Crystals aren’t just pretty rocks but are used by many for healing purposes, to promote the flow of positive energy and rid the body of negative energy, serve as intention holders, and can even help block EMF (electromagnetic fields) radiation. Crystals are used in massage, yoga and meditation practices to improve focus, promote relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, boost balance or even enhance connection to spiritual realms. There are so many different crystals, that I highly recommend finding a local crystal store with helpful staff to help answer questions or reading about which crystals may be best for you. There are also crystals that work well together and some that should be separated. As with all things, do your research, ask questions, experiment with different crystals and listen to your intuition to guide and help choose which are best for you. Crystals should not be used instead of medical treatment.
