Crystal Healing & Weight Loss

Crystal healing practitioners advocate the use of stones and gems to treat many maladies. The energy of crystals, gems and stones can be used to help in weight loss and exercise efforts, as well.

Clear Quartz Crystal

• Quartz crystal is the most beneficial stone overall for healing and protection, according to crystal healing advocates. Because it acts as a prism to refract light into all of the colors of the spectrum, it is a multi-use stone that acts as an energy booster to all other crystals. Add quartz to your other crystal healing efforts, or wear it on a ring or necklace alone.

Topaz

• The golden topaz regulates the digestive system, according to Scott Cunningham, author of "Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem and Metal Magic." Relax and lie with a piece of topaz on your solar plexus, allowing the crystal's energy to penetrate and heal your digestive organs.

Moonstone

• Scott Cunningham suggests rubbing a moonstone over your problem areas three nights after full moon. Include your head as this will help to reprogram your thoughts and control your urges. Carry the moonstone at all times, pulling it out when you need a reminder to be strong against food temptation.

Amethyst

• The purple amethyst is a stone of temperance. Carry it in your pocket to promote temperate choices in your food and drink consumption.

Rhodocrosite

• Rhodocrosite is a pink crystal that promotes physical activity and can energize you during a new exercise program. It is also carried to draw love, including love of yourself. This relationship is often an important aspect of the healing work that you need to do as part of your weight loss efforts.
