We are often asked "So, do crystals really work…I mean do they really work?" We strongly believe that crystals do work - but before we get into that, how about a little history It is the ancient Greeks who we have to thank for our English word "Crystal". They used to believe that Clear Quartz or Rock Quartz was ice that was frozen so hard that it would never ever melt. Their name for this phenomenon was "Krystallos". From civilizations as ancient as the Mayans and the Egyptians, as diverse as Far Eastern cultures and Native American cultures, and as far apart as Australian Aborigines and European peoples, all have used crystals, gemstones and minerals in both their spiritual rituals and in their physical healing practices. Today the practice of using stones and crystals continues. Not only with tribal people and shamanic doctors, but with literally thousands and thousands of ordinary people, just like you and me, who live all over the planet who can claim some extraordinary results.
So to get back to answering the question we posed at the top of the page namely, "So, do crystals really work…I mean do they really work?"
So the next question is "How do crystals work?" Certainly to us (Steve and Mo) there seem to be a combination of reasons why crystals should have the beneficial effects upon us that they most certainly do. There are 4 reasons, amongst probably others that you can think of, that seem to be at the top of the list.
Reason Number 1) In fact just by placing your crystal onto any surface it will be working for you. Now, within each of our own bodies we all have millions, if not billions, of cells each with it's own tiny electrical charge within it. If something is wrong with a particular part of our body, could it be that something has disturbed the electrical balance of our cells in the affected area? It is not unreasonable to assume that the microscopic electrical charge from a crystal, when held or placed against the affected part of the body, could perhaps "balance" the body's own charge and help to give our body a chance to heal itself. The body's own Electro-magnetic field could perhaps be "balanced" to the extent that beneficial changes may bring about an improvement in health, be that physical, mental/emotional or spiritual.
Reason Number 2)
Each of these points vibrates to a different colour frequency,
The colour of individual crystals resonates with the colour of each Chakra point and can bring that point to balance. For example, the yellow of Citrine is good for Stomach problems or food disorders. The Green of Malachite or Green Aventurine is good for soothing the emotions. The Blue of Lapis Lazuli makes it an ideal meditation stone with which to contact ones spiritual side. To find out more about the Chakra System, click here
Reason Number 3) Crystals are very tactile! And many, many people find them soothing simply to hold, touch and stroke. Now if simply holding a crystal works for some people, and both Mo and I have seen it work, we are certainly not going to decry it as a form of crystal healing!
Reason Number 4) If you already meditate, try meditating with a Crystal in your hands. If you don't already meditate, try it! People often say to us, "Oh, but I haven't got the time to meditate!". These people of course, are exactly the people who need to meditate, permanently rushing from hither to thither, no wonder that the most commonly asked question, bar none, put to Mo and I is "Have you got anything to help me with stress?" There seems to be little doubt that meditating upon, or simply "thinking" upon a stone, that losing yourself in its interior, that allowing yourself to receive messages from it, really does calm you down and can help with mental and emotional problems … if only providing time for you to think about things! Don't forget the spiritual side of Crystals. They have patterns and pictures on their surfaces that can transport you to another world. They have textures that you can stroke, rub, handle and that can fire your imagination! They truly do seem to have connections to other places.
The above 4 reasons seem to us to be the main reasons for the effectiveness of Crystal Healing. You of course, may have others…and that's fine too! Don't forget though that if you buy a Crystal that you love from
If you simply buy a Crystal from us, or from anyone else, and then just get home and leave it on your dressing table without ever giving it another look except for the occasional dusting - you are not going to benefit from the energies that your Crystal could be bringing to you. When you get your Crystal home, give it a cleanse and programme it. For details of how to cleanse your crystals and what we mean by programming, click here Crystals have a working radius of a couple of feet and need to be loved up and carried around with you in order that you can gain from their benefits. Work with your Crystal and it will repay you over and over again! If you have any questions or concerns or simply want to let us know of your experiences with Crystals, you can contact us
