Hi K.M;

There is a mystery to crystal healing. Scientists are often looking for solid evidence that there is always something  accountable for measured repeatable observable effects. However, there are many things that science neglects such as the nature of spirituality in all things. Thus, the information is incomplete to provide a rational explanation for anything. For instance, when we look at the sunlight, most of us only see radiance. However, when we put a crystal prism to the light, we see the light refracted into different bands of light frequencies. Those colours were always present, but we lacked the ability to see them without the prismatic tool.  We also need the information to actually hold the prism to the light if we want to see something really exciting !

 

Similarly, healing energy is always present but many lack the tool, being crystals and many lack the information to both direct and receive the healing. Is there a vibration  like an earthquake or a truck rumbling by ? NO. The vibrations of a crystal are subtle. Many need to open another level of consciousness to actually feel and use the energy of a crystal. Without this knowledge and sensitivity, the crystal is just a rock.

 

Does the molecular structure have anything to do with the subtle vibrational frequency of the crystal ? Yes, very much ! If you are familiar with sacred geometry (see Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_geometry), and if you even have an understanding of the sublime architecture of the Moslem mosques that enjoy these principles, the inherent structure of a crystal carries the same link to the cosmos. Each crystal and each type of crystal provides a specialized link for healing as much as a specific train track takes you to your chosen destination.

 

When we wear the crystal anywhere on our bodies, we are tuning our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual systems to a larger cosmos. If we want to do more "local" healing, we can wear the crystal closer to the area we wish to heal, whether it is a physical complaint, to calm an emotion or maybe to work on unblocking a chakra, or to hold simply for meditative purposes. I usually recommend wearing the crystal at the Heart chakra as it is considered to be the centre of all things.

Please enjoy your red coral bracelet. It is o.k to wear the red coral at the wrist in this case as it is a gentle but effective crystal and your system will pick up the vibration without trouble. Tibetan women wear these bracelets everywhere on their bodies. The bigger the better !
