Crystals have been used since the beginning of civilization. In ancient Egypt, they were used by priests for just about anything – be it healing, protection, prosperity, strength, and many more. Different stones or crystals were used to achieve a variety of results.
Reiki crystals follow the same concept. In Crystal Reiki, they are used to boost a practitioner’s energy work because they are believed to have a natural ability to absorb energy. There are many kinds of crystals used in Reiki. Each has its own energy signature that can deal with various problems.
For a practitioner who’s just starting out in the world of Reiki, here’s a chart of the most popular Reiki crystals being sold today. These crystals have also been vetted by fellow Reiki practitioners.
