Crystals have been used for healing, protection and meditation by civilizations throughout history dating 40,000 years. These practices have been passed down from generation to generation.

Although many people rely heavily on their intuition when working with crystals we believe its also important to understand the overarching science behind this work.

All matter vibrates at different vibrational frequencies. This vibration is called Dominant Oscillatory Rate or DOR. As humans we are made up of trillions of DOR's as each cell in our body vibrates at its own DOR. Crystals on the other hand only have one DOR.

The molecules in a crystal are arranged in a fixed repeating pattern. Unlike humans, this structure makes crystals highly stable allowing them to easily maintain their DOR. When we bring crystals into our energy field the process of entrainment begins.

Entrainment is when the rhythm of a more stable energy causes another to gradually synchronize with it. This is the Universe's way of bringing energies into balance.

Because of the precise stable energy of crystals they are used for many things in today's world. You may not realise it, but you probably use crystals daily. Here are some examples: watches, radio, TV, radar, computer chips, phones, solar panels, lasers etc.

All of these examples show that certain crystals act as resonators and transducers of electronic energies. Knowing this fact. it's reasonable to consider the idea that crystals may be capable of transforming and/or magnify other forms of energy that have not yet been measured by today's scientific tools.

There are some key points that must be understood before using crystals:

• Because your energy is unique to you so will be your experience with a particular crystal. Invest time experimenting, use the crystal meanings on our website to spark inspiration for your own rituals and practices.
• Crystals act as tools in your healing journey. they allow energy to flow more easily and are a tangible representation of your intentions. They are not your healer. You are your own healer.
