Niche meditation communities often recommend healing crystals to their readers. But when they are asked how long does it take for healing crystals to work, they often don’t have any specific answer. So, today, we are going to answer this question and explain what the other factors are that play an important role in the working and effectiveness of crystals.
We believe it takes 24-hours for healing crystals to work. It doesn’t mean you see the results at once, but you notice some changes in your thoughts, feelings, and environments. They take you out from the negative feelings that don’t let you think clearly and block your mindset.
But, to make healing crystals work fast, you have to see them at least once an hour.
That’s why wearing a crystal ring or keeping crystal stones on your office desk or in your bedroom work like magic and makes you feel like a new person.
Even if the final results aren’t in your favor, the crystals give your thoughts a new perspective and make you see, feel, and experience things differently.
Therefore, it is better to use them to have a different angle of the situation.
Or, use them to have new thoughts that can help you in resolving the issues or achieving success.
Do Healing Crystals Have Magical Powers?
Don’t laugh. Some people may believe that they do and therefore this is a valid question to ask. But unfortunately, healing crystals don’t have any proven magical powers in the sense of granting you wishes or making things happen immediately that were previously impossible – but they do work in gradually changing your thoughts, feelings, and situations. We can’t and don’t recommend you associate these outcomes with magical powers or fantasies.
Instead, some suggest crystals are more linked with ‘Color Therapy’ or the ‘Placebo Effect’.
Allow us to explain these two factors in detail.
Color Therapy & Healing Crystals
To put it simply, color therapy has mood-boosting effects.
Color therapy is also known as ‘Chromotherapy’ in which experts use colored lights and objects to treat the physical and mental conditions of the patients. We perceive this sound silly if you haven’t tried or heard about color therapy yet, but it is true.
The colors have the power to change your mood, mindset, and emotions subtly. Every professional physician, businessman, graphic designer, leader, etc know about it.
Luckily, healing crystals are available in different colors and patterns.
Each crystal affects a person in its own unique ways. For example, if a crystal has a warm, bright color, such as ‘Orange Calcite’, it will influence your mood and health and make you feel playful. Put it in your room or office, and it will make the environment warmer and cheerer.
Similarly, the aquamarine healing stone is available in many shades of blue.
This well-known stone is loved by almost all healing stone users. Its bluish color relieves stress, brings peace, heals emotional trauma, and calms the heart.
When you assess the properties of healing crystals, you realize that most of them are related to their color. Their colors influence the mindset of a person in a specific way.
This isn’t a modern strategy or new-era treatment.
In fact, color therapy has been used by ancient Egyptians and Indians. Records indicate that they have a long history and their usage or methods have been evolved alongside our cultures.
When you see a specific color stone in a specific or beautiful design, it definitely affects.
Some believe that when you spend more money on it, it becomes more valuable. You feel good when you wear it, and its color provokes new thoughts and feelings inside you. In addition, you cherish it and feel it brings out a new side of you when you wear it somewhere special.
Now, it’s up to you to decide how soon a color has an impact on you. We believe it happens almost immediately in most cases. When you walk into a room full of blue objects, or blue themes, you experience serenity in your feelings. Likewise, when you see red or surround yourself with red or yellow color, you feel passionate and have a compulsion to do things at once. Ever wonder why stores mark their sale prices in red so often?
When you wear a crystal ring, and it stays visible, you feel a difference, and a 24-hour period is indeed more than enough to feel lasting impacts on your mood and even mindset.
Therefore, colors have the power to change you almost at once. Choosing both the right crystal and the right color combinations can have wondrous effects on you.
Placebo Effect & Healing Crystals
The placebo effect is the second aspect that decides how soon a crystal can work for you.
This is basically all about your belief in the treatment, process, or result. Take it like good or bad luck. When you connect things with your desired or undesired results, you are in a placebo effect. And, many scientific studies and professional-level researches confirm that it does work.
Keep in mind, placebo doesn’t have any medical effect.
It is more like a psychological effect. People believe in the benefit of the treatment, and they do start feeling better.
When a specific crystal starts giving you better and more-than-expected results, you start associating it with good things in your life. The more you wear it, the better your life becomes.
In reality, it isn’t the crystal that works; it is your mind that influences you the scenario is changing and things are working in your favor.
Placebo has a negative side as well, however when we talk about using crystals, we only talk and think about their positive impacts. Don’t think pessimistically when considering yourself and your situation, because our thoughts do sometimes have an alarming effect on our reality.
That’s why experts recommend opting for that crystal that gains your attention and love first. Your feelings are connected with it and you feel more safe and happy. It is the same as shopping for a new shirt or dress. You purchase the item because it looks good on you; it makes you feel good and perhaps like a new person in a way.
Surprisingly, the placebo effect still works even if you know about it.
Anything that makes you feel good or gives you hopes for better results has a placebo effect.
Conclusion
Once you have a working relationship crystal and you build up a psychological connection with them, they work fast. It also becomes easy for you to work with one of them based on your needs. The only thing you need to make sure of is the crystal you are using makes you feel good. Because if it doesn’t make you feel good, you won’t have the results you desire. If you carry doubts and negative thoughts about your crystal or color therapy, your results may suffer.
Apart from that, we believe one shouldn’t use crystals all the time. Once you get the results, take them off and put them in the drawer (or somewhere to recharge them!).
They should only be used when you need them as a color therapy or placebo effect.
