Connection + Crystals
I grew up in a religious household. For personal reasons, as an adult, I found it hard to lean back into my faith. It wasn’t until I started sourcing out different versions of spirituality that I felt like parts of myself were coming back into alignment.
For me - crystals began as a jumping off point to lean into a higher source. a higher source can mean many things to many people and here at Radiant Rituals, we aren’t here to tell you who or what that means. You get to decide for yourself. But for me, using crystals helped me to find an energetic force that pulsed through my body. It helped me to believe in something bigger than myself. This led me to finding more connection with the earth, with the universe, and ultimately with my higher self. It also led me to living a life where I leaned into the beauty that is all around me, and a trust that things would be okay. That feeling of security was something I desired my whole life.
Radiant Rituals was started with this idea at the heart. I wanted to find a way back home to a feeling of connection and wholeness, and crystals just so happened to be my jumping off point. A small place to dip my toe in the water with energy and spirituality. This grew over time and I began to find energetic shifts and rebalancing when I used crystals in my own practice. I began to create my own rituals within my life that helped me feel connected.
Backstory on Crystals?
Scientists know that energy frequencies are all around us. They are also within us. Our bodies are made of energy-producing particles that are in constant motion. Which means that we are vibrating and creating energy just like everything else in the universe. There are findings that say different vibrations can help to calm the body. This is why your breath is so powerful, or spending time in meditation.
The idea behind crystals is similar. Specific crystals can interact with the body’s energy field and can create balance and alignment. There is a long history of crystals being used for well being. Holistic healers believe that crystals have potent healing powers and can help activate healing within the body. It is the frequency of each stone that can aid in realigning our body’s energy.
Crystals in Radiant Rituals
Over time, I have felt like spirituality was difficult to navigate. Mystical as it may be, it shouldn’t be a practice out of reach for anyone. It shouldn’t feel like something unattainable to a person trying to find their way back to a higher connection and to themselves. Coming home to yourself should be a practice that we all find solace in and doesn’t make us think “Am I doing this right?”
And so began Radiant Rituals. A way to come back home to ourselves and find meaning and joy in the most human of experiences. Whether it’s a new home, grief or loss, celebration, or a child looking for security in the dark - Radiant Rituals was inspired to give someone a safe space to honor our cycles of life and find inner alignment, while also demystifying the “BUT HOW?” To provide a jumping off point to feeling connected to themselves, to their community of loved ones, and to our universe.
Crystals give a great place for a person beginning this practice and so we started there. Something beautiful and basic. Even without a person doing anything with the stones, they contain an energetic force that is lovely to just have around your home or workplace. Specific meanings and mantras are also included to go along with each stone to help along the way. We’ve taken some of the guessing out of it so that a person receiving this can really feel supported as they try this practice on for size.
