When you think about a crystal ball, what comes to mind? Perhaps some over-the-top portrayal of a gypsy with a gold cap foretelling the future as seen in the movies? While some imposter psychics may use a faux crystal ball as a cheap prop, the truth of the matter is that crystal balls have been used for thousands of years as a divination tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeeing\u201d into the ball is known as scrying, which means a gifted psychic has the ability to see images in crystals and then interprets them to provide helpful information that can help one make an important life decision. This could be anything pertaining to matters of the heart, career, financial outlook \u2014 anything goes. When the scrying technique is used with crystals<\/a> \u2014 including a crystal ball reading \u2014  this is what\u2019s known as crystal gazing, or crystallomancy. Here\u2019s a deeper overview of how this fascinating tool can aid a psychic into providing a crystal ball fortune reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact Versus Fiction: What a Crystal Ball Reading Really Is<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the thing. Crystal balls don\u2019t actually have power and unlike the Wicked Witch of the West spying on Dorothy, they don\u2019t display actual visuals as if you were watching television. The reality is that when a psychic falls into a trance-like state, he\/she may visualize images ranging from vague to solid images or even symbols. They will then translate these images into the guidance needed to help you resolve the issue at hand. On the flip side, some psychics <\/p>\n\n\n\n

don\u2019t believe that anything can actually be seen in a crystal ball, rather, they use it as a focal point for meditation<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Different Types of Crystal Balls<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are three major types of crystal balls: natural quartz, glass, and laboratory-grown crystal. It\u2019s interesting to note that the cracks, clouds, and flaws in the natural crystal ball are what help the reader see different visions. There are also specialty crystal balls such as the rose quartz<\/a> to help with the healing of emotions, smoky quartz to aid in grounding and the elimination of negative energy, and amethyst to help channel spiritual energy and interpret dreams. Malachite helps to reveal past-life connections and obsidian reveals the souls of one\u2019s self and others. As the color suggests, yellow stones (think topaz, citrine, tiger-eye, etc.) disclose the \u201cbright side\u201d of a situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there\u2019s an aura of mystique surrounding crystal balls, they really aren\u2019t as otherworldly as people think as crystals, in general, possess an electric charge (piezoelectricity) that can be transformed into electrical signals. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
