    My Experience With Healing Crystals

    Healing crystals have been life-changing.

    I collected 4 healing crystals during a road trip to Utah and since that trip, I have spent a lot of time connecting with my crystals. I handpicked my particular crystals because I knew I needed to embrace a sense of wellness, health, and self-improvement. The owner of the crystal shop explained to me that I should hold onto the crystals until I felt like I had a personal connection with each one. The crystals I chose felt warm and comfortable in my hands and ultimately, I decided on the ones that were right for me. I collected 2 more in Las Vegas a few months later.

    These are the crystals I chose:

    Lapis Lazuli - This crystal boosts the immune system, purifies blood, cools & soothes areas of inflammation, and lowers blood pressure. It is the dark blue, smooth crystal I have. It is all about promoting physical health and wellness.

    Sodalite - This crystal helps to heal phobias and anxiety. It is a light shade of blue. I have phobias when it comes to medical scenarios, needles, and anything doctor-related. This is a crystal I like to keep tucked in my bra when I need to go to a doctor appointment.

    Amazonstone- This crystal is meant to heal traumas, promote patience, and help improve honesty. It is a light teal shade. I have trauma from past relationships, difficulty with being patient, and sometimes it is tough for me to brutally bare all in honest conversations. I chose this crystal because I want my trauma to heal, I want to be a more patient person, and I want to always tell the truth-- even when it isn't easy.

    Rose quartz - This crystal is for attracting true love and friendship. It is a light pink color. Rose quartz is easily one of the most popular crystals for people to collect because everyone wants to find their soulmate and everyone wants to be surrounded by the right friendships. Healthy relationships are so important. Collecting this particular crystal was definitely a priority for me.

    Citrine - Attracts wealth and abundance. It is white and clear yellow, jagged.

    Aragonite - Blocks anger. Looks super jagged but came in a super beautiful purple/maroon/clear color.

    As of now, these are the only crystals I have collected... but I am very excited to collect more. Crystals need skin-to-skin contact in order to be most effective... they can't just lay around nearby. They should be touching your skin as often as possible. That being said, I usually try to fall asleep while clutching my crystals in my hand or with them tucked into my bra so they are close to my heart.
