Crystals - My Full Time Hobby!



A Small Bit About Me

Hi there, my name is Chris and in case you hadn’t noticed, I’m really into crystals and gemstones - so much so that I‘ve built up a selection of favourites! Or at least I’m extremely interested in their healing and therapeutic properties and favour some over others but that‘s harder to say :) .
This is my first blog, as I’m sure is all too obvious, so hopefully you’ll forgive me if I commit a serious blogging faux pas! It’s not my fault, I’m a newbie.

How On Earth Can You Have Favourite Crystals??

Good question - there's so many to choose from and it's true that it does depend on your circumstances. It’s a little more complex than a simple top 10 list as you will discover, but for certain situations and conditions I have built up a collection of crystals I will always turn to for help.

But for the purposes of helping you to understand how to use them, I will mostly be focusing on a particular crystal with every post and will talk you through what they can be used for.

So, why have I decided to start writing about these crystals for all the world to see?

Not sure I have the answer to that! But I have, over the past 7 years, built up a wide range of knowledge and experience using crystals as a hobby (I’m not a professional) and have been able to advise and help my friends with various problems and situations. More importantly though, because I use them on myself. I like the fact that I am able to say that I have felt many of the benefits first hand.

Now of course, it’s important to say here that crystals are not miracle workers. They cannot cure ailments or wipe away all of your life’s problems (unfortunately). But if you’re looking to make life that little bit calmer, stiller and generally more harmonised then I believe that crystals can help. It is from that point - when you see your life slowing down, becoming more relaxed and your perspective changing - that you will see the real difference that crystals can make.

And that is what I’d like to write about! I’ll do my best to up-date on a weekly basis and will tell you about my various projects with crystals, my favourite crystals and their properties, and some stories from my past work with crystals to show you how they have made a difference. And consequently, how they can for you too.

So this is where you come in to it! Although of course I don’t mind a bit if you want to just sit back with a cup of tea and read, but if there is anything you would like to know or ask then don’t be shy - leave me a comment. I can’t promise that it’ll be something that I’ve come across before, but I will certainly do my best to help.

Well, thanks for reading my introduction! I hope you get a good idea of what I would like to do and have taken an interest in up-coming blogs.

Take care and see you next week :)
Chris
