How to use crystals
for health and well-being
Since ancient times crystals have been used for their mystical healing
properties. It is a non-invasive form of alternative therapy which
harmonizes the body, mind and spirit.
Choosing a crystal that’s right for you is a deeply personal process. The most effective way is to head to your local new age or
crystal store and experiment. Pick one up, close your eyes, and try and feel the energy vibrating from the stone. The one that
is perfect for you should feel intrinsically right. You may also want to choose a stone that has a specific purpose, for example:
