It is easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed right now with everything that is going on right now from inflation, the possibility of WW3, aliens, post-pandemic stress, or even just things that affect you personally, like bills, family, work, school, etc. I'm sure the list could go on. Stress and depression can affect everything we do, think, or feel. It can also affect our body functions. When we are feeling down or depressed, our vibration is low, and crystals can help us elevate it. Crystals have been used for centuries for their healing abilities, including being able to reduce stress, help with relaxation and sleep, and restore a sense of calm.
