Crystals can be a charged subject.

Perhaps you’re head-over-heels for the rose quartz under your pillow. Or perhaps you turn up your nose at anything too “woo-woo”, but the idea of crystals is interesting to you for some reason.

I totally get it. If your logic hat is on tight, it doesn’t make sense. I practiced law for a decade, and now I’m a prosperity mentor and animal communicator (and making more money doing the latter, crazily enough!)

So let’s take it all the way back to basics for a moment and talk some science about energy, how energy moves, and what it has to do with our bodies.

You’re already carrying a crystal in your pocket – surprise!

LCD screens – like the one on your smartphone – are made of crystals. After all, LCD stands for Liquid CRYSTAL Display and refers to chips that are powered by silicon and quartz.

Why quartz? Well, Quartz regulates and stabilizes the flow of energy and is, therefore, used in many watches and clocks to help them keep time. Crystals have perfect geometry and a certain frequency and can actually conduct energy and electricity.

Our bodies conduct electricity as well (this is why defibrillators work), and since crystals are conductors, crystals can amplify our natural energetic pathways and frequencies.

You don’t need to worry about crystals going in and clogging up your energy because crystals retain their perfect form and shape regardless of the energy around them. That being said, just like meditation, crystals intensify the energy around them. Ever get frustrated ‘trying’ to meditate or hold a crystal and feel a sudden charge in your emotions? It’s because the crystal is amplifying the energy inside you.

Why logic clogs us up

And, us humans often have volatile energy running in our field! The thoughts you think and the function of your organ systems release chemicals. Those chemicals interact with other chemicals throughout the bloodstream.

As I teach in my free guide Your Guide To Intuitively Knowing What Your Pet Is Trying To Tell You, we were designed to operate from intuition, not logic. Animals operate from intuition on the daily; they’re not overwhelmed by daily concerns or the argument they had a few weeks ago at work. The energy flows freely and from instinct.

The science of energetics

This energy not only interacts in your body; it also interfaces with the space outside your body. This is because everything in the Universe is made out of energy and is always in motion.  

Recent tools have been developed, such as the SQUID magnetometer, which can measure how our own bioenergy permeates the air around us. The energy around us enters our bodies, and the energy we emanate enters the bodies of others.

Choosing the right crystal for you

Before you even go on a crystal-buying spree, it’s best to do some introspection. What are the areas of life in which you feel blocked or a little zapped? Are there certain things that cause you to feel more aware, less aware, or something in between?

Does it feel like you can “name” the blockages? Or do you feel more like there isn’t anything glaringly wrong, you just feel more “off” than usual? (The latter is actually more common.)You might need to work with an expert to get totally clear on your needs (I do that, btw). Once you have the direction you need, I recommend checking out Love Thirteen for more information on specific crystals, their qualities, and making your own purchasing decisions.
