Crystals are part of ancient wisdom and they have been used as tools of protection, growth, and healing for a long time. Although a crystal does not create energy, it amplifies it. Nor does a crystal heal, but it conducts healing energies that are being channeled to you by the Earth or by your spirit guides. There are many ways to use quartz crystals, but using them in water is one of the most effective ways to "soak in" what a crystal has to offer you. Bathing with crystals enhances the natural healing powers of stones, infusing these vibrational frequencies of the quartz crystal into your body for the purposes of healing, higher awareness, grounding, and meditation.
