We are all made up of energy, so it makes sense that we want to keep our energy system strong. There can be a breakdown in this system by not spending enough time in nature, and by being by too many devices and unhealthy electromagnetic frequencies. A symptom of an imbalance is having emotional symptoms like depression, anxiety, and fear. We can also get physical symptoms like pain and fatigue.
Crystals have strong energy because of their repetitive geometric patterns. These can help strengthen our weaker, more vulnerable energy fields. The colors also give healing vibrations corresponding to the 7 energy systems starting at the base of the spine moving upwards. They correspond to the colors of the rainbow. We can also put crystals in our water, helping to structure our water, or some Himalayan rock salt to give us electrolytes and some grounding properties.
Copper is also a wonderful conductor of energy. The small amount of copper that your skin absorbs can ease the symptoms of arthritis by decreasing inflammation and improving the quality of the blood. It can also enhance the healing qualities of the crystals worn with it.
I have also found magnets to be very effective in moving out pain of any kind. The negative ions from the magnets help increase blood flow and oxygen to the area, bringing down inflammation. They help bring our electromagnetic frequency back to normal. You want to have the magnetic side (the North side) facing in to the body. Magnets can be purchased on line, or at your local hardware store. The tape is regular body tape you would buy at a drug store. You can wear your magnets for over a week if that’s what it takes for the pain to go away. After a while, the pain seems to go away quicker. I even use magnets for abdominal discomfort, or liver pain.
Supporting our adrenals with adaptogens helps restore our energy system as well. Holy Basil, cordyceps mushrooms, reishi, ashwagandha, ginseng, rhodiola, and licorice all help our bodies manage stress and restore balance after stressful situations. Food based vitamin C also supports our adrenals.
Getting out in nature is important, especially barefoot in nature to help us ground to the Earth. This is a great way to get in those negative ions and to detoxify. When our energy system becomes more in balance, we become more in balance. We become more in tune with ourselves, with our intuition and our mind. This makes us more zen, and that’s the goal!
