20 Crystals For Happiness

If you’re anything like me, you’ve had days or moments when happiness and joy are as elusive as a jackalope.

These feelings aren’t enjoyable, and many of us turn to unhealthy crutches to cope (as a few empty wine bottles in my trash bin can attest to).

We all want to be happy, don’t we? I’d go as far as to say it is our number one desire.

Nearly everything we do is for this aim, even when we’re unselfishly doing for others – positive energy is contagious, after all!

It can be argued there is no such thing as pure altruism, as even charity and self-sacrifice usually give us “all the feels.”

But what exactly is happiness, and how do we attain it?

Surely, what brings you joy is going to be different from what brings me joy, but to me, true happiness encompasses something universally defining through a conscious effort to obtain and maintain optimism, joy, and peace of mind regardless of our outer circumstances.

With so much negativity and overwhelming demands fired at us daily, it certainly isn’t an easy task, but with effective tools, anything is possible, including increased happiness.

I don’t have all the answers, but I have a few, one of them being the power of crystals.

Crystals are minerals of the Earth that absorb energy, converting it into an electronic frequency, which is unique to each crystal.

It’s believed this energy interacts with our body’s natural frequencies to provide healing, clarity, and other benefits.

Crystals are more than minerals, as each is comprised of a complete, extremely coordinated molecular structure. All the ions in a crystal are arranged in an intentional pattern akin to a grid.

When the temperature of crystals is changed and they are put under significant pressure, they create electricity through a process called Piezoelectric Effect.
