There are times in all our lives when we need protection. This may be a time you feel stuck in a toxic relationship, or it may be when you feel paralysed and anxious from the 24 hour news cycle’s endless stream of gloom and doom. Perhaps you may just feel like you are being clouded by negative energy. Regardless, there can be factors both, internal & external, that we may need protection from. If you are dealing with self-negativity, self-sabotage, toxic relationships, or negativity from others, protections using crystals may help.
Crystals can not only be used to protect you from outside sources and negative energies, they may also be able to help you harness the strength to protect yourself and the clarity to know when to walk away.
You can harness these crystals energies by holding them in your hand during meditation or by wearing them on your person throughout the day. Regardless, I hope you find this information helpful and can use the power of crystals to find peace, love and balance in your life.
