Crystals for beginners

I have recently discovered the wonderful world of crystals. I am hooked. I even have an online shop selling them – that’s how much I love them. Today I thought I’d put together a simple post pointing out the ‘must-have’ crystals if you’re a beginner and don’t know where to start.

It’s ok if you don’t really understand crystals and don’t get what all the fuss is about. I didn’t either, but as my love for them grew I started to read more and more about them. Call it witchcraft if you like! I’ve always been a little bit nutty haha, but if nothing else, they create a very positive vibe from within when I look at them. And they do make me happy because they also look amazing!

I feel that energy creates energy. So if they make me feel good, and I believe, I shall receive.

PLUS, they are aesthetically beautiful and can fill an empty surface in your home. Pop them on a console, in your office, next to your bed, or on a tray on your dining table.

A Brief History of Crystals

Crystal use dates back to at least 6,000 years ago to many ancient civilizations — the Romans, Egyptians, Greeks, and Japanese. Crystals were used to promote healing, enlightenment, and fulfillment. Crystals have long since been believed to have metaphysical properties and to enhance psychic abilities.

The crystals can act as a vessel for healing by allowing positive energy to flow into the body, whilst providing a way for negative energy to flow out.

Benefits

It is also beneficial to place crystals throughout your home, office and in a special space to constantly surround yourself with free flowing positive energy. From the large geodes to the small tumbled stones, each of these gemstones and their meanings have a balancing, positive effect on your body and mind. Healing crystals are not medicine, so you cannot rely on them to improve a medical diagnosis, but if you believe in them, they can improve your mood and mindset.
