Himalayan lamps are more than just objects for home décor. Apart from their aesthetic appeal, these lamps also have a number of benefits for you and the environment, which makes them a must-have item for your apartment!  

They Cleanse & Purify the Air
Most people who use salt lamps are aware of their incredible ability to deodorize the air around them.  They can help remove the various types of contaminants present in the air such as dust, cigarette smoke, and pollen. But how does a piece of rock with a tiny bulb placed inside it cleanse the air?

Himalayan salt lamps absorb the water molecules present in the environment along with any other particles the air may contain, such as the contaminants. As the lamp heats up when lit, the water molecules that were absorbed by the salt crystals evaporate and are released back into the environment. However, the pollutants remain trapped in the crystal, thereby cleansing the air. This mechanism is known as hygroscopy.  

They Neutralize Electromagnetic Radiation
Our homes are stocked with electronics. Television, computers, and cell phones are amongst the things we use several times every day, among plenty of other appliances in our homes that are also frequently use. All of these electronic devices emit electromagnetic radiation, which can have detrimental effects on our health in the long run.

By emitting negative ions, Himalayan salt lamps tend to neutralize the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the electronic devices.  Placing these lamps near the appliances can reduce the hazards of constantly being exposed to EM radiation, and can help lower stress levels, chronic fatigue, and boost the body’s immune system.

They Help You Sleep Better
Wondering why you haven’t been able to sleep well lately? It may be because of the exposure to the abundance of positive ions in the air. An excess of positively-charged particles in your surroundings can actually reduce the oxygen supply and blood flow to the brain, which can cause a disruption in sleeping habits.

Salt lamps can help undo this effect. As natural negative ion generators, they can balance out the ions present in the room, improving the quality of the air as they do. This can significantly help you maintain a regular sleeping pattern leading to undisturbed nights of sleep.

You don’t need to leave the lamp on the entire night if you prefer sleeping in the dark!  Just have it lit up for a few hours during the day so that it can regulate the negative and positive ions in the room for you to sleep comfortably later.

Chakra healing has a multitude of benefits on your physical, emotional, and spiritual functioning. Not working to consciously have our chakras free of blockages can result in accumulation of negative energy, which can take a toll on your well-being. This is how chakras can be beneficial for you and why you need to indulge in chakra healing.

They Enable a Healthy Release of Emotions
Chakra healing creates an energy flow in the body. This allows for the negative, unwanted energy to be discarded, while the desirable, positive energy enters the body. Thus, the natural energetic system of the body reaches a balance, getting rid of negative emotions while retaining the positive ones.

The process allows for the individual to be able to express their emotions in a healthy manner, and they can enter a state of wholeness not just emotionally, but also physically.  In getting rid of the negative energy, the body uncovers ways to heal the emotions causing blockages. Therefore, the trapped energy is released relieving them of the persistent worry and stress, and leads to a greater emotional stability.

They Allow You to Know Your Inner Self
Knowing your chakras allow you to be able to truly feel your conscience. Doing so gets you closer to knowing your inner self, which ultimately leads you toward your purpose in life.

Healing and balancing your chakras let you reach the realization about the truth of your own existence, and the divine purpose it needs to fulfill. Particularly after healing your first and second chakras, you can reach a deeper and more thorough understanding of what it is that you’re meant to do in this world and how to go about it.

In essence, unobstructed and balanced chakras help you in realizing your true potential by reaching the supreme consciousness and moving past materialistic desires and needs.

They Improve Your Physical Health and Well-Being
Similar to how you would like to have your pulmonary vessels clear and functioning to enable a steady flow of blood to and from the heart, you also need to have clear chakras so that there are no obstructions for the vital life forces to be able to flow through them. Your chakras can become blocked due to negative emotions, poor lifestyle choices, and derogatory behaviors. Apart from giving you bad vibes and increasing the negative energy level, this also takes a toll on your physical health.

Chakra healing allows for unblocked and clear chakras that encourage a flow of positive emotions. This significantly impacts your mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being, which in turn positively affects your physical well-being. Thus, your chakras impact your health overall and if unobstructed, can boost your positive energy level.

When it comes to using healing crystals, everyone has different perspectives and approaches.  This has led to quite a few misconceptions about the healing process and the tool it makes use of.
Here are a few common myths that are not true.

There Is A Specific Way of Connecting With Your Crystal
Not only do crystals work differently for different people, each type of crystal has its own unique mechanism. This is why comparing two different stones for having a particular kind of experience, or comparing your progress with someone else just won’t do.  

There is no one way of connecting with your stone. It may take a person 2–3 weeks to be able to really connect with a gemstone, whereas another individual may feel the spiritual effects after a few days. Give your crystal some time before switching to another kind and don’t limit yourself to one particular method to be able to feel its healing properties take effect.  

Even just admiring the gems and touching them connects you with them. The connection happens when we become aware of the spirit of the stone. It doesn’t have to take time. It’s more of a ‘felt sense’ than a procedure.

You Can Only Use a Set Amount of Crystals at a Time
Usually, there is no limit to how many crystals you may use during your healing procedure. You can stick to one particular stone, or incorporate two or three different kinds depending on what it is you’re focusing on.  

That said, sometimes using multiple crystals can create a conflicting situation. Remember what they say about too many cooks spoiling the broth? Well, having too many grounding stones can have you feeling a little too grounded, and using more than a few crystals to stimulate your upper Chakras can cause your mind to become overloaded.

While there is no fixed number of how many crystals you should use at a time, make sure you’re not mixing together the ones with opposing qualities as they may end up cancelling out each other’s effects.  

The Prettier the Stone, the More Powerful It Is
You may find certain types of stones to be prettier and more appealing than others, but trust us; their appearance has nothing to do with their healing properties. Whether it is round and smooth, rough and chiseled, or polished and shiny, the power of the crystal does not depend on any of these physical traits. The same applies to the size of the crystal as well: bigger is not always better!

If the only reason you’re hesitant about purchasing a stone you otherwise feel drawn toward is because you don’t find it beautiful looking, you’ve got another think coming! Don’t base your choice on the appearance of the crystal; get one that has the healing properties you would like to attract.

Healing crystals have gained quite a bit of popularity over the last few years, especially with prominent celebrities sharing their own experiences of using them. How one chooses to use a crystal varies from person to person, and a particular method may be more effective for one individual but less so for another.

The good news is, there are so many ways healing crystals can be incorporated into your routine that ultimately you do find the method that works best for you!

Use It During Meditation
One common way you can use a healing crystal in your daily routine is by incorporating it in your meditation. You can place it on your yoga mat and feel the tranquility created by the crystals as you go about your routine. However, yoga’s not the only way you can meditate using the crystals.

In an alternate routine, begin by holding the healing crystal in your hands and keeping your eyes closed. Empty your mind from all thoughts and try to focus on your breathing. As you do this, you may feel you’re being drawn to the earth in a somewhat grounding effect, and your heart will feel light.  You may feel a lightness surround you.

How you feel during the meditation also depends on how well you connect with the crystal, and different types of crystals are likely to have a different effect on you.  

Place Crystals on Your Body
This may sound bizarre, but you’d be amazed by the transcendental effect it has, completely different from how you feel when holding crystals! Ideally, you should select a crystal that directly corresponds to the specific chakra you’re focusing on, and place it on your body accordingly. Doing so triggers the right kind of energy associated with that chakra and you can feel the healing process in motion.

For instance, you can use a quartz crystal and place it over your head when focusing on your crown chakra. This will help you receive guidance and you’ll possibly feel enlightened. Moving the crystal toward your third eye will take you into an even deeper state of meditation.

Carry It with You
If meditation is not part of your daily routine, you can take to carrying the crystal with you. This is an extremely doable and convenient way of using healing crystals as part of your everyday routine and requires no additional effort on your part.

You can carry the stone however you deem fit. Keep it in your purse, carry it in your pocket, or wear it as an ornament as you go about your day. Whenever you feel the need to center yourself and focus on the intention you have, you can simply pull it out from where you’ve kept it and hold it close to you to feel the positive energy.

The more in contact you are with your stone, the more conscious you will be about its healing energy and will feel more spiritually enlightened.
