First of all, I’d like to talk about five reasons (backed by science) that meditation can improve your life – regular meditation has been shown to reduce stress, contribute to overall emotional well-being, help control anxiety, improve focus, and enhance self-awareness. I think we could all use a little of that!
If you aren’t already practicing meditation, start today. It’s easy, it’s free, and you’ll start seeing results in just a few short weeks. If you’re looking for guidance, there are lots of amazing books and also a device that gives real-time feedback on your meditation practice (check out Muse online).
Meditation practice is also a great time to work with your crystals. Let’s just say that EVERY crystal is a great crystal to meditate with, so don’t let availability or finances get in your way. I personally love to meditate with Andara crystals, but since they are currently difficult to find, we are going to focus on crystals that you already have in your collection or can find at most crystal stores. Let’s get started
