Crystals have some effects over our energy balance that can be obtained with their use We will not be touching here the use of crystal healing by means of a healer, we focus here into their use and the theory behind crystal healing. Crystals can be used to increase the energy that causes our healing, both in our body and mind. Unbalances in our energy fields can be caused by our mind while focusing on negative aspects. When this occurs there is a time before the negative energy is replaced by positive energy. This replacement can be helped by certain crystals that relate to our energy centers - our chakras. Let's see about the theory behind crystal healing. The Quantum theory considers the Universe and all things that make for it as existing in empty spaces with forms of energy moving within each space. Of course this includes our physical body which is an space with energy flowing in infinite forms through its own space. Our bodies handle energy like the one involved in feeding, breathing, waste expelling, etc. And also other energy handling occurs while our emotions, thoughts and spiritual aspects develop. As both, our physical and non-physical energy handling occurs within the same space - which includes our body and mind energy - that's why the close interaction that both have. The healing processes are considered as special flows of energy that change the way the destructive energy flows behave. These special flows of energy can be helped by the use of a crystal to improve and speed up the healing processes. A Crystal can be used as a tool to give to the healing flow of energy an important boost, focusing, and added power to achieve cure. Through the use of a crystal as a tool we can enhance, not just our health, also anything we undertake. Although a crystal occupy a different space than our body an mind, within the Universe there occur an interaction between our body-mind and the crystal's energy forms. The interaction is done through shared properties resulting from the energy flows. By example, the electromagnetic properties of a Quartz crystal share the same type of electromagnetic properties of the body, thus somehow the crystal's electromagnetic energy flows can positively interact with the same electromagnetic energy flows of the human body. Healing with crystals can be explained by the Quantun theory. This theory help to explain the effect of crystals in our psychological and biological life. Anyway, even disregarding the Quantum theory, the use of crystals have been a beneficial practice done by people through centuries. Through this practice the use of some crystals have been found beneficial for our healing processes. Below is listed the use of some crystals.
