Today, many are striving to lead a healthy and balanced lifestyle. They changed their approach to living by eating nutritious foods, exercising, and embracing naturopathic and new-age ideals to healing. Energy medicine is no longer a strange word or concept for most of us. There is an abundance of healing modalities that span the globe, all with the intent of helping us healing quantumly, holistically, energetically, and vibrationally. They usually encompass the whole mind, body and spirit collectively so we can bring our body back into balance. And all of these modalities can be enhanced and expanded with healing tools like crystals.

Crystals come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and have different attributes and vibrational characteristics. Their varieties are immense. You can get them in raw form, geodes, and tumbled. They can be found in Merkaba, orb, heart, wand, cube, pyramid, and numerous other shapes. Like many, I’ve been fascinated with crystals and always wanted to expand my knowledge and learn how to use them effectively. I recently added three new crystal titles to my metaphysical library and they are rich in practical wisdom and uses. Whether you are well-versed, deeply interested, or just curious, these books are great resources.
