify the right stone without being mistaken?

The answer is obviously no, because there is no ideal stone but the right one for you in that precise period of your life. In this case you can choose it with the method that you feel most similar, for example if you are looking for a stone that helps you to solve a specific problem, the best thing to do is to perform a search based on the symptoms or in any case the needs. Our advice is not to think too much but to use instinct, thinking too much never helps in the choice of crystals; sometimes it is the crystal itself that chooses us. Whatever the motivation that drives you to look for a stone, in choosing it, I advise you not to rely only on the sense of sight but to feel, holding it in your hand, the sensations it transmits to you, letting yourself be guided by your deepest feeling. Once chosen, the crystal will begin to release its energy and you will naturally feel enveloped in a pleasant feeling of peace.

It may be useful to always carry with you a small "crystalline first aid" to be used in all those situations in which our well-being is destabilized.

The tumbled stones (small smooth pebbles) must be kept in a small bag or bag, preferably made of fabric and that has a secure closure, for this reason we have created the energy bag, a nice bag to wear so as not to lose the stones around the bag or pockets.
