Crystals: Amplifying Energy and Connection

If you’ve attended one of our qigong classes, or Reiki healings, you’ve likely noticed our love for crystals! We enjoy setting them around the practice space and occasionally gifting small crystal treasures to students. Crystals have been cherished for centuries across various cultures for their ability to harness and amplify energy. Each crystal carries its own unique frequency and vibration, influencing both our personal energy field and the energy surrounding us. In modern holistic practices, crystals are often used alongside meditation, Reiki, and qigong to enhance healing, promote balance, and deepen our connection to the Earth.

The use of crystals aligns beautifully with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and qigong, both of which focus on the flow and balance of energy. For example, jade—associated with the kidneys in TCM—can support energy flow when used during Qigong practice, especially in the winter season, which corresponds to the kidneys. Rose quartz, linked with the heart, encourages love, compassion, and emotional healing. By placing specific crystals on targeted areas of the body or incorporating them into your qigong practice, we can enhance and restore balance to our energy centers, deepening the impact of our practice.

At Good Energy Qigong, we especially love pink opal! Connected to the heart, pink opal gives hope to all who harness its optimistic energy. This joyful stone has the ability to amplify thoughts and feelings and surrounds you in sweetness and light. Pink opal lends courage to dive deep into divinity and healing.

Vanessa, the owner of a Quechee crystal shop, reminds us that we are energetic beings with the power to influence our vibe. We love her suggestion of committing to daily energy check-ins. Use a grounding crystal, such as Smoky Lodalite during meditation or qigong, or simply place this beautiful crystal around your home or workspace as a visual reminder of your energetic power. Vanessa offers a selection of stunning Smoky Lodalites in her shop, Boho B, as well as many other beautiful treasures.

When you combine the healing properties of crystals with the energy-balancing techniques of TCM and Qigong, you’re tapping into a holistic system that nurtures your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Not to mention it adds a bit of fun and whimsy into every day life. :)
