Crystals are not only beautiful alluring pieces to display around your house for both
yourself as well as others to admire, but they also are said to have healing properties for both your physical and spiritual self. As most things in life, crystals are made up of energy. The energy that crystals hold are supposed to connect ¨the physical and supernatural elements of the body.¨ Not only that but they also have different, unexplainable, healing properties.
Those that are skeptics in ¨the healing power of crystals¨ and are still waiting for ¨scientific proof” say that crystals only work due to the placebo effect, that they only work because you tell yourself over and over again that they do. But think about it. You’re putting energy out into the world saying that these certain crystals are going to help you with your depression, for example. Crystals then take in this energy and give it back when you need it. It’s not necessarily the placebo effect, but more what energy you put out. If you take a crystal and say I don’t believe you can help me, but help me, then not only are you not putting the energy out in order to get help, but you’re also closing your body off to help. Also, similar to astrological signs, is it so wrong for something to be true, even without any scientific proof to back it up? Why question and tear apart something if in the end all it’s doing is helping people on their paths through life? I’m not saying that crystals can take the place of your heart medication, but they can work alongside it.
So for those who believe in these powerful healing properties of crystals and want to learn more about their healing energies, and aren’t scared of believing in something that doesn’t have what society considers ¨ scientific proof,” the chart below is for you. This chart goes over the name of each crystal, which chakra it is tied to ( even though in the end, every crystal can help with every chakra), the crystalś meaning, and most common healing properties. So if you want to learn what crystal has the healing properties you need currently on your journey through life, keep reading.
