How Crystal Healing Works
Every crystal has a unique crystalline structure that vibrates at a specific frequency. When placed near or on the body, crystals interact with the body's electromagnetic field, gently restoring balance to the energy centres known as chakras.

How to Cleanse and Program Your Crystals
