The art of healing with crystals is many thousands of years old. Ancient texts, such as the Indic Vedas, as well as the traditions of indigenous cultures such as the Native Americans, all speak of the healing powers of crystals. Over the past twenty years this very ancient and almost forgotten art of healing has enjoyed an unexpected renaissance. One major reason for this is probably the fact that never in the entire history of the human race has it been possible to access so many minerals and crystals at affordable prices. These days, precious stones such as Amethyst, Amber or Topaz, can be bought for just a few dollars all over the world.
Therefore it comes as no surprise that the ‘hidden’ powers of crystals are also attracting renewed interest. The early pioneers who began over the last few years to reawaken the art of crystal healing were initially laughed at by their ‘scientific colleagues’, but nowadays, thanks to modern physics, it is possible to understand and explain the healing power of crystals from a scientific perspective. For the first time, crystal healing is poised on the threshold of becoming an acknowledged natural healing modality. Minerals and crystals, which have always fascinated us with their beauty and uniqueness, are now revealing to us new and important properties. These properties can be employed for us and for others, to help and to heal..
So, why is it that pebbles and lumps of crystal or rock can have a healing effect upon us? The secret lies in their radiation. Just like any other object, they constantly absorb energy (sunlight and heat) and then emit it again in the form of heat, light or high frequency radiation. Every mineral possesses its own special oscillation (wavelength), like a kind of ‘energetic fingerprint’. This creates an exchange of effects between the crystal and us, and, like a kind of ‘mini transmitter’, the crystal imparts very specific types of information. This information, in turn, leads to mental, spiritual and physical reactions. If an existing condition is improved, or something completely new and positive comes about, there has been a healing effect.
Precisely what kinds of information are effective is a subject that has been studied since 1988 by the research group, Steinheilkunde Stuttgart (Crystal Healing, Stuttgart), and was later continued, in 1995, by the off-shoot, Steinheilkunde e.V. (Crystal Healing Association). Using simple, empirical self-experimentation, similar to medicinal tests in homeopathy, crystals are regularly tested on more than 300 participants in 50 different research groups. For these tests, all the participants wear the same crystal over a designated period and record all arising phenomena of a mental, spiritual and physical nature. Questionnaire sheets are used to help with these self-observations and are regularly checked.
