Anyone who owns and reaps the benefits of crystals can attest to how truly beautiful a lot of them are. I’ve always loved rocks and have been collecting them since I was a kid, so once my sister introduced me to the crystal realm, I felt as though I had been born again, seeing such vibrancy and texture in so many different stones.
Please don’t misinterpret my words and think I’m calling myself, or consider myself, a crystal expert. I’m nowhere close to being an expert in anything, let alone fucking crystals; I’m learning, though, so that’s a start.
If you’re new to crystals, it can be a little overwhelming to determine where to start your own collection, so yesterday’s post and today’s are sharing some of the most common crystals with you to help you get started. Again, this information comes from oprahdaily.com.
“Selenite: Feeling perpetually exhausted? It may be time for an aura cleansing (in addition to another cup of coffee and some serious self-care). Selenite is the best crystal for rejuvenating the auric field around us. The crystal supposedly clears out the day’s accrued bad vibes and envelops you in a more peaceful flow of energy. Use selenite like a wand around your body to help draw out all the energetic obstacles that stand in the way of attaining inner serenity. Heads up: selenite dissolves in water, so keep the geode in a dry place.
“Citrine: Citrine, a bright yellow variety of quartz, is said to help those who are feeling stuck. For an instant jolt of confidence, I suggest placing citrine on your belly or solar plexus chakra while resting. The crystal will supposedly loosen up the knotted energy within and restore good vibes.
“Jade: We could all use some more luck in our lives, which is what makes jade so popular: It’s a portable lucky charm. Jade is said to bring abundance and prosperity in the material realm (think dollar signs) and in the social sphere. Wearing jade on your left hand or wrist is said to help bring in blessings from the universe. Alternatively, jade rings are quite elegant, too,” the web page explains.
