Personally, crystals have been a massive aid to my mental health so this is the area in which most of my expertise lies, Since starting my own crystal journey, I've been passionate about educating others and sharing my passion with the world and so Wildflower Gems was born, as our direction shifted from jewellery to larger pieces, the central belief and heart of the company has remained the same, to help bring healing and solace into the lives of others with crystals as they have for me.

​

Below I've shared some of the knowledge I've gathered over the years however, one of the wonderful things about crystal healing is how personal and individualised every practice can be so its always a great idea to have fun and see what works for you and most importantly, follow your intuition.

 

Everyone's experiences with crystals and crystal healing are different, Some people are more sensitive and receptive to certain energies and, for example may feel a tingling sensation when interacting with a crystal while others may not, and that's completely okay! This doesn't mean you cannot benefit from crystal healing.

​

Crystals are known to have been used for their healing properties ever since humans first started recording history and have been a part of many cultures and the lives of many ever since. The science as to how crystals work is constantly changing as we're still learning to fully understand  these beautiful gifts from the earth. There are three main ways that crystals and crystal healing 'works' - Through colour therapy,  the energetic charge built up within them interacting with the vibration of a persons aura and through intention.

​

Colour therapy with crystals works on the basis that certain colour wavelengths cultivate certain feelings and emotions, for example, blue invokes feelings of calmness, trust and acceptance in many people. The colour of a crystal is also associated with the chakra they are linked with for example,  pink and green is associated with the heart chakra so crystals of those colours such as rose quartz and malachite are well suited to healing the heart chakra and often have properties such as promoting compassion, self-love, trust, feelings of peace and emotional openness.

​

So how do crystals heal energetically? When crystals form, an energy field is created around the crystal due to the way the crystal's lattice is structured, This means they can accumulate energy (this is why some energetically sensitive people often feel a tingling sensation when handling a crystal) , hold an electric charge and respond to external energy fields such as a persons aura or the earths energy field. We call the building up and storage of electric charge in crystals the piezoelectric effect, it is because of this that when a crystal is placed near someone or worn within  their personal energy field that healing can be promoted as their presence can gently alter the vibration of that persons aura and this is why over time, crystals can become more attuned and responsive to their owners.

​

Now lets talk about intention, The potential energy within a crystals lattice can be invigorated by intent (Focusing mental energy onto a stone or crystal) we can use intention to help bring forth certain healing properties already possessed by the crystal. One way that this can be done is by holding or rubbing a crystal while focusing on a what you'd like the crystal to do for you and what healing properties you want to receive, over time this intention will become stronger both within you and in the crystal and it'll be more attuned and receptive to you.

A lot of the crystal healing information provided, both on our website, social media and other selling platforms are based on our own experiences and the experiences of others that we have worked with and learned from and for this reason we cannot guarantee them for everyone, I always recommend having fun with your crystals and following your intuition with them first and foremost!
