Refracted-Sunlight Crystal Healing
Crystals have long been viewed as powerful healing tools for diseases and imbalances. Sunlight contains energy that reaches the planet from the sun. Refracting sunlight through a crystal focuses the light, in theory amplifying the healing effects.

Healing
-
Healing in any form---drugs, acupuncture, Reiki, aromatherapy, crystal therapy---all may help an individual's natural systems to reactivate, harmonize and start the healing process within the body. Some believe crystals are filled with energy, have the ability to transfer energy and are also conduits of energy. Crystal therapy uses the frequencies believed to be given off by the crystals to harmonize the energy field of a person's body. Crystals have been used to assist with physical, emotional and spiritual healing by attempting to boost one's natural healing powers.
Light
-
The frequencies of light that particular crystals emit are believed by some to directly influence the body's biochemical processes. Since all matter is made of energy and therefore has a frequency, there is always motion and vibration, whether one can visually see this or not. Using this knowledge is the basis of healing with crystals and light.
Cellular damage, illness, and imbalances of the mind, body and spirit may be affected by beams of light that penetrate the body deeply into the cells. Some believe light can start or stop chain reactions in the cells, helping to assist the healing process of cellular damage and disease.
When light is introduced to the skin, it may be absorbed and sent along the same energetic pathways or meridians that acupuncturists use in healing. Sending this light down these pathways may stimulate the communication on an intracellular level, which is believed to stimulate the healing process.
Yogic and spiritual healing claims the fundamentals of healing to be rooted in light and color. Dr. Fritz Popp, founder of biophoton research, has worked to prove the communication between cells happens through light and is the basis of bodily functioning.
Refraction
-
The atoms in clear quartz crystals are joined in unity and harmony, as if they were pieces of a puzzle. This integrity of the crystal's composition is believed by some to manifest at a molecular level, vibrating at the same frequency, amplifying the healing effects.
When light passes through a crystal, the light is refracted, transducing it into the colors of the rainbow. Each color holds a different frequency, therefore a different healing property and communicates differently on an energetic level.
Uses
-
Light and crystal healing have been used for a wide range of physical, emotional and spiritual healing---from emotional trauma to skin irritations. Using healing light may help people suffering from depression and seasonal affective disorder.
