Introduction to using crystals
I am not claiming to be an expert on crystals, but I do know from MY experience crystals WORK differently for everyone.
Working with crystals is an intuitive practice, and the more you engage with them, the more confident you will be in your intuitive inner knowing and guidance.
Crystals are not just ‘pretty rocks’ as some may say, crystals are actually living energy! Millions of people on the planet, notice the energy they give off or the healing, luck & protection they bring.
And just as we can look at footprints in the sand, as a sort of energy that we can see has been left behind, as proof that energy was once there, crystals too show their energy by the vast number of unimaginable colours they display.
Each crystal is unique in their appearance and they CHOOSE their owners or caretakers, if a crystal disappears on you it means it has fulfilled its’ purpose for you in this life and has ascended to a new dimension.
Here are 5 ways you can start to use the power of crystals in your life.
