My husband and I have a large assortment of Crystals and healing stones. Like Amethyst for example of a stone. We use our stones for our new baby chicks who are weak after they come out of their shell. Putting a healing stone in with them we have a survival rate of 100% with weak chicks. Also, when either one of our boys gets a bump or scrape the first thing they ask for is a healing crystal and they meditate on a healing color washing over the area. That practice along with a kiss from mom, instills a healing mind/body belief system with them from a young age. They are 4 and 6 years old now. We also practice use with them in meditation and prayer for our boys to see. They usually want to join in...lol. I We each have one on a necklace to wear each day.
We are strong believers in the healing properties of stones in concert with the mind/body energy to heal oneself through meditation and prayer.
