How Healing Crystals Can Work with Your Candles
Maybe you are into healing crystals and wondering how you can integrate them into your candle journey. Well, we will share the details with you.
Crystals have fascinated humanity for centuries, and their unique properties have been recognized across various cultures. One fascinating aspect of crystals is their ability to interact with energy, a concept that can enhance practices like candle rituals.
How to Integrate Healing Crystals With Your Candles
Here’s how you can integrate healing crystals with candles to enrich your mindfulness, manifestation, and meditation practices.
The Science Behind Crystals
You might wonder what the connection is between crystals and modern technology.
In 1880, Pierre Curie, Marie Curie’s husband, discovered that applying pressure to crystals generates electricity, a phenomenon known as the Piezoelectric effect.
As a side note, in case you aren’t familiar with Marie Curie, we celebrate for discovering radium and polonium and making significant strides in cancer treatment.
Pierre’s discovery is crucial in today’s technology, powering everything from TVs and computers to iPhones and satellites.
Quite the power couple, right?!
Crystals and Energy Exchange
Just as crystals can influence technological devices, they can also interact with the energy in our bodies. While we’re not suggesting crystals replace modern medicine, they can support mental and emotional well-being.
Rather, by integrating crystals into your candle rituals, you can potentially enhance your mood and mental clarity.
Incorporating Crystals into Candle Rituals
At Southern Oak Artisan, we embrace mindfulness, manifestation, and meditation through our practices. We use crystals that align with our intentions for healing, prosperity, and peace of mind.
One way to harness the power of crystals is by using them in crystal grids, a practice with roots in Ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian cultures from around 2000 BCE.
Crystal Grid
Crystal grids can be as simple or elaborate as you like, guided by your intuition and creativity. For beginners, we suggest this simple crystal grid.
How to Use Your Crystal Grid:
- Place Your Candle: Position a candle in the center of your grid.
- Arrange Your Crystals: Place crystals that resonate with your intention in each section of the grid. There’s no right or wrong amount of crystals to use; it’s entirely up to you.
- Set Your Intention: Light the candle and focus on your intention. For instance, if you wish to manifest travel, meditate on this goal.
- Leave the Grid: Keep your grid in place for about 30 days, though the duration is flexible.
The Power of Visualization
This practice isn’t about magic but rather about keeping your intention at the forefront of your mind. Every time you view your grid, you’re reminded of your goal, helping to maintain positive thoughts and actions that support bringing your intention to fruition.
