EVERYTHING is energy.

Everything, everywhere carries some type of energy signature. Whether it is your favorite coffee mug, a pen, or a rock. Many would label these items as inanimate. But is that really true? Sure, a rock may sit there and not dance or sing, but as I have continued to work with crystals, I find that they are indeed endowed with life and spirit.

Do they have a consciousness? Maybe not in the sense of the word as we know it, but I do feel that they have been infused with energies throughout their life, beginning with their development into being (time, minerals, energy, water) and later by those who imprinted their consciousness into the crystals themselves.

How does crystal energy work? Very simply, the energy signature held within a crystal carries a specific vibration. It can be any variation from a low, grounding, Earthy vibration to a higher spiritual one. Color also carries an energy signature,
which adds to the crystals’ vibration.

We choose crystals for their energy based on where OUR energy is at that moment. If you are feeling blue (sad, depressed, down), your energy is typically very low. Amazingly, you may be drawn to a crystal from the blue color family.
Why? Because blue crystals are known to be of a higher energy vibration. When you pick up that blue crystal, your own vibration is immediately raised to match the vibration of the crystal, making you feel better. The energy vibration of the crystal merges with our own energy vibration.

We use crystals to help with specific issues on a variety of levels- physical, emotional, and spiritual. We choose these crystals for the energy vibration that they carry. We, in effect, absorb the energy of the crystal into our own energy
field. Just like we ingest food, which in turn is absorbed into our body, crystal energy is absorbed into our energy vibration.

Crystals freely give of their energies. No judgments, no conditions and no expectations. The energy is pure, loving, and unconditional. They will also absorb the energy around them, again with no judgments.

Through the interaction with the crystal, a caretaker will learn about his or her own energy vibration. And in the learning will come those amazing “ah'ha” moments that will inevitably assist in growth. Vibration to vibration.

In this "human" experience we currently find ourselves in, crystals can be our teachers. They are amazing tools that will assist us in learning, healing, and growing within our own energy vibrations. They are presented to us exactly when we need them and for the purpose for which we need them (whether we consciously understand it or not). Energy to energy, one to the other.

It has been said that Source (the Divine, God, Goddess, Higher Self, whatever you choose to call higher consciousness) created these experiences so that it could know itself. For me, crystals are a reminder of Source and what we, in this human form, aspire to remember. It is a way to touch Source, to remember what we truly are. A way to connect with the Higher Self and commune with loving, divine energy of Source. And for me, that is how crystal energy works.

With love and crystal blessings,
