How Does Crystal Healing Work?
There are many different theories surrounding whether or not crystal healing works and how they work. Even the history of crystal healing has a variety of beliefs, ranging from ancient Egyptian practices to modern day Chinese and Buddhist practices.
The most common theory is that it stems from the Chinese concept of chi, which is life energy, and Buddhist beliefs surrounding chakras. These chakras are believed to connect the supernatural elements to the physical elements of the body.
The main chakra points are as follows:
- The forehead
- Above the head
- Throat
- Stomach
- Chest
- Genitals
The placement of certain crystals on the chakra points associated with whatever illness or worry you have is said to realign the life-energy and help to heal by balancing out the energy. However, you can also wear certain crystals to help you or place them beneath your pillow at night to gain the same benefits.
