Moss Agate is a new stone for me. I've never worked with it or even heard of it. I'm reading "The Art of Bliss" by Tess Whitehurst and this is the crystal to use for "Resilience." Here is the card I got when I bought the crystal: Honestly, crystals that do 500 things are overwhelming to me. I like to just pick one thing and focus on it, so I'm going to focus on "grounding." That's still pretty vague, but I feel like I could use some grounding. Couldn't we all? *This post contains ...

Jade: The Money Magnet Crystal to Draw Abundance and Prosperity
Jade is a relatively common crystal. I'm currently in the "Prosperity" chapter of The Art of Bliss by Tess Whitehurst, and she recommended Jade for this part of the book. I've had both green and yellow Jades for a while now, but I've never intensely worked with either of them. This week I will be focusing on green Jade, and I'll do yellow separately at another point. There are other colors of Jades which I do not have, but I'll probably work with them at some point because why the hell not. ...
Sunstone: How to Take Action, Be a Leader and Shine Like the Sun
Sunstone is a brand new crystal for me. I had never even heard of it, until I read about it in Tess Whitehurst's book 'The Art of Bliss.' The book takes you through each Feng Shui area in your living space and gives ideas to improve the energy. Sunstones are recommended for the Radiance part of the house, which is where "Helpful People" would be in the regular Feng Shui Bagua. Whitehurst says this about Sunstones: Sunstone also appears to emanate its own light, and it has a bright and ...
Rose Quartz: Attract Pure Love From All Directions
Rose Quartz is one of the most popular crystals, even among people who aren't crystal enthusiasts. This is said to be the "love stone," related to all things love. Feng shui experts recommend placing Rose Quartz in the love area of your home or by your bed to attract romance. However, it is said to bring in love of all kinds: Self-love, familial love, platonic love and, most importantly, self-love. I have zero self-love. None. I am a flaming human garbage can and I contribute nothing to ...
Lapis Lazuli: Open Your Life Path and Find Creativity
Lapis Lazuli has been in my life longer than any other crystal. My step-grandmother was really into it and had it on her writing desk, which I would climb onto as a child and pretend to be a writer myself. Lapis Lazuli is a beautiful deep blue with streaks of white, black and gold. This is because it's actually a combination of many other crystals, including Lazurite, Sodalite, Calcite and Pyrite. While this could lead us to assume that Lapis Lazuli contains all attributes of these, ...
Angelite: The Soul-Calming Path Opener
Angelite is a stone I've wanted to work with for a while now, so I'm excited to jump in! I discovered this stone with a friend at a local crystal store. A store employee approached us with several various crystals in her hand. She asked us to each pick one and she would tell us something about us. I was immediately drawn to the Angelite, probably because it looked just like a piece of candy in her hand: To be perfectly honest, I do not remember a single thing she said it meant about me. I ...
