Why are Crystals important❓ 

Everything around us, including our own bodies, are made up of energy. Some objects vibrate at a lower energy frequency and some at a higher level. When the body’s energy 

is vibrating at a low frequency, it means we feel flat, down or unhappy. And when the body is vibrating at a higher frequency, this indicates we’re feeling joy, empowerment and excitement and the higher we feel the more we attract similar frequency like a magnet.

Crystals emit a certain energy, each having their own personalities & the more we come into contact with these, slowly over time our energy matches that of the crystals in subtle ways. Crystals emit positive, uplifting, energizing & calming vibrations that help us achieve a more peaceful mind & a revitalized physical state of being. The ancient Egyptians used crystals for both scrying and for medicine for thousands of years.
