Crystals are semi-precious stones that harness the energies of the Moon, the Sun and the oceans, connecting us to Earth whenever we come in touch with them. Some of these crystals are very popular and sought after for their amazing healing properties. Through their physical, tangible forms, they are able to connect us to the Earth as they have very strong vibrations. By wearing such a crystal close in your proximity, preferably as a jewelry piece that is in contact with your skin, it picks up on your unique energy and works as an amplifier of your positive thoughts and intent, helping them to manifest in your reality.

While there are infinite attestations about their curative properties and effects, they ultimately depend on your own experience. To allow manifestation of the crystal’s positive properties, it will take a conscious effort from your part to open both your mind and heart to its power. However, once you do, you are set on the journey filled with mysterious and beautiful energies that will improve the quality of your life.

When you start your spiritual journey and start discovering the power of positive thoughts and vibrations, energy of crystals will help a great deal. The positive thought and intention are starting points in this process as they become instilled into your thought patterns and become amplified and distributed through the crystal’s strong vibration and energy.
