Crystals and Gemstones: 6 You Need in Your Collection To Protect Yourself Spiritually

From time immemorial crystals and gemstones have been used - for healing, abundance, enhancing intuition, protection, relaxation, and meditation. Crystals have long since been believed to have metaphysical properties and to enhance psychic abilities.

Crystals and gemstones are considered by numerous individuals to be one of the building blocks of life, as they are produced using two of the most well-known components on Earth, silicon and oxygen. We are moving from carbon-based beings to crystalline-based beings because our “junk DNA” is activating. Crystals play a very integral role in this transformational ascension, an evolutionary leap. Our cells must be transformed from carbon to a silicon crystal so that we can withstand the tremendous amount of “light,” and light is energy.

We have stepped into a new eon and have been feeling it energetically. Crystals, now more than ever are acting as a built-in generator for telepathy and listening to our inner voice. This is achieved by, making our bodies become the quintessential prism for light to pass through.
