What is a Crystal?

My father asked me this question recently so I decided it would be my very first post. Crystals are thought to promote the flow of good energy and help rid the body and mind of negative energy for physical and emotional benefits. Historically speaking, crystals are touted as ancient forms of medicine, with philosophies borrowed from Hinduism and Buddhism. There are plenty of books out there of course but it requires hours, days, months, and years of study.

Crystals are mysterious objects, shedding light on the bond our planet shares with the stars, and serving as our link to the universe around us. Crystals have been used for thousands of years in almost every culture and in almost every country. These arcane relics are believed to contain the essence of the stars, allowing them to directly affect the human form. From health to mindfulness, to productivity, and protection – healing crystals have made their own niche in our modern-day society.

Underneath our plane’s rich soil, tucked away in untouched patches of land, water, and vegetation, collected by those who believe in their unparalleled power–crystals are mysterious objects, shedding light on the bond our planet shares with the stars, and serving as our link to the universe around us. I strongly believe there are some of us who are called upon to use these crystals to help heal others and the earth that we live in. Those special people are called empaths
