Healing crystals have seen a rising trend in popularity in recent years. These crystals have been there with us for millennia and our ancestors have already used them for a lot of purposes, be it for gaining wisdom, increasing meditative capabilities, treating illnesses or aiding in the journey after death.

There are still numerous reasons for which these healing crystals can prove to be helpful and even if we list them here, we would still be scratching only the surface.

These vibrations and energies of the crystals can be used to align the seven chakras or energy centers that reside inside the human body. Crystals help to clear blockages from these chakras and restore the balance between them.

Many people are often confused about how to select the right crystal for healing. This can be a very time-consuming process because not every crystal is meant for you.

What you could do is just hold a crystal in your hand and charge it by thinking about what purpose you wish to serve by using it. If you notice some sensation such as a small rise in your pulse, calmness or tranquility then it means that the particular crystal is best suited for you and it will help you to achieve what you want in life.

For example, if you hold a Carnelian in your hand then it will get your creativity flowing. If you hold Rose Quartz then it will open your heart to intake love and compassion. With amethyst, you can seek peace of mind and with black tourmaline, you can get rid of negative entities from your life.

But in the end, it all depends upon your own personal experience with these crystals and also on how effectively you are able to open up your mind and heart to embark on the beautiful journey.
