Did you know that based on centuries of experience, semi-precious stones are known to affect health, mood, mental energy and feelings?
There is a very strong astrological connection between people and the semi-precious stones they wear. Jewelry made of some precious or semi-precious stone, pearl or precious metal changes their emotions, mood and energy.
The idea of crystal healing was first popularized in the 1930s, when the American trance psychic Edgar Cayce claimed that his visions revealed that crystals were used as a source of energy in Atlantean times.
Remember that crystal healing should be used in conjunction with – and not as a substitute for – conventional medicine. There are many factors that make up your well-being.
Working with healing stones and crystals can help you create harmony, manage stress and improve well-being.
