In the metaphysical world, Quartz crystals are the supreme gift of Mother Earth. Even the smallest is imbued with the properties of a master healer . Ancients believed these stones to be alive, taking a breath once every hundred years or so, and many cultures thought them to be incarnations of the Divine.
Today's healers agree, believing crystals are living beings, incredibly old and wise, and willing to communicate when an individual is open and ready to receive. Wearing, carrying or meditating with a Quartz crystal opens the mind and heart to higher guidance.
Resonating at the level of an individual's needs, Quartz also amplifies whatever energy or intent is programmed into it, and continues to radiate that energy .. This may accelerate the fulfillment of one's prayers, intensify healing or spiritual growth, or simply allow the crystal to hold a pattern of energy long enough and strongly enough for the manifestation of a goal to occur.
