Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.Quoted by Saint Francis of AssisiCrystals have actually been used since beginning of civilization and are energetically and geometrically formed by the energies of Mother Earth and the Cosmos. Crystals along with other minerals are quite powerful which is why they should be used with the highest consciousness of the person and with the purest intention. They embody Earth’s natural elements, vibrations, cosmic frequencies, sound & colours.
