Crystal Healing for Inflammation: Your Guide to Choosing the Perfect Gem
Balance your energy to heal your pain
Crystals are often used as tools in holistic health practices. Many people believe that crystals can help support the body’s natural healing processes.
The idea behind crystal healing is based on several principles:
Vibrational Energy
Everything is made up of vibrations.
In chemistry class, you probably remember learning that everything is made of atoms. Atoms are in a constant state of motion. That constant state of motion is also called a vibration.
Healers believe that each crystal possesses a unique vibrational frequency. These vibrations interact with the energy fields (or auras) of living beings, including humans, to promote balance and well-being.
Energy Centers (Chakras)
Crystals can be aligned with the body’s energy centers, often referred to as chakras. Different crystals are associated with specific chakras. The idea is to use specific crystals to balance or cleanse these energy centers.
Intention and Visualization
Healing often involves setting an intention or goal for the healing session. Practitioners may meditate with the crystal, visualize the desired outcome, or simply focus their thoughts on healing while holding or wearing the crystal.
Great Crystals for Healing Inflammation
Amethyst
Known for its calming properties, amethyst can help reduce stress, which can cause increased inflammation. Amethyst is linked to the third eye chakra. It’s used to purify the mind and clear negative thoughts, stress, and anxiety.
Turquoise
Believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and can help with physical pain. This crystal is connected to the throat chakra. It helps enhance communication, self-expression, and spiritual connection.
Turquoise can also align all of the chakras, making it especially helpful for full-body healing.
Lapis Lazuli
This powerful crystal is thought to boost the immune system and reduce inflammation. It’s also associated with two different chakras. They are the throat chakra and the third eye chakra.
Lapis is especially powerful when you use it in combination with Amethyst for the third eye chakra and Turquoise for the throat chakra.
Carnelian
This healing crystal works best when you wear it against your skin. It connects to the lower chakras. Carnelian offers stability, grounding, and a zest for life. It also helps to improve confidence and creativity.
Selecting the Perfect Stone
Now that you know which crystals are best for healing inflammation, you still need to find the right ones to use.
Choosing a crystal is personal. It’s about the energy and resonance you feel with it. Over time, as you work with crystals, you may develop a deeper understanding of their energies and how they can support you.
Sensitivity
Holding and feeling the energy of different crystals in your hand can help you make a more intuitive choice. Does it generate a warm or tingling sensation? Does it resonate with you energetically?
Appearance
Look at the physical characteristics of the stone, including color, texture, and shape. Some people are drawn to certain colors or patterns in stones, which can indicate alignment.
Size and Shape
Larger stones are ideal for meditation or crystal layouts. Smaller ones can be carried as pocket stones or worn as jewelry. Look at different forms like tumbled stones, points, clusters, or raw specimens.
Budget
Crystals come in a wide range of prices. Many beautiful and effective crystals are affordable, but some rarer or larger specimens can be expensive. Choose a crystal that fits your budget comfortably.
Authenticity
Purchase your crystals from reputable sources to ensure their authenticity and quality. Be cautious of synthetic or imitation stones.
Ways To Heal Inflammation Using Crystals
Cleanse and Charge Your Crystals
Before using crystals for healing, it’s important to cleanse and charge them. You can do this by placing them in moonlight, or sunlight, or using methods like smudging with sage or incense.
Create an Intention
Set a clear intention for your crystal’s healing properties. In this case, your intention might be to reduce inflammation in a specific area.
Meditation and Visualization
Find a quiet, comfortable space to meditate. Hold the chosen crystal in your hand and close your eyes.
Imagine a warm, healing energy flowing from the crystal and into the inflamed area of your body. Visualize the inflammation gradually subsiding and being replaced by a sense of calm and wellness.
Here’s an example of a healing intention:
“For the highest good, I set the intention that this crystal is programmed to initiate and support the healing process of (the person’s name). Thank you, crystal light, for supporting them on their journey to their natural state of wellness. And so it is.” Kyle Grey
Crystal Layout or Grid
You can also create a crystal layout or grid by placing crystals strategically on or around the inflamed area. For example, you might place amethyst on your forehead or near the inflamed joint.
Lie down, relax, and focus on your breath while allowing the crystals to work on reducing inflammation.
Carry or Wear Crystals
Some people prefer to carry or wear healing crystals throughout the day. You can carry a small crystal in your pocket or wear crystal jewelry.
Keep your intention in mind as you go about your day, and periodically hold or touch the crystal to reinforce your intention.
Regular Maintenance
To maximize the potential benefits of crystal healing, it’s important to regularly cleanse and charge your crystals.
It helps if you maintain a holistic approach to inflammation management, including a healthy diet, exercise, and any medical treatments prescribed by your healthcare provider.
If you have a medical condition involving inflammation, consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment options. Crystals can be used as complementary tools to support your overall well-being, but they should not be solely relied upon for healing serious health issues.
