Exploring Crystals

I do not know much about the world of crystals and chakras but I am learning

This has been a fun exploration but it has also been guided by hope.

I have dealt with mental and physical health for years but I am now truly trying to help myself, more so then ever in the past. I began to look into crystals a few months ago with a friend.

I will admit it was extremely overwhelming at first because there was so much information. So many crystals all meant to help with a different issue. I picked myself up some Green Aventurine and Howlite on my first visit to our local crystal store. I chose those for simple reasons. Howlite is one of the stones which works on calming while Green Aventurine is for manifesting your dreams. During Quarantine my mental health took a turn (along with my physical) and my dream got pushed back since we are not allowed to travel. SO... I chose these crystals because that was what was really on my mind.

Since my first Journey into the store, I have slowly been finding reading material not only about crystals specifically but chakras as well. These two things go very much hand in hand. Each crystal is really meant for a specific chakra point on your body, this is so your body can truly become one with the energy of the crystal. Beyond this I cannot tell you more information and this is not an 'educational' post. I do not know enough to tell you how to do anything.

I do know though that after going back to my local store and really talking to her about what I truly want to work on and my past traumas. She was able to guide me on crystals that would work for them and help be rebalance myself despite my past. It also amazed me about the fact that there are crystals for seemingly everything. I have now a space set up to be able to see and not only appreciate the beauty of the crystals but to have them in hands reach and be able to feel the energy in my space on the regular.

While my childhood was great there were also highly traumatic events that occurred. I am currently working through the PTSD and grief form these situations and I have brought these crystals into my life to bring balance into my life. While I am new to this and am still exploring I also know that just having them around me does not use them to their full potential. I started meditating a bit ago and am excited to incorporate my new crystals into my routine.

I am still learning and exploring and would love to take you guys on this journey with me as I work on myself and try to find a balance and peace within.
