A natural tool for finding harmony and balance in every day life is the use of crystal harmonizers. They are cylindrical crystals, often used in pairs, held in each hand to balance the body's energy field. They can also be made from contrasting material such as Shungite and Soapstone to represent and stimulate dual aspects of energy (e.g.-masculine and feminine).
Balancing Energy They can be used to align our chakras. By holding one harmonizer in each hand, the energetic flow between your left (receiving) and right (giving) sides is activated, helping to restore internal balance. Traditionally, the left hand connects to our feminine energy and the right hand connects to our masculine energy.
Meditation Support Using harmonizers during meditation can deepen your practice and focus. Choosing a crystal harmonizer such as Amethyst or Clear Quartz can clear your mind and elevate your spiritual awareness.
Emotional Release Harmonizers can assist in releasing emotional blockages and cords. When the frequency of the crystal interacts with our energy fields, we begin to feel experience feelings of calm and peace. Selenite harmonizers are the perfect tool for clearing energy and bringing in light.
Connection with Higher Self Crystals can raise your vibration and amplify your intentions. Working with them regularly can strengthen your connection to your higher self, increase your intuitive abilities, and support your journey of self-discovery. They can also be utilized as support when trying to connect with your ancestral lineage-left hand/side, your maternal ancestors and the right hand/side, your paternal ancestors.
Morning Routine Begin your day grounded and intentional. Spend a few moments in quiet, holding one harmonizer in each hand, close your eyes, and breathe deeply for 5-10 minutes. Set your intentions for the day.
Meditation Harmonizers can be used to enhance your existing meditation practice. Focus on your breath while holding the crystals to deepen your sense of calm and clarity.
Chakra Alignment While lying down, place the harmonizers on the chakra points you are working on. Visualize energy flowing between the harmonizers and through your body, clearing blockages, and restoring alignment.
Bedtime Routine Include crystal harmonizers in your bedtime routine. They can release the energy of the day, quiet the mind, and help you transition to a restful, restorative state.
Energy Healing Sessions Practitioners can use harmonizers with their clients for additional support of chakra balancing and directing energy flow. Harmonizers can also be used during sound baths-holding one in each hand can ground your energy and realign you with your natural rhythms.
Crystal harmonizers remind us to pause, breathe, and return to our natural state of balance within our body, mind, and spirit. Trust your intention, explore with an open heart, and allow the harmonizers to support you on your spiritual journey!

Each shape of crystals is believed to carry a unique vibrational frequency that can influence the way we experience its energy. Holding crystals in your hands such as palm stones and worry stones, stand out as powerful tools for personal connection, grounding, and emotional support.
Palm stones are smooth, polished crystals that fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. They are designed to be held during meditation, placed on the body for energy work, or simply carried throughout the day. They are often used for deep energetic connection and when used in meditation they can act as a focal point for your energy or intentions, deepening your spiritual practice. Palm stones can also be placed directly on specific chakras that you're working on. For example, if you're trying to open your Heart Chakra, place a Rose Quartz palm stone on your chest, take deep breaths, and visualize the energy of the crystal opening and aligning your heart space.
Worry stones have a smooth feel and can be used to reduce stress and anxiety, soothe your heart space, and clear your mind. They are smaller, flatter crystals with a carved indentation for the thumb. Hold the stone between your index finger and thumb and gently rub your thumb back and forth across the smooth indentation when you're feeling worried, stressed, or in need of concentration. These are perfect size for children, as well, and be easily carried in their pockets or in their backpacks.
Though compact in size, palm stones and worry stones carry a powerful energetic impact. They are tangible tools to help you stay connected to your intentions, calm your mind, and anchor your energy—whether you’re navigating a busy day, sitting in meditation, or simply taking a mindful pause.
Carry them with you daily as physical reminders of your strength, your healing, and your goals. Sometimes, the smallest stones can offer the biggest support.

There’s something deeply special about connecting with the Earth—especially when you're surrounded by the crystal energy and the quiet wisdom of Mother Nature. Our recent adventure to the historic Herkimer County area in New York was nothing short of magical, as we set out to mine for the beautiful and powerful Herkimer Diamonds.
We began our trip the way we always do: by setting intentions with a crystal grid. Grounding ourselves in clarity and purpose allowed us to align with the energy of the land and stay present and protected throughout our journey.
At each mine we visited, we paused to honor the Earth, offering gratitude to Mother Earth through crystal and herb offerings, Reiki energy, and heartfelt intention. These meaningful rituals helped us stay connected—not just to the crystals we hoped to find, but to the spirit of the land and to ourselves.
Our favorite location was Diamond Mountain Mining, where we returned three times! This incredible site offers nearly 180 acres of land to explore, with active excavations happening regularly. The care and reverence they show for the land is felt the moment you step foot on the property. Their stewardship is truly inspiring, and we were so grateful to spend time in a space filled with such intention and respect for the Earth.
Mining Herkimers isn’t easy—it’s a labor of love. These crystals formed in dolly limestone vugs—natural pockets within the rock. To find these naturally double-terminated beauties, you must break into the rock wall and search for dirt and sand-filled cavities, sometimes chiseling and hammering for hours—power tools aren’t allowed in the mines. One of the best signs that you’re close to a pocket is spotting black anthroxolite—a clue that you're on the right path to finding a crystal! Also, antlers made incredible digging and shifting tools!
As tough as the work was, it was absolutely worth it. There's nothing like the moment you reach into a pocket and feel the smooth face of a Herkimer, pulling it from the Earth for the first time after 500 million years. We unearthed the tiniest little babies all the way up to palm-sized showpieces—each one uniquely beautiful and energetically special.
The landscape itself was stunning, with rolling hills that reminded us of home in Wisconsin, yet with its own distinct energy and charm. From tuning into the energy of the Herkimer Diamonds, to offering Reiki to the land, to the pure joy of cracking open crystal-filled pockets, every moment was a gift. This trip wasn’t just about mining—it was about connection. Connection to Earth, to spirit, to intention, and to each other.
We are incredibly grateful for this experience and honored to share it with you. If you're curious about what the journey looked like, be sure to check out our Instagram and tap our Herkimer Mining highlight for more behind-the-scenes!
Sunstone is more than just a beautiful crystal-its vibrant, joyful energy infuses us with optimism and warmth! It embodies the spirit of the Sun, beaming with guidance, growth, and light. Like sunlight filtering through the clouds, it can lift heavy emotional states and help to connect you with positivity. Its natural ability to transmute negative energy can help you feel spiritually and emotionally lighter and more aligned. Sunstone offers relief during seasonal cloudy and winter days when we lack sunlight.
Sunstone can help clear and align both the Sacral Chakra and Solar Plexus Chakras. It reminds us that we are the source of our own Light and strength and helps increase our willpower and confidence. Sunstone can used when working toward challenging goals or during personal transformation. Its gentle energy ignites the fire within us by promoting self-empowerment and motivation.
Sunstone naturally protects us from excessive worry and negative thoughts. It can also cleanse our aura, especially when we've encountered negative or toxic situations. Wearing Sunstone jewelry or carrying a worry stone in your pocket helps to keep your emotional state centered and offers stability.
Sunstone is a spiritual ally for those stepping into a new chapter, reclaiming joy and playfulness, and or simply seeking more Light into your life. It serves as a reminder that the Sun always rises!

It is both destroyer and creator, representing the sacred flame within us that drives us to awaken and evolve. When we are in rhythm with its energy, we can alchemize personal transformation, enhance our passions, and reaffirm our vitality. It represents our divine spark that fuels creation and ambition and gives birth to desire and courage.

Our Solar Plexus Chakra is connected with the Fire element. It governs our willpower, confidence, and motivation. When it is aligned we cultivate an authentic life and are in control of our choices.
Archangels Michael and Uriel are closely associated with the Fire element. Archangel Michael is often depicted with a flaming sword representing purification and protection from low lying energies. Call upon them when in need of motivation, courage, and to illuminate our inner divine spark.
Our favorite crystals to work with the Fire element are Carnelian, Sunstone, Garnet, Citrine, and Hematoid Fire Quartz. They remind us that we are in control of our emotions and willpower, help to align our Solar Plexus Chakra, and ignite our passions.
To tap into the energy of Fire, you can engage in activities to promote clarity and self-confidence such as Yoga poses (Boat and Chair pose), a fire ceremony or light candles for releasing, practice Breath of Fire Breathwork, or a walking Meditation.
Fire is the element of transmutation. It reminds us of the divine spark within us all and empowers us along our spiritual journey!
