What Are Healing Crystals?
Crystals are types of rock with physical properties like the specific arrangement or structure of atoms. They affect light refraction, electrical charge, and many more. The focus of crystal healing is on these elements and their impact on the body’s vibratory as well in terms of electrical charge and function. “These vibrations and frequencies can also be understood as qi or vital energy that makes up any living entity,” says Jenelle Kim, who is the authority on Chinese medical practices and also the creator and formulator of JBK Wellness Labs.
How Do Healing Crystals Work?
The basis of the theory that heals crystals is that they influence the individual in two distinct ways, namely mental and physical vibration.
Vibrational Medicine
The 1970s were the decade the IBM researcher Marcel Vogel invented “vibrational medicine” in the 1970s “vibrational medicine,” referring to the belief that healing with crystals alters frequencies of the cells in the body to correspond to the energy of the crystal being employed. “Crystals have a similar wavelength to the human body, which means they vibrate at the same tone as humans and can enhance the body’s natural healing [process],” Dr. Kim.
The holistic chiropractor of Los Angeles Alexandra Trevisan further clarifies “As humans, we can work within this scale of energy that can be either ascending or declining. Imagine excitement and love at the top, and hate and fear at the bottom of the scale. Healing crystals usually contain one or more of the frequencies that are at the top energy scale (love or clarity, as well as hope) or block energy coming from the lower end of the energetic scale (anger or despair, anger or jealousy).”
Mindset
The healing of crystals can also enhance mental capacity in a way that is more efficient than the stimulation of energy vibrations. Through the ages, poets and religious believed that crystals represent the purity and joy of life, along with faith, and are of the highest quality. Crystals were used as sources of motivation, determination in devotion, as well as inspiration.
Stanford research indicates that the state of mind is a crucial element of health and healing. The method of intention-based crystal healing – identical to the technique developed through mindfulness meditation – can assist in boosting your immune system, increase concentration on emotion processing also stress-reduction, as well as regulate your nervous system.

Gazing at or holding the crystal of your emotional state or goal is a simple and efficient way to return to your regular practice of meditation whenever your thoughts wander. “On a more practical level, they serve as a grounding tool,” says Trevisan.
