Crystals - Healing energy for the Mind

This week we will be looking at crystals and how they may assist us with balancing our mental and/or emotional states. Things to keep in mind when working with crystals is that it isn’t going to magically cure any ailments or conditions that you have but it may assist or calm them if you are able to tap into their energy and create a bond with that crystal or those crystals.

Just like last time I will be picking a few of the most common crystals that people may be familiar with and then I will be doing my picks.
