Let me explain. I have since discovered through evaluation that crystals are doing three things at all times, even when we don't put any additional intention into them. They are in a constant state of vibration because science has proven all molecules vibrate. That vibration isn't going to change based on my feelings about crystals. Because of this vibration three things are continually occurring:
1. Attraction- The vibration is helping us attract positive things.
2. Release- The vibration is helping us release low vibration within us.
3. Cultivate- The vibration is assisting you to grow qualities that you already posses.
The crystal's first priority is to lift low vibrations and this isn't always comfortable. It could even lead us to feel like crystals don't work because irritation and challenges may present themselves as we start to let go of these stored low vibrations. After all we are told good things will start to happen by using crystals. We could also ignore this process and give credit to coincidence or have it go unnoticed completely. Each crystal reacts differently for each person based on life experiences. Let's take Rose Quartz for example. Rose Quartz is said to increase infinite love and release fears and resentments. One person using Rose Quartz may immediately feel the attraction and cultivation from the crystal because they don't have low vibrations disrupting attracting those vibrations. On the other hand, someone with a difficulty in their past lowering their vibration to receiving love may find the stone uncomfortable to wear as it begins to help them release resentments blocking them to letting love in. So, does this mean that Rose Quartz doesn't work for them? On the contrary, if anything is is working harder for them than the first example.
Understanding how our interaction with crystals works will lead to amazing self-discoveries and growth. if we allow ourselves to look at the uncomfortable and release it. I have a new book Pebble Puzzle that explains more about using stones as a self-discovery tool. It is all about decoding your crystal messages plus it has journal pages to help you keep track of your discoveries.
One thing I love most about using the Pebble Puzzle Questions Guide is that sometimes it does feel like magic.

1. Trust yourself
When you find yourself second guessing your decisions or needing the approval from others, it may be time to build turst in yourself. Trusting yourself lets you know that you have your own back. That despite what is going on around you, you know you can rely on yourself. If you don't trust yourself you can accidentally give away your power and let others make the decisions for you. Your higher self wants you to believe in yourself. Connect to knowing you have what it takes to make decisions, move forward, and trust your intuition. It is all too easy to stop listening and trusting your initial inner knowing.

2. Embracing Weakness
Unrealistic expectations from ourselves takes a toll on your wellbeing. Embracing your weaknesses is the first step.

Leaving no room for weakness by placing expectations on ourselves of needing everything perfect takes away from your self-love. It leads to a internal battle of shame and self criticism that leaves you empty. Perfection in everything is unattainable and leads to disappoint in yourself and feeling like you are not enough. There is a healthy balance to be found when it comes to expectations. Practice finding the right balance for you.

3. Balancing Control
Control is fear disguised as safety. Without realizing it the need to be in control is actually controlling you and keeping you from enjoying living in the moment. On the other hand not having self-control can lead you to regrets and negative self-talk. Balancing when to be in control and when to let go of control sends the message of self-love that you deserve to be happy. When the need to be in control becomes to much or too little it can halt your growth.
Red Spotted Jasper Chakra Stone helps you see and focus on what is in your control so you can decide to bravery make changes.
Infinite Serpentine Chakra Stone eases the need to be in control and connects you to living an abundant life.
Petrified Wood Chakra Stone has the energy of well-being and security, helping ease fears. It helps you see what is really important to you and shrug off the things you can’t control.
