If you're a beginner ready to buy crystals, you're in the right spot because I'm going to share with you the best crystals for beginners so that you can save money on buying crystals you can use right away.
It can be overwhelming when you start shopping for crystals. For example, when I started shopping for crystals, I still needed to learn what I needed and just started buying crystals without a purpose.
When picking crystals to work with, you need to have an idea in mind of what you're seeking to accomplish with the help of the crystal.
Are you seeking to calm your anxiety or get focused when it comes to taking on a project? Figuring that out first is a good idea for streamlining purchases.

I've also suggested creating this energetic boundary for clients that live in a place with a shared wall with a neighbor to block out their energy from coming in and messing with your sacred space.
