Why Choose Crystals?
Why would we reach for crystals when we feel the need to practise self care? Crystals have long been used for their energies to aid the manifestation of feelings and emotions in ourselves. When we want to amplify a feeling, it can help to turn to specific crystals known for their specific vibrations to achieve what we're trying to feel.
We can use crystals to meditate with, to wear, or to pop around our homes or in our pockets. These are all ways to connect with the crystal and remember what we are working to accomplish.
