My Top 10 Favorite Crystals For Healing

I have been on a spiritual journey for about six or seven years, learning new aspects of myself. A few months into my journey, my youngest son turned me on to crystals. When I first started to purchase them, I was buying because I was fascinated, but eventually, I started to educate myself on their abilities in helping me on my journey to healing. Healing from past traumas caused during childhood, up to today.

Below, I made a list of my top ten crystals, my day-one's, that I work with to help in my healing from childhood traumas, as well as traumas caused just from day to day living. I also use these crystals, along with some others, to assist in aligning and balancing my chakras. I try to best to be intentional when carrying them, daily. I intentionally exude the energy that I desire to receive from others. If I'm in a mood, the energy of certain crystals will transmute any unwanted energy.

The crystal keep me grounded. There are times that I may not be in the best of moods to deal with people, but life happens and I may not have a choice, such as being around co-workers. The crystals transmute any negative energy that may come my way. I do not depend on them to do all of the work. I make a conscious effort to move in the same energy in which I expect to receive.
