In this section we are going to talk about different crystals for different reasons. There are hundreds of crystals out there and it can be so intimidating when you first walk into your local New Age store because there are so many different crystals and you don't know where to start. So I figured I would talk about some of my favorite crystals and the reasons why I have them. So you kind of have a place where you can start. So when you do go and purchase these crystals, you kind of have an idea of what crystals you are looking for. So the first, the first stone I want to talk about is Black Tourmaline.

And this stone is the ultimate energy protector. It's like the body guard of the crystal world and it also helps with clearing negative thoughts and it's also a really good physical healing stone because it provides Pain Relief and treats dyslexia and arthritis. So if you're in the market for a protective stone, maybe you have some toxic energy around you, or you just kind of want to protect your own energy field when you're you know, living in a really crazy world Black Tourmaline is just my go to, I think everybody should have it. It is a wonderful, wonderful stone. But I do want to point out that with Black Tourmaline and any other of the dark like really dark color stones, it's going to take a lot more clearing and cleansing in order for them to be fully cleared and charged because they hold on to energy like nobody's business because that's what they are meant to do.

So, another stone I want to talk about is Rose Quartz and rose quartz. As you can see, it's just such a beautiful pink stone and this is The stone of unconditional love. It purifies and opens the heart at all levels and it's the most important stone for the heart chakra. This is really a stone that is just truly all about self love and giving yourself unconditional love, because you deserve it. And this also helps with releasing unexpressed emotions and heartache and transmutes emotional conditioning. So this is really a big heart opener stone.

It's going to allow you to really open your heart and allow yourself the healing that you deserve. This is also a great stone in trauma and crisis. So another stone is Amethyst and Amethyst, I have to say is probably my favorite, probably due to the fact that it's also my birthstone Amethyst is a mega enhancer. Brings higher states of consciousness to your everyday life as well as your meditation practice. It's also a super protective stone with psychic protection. So this is a really great stone to have if maybe you have a negative Nancy around you that you might, you know not be getting along with at the time.

This is a really great to have in those kind of situations. It also is a really great calming stone and it helps you really stimulate your mind and focus on the task at hand. So this is a great stone to have at your desk at work or you know, wherever you feel you are trying to create something and you might have distractions. So this is also a really great stone for balancing your highs and lows, and it also promotes emotional centering. So as you can see with all The attributes it's a really good balancing stone it just kind of calms everything down especially within your mind. Another stone I want to talk about is Ellen I and as you can see Scylla Knight is a really, really fine vibration.

It is a beautiful stone and it instills deep peace and understanding. This is also a very, very good protective stone because it transmutes negative energy into positive so really, you can go with Stella Knight or you can go with Black Tourmaline either or they're really great stones for protection. This stone is also excellent for spiritual work because it opens your crown and higher crown chakra and allows you to connect to higher states of consciousness. It also assists in judgment and insight. So this is just a really great stone be Because I personally use it a lot because I feel as though it just kind of takes away the negative thinking patterns. Okay so I will use it all the time honestly all the time I use cell A night but this is also a good stone to grid your house with because as you can see in the photo, it kind of is the perfect size to put on window sills are on top of doorframes B and you know you can just create kind of like a crystal grid throughout your home and that will also help with protecting the energy of your home.

So, last but not least, I want to talk about carnelian carnelian is a really really beautiful and beautiful grounding stone. And it really helps anchor you in the present reality. So if you have a lot going on, this is an excellent study. To have because it's going to keep you in the present moment. It also improves analytic abilities and clarifies perception. It's also another powerful protector against rage and anger and envy.

And it helps you connect to the earth energy with carnelian. I always say that when you are really super stressed if you have, you know a project that you're working on, if it's crunch time for something in your life and you are just busy out of control carnelian is such a great stone to have because it really helps you not worry so much about everything on your to do list and it clarifies your perception. So you can see the bigger picture and things it also helps ground you because when we are so much in our minds, it's hard for us to stay focused in the present moment. So again, these are some My favorite stones. So, like I said, I use carnelian, mostly for grounding and when I'm feeling a little stressed, you know, sell a knight is an excellent protecting stone. It's also good with any sort of meditation, you can place it on your third eye and it really kind of opens you up to much more spiritual wisdom.

Amethyst is a really good stone for someone who is very much in their head a lot. If you are someone who thinks a lot if you are someone who analyzes a lot, you're very much in your head, Amethyst is such a great stone to have. If that's something that you're looking for Rose Quartz, I think everyone should have Rose Quartz because again, this is the stone of unconditional love and it helps us to be easy on ourselves and not be so analytical about ourselves and allows us To heal things that maybe we're afraid to heal. And again if you are looking for a protective stone, Black Tourmaline is the stone for you. It is a body guard. But again you do want to be aware of, you know taking extra time and energy to clear these stones because they hold on to energy.

So much
