 Crystal Healing Myths and Facts

We welcome sharing of information and perspectives, handled in an open and respectful manner. Posting a blog here means we are interested in the topic and the viewpoint, but does not imply agreement or endorsement.

Crystal healing has gained massive popularity in recent years, after being endorsed by renowned celebrities like Adele and Katy Perry. Crystals are used in many spa treatments and meditative practices too, as they are known to produce relaxing and calming effects. Many people who have undergone crystal therapies swear by its healing power. Crystal healing has been employed for treating several mental and physical ailments, and it works. However, there are several misconceptions about how it works and to what extent. Let us discuss some common myths and lesser known facts about this extraordinary healing method:

Myth: Anyone can practice crystal healing

Anyone can learn crystal healing, but practicing as a crystal healer does require training. Mastering the art of crystal healing requires ample knowledge and learning. There are so many different types of crystals having unique properties. Any information on the internet is limited, and might even be misleading. If you want to become a crystal healer, you can undertake an online course, from a recognized teacher, to become certified. Crystal healing is not necessarily “harmless” and crystal healing, especially on others, can produce unwanted effects. The worst harm can come from not getting the right qualified and help in time. For medical conditions, it is important to consult the right doctors, get correct diagnoses and get appropriate care. All Healers should always be aware and responsible, and avoid any possibility of being accused of medical malpractice.

Fact: Crystal healing is a complementary and supportive therapy to medical techniques

Scientists and medical professionals refer to crystal healing as pseudoscience as there is no peer reviewed evidence to verify its efficacy for curing specific diseases. Studies show that using crystals and other gemstones for therapy has a positive influence on health; yet, scientists believe that it is partially due to the placebo effect. The use of crystals to facilitate healing is an ancient practice, which propagated more than 6000 years ago. However, modern treatments are inspired by traditional Asian concepts, such as the Chinese ‘chi/qi’ (life-energy), and the Buddhist/Hindu ‘chakras’.

Integrative Medicine, The Best of Both Worlds: Interview with Dr. Marcie Claybon

 

Ready to give up either/or thinking, transcend the debate and give yourself the best of both worlds? Dr. Marcie Claybon, integrative medicine specialist, shares her wisdom and knowledge. Note: We’re sharing our interview notes, this is not a transcription – for more information please listen to the interview.

Our guest today is Dr. Marcie Claybon, a medical doctor who speaks freely and enthusiastically about her Spirit Guides, and she has some very interesting viewpoints to share with us … Hello Dr. Marcie! Thank you for joining us. 

Thank you for having me on the show… 

Now, I’m particularly interested in what you are doing, based in my own professional experiences, so I wonder if we can begin with you telling us what you do? 

I’m an internal medicine physician by training.  I work as the medical director of a private club in Chicago called BIÂN, where I am building a concierge medical practice on-site.  For those unfamiliar with concierge medicine, it’s essentially an “active membership” to a private physician.  So individuals pay an annual fee to have access to my cell phone and email address 24/7 for medical advice and telehealth beyond traditional office hours. 

BIÂN, is a private social social club rooted in holistic wellness.  Essentially, this was a project initiated by a group of Chicago-based entrepreneurs who thought: “What if we created a space in which people could hang out or get work done, have coffee, enjoy a meal, work out, go to a yoga class, get a massage, AND see their doctors – all in the same space?  What if we could integrate health and wellness into everyday life?”

The intention of BIÂN is truly to represent a home for “integrative” medicine.  I think this can be honestly be an elusive and sometimes misunderstood term.  But the idea is that we’re actively utilizing a multi-disciplinary team of both traditional and non-traditional practitioners, who work together to promote overall healing.  Additionally, there’s an understanding, at least for me, that “integrative medicine” represents the idea that mind, body, and spirit are integrated as one – not separate entities, but one, single entity within a person.  

Marcie, as I said, I’ve had some of my own experiences with Integrative Medicine, and back in the 90’s we established an Integrative Health facility here in Cincinnati. First there was one and then suddenly there were more – but I found the enactment frustrating. What I’m finding interesting in your model at Bian is that there is more collaboration. It seems that as a doctor of western medicine, you aren’t automatically in the most senior position, is that fair to say?

Guest Blog: Balance Between Second Career and Self Care

Are you a reluctant entrepreneur? Are you “forced” to build a business because you want to help people? This article will help you understand how to bridge the gap. Another interesting aspect of this article, is that those of us in helping professions don’t get enough care ourselves. Let’s take care of the irony! 

Want to launch a new career, but not yet ready to give up your day job? You are not alone! But beware … time is at a premium and burnout is real. Here are some very helpful tips to focus your energy, maintain your stamina and help you achieve success.

As reported by Nasdaq, one in three Americans currently has a second line of work, with the number expected to increase significantly in the coming years. Working two jobs provides various benefits such as increased income, developing new skills, and faster repayment of debts. But it also involves dealing with increased work hours, financial overheads, and stress. For individuals looking to start a second career, this article explores three practical ways to balance work and self-care.

Create a Schedule

Handling a full-time job, and a new career, can become overbearing without a schedule. Just like your job, create a structure for work pertaining to your new endeavor. Decide how many hours per day or days per week you can realistically dedicate towards it.

Once you have a time estimate, you’ll be able to schedule tasks with ease and create balance in your work routine. Additionally, use project management tools such as Trello or Clarizen to create short-term and long-term task lists, stay on top of task progress, and set reminders for important deadlines.

Additionally, dedicate pockets of time you get during the day, like traveling and lunch breaks, towards supplementary tasks such as researching, uploading social media posts, replying to emails, etc.

Is There Such a Thing as a Crystal Healing Shop?

 

Is There Such a Thing as a Crystal Healing Shop?

“Find the sales people who care about you, and you will find the best metaphysical stones!” Vivien Schapera

Healing crystals can be found in a variety of ways that are both fun and exciting, but it is rare to find a shop that is dedicated solely to Crystal Healing. After we have looked at some of the favorite options, we can explore the advantages of an actual shop that specializes in Crystal Healing tools.

Gem and Mineral Shows

One of the best ways to find crystals is at gem and mineral shows. The dealers do not believe in Crystal Healing, although some of them may know something about the topic. At the large events there are 3 kinds of dealers: wholesalers such as miners selling products specifically from their own mine, distributors who are selling products from many different mines, and retailers who are selling products purchased from miners and distributors. The best pricing will always be from the miners who are selling direct and cutting out any middle men and the concomitant costs, but you usually need a vendor’s license and the capacity to buy in bulk. Gem and Mineral shows put a lot of different dealers into one event so one can choose from a full range of opportunities.

Metaphysical Expos and Fairs

Another excellent place to acquire Crystal Healing tools is at metaphysical expos and fairs. Again, what’s on sale is more general – but now in accordance with the metaphysical theme. Most of the crystal dealers will be in the distributor or retail category, but with the advantage that the buyer has an understanding of metaphysical dynamics. Buying crystals from someone with metaphysical knowledge is definitely advantageous and one can learn a lot when shopping at these events.

Stores and Shops

In our era, there are both brick and mortar shops and online shops where we can buy crystals, and of course most brick and mortar shops now offer online sales as well. Many of these stores sell on social media platforms too, like Instagram. At this juncture, it is important to exercise good judgment and proceed with caution. Why? Because once you are a targeted customer you are vulnerable to persuasive sales pitches, higher pricing and pseudo-information. “Like what?” you may well ask. Sadly, I have to document that there are dealers who make up stuff to gain a competitive edge, including winning the ear of new buyers. Not only is there misinformation, there are also fake stones – specifically synthetic stones being sold as rare pieces – like fake Moldavite. Hardly a week goes by without me getting asked to look at a stone to see if its “real” or to test a stone “to see if it works.” Stones are so lovely, with real healing properties, so it is disconcerting to find ourselves at the mercy of such con artists.

For all of the above options, it is important to take it slowly, giving yourself time to learn. Until you can trust yourself, trust your capacity to choose, and trust your knowledge of crystal pricing, don’t spend too much money in one go. Crystals have a hypnotic attraction, and you must first learn how to handle that before becoming a big spender. Remember that a salesman is a salesman no matter what is being sold. Some sales people are focused on making as big a sale as possible, and some sales people are focused on developing a life-long, happy customer who understands how to benefit from her purchases. Find the sales people who care about you, and you will find the best metaphysical stones! And that’s the reason why you want to find a Crystal Healing shop – because at a Crystal Healing shop you will find a sales person who is more interested in teaching you about crystals than in making a sale.

Personal Touch Stones – Vivien Schapera’s Crystal Healing Shop

The name of my crystal shop is Personal Touch Stones and the name exactly depicts 2 aspects of my crystal business. Firstly, I do personal shopping for people. I have a wonderful “hidden” talent – I can match people and crystals with enormous success. When I go to the gem shows, I can pick out the crystals that will please my customers, and I am so confident, that I carry both a commitment-free and money back guarantee. At the show, I do my best to fill my customers’ requests. When I return from the show, I send my customers pics of the stones that I chose for them, and then they can choose which they want to buy. All I need, is a budget guideline and some familiarity with their taste and style. This “familiarity” is easily acquired by seeing photos of a customer’s 3 favorite crystals.

Secondly, every person and every crystal receives “the personal touch” from me. I hand select all the stones that I buy for inventory. I check the dynamic of each and every stone to ensure that it can fulfill its function. “What function is that?” one may ask. Indeed, that is an excellent question. My Crystal Healing shop specializes in tools for Crystal Healing and even more specifically, for Crystal Surgery. Then, when it comes to selling the crystal, I make sure it is:

• What the person needs
• What the person wants
• In accordance with budget
• A good match

That is the big difference between shopping at a general outlet vs. shopping at a dedicated store – the knowledge and insight that goes into selecting the inventory, as well as the knowledge and insight that goes into the point of sale.

I am not the only Crystal Healer who also sells crystals. Many of us do, because we know how important it is to ensure that special healing crystals are getting into the right hands. Also, we love to share our knowledge, and the best way to do that is to pass on well-matched crystals that will inspire and mentor their new earthkeeper. How great is that!
