Gemstones and crystals are some of the oldest and highest vibration materials on the planet. Used for thousands of years by ancient civilizations, from the Egyptians to the Aztecs, gemstones have been used in healing rituals as well as jewelry and as talismans for their powerful ability to release mental, physical, and spiritual blockages.
Crystals are ancient and powerful rocks that hold a high vibrational energy used for healing. Using crystals and gemstones in your sadhana is a great way to connect to your intuition, heal your body and mind, and feel supported in your practice.
Crystals can be used in many different ways: you can wear them as jewelry, you can have them sitting next to you during sadhana or by your bed when you sleep; you can hold and meditate with them or use them for healing. Whether you work with one or many, crystals have specific healing properties that may be used at various times for various reasons. Using your intuition is key here when you’re feeling called to work with a specific crystal.
