Crystals are beautiful, mystical and currently one of the most popular trends in alternative medicine. It is believed that holding crystals or positioning them on various areas of the body or even within the room can provide physical and mental health benefits. The idea being, the crystals interact with the body’s own energy field, creating balance and alignment.
They are used for stress and focus, quite commonly. They can provide a sense of being grounded which can be beneficial for those experiencing anxiety or depression. They can also be used within mindful meditation, to provide an area of focus within the meditation.
In short, the more support you have from different modalities, the better, whilst providing a helpful addition to your wellness practice. Who doesn’t want a beautiful crystal or two in their lives? (NB: They do not replace medical treatment recommended or prescribed by your GP or Psychologist)
