Discover the Benefits of Crystals for Self-Care
My first introduction to gemstones and crystals was in 1997. I was diagnosed with ME and went on a journey to find a cure. I tried everything from acupuncture, diet, Chinese medicine, massage and meditation. Anyone who said they could help, I was all in.
My journey took me to a crystal healer who asked me at the end of the session to pick two gemstones I felt a strong connection with.
One was a Rock Crystal known as the master healer and one was a small stone with the word COURAGE written on it – these are the two gemstones shown in this email – I still have them and carry them today. They are a physical reminder of how far I have come, a reminder to take good care of myself and to always have COURAGE.
Using your mind and crystals to help you navigate life's ups and downs.
I love using gemstones to help me stay positive and focused on the important things in my life, like my health, my relationships, my work, and my overall happiness.
These beautiful crystals are such great reminders of how powerful our minds can be, and they really help me achieve my goals.
I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur and it took me many years to realise my path, I have tried many things from bags, gloves, jewellery recycled from chandeliers, holiday lets - the list goes on.
Who knew all those years ago the answer was right there in front of me in those two little gemstones that I still carry with me today.
Now I feel comfortable in my world and I know this is my path.
Explore the rich history and beneficial properties of crystals.
Did you know that crystals have been used for centuries by ancient civilisations like the Sumerians and Babylonians?
The Sumerians used crystals in their magic rituals while the Babylonians used them for divination practices such as crystal gazing. They believed that certain crystals could protect them from negative energy and harm.
The Ancient Egyptians also used crystals like Lapis, Turquoise, Emerald, Carnelian, and Clear Quartz for healing, protection, and spiritual guidance.
The Greeks believed that crystals could help them connect with the gods and goddesses and give insight into the future. They would often place crystals in temples or shrines as offerings.
In China, Jade was the most popular crystal, and it was believed to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits. Even today, crystals are still used for healing in traditional Chinese Medicine.
The Romans believed that certain crystals could predict the future or gain insight into the past. They would often consult with crystal gazers who would interpret the patterns formed by the stones to gain insight into what was going on in their lives or what was about to happen in the future.
Native American shamans mainly used crystals in healing ceremonies, believing that crystals could absorb negative energy and transform it into positive energy. They also thought that crystals could help connect with the spiritual realm and give insight into the future.

How to use our crystals.
To begin, it's important to identify your intentions. Try to be specific when setting your goals. If you want to increase your energy levels, imagine how you would feel with that extra boost.
If you want to find more calm, focus on calming thoughts. Crystals can aid you in achieving your desired well-being when used with intention.
For instance, if you want to attract love, Rose Quartz is a good choice. If you're feeling unsure about your path in life, Labradorite can guide you.
Think of your crystal as a reminder of your purpose, both physically and symbolically.
Remember, life is a journey and you have the power to make changes.
