When I first started opening myself up to crystals or seeing myself attached to them, I was in a very
stagnant time in my life. I was just surviving and really having no time to do what I loved. I was working
5-7 days a week, missing my daughters growing up, trying to end a very toxic relationship, I was just
feeling like this is life. Go to work, rush around, rush my kids around, having no time to take the time to
enjoy my life.

I purchased my first necklace a piece of danburite that was wire wrapped by a younger man. I was
running late to work but had to walk by a craft show I was immediately drawn to his table. I quick
glanced and picked the first one that jumped out at me. I did not know about healing benefits of crystals
at the time I just thought it was gorgeous and loved to wear new jewelry for work as a waitress.
Every night I would wear that for work I would get better tips from customers, and I was feeling happier
interacting with my customers. I could feel the difference. This piece of danburite served as a catalyst
into crystals. Knowing crystals had a direct effect on my mood made me realize how magical our world
really is. How magical we really are as humans. Our earth grows crystals for us to use as tools for healing
and balance.

My life became a shift after that. I have always been artistic and love trying new mediums. I started
practicing wire wrapping on beach glass I would collect then I started on different tumbles I would get
from the crystal store. I loved having new crystals to wear to work and having new conversation starters
with customers. I could not believe how many compliments I would get them I had people starting to
ask me if I sold my jewelry. It took me months and months of practice until I felt comfortable to sell my
art and not be self-conscious about it.

Crystals really opened up everything in my life. Through wire wrapping crystals I was able to build my
own business and quit my waitressing job. I was able to be at home with my children. I was able to pick
them up from school and drop them off every day. These crystals helped me to manifest my life I
wanted at lightning speed! I was in the flow and trusted the process if I am unhappy, I need to change it.
I am in control of my life and once I decided to not live in fear new doors opened up. They helped me to
start researching more spiritual information and learning that I was an empath. This helped fill in so
many blanks in my life and to understand why I have felt the way I have many times.
The crystals really serve as a tool during our healing and transformation as humans. When I’m feeling
anxious instead of sitting in that moment I choose to pick up a piece of fluorite, amethyst or lepidolite. I
can sit with this and help release that feeling because if I am anxious, I am not living in the moment. If
I’m feeling the energy of people I’m close to or start feeling things that I know are not common
characteristics of myself then I choose a protection stone such as tourmaline, onyx, obsidian and hold
that or wear it.

It is important to release anything that no longer serves you. I release any feelings, thoughts, or
projections on to myself which are not my own. If I am feeling ungrounded, then I choose stones that
help with grounding. Stones that help with the root chakra are red jasper, garnet, obsidian, and bloodstone.
Then with one of your grounding crystals releases anything that no longer servers you transmute it into
Mother Earth. Feel the strength of Mother Earth under your feet. Feel how stable and secure she is and
always is.

Crystals are our catalyst and tools to help us in life and I choose to fully believe and receive any magic
that Mother Earth has to offer.

Love,

Katie
