Crystals for Beginners
Crystals are powerful little stones that can help heal you cope with anxiety, ease stress, attract love and money and even heal you from physical ailments like migraines and digestion.
How do crystals work?
Everything is energy. Even you. When your energy vibes with the energy from a crystal shifts start to happen. When holding a crystal you may feel it pulsating in your hand, heat up or give you a boost of energy or calm.
