Did you know that behind the beauty of crystals there are also healing properties? Crystals and gemstones produce a constant vibration and electromagnetic field which may help in healing various ailments and conditions. Once you have acquired a crystal it should be cleansed immediately in order to release negative existing energies. You can cleanse your crystals by soaking them in sea salt for 24 hours and placing them outside in the moonlight. To help you benefit from the crystal healing properties, you can place them by your bedside, under your pillow, wear them as jewelry, or carry them in a small mojo bag. You can choose a crystal by your astrological sign or specific ailment. I also urge you to pay close attention to crystals that call out to you as this subtle energy may be something you need.
