The Down Low on High Frequency Crystals
We love high frequency crystals, right?
They’re powerful, sexy, activate higher levels of consciousness + psychic awakening…
What could be bad about high frequency crystals?
Nothing, per se, BUT, they can throw you out of balance if their energy is too much for you!
Remember that just because a thing is natural or spiritual doesn’t mean it’s good for you:
Snake venom is natural.
Hobgoblins are spiritual.
The key to working with high frequency crystals is balance:
Taking a balanced approach and balancing their energy when you feel the need.
Here are some of the energy side effects I’ve observed from a few high frequency crystals over the years:
Celestite
Herkimer Diamonds
Clear Quartz Cluster
Celestite: lauded for its spiritual properties, celestite is also my prime crystal for reducing inflammation. The downside? If you already have sluggish digestion or cold, damp energy conditions in your body, it’s cooling energy can exacerbate those conditions.
Herkimer diamond: can throw your 3rd eye center out of balance, creating feelings of suspicion, projection onto others, egocentrism, headaches, and symptoms of blockage.
Clear quartz: it amplifies, magnifies, and directs ALL energy, the good, the bad, and the poo-poo. If you’re feeling anxious, ungrounded, hyper, stressed, it can make you feel more so.
Danburite
Moldavite
Selenite (Satin Spar var.)
Danburite: can be overwhelming energetically, making it difficult to feel connected to your body, reality, emotions, or other people.
Moldavite: a crystal of transformation that can sometimes trigger too much change too fast. You can experience upheaval, anxiety, have dark visions, or feel not yourself with this crystal.
Selenite: is lovely but ungrounding! If you’re feeling spaced out, not present, or you’re having trouble managing the day to day of your life effectively, selenite’s energy can be why.
What to do?
If (and only IF) you experience any of the above symptoms while working with these crystals:
just give them a rest for a little while
work with them only in small doses of time on a moderate basis
balance them with a grounding stone like smokey quartz or bloodstone
Remember that it’s not about avoiding these crystals for fear of experiencing side effects, it’s about working with them strategically, wisely, and responsibly to help you achieve the results or transformation you desire.
Happy healing!
