BB:  What are the benefits of having crystals?

Ami:  Holding crystals or placing them near your body promotes emotional, physical and spiritual healing.

Crystals interact with your body’s energy fields (chakras) and can provide well-being and many intangible benefits.

BB:  Where do you keep them?

Ami:

Near your bedside to absorb energy while sleeping

In spaces that are sacred such as an altar

Near plants

On your body

BB:  The reason your recharge them?

Ami:  Over time, crystals can pick up negative or unuseful energy around them and therefore not provide their full benefits.  Every so often, it’s a good idea to recharge the crystals.

BB:  When to recharge them?

Ami:  I like to recharge crystals every so often on New Moon days as these are sacred times to refresh or start something new.

I also like to recharge crystals every season.

BB:  Do different crystals have unique meanings?

Ami:  Each crystal holds a unique energetic benefit and purpose.

In my video, the first crystal held is Amazonite, used to counteract all the negative energy that emits from electronics.  Second is clear quartz, a master healer, that amplifies energy by absorbing, storing, releasing and regulating it for the person using it.  Third is amethyst, a protective, healing and purifying stone that also aids sleep and relieves stress.  Fourth is rose quartz (two of them!) which cultivates love, both self-love and compassion to others, and trust in relationships and can comfort in times of grief and uncertainty.  Last, is carnelian, a crystal that boosts motivation and creativity.

There are so many crystals out there.  These are the ones I chose for me and my family.  We each keep them by our bedsides.
