Quartz crystals have been used by healers, spiritual teachers, and scientists of the sacred throughout history to receive, transmit, store, transform, and balance the various forms of energy found in our Universe.  Many may wonder why crystals were chosen as the medium to tap into these sources.

Essentially, it is because every quartz crystal point contains the attributes of the five elements, Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether or Spirit. How are crystals similar to the five elements?

Element Air: Crystals grow deep in the earth and form much of the earth’s crust, yet like the element air, crystals allow light to pass through them and split light into spectrums.

Element Fire: Quartz is a good conductor of heat. Ancient civilizations were well aware of this property. Objects and spheres carved from quartz always feel cool when touched or held, even in the heat of the day, because the crystal conducts the heat.

Crystals are also fiery in that they have piezoelectric properties.  Piezoelectricity is the ability of crystals to generate an electric potential.  One of the most common piezoelectric uses of quartz today is a crystal oscillator. The quartz clock is also a familiar device using quartz crystal.

Element Water: Crystals are watery in their hexagonal molecular structure which resembles snowflakes, and in their ice-like appearance. Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder believed quartz to be water ice, permanently frozen after great lengths of time. (The word “crystal” comes from the Greek word for ice.) He supported this idea by saying that quartz is found near glaciers in the Alps, but not on volcanic mountains.

Element Spirit: Crystals are expressions of the element of Ether or Spirit, the fundamental energy that sustains all forms of energy in the known universe.

When looking at the healing attributes of crystal, think of the human body as a series of energy systems. Crystals are devices for adjusting and balancing these systems. When one uses natural quartz crystals to heal the body, energy transference occurs between the crystal point and the body. Thus, crystals function as transformers of energy to help rebalance bodies on a cellular level, as well as on emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.

When you think about it, your brain is the center of all of your bodily functions. Any ailments you experience usually start within your brain, and how your brain perceives the trauma. Therefore, if your brain experiences stress, imagine how uncoordinated your body will perform. If your heart beats at an abnormal speed, your blood will flow at an unhealthy rate. It then becomes a domino effect with your other organs as well. In Chinese medicine, the over activation of one organ in the body meant that another organ had to weaken.

Whenever the body becomes out of balance, in any aspect, quartz crystal points can place balance back into the body. With the aid of crystals, thoughts are focused on a particular area of the body that needs either activated or slowed down.  “The crystal is a neutral object whose inner structure exhibits a state of perfection and balance,” according to crystal researcher Marcel Vogel, a senior scientist with IBM for 27 years. “When its cut to the proper form and when the human mind enters into relationship with its structural perfection, the crystal emits a vibration which extends and amplifies the powers of the human mind. Like a laser, it radiates energy in a coherent, highly concentrated form, and this energy may be transmitted into objects or people at will.”

Why is it better to use crystal points rather than your hands for healing?  Dr. Marcel Vogel explained that “The psychic healer has to deal with the emanations of his hand or his bioenergy field, which do not have the same levels of coherence one can obtain by using a crystal. The crystal works much the same way that a laser does: it takes scattered rays of energy and makes the energy field so coherent and unidirectional that a tremendous force is generated — one that is much stronger than if the energies were allowed to be emitted without having come into coherence.”

Where is the best place to purchase healing crystal points?  Quartz crystals absorb energy from the sun, moon, and lightning discharges, so in reality, crystals found in uncultivated environments are fully charged from natural sources of energy and ready to be utilized.  Thus, crystal points, when purchased from sellers that mine their own crystals, have tremendous healing powers already invoked within them that can immediately be used to aid in healing endeavors.  Crystal points processed in large scale quartz mines lose all of the natural charged energy, so if you decide to purchase from such companies, you will need to cleanse the point very well before using it.
