Wait…But What Are Crystals? 

Let’s break it down, shall we? 

Being the Homo sapiens - as we are! - every cell in our body vibrates as we move, shift, stress, eat, laugh, love, or do anything, every movement is a new vibration we are unaware of. And these vibrations help us to stay connected with the world - also keep us alive! 

But the fun part is, that even if we are not about to feel the vibrations every time, we can tap into their power and enhance them. This is where nature’s little masterpiece - energy crystals - works the magic. Created over millennia, healing crystals harness the life-giving forces of Earth and the universe. These crystals with energy connect us directly to the universal energy that helps us move through our lives - they are literally your lifeline! 

What makes them magical? Their unique molecular arrangement is what gives them their powerful energy. Take these energy crystals as the WIFI of the Earth, they hold and transmit energy, and all you have to do is "connect" with them.

Using crystals for spiritual and healing purposes has been an ancient art - ask the Mesopotamians and Egyptians - who used these sparkling stones for spiritual as well as ornamental purposes around 4000 to 3000 BCE - even the mummies used them as the “afterlife navigation tool”! 

Healing Rocks or Placebo? 

People mostly wonder if the power of crystals is real or just in our heads. Alright, let’s demystify the magic! Have you ever walked into a room feeling slightly “off”? That’s what you call - a vibe check! Crystals with energy interact with your body's energy, absorbing, storing, and transmitting them in a flow. Each type of spiritual crystal holds and acts uniquely if you wear or hold them, aligned to your body’s energy meter - it’s like tuning to the same radio station! 

Crystal therapy uses a mixture of stones and accompanying vibrations to open and access different portions of the body, mind, and spirit - and we the intuitive community to thank! Even then, you need to believe and feel the magical essence of healing crystals.
