It is widely believed that different varieties of crystals and minerals harness their own unqiue set of healing and protectivie energies, which are often referred to as metaphysical properties, however, this is a theory that remains a pseudoscience to date.
As the owner of a crystal and mineral boutique, I feel that it's important that I remain transparent when it comes to my own personal beliefs about crystals and minerals.
Although I do think that there is a heap of misinformation being spread around about crystals and minerals, there is one thing that remains unquestionable in my own heart, and that is this...
Just as the natural beauty and essence of the trees and the waters seem to comfort us, clear our minds, relax our bodies, and uplift our moods, among other things in nature, the beauty and essence of crystals and minerals seem to do the same.
Personally, I do feel different things within myself when holding and even just looking at different crystals and minerals, and that certainly does play a big part in how I decide which ones I want to add to my collection, however, I have come to realize that what I tend to pick up from different varieties is vastly different than what is taught in most books and information presented amid a google search.
I think it's more than fair to say that the majority of information available out there about crystals and minerals is based on individualized opinions, a lot of which have been passed down and stretched over time, and in the end, not anymore fit to be considered conclusive than my own own intuition or yours. For this reason among others, I strongly believe that choosing crystals and minerals should be inspired by where someones inner guidance leads them naturally, rather than by what research suggests.
I also think that without digging into the various metaphysical properties assumed to be associated with different varieties of crystals and minerals, people are much more likely to notice their own natural gravitation towards the pieces that are more likely to be meant for them and their own path, as opposed to the crystals and minerals they've been convinced will benefit them in some particular way, such as help them resolve something, improve something, attract something, or shield them from something.
Although I used to view things a lot differently, I have completely stopped thinking of crystals and minerals as protection amulets or healing and manifestation tools. I do, however, very much so continue to appreciate their undeniable natural beauty and comforting essence.
As I dive deeper into my own heart and soul, a lot of what new age spirituality and pop culture suggests just dosen't feel as genuine, fulfilling, or spiritually safe to me anymore and I don't want to hide from my truth about that, nor do I want to do anything to mislead my customers. For all these reasons, The Crystal Woods Cabin does not provide information regarding metaphysical properties of crystals and minerals or offer crystal and mineral reccomendations based on someone's personal circumstances.
In summary, take it or leave it, but my advice when it comes to picking out crystals and minerals is this- consider trying to ignore the influence of opinion and suggestion and more simply, follow your gut instead. If you feel an undeniable pull towards one particular crystal or mineral more so than a bunch of others, listen to that. ♡
P.S. I am well aware that not everyone is going to want to take me up on my suggestion and that those who do not will continue to research various crystal and mineral descriptions before making their selections and that's okay. I understand that we are all walking our own path and have our own beliefs and ways of looking at things and I respect our differences wholeheartedly.
