The Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old, and crystals have been forming since the Earth began. What many people don’t know is that, aside from being beautiful, crystals can be used for healing and a form of therapy.
Crystals give off energy, and the energy that each type gives off is different. Subtle vibrations occur and are specific to the type of crystal, or crystalline structure. These energies can help strengthen your inner self, as well as make you feel good.
Having crystals in your atmosphere is an easy way to feel happier. They are absolutely gorgeous, and the energy they emit will make you feel more comfortable. Certain crystals are believed to protect against negative thoughts from others, some to even help with confidence, like tigers eye, diamond, and jade. Copper, Moonstone, Malachite and Green Aventurine are thought to bring luck!
Quartz, amethyst, kyanite, and citrine are some crystals that are good to be used in meditation and yoga. Quartz has excellent healing and amplification properties. Amethyst has protective and healing properties and is thought to increase intelligence. Kyanite’s energy encourages one to examine all aspects of oneself. Citrine can help one achieve happiness and joy. Before meditation, place the crystals around you where they make you feel most comfortable.
My favorite crystals are amethyst, quartz, and selenite. I feel my happiest and most energetic when they are surrounding me. I like to turn them into jewelry and wear them on my neck, and collect them and put them on my shelves. I notice my plants are thriving the most when I’ve thrown a few quartz crystals in there.
Aura crystals have been altered physically and energetically by fusing precious metals to the crystal. They radiate energy and make the crystals sparkle beautifully.
Crystals can make wonderful decorations because of their stunning beauty. But don’t let that limit you -- wear them, carry them around, or use them for things like calming down when you need to. Pick up a crystal and see how you feel, I know it will be great.
