Vena  Crichlow is an gifted bead artist who incorporates healing crystals in her art. We discovered Vena in the Clubhouse App speaking all-things-crystals and knew we wanted her for the podcast. Rhumel and I are drawn to "pretty rocks ",  but  there is so much more to crystals than aesthetic beauty. They have jobs and we can put them to work! The stone's energy can comingle with our human energy and get us into alignment. Who knew??!!   In this episode, Vena helps us appreciate the wonder and the power of crystals, while pointing out  how and why to integrate them into our lives.  

Questions:

When did you become interested in Crystals?

You said crystals are energy. Can you say more about that?

I seem to hear more about crystals these days. Would you say crystals are more mainstream now?

How do Crystals help with healing?

What are your 5 favorite crystals and why?

Why focus on wearing crystals around the waist?

Guest notes: Vena's 5 Favorite Crystals

Rose Quartz: Heart Chakra, strong vibration of unconditional love, joy, warmth and emotional healing
I am love. I am connected to the vibration of love.

Amethyst: Crown Chakra, helps with sleep, represents calmness, attracts peace
I am worthy of all of the good in my life. I am connected to God. I am  trusting God to guide me.

I am magnificent. I am a miracle.

Citrine: Solar Plexus  Chakra, Attracts prosperity and abundance

Quotes:

Once I reached 50 (and above) all these things just fell into place.

Each crystal carries a certain note similar to wine having an individual note.

You will gravitate to crystals your spirit is called to align with. Your body knows what your desire, just like you gravitate to certain colors.

Waistbeads help women celebrate their bodies. The goal is to help women feel comfortable with skin they are in.

So are you ready to add a new layer to our selfcare routine? Do you naturally gravitate to things that are sparkly? Or do you want to bring in million-year-old earthing grounding tools into your healing environment.

Well, let's look no further and becoming head-over-heels obsessed in the world of crystals. But there is so many? What do each of them mean? Where do I start.

No worries, I've got you covered. In this episode, I go through my top three tips for anyone wanting to dive further into the world of crystal collecting.
