Crystal healing is a spiritual and energetic practice that uses crystals and gemstones to support balance, intention and wellbeing. Different crystals are believed to carry unique energetic qualities and are often associated with specific chakras, emotions or spiritual purposes.
Practitioners may place crystals on or around the body, use them during meditation, carry them as personal talismans or incorporate them into healing sessions. Popular crystals include amethyst, clear quartz, rose quartz and black tourmaline.
Crystal healing has roots in many ancient cultures, which valued stones for their symbolic, ceremonial and spiritual significance. Today it remains one of the most widely practised complementary spiritual modalities.
Many people use crystals as tools for mindfulness, personal growth and spiritual exploration. While scientific evidence for crystal healing remains limited, countless individuals find meaning, comfort and inspiration through working with crystals.
