Crystal Healing 101: What It Is, How It Works, and Why People Use Crystals

Welcome back to Big Crystal Energy! This week, we're returning to the foundation of the podcast and exploring one of the most requested topics of all: crystal healing. ✨

Whether you're completely new to crystals, a longtime collector, or simply curious about why people have worked with stones for thousands of years, this episode offers a fresh look at the history, science, and spiritual practice of crystal healing.

Ashleigh explores the ancient roots of crystal healing, the scientific concepts often referenced in crystal work—including coherence, entrainment, piezoelectricity, and frequency—and why crystals continue to fascinate healers, scientists, and spiritual practitioners alike.

Along the way, she shares personal reflections on her own crystal journey, how crystals helped reconnect her with joy and purpose, and why Big Crystal Energy was never really just about the crystals—it was always about the transformation that happens when we align with what lights us up.
