The history of crystal healing

Ancient civilisations• Understood that there are

powerful energies surrounding us

• Practised crystal healing andbenefited from the vibrationsemitted by crystals

Sumerians• Lived in southern Mesopotamia

• Between 4100 and 1750 BCE

• Highly evolved beings

• Used crystals in healing formulas

EgyptiansUsed crystals for:

• Good health

• Good luck

• Protection

Europe• 11th century

• Medical treatment included gemstonesand herbs

• Scaled down with Renaissance

• Age of Enlightenment furtherscrutinised traditional practices

Atlantis• Plato first mentioned Atlantis

• Brought about their own demiseby using Clear Quartz

New Age movementCrystal healing made a comeback.

Crystal healing today

One of the most sought-after wellness

practices

Fast-expanding popularity

Humans are returning to the healing

energy of the Earth

Natural crystal formation

Igneous Metamorphic Sedimentary

Igneous rock formation

Formed in one of two ways

Within the earthVolcanic eruption

Within the earthMolten lava cools down faster

than rest of mass

There are hot plates within the earth

Some parts are hotter than others

Cooling process takes place faster in some places than others

Rocks and crystals are formed

Cooking jam

Jam is high in sugar content

Boils in a large pot

Difference in mass structure

Sugar gathers at sides of pot

Volcanic eruption• When molten lava is spewed from the core

of the earth

• Hot lava contacts cool air

• Lava cools down so quickly that it solidifiesbefore touching surface of earth

• The crystals are usually small

• Volcano can spew molten lava severalkilometres away from outpost

Benefits of crystals formed in this way

Overcoming periods of sudden transformation

Relieving stress

Alleviating mental exhaustion

Metamorphic rock formation

What comes to mind?

• Novel by Franz Kafka

• Gregor transforms from human forminto a human-insect hybrid

• Theme of novel is change

‘Metamorphosis’

How metamorphic rock is formed

When two elements are pushed together to form something

different

Two separate objects merged together due to external heat and

pressure

Become something transformed

Look at this rock:

Do you notice visible evidence of metamorphic rock formation?Metamorphic rock usually has tell-tale lines showing you how parts were pushed together.

Sedimentary rock formation

How it’s formed

Substances move from one point to another

Rain and other water penetrate the rock surface

Starts to dissolve the rock

Process is called weathering

Substances get caught in a rock near the surface

Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and acids in the water enter the cracks and crevices

Mineral-forming elements are released

Example: Fossil

Preserved remains of

plant or animal life got embedded in

the stone

Formed something

different

Most fossils occur in

limestone, sandstone, or

shale

Trivia time!

What do metamorphic and sedimentary rock formation have in common?Both processes involve transformation due to external factors.

Metamorphic vs sedimentary

Result of heat and pressure

Result of elements moving from one

location to another

SedimentaryMetamorphic

Crystal structures

Geometric forms of crystals

What is a geometric form?

Internal microscopic structure

Crystals have seven possible geometric forms

Advanced crystal healing knowledge

Personality traits displayed by people of similar genetic make-up

Not compulsory in your effectiveness as a crystal healer

Hexagonal

Example: Emerald

Cubic

Example: Fluorite

Trigonal

Example: Rhodochrosite

Tetragonal

Example: Wulfenite

Orthorhombic

Example: Tanzanite

Triclinic

Example: Amazonite

Monoclinic

Example: Azurite

Raw crystals vs polished stones

• Thin polishplaced on them

• Another name istumbled stones

Polished stones

• Stones in theirnatural formfrom the earth

Raw crystals

Why are some crystals polished?

• Aesthetics• Some crystals aren’t safe to touch

human skin

Which is best?

Ongoing debate

Energy is energy

If safe to touch human skin, it doesn’t matter

Personal choice

How crystal healing works

The golden question: ‘Does it work?’

Curiosity formed part of it

Use the question to your advantage

Explain how it works

Most clients will have a pre-existing understanding

Some clients won’t know much

These clients will want an explanation

Know whether your service is worth time and money

Explain it to them in a way that resonates on a practical and spiritual level

Why should you know this?

Summary

Water

Energy emitted by crystals

Human body

Absorption of energy

Water

Highly changeable structure

Affected by moon and sun cycles

Tidal force of the ocean

60% of the human body is made up of water

Crystals emit energy at set outputs that remain constant.

Imagine how our bodies must react to external

energies!

The body’s absorption of energy

The water in the body absorbs the energy emitted by crystals.

Crystals cause the body to undergo a molecular structure change.

The human body is a vessel for infinite potential.
