Crystals for ̶d̶u̶m̶m̶i̶e̶s̶ Beginners
Hello my beautiful friends! I am so excited to share with you the most recent journey I have begun- Crystal Healing!
I want to keep this as simple as possible and share the basics that I have learned so far- in a way that I wish I could have learned from. I was so excited to dive into crystals, but I was being thrown so much information at once and didn't know where to start. If you are interested in learning about crystals and crystal healing here are the basics, simplified.

How Crystal Healing is Supposed to Work
Many sites talk about how modern crystal healing is based on traditional concepts borrowed from Asian cultures, most notably the Chinese concept of life-energy (chi or qi) and the Hindu or Buddhist concept of chakras, which are said to connect the physical and supernatural elements of the body.
Today clear quartz alone makes up 12% of the
Earth's crust and it is used in almost every kind of technology, including electronics and time keeping! How can you say that it's possible for crystals to communicate through computer chips, but not transform in other ways with our mind and bodies?

Choosing Your Crystals
Finding the perfect crystals for yourself requires patience while you clear your mind and allow yourself to realign your mind/body balance. It is often believed that the crystal will find and call out to you, rather than the other way around. You should hold whichever ones you are drawn to in your hands, and pay attention to any sensations you may feel- hot, cold, pulsation, or tranquility.
Don't be discouraged if you don't feel anything at first- everyone responds to crystals differently and sometimes you will need to cleanse or clear the crystal or become more clear of your own intentions.
Whether you’re seeking out gemstones for their beauty or just to bring peace and tranquility into your life, they all work to increase your vibrational frequency.

4 Crystals to Begin With
Clear Quartz- Probably the most popular crystal for beginners and one that probably everyone you know has laying around somewhere for its pretty semblance.
-Clear Quartz is known as the master healer, it amplifies energy and thought, as well as the energy of other crystals- bringing clarity to your communication and amplifying your thoughts for clearer thinking.
-It absorbs, stores and releases energy.
-Creates powerful resonance with your third eye and crown chakras.

Shungite- The crystal I am most excited about to begin using! Erica from FashionLush got me going with this one in her blog post about it here! Check it out for more depth about this crystal!
-Shungite is said to be at least 2 billion years old. Billion!!! It is one of the only known natural materials to contain "fullerenes" which are powerful anti-oxidants!
-People use this stone to CLEANSE their water?!
-Most importantly to me and everyone else in this technology infused generation- it can literally shield you from the electromagnetic radiation given off by electrical equipment, including computers, mobile phones, microwaves and tv! People will put these stones on their wifi routers, you can even get stickers for your phone case! (But again, I recommend buying your crystals in person).
-It creates powerful resonance with your root chakra.

Citrine- a premier stone of manifestation, imagination, and personal will.
-Carries the power of the sun, warming and comforting
-Every day its daily infusions with the natural sunlight restores and regenerates its powerful vibrations.
-Important for beginners because it helps make your intentions into reality
-Assists in acquiring and obtaining wealth
-It creates powerful resonance with your root, sacral and solar plexus chakras

Rose Quartz- Scientists still argue about why is it pink... But it's the stone of love and the mother of all crystals
-Its energy is very calming and gentle
-Inspires the love of beauty in oneself and in others
-Good stone to place on the stomach during pregnancy, and to take to the hospital to be near the baby during birth
-It creates powerful resonance with the heart chakra
