Essential Crystals for Living
Crystals have been used for their energetic properties for thousands of years, and for good reason. Not only are they beautiful to look at, they are also powerful tools connected to the energy of the Universe. Each crystal vibrates at a specific energy level, which corresponds to certain qualities like love, compassion, protection, and abundance. If you want to call in certain qualities in your life, you can choose a crystal that will help bring that energy into your world and also help you cultivate that energy within yourself. It’s about your intention and matching the crystal with your intention.
Crystals come in all different forms, sizes, colors, and frequencies, it’s all about how you want to use them. You can place them around your home, meditate with them, or simply carry them with you throughout your day. Just having them in your personal space can help you tap into their healing properties.
