Episode 228: Our Favorite Crystals and Why

For episode 228 Anjie and Laura are discussing their favorite crystals and how to place them throughout the home to invite and balance qi. In feng shui, we value crystals for their energetic and healing properties.

From heart healing to inviting in more abundance, crystals are well suited to feng shui applications and we’re thrilled to share some of our favorites with you.

We cover:

Laura and Anjie’s favorite crystals for connecting with intuition

Tips on using crystals in clearing negative qi

Favorite crystals for love and heart healing

Why black tourmaline is a great stone to work with when you want to feel more grounded
