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.

Journaling has become one of my go-to practices when I am feeling overwhelmed, upset, or just plain old low. It’s like having my own therapist right on my bookshelf. I go grab one of my many journals, find a comfortable place to curl up, and put pen to paper.

Have you ever been hurt by someone in your life? Have you ever hurt yourself in some way? Has someone ever directly or indirectly told you that you aren’t worthy of love? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then chances are you have some pretty big emotional walls up right now.
