This week’s essential education is all about Crystals.

Crystals have an unique energy and vibration that we can use to support our health and wellness.   

We can hold them in our hands, keep them close in our pocket, bag, on our pillow, on our desk, chair, near our computer or wear them in jewellery to help balance our energy and our physical and mental health and well being.
