Connections with Crystals
Sometimes, it can happen that we are simply attracted to the feel of one crystal over the other. You go in thinking that you want to select a pink stone, but by the end of it have walked out with a deep green one. Don’t worry, this is a common occurrence in the world of crystal healing.
It is common knowledge that our body usually knows what it needs before the mind can even comprehend what is happening. Hunger can make a person deeply agitated, but until they have their first bite of food, they are not able to understand the emotion. Sometimes, you just have a ‘gut feeling’ about someone or something that you are unable to put in words. Others may try to logically prove that you are wrong but going with your instinct prevails. Similarly, with crystals, you need to ‘listen’ to your body and see where that guides you.
