A crystal is a solid comprised of atoms, molecules, and ions packed in a regularly ordered, repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions.  The word crystal originates from the Greek word "Krystallos" meaning clear ice.  

   Every living thing has a vibration energy system and by using crystals we can rebalance energies, tune into them and improve our well being.  The earliest use of crystals dates back to ancient Egypt .  Considered to be pseudoscientific, some scientists and skeptics believe that the placebo effect is a plausible explanation for any healing or energy attunement that occurs when using crystals.  

   Although Sarah believes that crystals can assist us, she does not recommend only using crystals to heal.  Our belief systems and understanding of spirituality and our ability to self heal is growing, but until we have evolved in our understanding of energy and its proper uses, it can be dangerous to rely solely upon this type of self-help.

   Crystals induce calm, help with sleep, improve sex life and aid in personal transformations.  They purify water and are reputed as having special healing powers.  It has been scientifically proven that crystals have energy that flows from within them outwardly, beginning at room temperature.  Crystals assist as an amplifier to your own personal energy.
