Shapes of Healing Crystals

One of the blog topics my therapist gave me this week was Shapes. She left it very open to interpretation. Something that I think is very interesting are crystals. Many people believe some crystals to have healing properties. For example, rose quartz is known as the "love stone" and is said to enhance relationships, creates a calm atmosphere, and dispels negativity. Hematite is one of my favorite stones and is said to enhance thought and provide a deep grounding.

Every detail of a crystal is important, including its size, its color, and its shape. All those details influence how energy flows throughout the crystal.

I found this wonderful list by author Kathleen Odenthal Romano that breaks down the list of shapes beautifully. I am only going to share a few of the shapes but I recommend you check her blog out for a full list.

The Cube - Many crystals come in the shape of a cube. This shape is able to harvest a significant amount of energy and can be very stabilizing. Like the calculated nature of their shape, these crystals are easy to program and are known to secure intentions well.

These unique crystals often look like rods or wands, however they are unique because they have points on both ends. These crystals are very powerful because they have the ability to transmit and emit energy from two places. Sometimes one end may be releasing energy while the other point is transmiting energy, other times both points may be transmiting or emiting energy. Because of this, they have many purposes, but should be used with care.

The Heart - The heart shaped crystal is known to attract loving energy, as well as energies that can help those with negative emotions. This healing crystal deals with the mental body, and works to deter sadness, grief, suffering and pain. The heart crystal has also been known to increase fertility.

Hematite Heart

The Pendulum - This popular crystal shape can easily be made into a necklace or used as a pendulum. When worn, this crystal is a great protector and healer. It also identifies imbalances in the human body. As a pendulum, this crystal can be used for a wide array of purposes, mainly by experienced energy workers.
