28. Unusual But Amazing Crystals You Probably Don't Know About But Should, Meditation for People Who Hate It and Practical Tips for Using Essential Oils for Balance and Healing with Andrea Sanchez

In this episode I had the pleasure of talking with Andrea Sanchez. Andrea is a Certified Essential Oil Specialist, a Certified Crystal Healer, an AromaTouch Practitioner and is Symphony of the Cells Certified. She is also the author of the Chakra Essentials booklet . We get into so much great and practical stuff including: 1. Ideas and ways to "meditate" if you hate meditating and can't sit still! 2. The difference between crystals, minerals, gemstones and rocks! 3. The importance of cleaning your crystals and how to do it: Under  running water, setting the intention to "clear" your crystal of any  energy it has held onto that is not for your highest good. You can also smudge them with palo santo or dried sage or set them on your windowsill/backyard under the full moon. 4. A few lesser known crystals that are awesome: -*Shungite- One of Andrea's favorite crystals(or minerals :)) to use for EMF/5G protection, detox, energetic protection and more. Link to a book a recommend to learn more about this stone; https://www.amazon.com/Shungite-Protection-Detoxification-Regina-Martino/dp/1620552604 - *Smoky Quartz- Another great grounding & protective crystal, and it's easily found at one's local crystal shop or online. - *Lemurian  Seed Quartz- With striations, or ladder-like markings, these crystals  look like a clear quartz but have a high-vibration! Most have a feminine  energy and help clear our chakras and connect us with universal,  unconditional love. 5. Crystals for tapping into the Divine Feminine and working with the Moon and the 2nd Chakra 6. Andrea's personal habits for staying tapped in ....and more!
