In alternative medicine and Reiki, which strongly embrace the ayurvedic concept of chakras as human energy centers, crystals are used as a tool to clear blockages and align these energy centers to improve physical and mental well being. Each chakra is assigned a certain property, energy and color. Physics teaches us that energy equals movement. Movement, in turn, possesses a frequency which stands in relation to its energy level. This frequency is interpreted by our brain as color. The color of the stones is defined by which frequencies they retain or reflect. While a black stone absorbs light i.e. energy of all frequencies, white stones reflect all of it. Clear stones let light pass through and thus are considered to be highly energized.

Crystals are not to be used or thought of as universal omnipotent remedy to any ailment. They can be subtle supporters of a healing process when used by a knowledgeable practitioner. Though even outside use in “treatment” the energy the crystals contain by their very physical nature is thought to have a positive impact on the wearer.
