Just like ourselves, crystals naturally come in all different shapes, sizes and colours, but can also be carved into different symbolic forms. The art of crystal carving is an ancient one that dates back to civilisations like the Mayans, Romans, Chinese and the Egyptians.
Just as each crystal has it's own unique properties, the shape or form of the crystal can also enhance it's inherent properties or even add new ones to the stone, which can enable us to utilise it in more or different ways.
The meaning of the Tower
The Tower
Now, in tarot people often dread seeing the tower, but that just is not the case when it comes to crystal towers. These darlings are absolutely revered!
These tall, pointed crystals are not only visually stunning but are also super powerful! Sometimes referred to as crystal points, the pointed tip of a tower is thought to act as a conductor, amplifying the energy of the crystal and projecting it outward. This amplification can enhance the crystal's healing properties and energetic vibrations. The elongated tower shape allows for focused, intentional direction of energy flow and the upward-pointing direction of a crystal tower is interpreted as a symbol of ascension and spiritual growth. The tower helps to raise your vibration, expanding consciousness, and helping you to reach higher states of awareness.
I honestly can't with towers, they are just soo freaking cool!!
How we love to use them!
Meditation: Keep your focus on a crystal tower during meditation. Focusing on the tower, (the shape, the colour, the crystal, the very tip) will keep your mind from wondering and really deepen your practice and help you to connect with its energy.
Energy Work & Healings: Use a crystal tower to direct energy flow during energy healing sessions or Reiki practices. The pointed shape allows for focused, intentional direction of energy flow. This directional energy is perfect for energy work & healings as it channels the crystal's energy towards specific areas of the body that may need healing or realignment.
Chakra Balancing: Use crystal towers that align with the 7 chakras to balance and realign yours or someone else's chakras for overall well-being & happiness. With the directional energy of the towers, you'll be completely balanced and living your best life in no time!
Each crystal has its own unique properties, so it's always a good idea to research the specific crystal you are working with or check out our Crystal Knowledge section to understand its individual energy and benefits, as well as the unique energy each shape brings.
Remember, the most important thing is to connect with the crystal in a way that feels right for you. Trust your intuition and allow the crystal's energy to guide you on your own unique path.
