Crystal healing: a brief history of crystal healing.

My interest in semi-precious stones started when I saw my mother's collection of jewelries. I was attracted by the various colours of semi-precious stones on a traditional old Thai ring called Nopparut ring. This is very old designed Thai rings with nine colours semi-precious stones, cut in cabochon style. An old relative gave me a Nopparut ring as a present and I was supposed to keep it till I became a grown up with fatter fingers so that the ring would fit one of my fingers. Unfortunately the ring was stolen from the drawer a few years later. I was very disappointed with the theft and no grown ups bothered to replace my little ring for me!

Several years went by and I forgot all about the precious ring until one day a distant Chinese relative came to visit us. He seemed like an adventurer who traveled into wild places up in the country and went to mining areas where people dug for rubies and other precious stones. He looked like an old western cowboy from the gold mine in the outback. He brought a small packet out of his pocket and unwrapped it for us. They were several pieces of sparkling and shiny stones in his hand. I wanted to choose one or two pieces straight away. But he said he would sell them very cheaply for me.

Therefore, that's my first purchase of semi-precious stones with my own savings when I was about twelve years old. I chose two pieces of yellow sapphire without knowing anything about sapphire. I bought those crystals for the sake of their colours and beauty. A few years past by and I forgot where I hid my stones. Then, one day I realised they were stolen again! I was very disappointed and promised myself that one day when I became an adult with my own money I would replace all my lost stones.

Other worldly interests have occupied me for years and I was busy with growing up and studying for my future. One fine summer day. I walked around a Sunday market, a lady with very striking look in her eyes and face was selling lots of stones in all shapes, colours and sizes. I thought her stall was the most beautiful display I have ever seen for rocks and stones. I bought a few small crystals, some purple and clear quartz, including few pieces of Bostwana agates. I did visit the crystal stall a few times to chat with that interesting lady. I found out that she came from South Africa and she had lots of big rocks and crystals in her home. She was very psychic and seemed to be able to read my mind.

I still didn't pay much interest in crystal as a healing tool or mediation tool; I only knew I liked their colours so I liked to hold them in my hands. My obsession with crystals started about ten years ago when I was introduced to a crystal shop by my close friends. It was funny that I became closer friend to the owners of the shop while my friends had drifted off the circle. That was the beginning of serious research, experiments and taking courses in crystal healing. Crystals energy have led me to know other non-Thai healers and psychics! I begun to learn to communicate with crystals and have become somewhat more psychic than before. I have impressed various crystal-shop owners and they all gave me very good prices for big rocks! It was a very absorbing phase of my life and very rich learning process too. I am very grateful to all the rocks and crystals to have traveled across the world to be within my reach.

This video gives a very nice explanation about the history of human relationship with crystals which began thousands of years ago.

Wishing you peace, good health and prosperity.

Cheers.
