Metaphysics and the Body
- Mental
- Emotional
- Spiritual
- Physical
We can experience misalignment (deviation from our natural balanced state) in any of these aspects, which may then affect the others. Treating only one may temporarily ease symptoms, but leave the original cause. Holistic healing, therefore, seeks to bring all levels of being into alignment to return us to our healthy and natural state.
Most metaphysical healing techniques focus on balancing energy. The techniques are not meant to replace medical treatment—in fact, it is best used in tandem with such care. While modern medicine treats the physical symptoms, we can harness our energy to heal our less tangible aspects. To that end, there are several popular and accessible methods you can use to start your alignment journey. Here are some examples:
Healing Crystals & Gemstones
Many individuals use tools to help them redirect or charge energy; A common choice being healing crystals. The type, shape, and even color of crystals influence how they may be used. A few widely-used crystals include:
Amethyst
Amethyst is a semi-precious violet stone can help shift your energy to a more spiritual state, helping you feel uplifted.
Jade
Jade is a mineral that is well-known for its vibrant green color and may be used to aid you in achieving balance.
Ruby
Ruby is a classic crimson precious stone can help charge your spiritual self when you’re feeling drained.
There are thousands of options when it comes to crystals, and each person may find they respond better to one type than another. Because of this, some experimentation may be in order to find the right stones best suited for you.
One of the most significant advantages to healing crystals is that once the right stone is determined, the application is simple. Lay the crystals on your body, wear them as jewelry, sleep near them, or choose to use them in meditation. Whichever way you decide to use them, you will experience their effects; however, physical contact is the most direct way to receive the benefits of a crystal.
Essential Oils For Healing
Essential oil therapy utilizes the properties of different herbal oils to treat various symptoms. For example, ginger is known to help relieve nausea and inflammation. Other essential oils have a calming effect, such as lavender, which can help soothe mental or emotional turmoil. Some individuals use particular scents when meditating to help them achieve their desired state of mind.
Rather than using an entire ginger root, the plant is distilled into a more concentrated form, which we call an essential oil. The oils themselves are not oily in texture. Their name comes from their chemical make-up, which includes oil-soluble plant materials.
There are two main methods to use essential oils: inhalation and absorption. Inhalation may be achieved by simply breathing in the scent from the bottle or application site, or by placing the oil into a diffuser for a wider range. Absorption involves rubbing oils into the skin on areas which may benefit from the oil’s properties, such as using ginger on arthritic fingers.
