What are crystals?

“Crystals are gifts from the earth that all have different energy properties, which are useful for different things from improving your energy and mood to overcoming grief,” maintains Stacey. “They help shift energy in or out of your body or both ways, depending on what you need.”

Which crystal do I choose?

“Different crystals are helpful for different things.ings. Darker colours aree good for dealing with heavyeavy emotions like grief, whileile blue is associated with the throat so people often wear them around their neck if they have a niggly cough or if they want to speak up more. I find when people come to me for a crystal healing they are always drawn to crystals that are associated with the issue we are dealing with.”

What do you do with it?

“Some people wear them around their neck, some carry them in their pocket, rub them on their body or keep them under their pillowcase,” explains Stacey. “The more connected you feel to your crystals, thee mo more they will help youu with you your intentionn for yourself whethe whether it is health, love, joy, abundanceabun or peace. Your crystal w will speak to you by sending messages to your brain. Don’t worry if you lose, drop or feel compelled to give your crystal to someone else. This just means its job is done.”
