Crystals are not just beautiful to look at, each is equipped with unique properties and energy. Learn which crystals can help provide protection for you and the spaces you inhabit.
Your first interaction of the day with a person, be it via phone, internet, email, or text, causes an exchange of energy. It does not matter whether or not the exchange was positive or negative. You have a need to feel safe and protected. Ensuring the space in your home, office, and automobile maintain a feeling of safety is vital to your sanity. Protecting yourself, outside of these environments, when you are freely walking around while out in public is even more important.
The use of crystals can be very helpful in decreasing the sense of anxiety and stress in today's world.
