Question:
"Hello Crystal Healers!!! My question is this: I consider myself a deeply faithful Christian, but was brought up in the church and have a great respect for all spiritual traditions. I don't see any one tradition as being "right" or "wrong." My involvement with crystal healing has only added joy to my life. However, as I have embraced the Christian church, I find that some people seem to think using crystals as "wrong", or not in alignment with Christian values. How do you cope with the naysayers and skeptics? What do you do to protect yourself from such negativity? I am sensitive to criticism and have a hard time letting it go. Maybe there is a crystal that can help with just that! :) Thank you so much. Much love and Blessings"
Answer:
Dear K,
Thanks for reaching out to us with your crystal question. I feel for you, because having been raised in a very traditional Christian family and church, I struggled with much the same thing. One of the best things you can do is to learn as much as you can about how crystals and energy healing work. I have actually found that reiki and crystals have increased my connection to God and given me a deeper understanding of many of the stories of Jesus' healing work in the Bible.
People react negatively about this based largely on fear, so the more you can lovingly educate those who are not completely closed off, the better you will be able to handle the issues. Even Jesus was rejected for his thoughts on God and how things should be, so as he instructed his disciples, "Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet." (Matthew 10: 14) Through history, Churches and Christianity have been run almost exclusively by men, who unfortunately, sometimes placed control over godliness. Healing arts, such as using crystals, were more often explored by women, who were already being blamed for man's fall to sin because of Eve's transgressions. So, since crystals and women could not be easily controlled, both were held at arm's length by the church, and much of that continues today, regardless of the church type.
One example I often give people who react negatively, due to their ignorance on the subject, is that we believe God made the Earth and everything on it, and called it "Good." That includes crystals and minerals. God did not make pharmaceuticals, and sometimes they are used well, and sometimes not. Still, we don't think they are evil, we recognize the intent of the user as being the determining factor. Crystals are part of creation and they contain many of the minerals and colors that we try to bring into our bodies through food, to encourage health. Crystals, I believe, are just another tool God gave us to live our best life as part of his creation. Crystals also use the geometry that God gave them to amplify energy. That is embraced by science and the medical communities in telescopes, medical equipment and even Quartz watches. We need not fear something, just because we don't understand how it works. A crystal used to glorify God through prayer or healing or love, is a Godly thing.
But those are just my thoughts on it--find ways to express how it fits into your theology, and that of your church.
Finally, for protection from negative energy, Black Tourmaline and Selenite are a powerful combination. The Black Tourmaline shields and protects. The Selenite protects by transmuting the negative energy into pure light energy. And one other thing that is the best protection: Love. When you feel fear or anxiety around this subject, you will be more susceptible to that energy from others. Focus on the love of Christ and feeling that for them and for yourself, and that will keep your vibration higher than the negative stuff you are sensitive to. (Another thing I've experienced a lot!)
Crystal Blessings,
Debbie Elaine

 Crystals are no different than herbs/ plants God has given us for healing. As long as we are acknowledging and thanking God for all the healing, since it all comes from God, using these are not a sin. Translations of the Bible sometimes change the meaning, and the NIV is one of the worst for doing this. KJV I think is best as King James' intention was to translate as close to original meaning as possible. Anyways, when we know God, the truth speaks to us regardless. Obviously if people are attributing the healing power coming from magical crystals and not God-given, then that is idolatry. The verse where NIV says "mediums" should be put to death is a complete misinterpretation as well. KJV clearly shows that 1. God is speaking to idolatry and consulting spirits other than Holy Spirit for guidance, future knowledge and/or magic power (which is, again, idolatry) is sinful, and the verse is just listing off the many forms tricksters hide these unpure intentions under, 2. KJV also does not say God is saying put the people to death; its actually coming after God's commandment to not kill and is listing times where culturally the society would kill to purge the society from unholiness. This is of course coming before New Testament replacing the laws with the understanding of agape (God Love) that Jesus came to share, and it is obvious from the testimony of Jesus that he would not kill any of thee people. KJV does not even use the incorrect translation word "medium"; it clearly states fortune/future-telling and magic powers not acquired from and attributed to God as being the problem. So if any Christians have problems with your crystals, ask them if they have ever taken a vitamin, herb or (worse) an pharma drug. The Native Americans were not worshipping the sun, trees etc as idols/ gods either... they wrote about their belief in Great Spirit (their understanding of Holy Spirit / God), and they were simply giving adoration to God's glorious creations in praise to Great Spirit that connects it all. Yes, it is fear causing divisions, the fear like the settlers had of the native americans. God calls u to Love. sent Jesus to show us what that looks like! And if we love some crystals that God made for us, there is certainly no sin in that! (Submitted by: Pamela on May 09, 2023) |

| Thank you for this response. I use crystals within my work to help others connect with whatever they choose to believe in. I always believe and thank the protection and love of God for my doing this to help others learn to relax and bring about good health in their life. I do not ask the person's to thank the crystals but more the creation and creator of them for how they benefit from them. I have had some negative comments recently on my work page regarding it is sin for me to do this. I believe they were created for us to enjoy and benefit from as much as plants and food have been. Your response has helped me greatly understand this. Thank you. God Bless. (Submitted by: Joanne on April 18, 2021) |
