Many people believe that crystals carry a vibrational energy that can raise the vibration of the person who carries the crystal. Different crystals possess different vibrational energies. Crystals are used for healing, for increased enlightenment, calming or empowerment, among other things.

Amethyst is the crystal I am focusing on this week. The crystal varies from light lavender to a rich dark purple. Amethyst is known for it's spiritual properties. Purple is the color of the crown chakra as well as the "higher power" energy.

It is calming and can reduce stress in and around you. Other qualities include increased harmony, psychic awareness and optimism.

When choosing a crystal, spend some time holding different ones in your hand. Quiet your mind and feel the properties of the crystal. You will know which crystal resonates the best with your own energy.

*As always, new age modalities should be used to complement traditional medical help and not as a substitute if you have a medical condition and are in need of treatment.
