Whether or not you believe in the science of healing crystals, they are great items to leave in your room to clear all negative energy and provide an amazing aesthetic. Even if you’re just buying crystals because of their appearance, knowing what each crystal means and what they can do for you may allow you to make better choices in the crystals you buy, and raise interest in the entire idea of crystal healing. Written by someone who uses healing crystals regularly and has done an abundance of research and readings about them, here is a one-stop guide on how and why to use healing crystals!

Here is what I will be discussing in this article:

- What are healing crystals?

- What are the chakras?

- What do specific crystals do?

- How do I know which ones I need?

- Where can I buy them?

So... what even are healing crystals?

Crystals are capable of sucking up negative, harmful energy and replacing it with positive, warming energy. For me personally, they allow me to reach a higher state of clarity and understanding, make me feel refreshed, and bring me to a deeper place in my meditations. They have been used for centuries; historical evidence shows that it was commonly used in Ancient Egypt. The idea of their energy is that they were extracted from deep, energy-condensed caves, and that very energy is contained within the crystal and can be utilized through the crystal.

There are theories that claim that bodily dysfunctions, from headaches to kidney disease, derive from energy blockages within the 7 chakras. Not every crystal aligns with a chakra, but they all provide a specific force of energy to its user

    Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

    I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
