Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. This was a common saying I’m sure you’ve all heard at one time or another. I remember using it on the playground, as a child, to defend myself against the slanderous words of my fellow munchkin folk. Fast forward 20+ years later, I now know that the words we both hear and say on a regular basis can, and do, have a profound effect on our mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. I especially want to focus on the words we say to ourselves because this is all we really have control over.

When regular doses of this love chemical are being distributed throughout the body the effectiveness of our immune system is increased, our ability to adapt and cope with everyday stresses is improved, and our mental and emotional capability is expanded so that we are living
Which is the best healing crystal? This answer would likely be different for just about everyone, but for me, hands down, my number one Crystal is the clear crystal quartz. It’s energy cuts through negativity in a way that my aura can feel most clearly. If I could have no other stone, this is the one I would want to have with me at all times. I conduct many acts of energy work and send out healing vibrations towards people on a regular basis. This energetic transfer could be with my clients, somebody I’m talking to in the grocery store, or even a family member or friend over the phone. Other people’s energies can attach to your aura so it’s best to be careful, as I am cautious and mindful o
