I have been using crystals and oils regularly for about 3 years now. I have too many oils to count and my “special rock” collection is ever-growing. I use my intuitions at the beginning of each day to see which stones and oils are calling out to me at that particular moment. I have found that using this practice to choose which ones I use that day is a spiritual practice in itself.

I believe that mindfulness grew in popularity when it did because of the direction our society has been moving. We are multi-taskers, we rarely slow down or have free time, we are stuck in our heads worrying about what comes next or what we did yesterday. As a society, we have a very difficult time being fully present in the current moment we are living in.
