Boost your memory with healing crystals

Can’t remember? Jog those errant memory cells with healing crystal therapy, says alternative healer, Mita Bhan

We all suffer from memory lapse some time or the other. Forgetting the name of an old acquaintance you bump into after ages; looking at a random clock and realising with dismay you’ve missed an important appointment; suddenly going blank at the sight of the test paper; these are all signs of normal memory loss. However, as we grow older, we grow more forgetful. Stress, illness and medication only add to the process.

What happens when memory lapses become frequent and can’t be dismissed as just being absent-minded? It’s no laughing matter. Probably it’s time for a check up. Your doctor may likely recommend a few tests and advise you to change your diet and prescribe more exercise.

Alternative therapies are also available. They are just as effective in boosting memory. Crystal therapy, yogic breath exercises and chakra healing are some great options to jog those errant memory cells.

Alternative healing therapies show positive results over time and with practice. Other positive side-effects are greater clarity, confidence and concentration powers. Crystal therapy is ideal for the elderly and young students alike.

The following healing crystals are recommended as memory aids:

Fluorite:
This healing crystal is easily available in India. A light-coloured crystal, it aids clarity and concentration. Fluorite helps the brain absorb information faster and better and is ideal for students and for those whose work demands great focus and concentration.

Opal:
Milky white or iridescent opal is perfect for strengthening memory cells. It is a delicate stone with a subtle vibration. A cleansing and rejuvenating stone, it is believed to be the best protector from negative energies.

Howlite:
White with flecks of gold, this calming stone helps primarily with anger but at a secondary level, soothes the mind and strengthens memory cells.

As with all healing crystals, it is important to cleanse them after purchase and get them energised by an energy healer so that the crystals work exclusively for you. For best results, healing crystals should be worn in the form of pendants or bracelets.

Healing crystals for memory work gradually and subtly at various levels – mental, emotional and physical. When coupled with nutritional supplements and exercise, they can effectively boost and strengthen memory over a period of time.
