Absent-mindedness has become a huge problem in todays on the ‘go.. go.. go..” world, causing a rise in things like overthinking, stress, anxiety and foggy and unclear minds. We have all been here, dare I say most of us are here a hell of a lot.

Using these crystals for Focus

After reading through your choices and viewing pictures of these earthly jewels (please note that these are not your only choices, they just happen to be the ones that I have found worked best for both myself and Embrace clients over the years), we suggest that you start with one that resonates most with your gut. This could be due to colour or the information about the crystal. There is really no need to look too heavily into the why when it comes to the crystal/crystals you are drawn to, it is simply a matter of trusting the one that “calls you”. Crystals are best utilised on the skin, meaning that you hold it or wear it for the best results. Due to this I often purchase jewellery or a piece that I can comfortably grasp in my hands to sit with when I am taking some much needed ‘me time’. This is not to suggest that having it by your bedside or a piece within your home wont help, it is just more efficient when in direct contact. The other little nugget of wisdom here, is intention.

Be aware of the properties of your crystal, be aware of what you wish to get from your connection with your crystal and set your intention with crystal in hand.
