Over 18% of Canadians deal with chronic pain on a daily basis. It’s heartbreaking to imagine that so many people are in pain every day, with no clear cure in sight. However, while often dismissed by scientists, crystals can provide effective health benefits by bringing higher vibrational energy into the body. Though it is always important to seek professional medical advice first, you may be able to free yourself from recurring pain by exploring the power of crystal healing.

Open Your Mind

In order to harness the vibrations and metaphysical energy of crystals, it’s important to keep an open mind and open yourself to energetic healing. Think about the interconnectivity of the universe, and the very real waves and molecules that unite everything on our planet and beyond. When regular cures aren’t helping your pain, it is natural to explore other options. Embrace the possibility of alternative healing. It has been proven that spiritual practices have a positive impact on health. 

Choose Your Crystal

Different crystals are associated with a wide variety of ailments, whether they be physical, emotional, or mental. Choose the correct type of crystal in order to properly address your area of concern, especially those that carry specific healing powers for chronic pain. If you are dealing with hypertension or stress that is causing neck and shoulder pain, consider howl to help loosen your muscles. If you have rheumatoid arthritis or other bone diseases, chrysocolla might be the best option for you. If you have heart-related issues or are dealing with  deep vein thrombosis, seek out bloodstone or hematite crystals. Research the appropriate stone for your ailment, and choose a size and shape that appeals to you energetically.  

Create a Healing Practice

Once you have obtained a crystal appropriate for your needs, set up a ritual or regular practice in order to connect with your stones. One simple way to do this is to hold your stone during meditation. Set up a quiet space where you can regularly practice meditation, and clear your mind by setting an intention. Think about your pain while breathing and about the powerful energies contained in your crystal, and position your crystal or press it gently over your inflamed areas. Do so for the length of your meditation practice. 

You might find it easiest to place your crystal on your body while lying down. Some even recommend taping the crystal to your inflamed area while you sleep. You could also wear the crystal as jewelry throughout the day, as a necklace if you are dealing with cardiovascular issues, or a bracelet if you have arthritis in your wrist. Some people prefer to carry small crystals in their pocket or purse in order to be able to hold throughout their day and return to their intention as their pain returns. Find a regular practice that works best for your lifestyle in order to best support your healing. 

Whatever the source of your chronic pain, crystals can be a great source of comfort and healing. In addition to proper medical attention, they can bring high-frequency energy and settle your mind and you venture on your journey of healing.
