“If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” I have been asked many times why I like “rocks” so much. Well, rocks are minerals, they can be made up of one element or several different types of minerals. As a human, we need minerals and vitamins to supplement our diet and make sure we are getting the proper nutrition we need. Collecting rocks or strategically placing crystals in and around your home is no different.
Let me get something clear, I am not a scientist by profession, but I am curious and inquisitive by nature. So I would say I am a scientist at heart. So when I learned that matter is made up of mostly empty space because atoms are 99% empty space, which means we are 99% empty space my mind was blown. So what is going on in all that empty space? There is movement! Atoms huddling up together, energy transferring and exchanging creating vibrations. This is what people mean by “good vibes?” yes! So if our bodies are constantly changing and evolving then that means our energy fields and vibrations are in constant flux. I mean think about it, your are exposed to social media, the news, other people and all of this can affect you. As humans we are easily influenced, and if our healthy vibration frequency drops, we can get sick.
As someone who was very sickly for most of my childhood and young adulthood, it would have been helpful to know what tools were out there to help me increase my vibration. There are many out there which include stress releasing with breathing techniques and meditation. But another fun tool includes surrounding yourself with objects that have a stable energy, like crystals! Their frequency does change as easily, and can help ground and protect your energy. Crystals are millions of years old, while humans are 1-100 years old. No wonder our frequency can change so easily. One of my favorite crystals is Citrine. This stone is associated to your third Chakra. To learn more about Chakra’s check out this blog post. Citrine can help you embrace your power and increase confidence. If you find you are indecisive in business or need help with creativity this crystal can help channel this energy, your energy and can balance some of the anxiety you might be feeling about your career.
So what if you don’t believe in all that? Again, I am not a scientist of any sort. But they make me feel better and they sure are pretty.
One of my favorite crystal shops is Leonard Crystals. Its a great place to start if you are interested and want to know more, or if you are a seasoned rock hounder and crystal lover.
