Crystal Healing used to be a niche market reserved for hippies and New Age enthusiasts. It’s now a billion dollar industry attracting millionaires, celebrities, Silicon Valley Execs, and maybe even your mom.
With new mines popping up around the globe, it seems everyone is buying into this lucrative market.
So what’s all the fuss about?
Well, the general concept is that each of these crystals vibrate at a unique frequency.
Certain forms of energy can alter other forms of energy through vibrational resonance.
In short, crystals effect the energy field of our bodies, making us feel their good vibrations.
Many ancient cultures used crystals for health and enlightenment, just as some use them today.
Despite such widespread popularity, most doctors consider the benefits of crystals to be a placebo effect.
This, paired with an abundance of new crystal products from cosmetics to wine stir sticks promising love, tranquility, happiness, and success does make the whole industry seem a little seedy.
But don’t let the haters get you down!
Maybe they’re just fancy rocks, but they are truly spectacular to look at.
No matter your opinion on energy fields, holistic healing, or gem mining, I think we can all agree that crystals are beautiful.
And there’s nothing quite like beholding something raw and beautiful to ground you in the majesty of the Earth.
