Crystals and stones formed from the cooling of the Earth. They continued to change and reform over millions of years as the planet went through different geological changes. For this reason, they contain within them the memory of the development of the world in which we live. Hence, some call them “the DNA of mother Earth”.
The heart of the crystals is formed by dynamic atoms that rotate around a nucleus, in constant movement. Therefore, although they appear serene, all crystals are molecular masses that vibrate at a particular frequency. That is what gives it its energetic power.
Due to this internal power, crystals are used in ancient therapies such as Gem Therapy or Reiki with the purpose of harmonizing internal energy. This is because, according to its color and composition, each crystal vibrates with a specific energy center. These centers are called “Chakras” (a term of Sanskrit origin), which when in contact with each of them produces a connection that allows us to harmonize, transmute, heal, unblock and even protect our energy field; in order to align all the bodies (mental, emotional, spiritual and physical), and thus be able to expand the consciousness and purpose of the soul.
Today Humanity is not fully aware of its internal powers as it is dominated by matter, fears, guilt, shame, pain, lies, the illusion of duality and attachments. All these emotional and mental blocks are what prevent access to the awakening of consciousness. The use of stones and crystals is one of the many ways we can find to help us in this healing process. It’s just a matter of opening up to its energy, getting in tune with its vibration and allowing balance to be restored.
In this note, María Eugenia Vergara, Hatha Yoga instructor and creator of Moksha Store of Elements, will help us understand what is the particularity of each stone and how its energy influences.
