Crystal healing from ancient civilization to modern times

1. Historical background and wide range of origins of crystal healing

1.1 The use of crystals in ancient civilizations

The history of crystal healing goes back to the far-flung ancient times. One of the oldest recorded examples is the ancient Egyptian civilization around 1600 BC. Papyrus documents at the time stated that crystals were used as medicines, and it was believed that the disease would pass through the crystals and disappear when beads such as lapis lazuli, malachite and red jasper, in particular, were wrapped around the neck of the sick. These crystals were thought to be more than just decorations, but have the power to heal disease.

Furthermore, there are records that crystals were used as mysterious serums and elixirs in the ancient Sumerian civilization around 4500 BC. In these ancient civilizations, crystals were recognized as not merely minerals, but as possessing sacred power and energy.

1.2 Legendary Ancient Civilizations and Crystals

Crystal healing is also closely associated with legendary ancient civilizations such as Atlantis and Lemuria. These civilizations are said to have used crystals as an important means of conducting cosmic energy. It is said that the priests used crystals and sounds to cleanse the space and heal them. These legends highlighted the mystical power of crystals and were a factor in raising interest in crystal healing in later eras.

1.3 The role of crystals in the East

Crystal healing is also deeply rooted in Oriental traditions. Especially in Chinese medicine and Ayurveda in India, crystals have been used to promote the flow of Qi and to harmonize the mind and body. These traditional medicines believe that crystals have a specific energy, and using the appropriate crystals has been suggested that the body can balance energy. For example, in Ayurveda, a crystal called a chakra, which corresponds to the energy center, is used as a treatment method that aims to harmonize the mind and body.

1.4 Reevaluation of crystal healing in modern times

In the 1980s, crystal bowls began to gain attention as healing instruments in the United States. Crystal bowls are made by melting quartz at high temperatures, and the unique tones have been appreciated for their impact on the mind and body. It has become a popular sound healing technique, and many people are using crystal bowls for relaxation and meditation. Thus, crystal healing continues to evolve in a variety of ways from ancient times to the present day, and its origins are rooted in diverse cultures and historical backgrounds.

2. Effects of crystal healing and its mechanism

2.1 Effects of balancing the mind and body

Crystal healing is a technique that uses natural stones and crystals to balance the mind and body, providing a relaxing effect and healing. These stones are said to have different characteristics and affect the human mind and body. Specifically, it can be expected to help relieve stress and calm emotions. Crystals have been used from ancient times to modern times as a not just an ornament, but as an important tool to promote people's mental and physical health.

2.2 Intrinsic energy characteristics of each crystal

When healing crystals, it is important to understand the unique energy properties of each crystal and use them appropriately according to your purpose. Below we will introduce some of the most common crystals and their effects.

It has excellent amethyst-relaxing effects and is thought to have the power to relieve anxiety and stress. It can also be expected to promote peace of mind and support a good night's sleep.

Citrine is known as the "stone of success" and has the effect of increasing self-esteem and creativity. It supports your business success and gives you the energy to act confidently.

Rose quartz is a symbol of love and healing, and is said to have the power to develop relationships and self-love. It helps to heal your emotional wounds and to treat others with affection.

Turquoise It is said to have the power to protect and cleanse and is particularly suitable for people living in urban areas. It can be expected to protect yourself from negative energy and purify your mind and body.

2.3 Psychological aspects and placebo effects

The psychological aspects also have a major impact on the effects of crystal healing. The sense of security and relaxation that comes with crystals can sometimes be described as placebo effects. When people believe in crystals, they can provide a sense of mental stability and healing, which can actually have a positive effect on their physical and mental health. In this way, the sense of mental stability and healing that can be obtained through the use of crystals itself is placed on the importance of more important than the physical properties of the crystals themselves.

3. Crystal Scientific Fundamentals and Modern Physics

3.1 Physical properties of quartz

Quartz has the characteristic of vibrating electrically, and this characteristic is used in electronic devices such as quartz watches and mobile phones. The crystal structure of quartz is very regular and can vibrate at a specific frequency. This vibrational energy is converted into electrical energy, making it an essential element for precise control of electronic devices.

3.2 Lattice energy and crystal structure

The lattice energy of a crystal is the energy generated by interactions between atoms and ions within a crystal, and physically indicates how the ordered structure of a crystal holds energy. This energy varies depending on the shape and composition of the crystal and is thought to have a specific energy pattern. However, there is currently a shortage of scientific evidence that this lattice energy directly has a healing effect on the human body.

3.3 Scientific views on healing effects

There is a lack of clear scientific evidence about the "healing effects" that crystals are believed to have, and in many cases these effects are thought to be due to placebo effects. A placebo effect is a phenomenon in which symptoms actually improve when a patient believes that it is "effective," even if it is known to be ineffective. In crystal healing, faith and expectations about crystals can have a positive effect on physical and mental health, but this is not necessarily due to the physical forces of the crystal itself.

4. Practical Crystal Healing

4.1 How to Choose a Crystal

When choosing a crystal, it is important to first choose one that suits your purpose or intuitively. For example, it is best to consider the properties of crystals when choosing, such as amethyst if you want to relax, or citrine if you want to increase your confidence. Also, be sure to value intuitive elements such as the energy you feel when you touch the crystal and how beautiful it looks.

4.2 Crystal Purification

It is recommended that crystals be purified before use. Crystals are easily absorbed by ambient energy, so by purifying them regularly, you can restore their natural energy. Purification methods include washing with running water, having them basking in the moonlight, or surge with sage smoke. Purification will refresh the crystal and allow you to maximize the healing effect.

4.3 Creating a relaxing environment

When performing crystal healing, it is important to choose a quiet, calm place and create a relaxing environment. By playing music and igniting aromas, you can receive healing in a more relaxed state. By incorporating meditation, you will be able to feel the crystal energy more deeply.

4.4 How to Use Crystal

Place your chosen crystal on a specific part of your body, or hold it in your hand to meditate. The location of the crystal can be changed according to your purpose. For example, place it in an intuitively comfortable place, such as on your forehead if you want to relieve headaches, or on your chest if you want to activate the heart chakra. When meditating while holding the crystal in your hand, breathe slowly and repeatedly, consciously paying attention to the crystal's energy.

4.5 Care after use

By repurifying the crystal after use, it will maximize the effect of the next healing process. Crystals are easy to absorb energy, so be sure to clean them after use to refresh the energy.

5. The relationship between crystals and energy therapy

5.1 Wave resonance mechanism

Crystal healing is based on the vibration energy that crystals are said to have and the treatments that use it. Each crystal is thought to have different frequencies and energy, and is considered to be effective against certain problems. The vibrations that crystals possess are said to resonate with the body's energy body and help balance it. This resonance phenomenon is a core concept of crystal healing.

5.2 Crystal healing as energy therapy

Crystals need regular cleansing and charging to absorb the energy around them. This allows the energy that the crystals have to continue to work effectively. By holding the crystal in your hand or placing it on a specific part of your body, you can feel the energy directly. It can also be used during meditation to provide deeper relaxation and inner awareness.

5.3 Comparison with other energy therapies

Energy therapy is a field of complementary and alternative medicine using energy, such as electrotherapy, magnetic therapy, treatment therapy, and remote healing. These therapies are intended to balance and flow of energy in the body, and there are a variety of treatments available. Crystal healing is used by many people as a way to balance the mind and body, but due to the lack of scientific evidence, it should not be used as an alternative to medical treatment, but should only be considered an auxiliary measure.

6. Things to note when healing crystal

6.1 Relationship with medical treatment

Crystal healing is not an alternative to medical treatment, and if you have an illness, you should always see a doctor. Crystal healing is merely an auxiliary measure to balance the mind and body, and is recommended to be used in conjunction with medical treatment.

6.2 Handling of Crystals

Some crystals require careful handling. For example, some crystals are sensitive to water and salt, so it is important to research each of the properties before using them. It is important to check in advance how to clean and store the crystals.

6.3 Perception of effects

The effects of crystal healing vary greatly from person to person, and the effect of placebo effects cannot be ruled out. When practicing crystal healing, it is important to not overly confident about the effectiveness and make a calm judgment.

7. Summary: The multifaceted appeal of crystal healing

Crystal healing is a traditional method of healing that has been practiced in many cultures, from ancient times to the present day. It can be expected to balance the mind and body, and provide relaxing and healing effects. Each crystal has its own energy characteristics, so it is important to use them according to your purpose. When practicing crystal healing, it is desirable to understand that there is a lack of scientific evidence and to use it as an auxiliary tool rather than as an alternative to medical treatment.

In modern times, crystal healing is not just a trend, but its appeal is being re-evaluated as a way to meet people's needs for stability and healing. Through crystals, facing deeper inner self and balancing your mind and body will have more and more important meaning in modern society.
