Using Crystals In Your Metaphysical Practice
Crystal energy work has a long history as a popular, powerful metaphysical practice. It’s an ancient tradition that involves the use of crystals and semiprecious gemstones to promote healing, improve emotional and mental well-being, and manifest desires.
The documented history of crystal work dates as far back as the ancient Sumerians who used crystals in their magical practices, circa 4500 to 2000 BC. Traditionally the most commonly used crystals are quartz, agate, amethyst, or opal.
The practice relies on the unique energetic properties of various crystals that can influence energy fields and the human aura and chakras. Each crystal has a unique energy frequency that is exceptionally stable and reliable, compared to the unstable, variable energies of humans.
Crystals emit their stable energy vibration while also absorbing, neutralizing or transforming external energies. Crystals are therefore used in metaphysical practices and energy work because they create changes in energetic frequencies.
Crystals can be used in your daily spiritual practices as follows.
Healing
Crystals enhance physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Different types of crystals have unique healing properties that can be used to address different ailments and energy imbalances. For instance, amethyst is often used to alleviate stress and anxiety, while rose quartz promotes love and emotional healing.

Increase Your Power And Influence With Charisma
Charisma is a skill that can have a profound impact on our personal and professional lives. It is often wrongly assumed that charisma is a personality trait or talent that some people are born with. The truth is charisma is a learned behavior and skill that can be developed by anyone.
Charisma is the magnetic ability to attract, charm, and persuade others with our words and actions. The term originates from the Greek khárisma, which means ‘favor freely given,’ or ‘gift of grace,’ because the ancients believed that possessing this quality was a divine gift bestowed only upon those who were favored by the gods.
It is generally associated with people who are confident, engaging, and influential. By cultivating charisma, we become more effective at reaching and connecting with others, which can be invaluable in life.
Whether we are seeking to build stronger, healthier personal relationships, foster better professional connections, or make more friends, having a strong presence and the ability to engage with others is a key factor for success. Charisma is not about being arrogant, manipulative, or insincere. Rather it is about being authentic and genuine, while also being able to express ourselves in a way that resonates with others.
Charismatic people are skilled communicators who are able to listen actively, empathize with others, and express themselves clearly and persuasively. They are also able to project confidence, enthusiasm, and positivity, which can be infectious and uplifting to those around them.

The Healing Energies Of Plant Spirits
Here in Latin America there is a rich tradition of herbalism and ceremonial, shamanic spiritual medicine. There has also been in recent times a global revival of plant medicine and natural healing practices, as well as a renewed interest in related indigenous wisdom traditions found in many cultures all over the world.
As a result of modern science, we have largely abandoned and forgotten the fountain of knowledge the aborigines had regarding healing and natural harmony. It took us several centuries to realize what we have lost and overlooked in the process.
Herbalism is however not only about natural medicine potentially having fewer side effects than modern pharmaceuticals. It is also about the innate energetic qualities we share with a particular plant. This approach to healin stems from a worldview that fully integrates man and nature.
In local tradition, near the Andes, the timing is just as important as the type of plant used for healing purposes. Depending on the season, or the phase of moon, for instance, the plant’s properties will vary, and its effectiveness less than optimal if used at the inappropriate time.
Both the healer and their patient’s attitude towards the plant itself is also an important factor in the healing process, as the respect and gratitude shown to the plant will determine its healing ability.
In shamanic herbalist practices it vital to understand that all entities are considered to have elemental energy, including plants and humans. This is the metaphysical premise of all plant medicine and magic. In fact, for the traditional herbalist all plants have spirits. And each one has specific faculties and properties at different levels or frequencies that can heal us in mind, body and soul.
