Crystal Healing

Crystal jewelry speaks of order, intelligent design, balance and harmony. Some people wear crystal beads, crystal pendants and crystal earrings in the hopes of adopting these traits. Some take the use of healing crystals beyond just wearing crystal jewelry. They believe crystal healing is the basis of holistic health leading to the balance of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies. To this end many carry their crystal or stone with them in a pouch. They may even keep a piece of quartz or amethyst in their car or office to encourage whatever trait they hope to strengthen or adopt. Some women also use crystals during childbirth to open their mind and body to labor. Crystal points are used in some healing traditions such as acupressure where pressure points are manipulated with the stone points of the crystal.
