More and more, self-knowledge has been a recurring theme, because every time we live we have challenges and, therefore, the need for interiorization and balance to be able to deal with the internal and external worlds. And in that sense, a lot has been said about crystals lately, regarding their energetic powers. But we don't always know the way in which we should interact with them for healing and balance to happen.
I got to know the work of Cristóvão Brilho through the book “The Healing Power of Crystals: Soul Therapy and Body Healing”, and it became clearer to me how we can establish a connection with the crystals so that our balance is restored. So I'll share some excerpts:
1- “The moment you use crystals, the moment you work the energy of the crystals so that it works in your favor, you will benefit in different ways. One is that you gain self-confidence, you believe you can.” (p.14)
There are several lists with crystal names and what they are for. But it's no use if we don't believe in their healing powers and ours. Crystals are tools, alone they do nothing. For interaction to occur, trust in ourselves is necessary.
2- “The crystal balances the man. Man balances the planet.” (p.15)
Crystals have the power to connect directly with our energy, making it circulate better and healing even in our physical body. Therefore, in order for us to be agents of positive change for the planet, we first need to balance ourselves and crystals are available to help us.
3- “Spain is the country that has the privilege of owning the largest number of mines of this powerful 'solidified light' that is crystal” (p.25)
Crystals have always been used by ancient civilizations, such as the Hindu, Egyptian and Greek, as a form of protection and health improvement. We in España have the privilege of being in contact with large amounts of these mineral beings. Therefore, whenever we can consciously surround ourselves with this ancestral force, we will do ourselves good, and once balanced, so will our surroundings.
4- “There is information that is basic in the relationship between you and the crystal, with regard to spirituality. However, one of the easiest channels for establishing this relationship is through intuition. So if your intuition says do it, do it.” (p.26)
Just reading and knowing about the properties of crystals does not guarantee interaction that promotes healing, as it will only go through reasoning. Intuition is the initial bridge between us and crystals when it comes to self-healing and energizing.
5- “How to perceive intuition or reasoning?
Reasoning passes only through the head, intuition through the whole body, especially through the heart.” (p.27)

I know there are professionals who work with crystals in a profound and honorable way and I'm not saying that we should do all kinds of healing alone, because often the imbalance is great and we need help. But even in a situation where you are looking for a professional, it is necessary to believe in yourself, in your own intuition so that the crystal can then interact with our bodies.
The great lesson of this book for me was that for balance to occur, there are many tools and means, but none of them will be effective if we don't have self-confidence. It is within us that the key to change resides.
