There are so many crystals, where should I start? That's a question that I asked myself when I started this beautiful journey almost 10 years ago. Each crystal has its own unique energy and power, oriented to a specific matter, which could go from manifestation to helping with health issues.
The process of selecting the right crystals to start can be overwhelming, don’t be scared! One of the main things I suggest is to take baby steps when it comes to it or just follow your intuition. Remember you don't choose the crystal, the crystal chooses you.
I'm happy to provide this list as I wish someone would have done it for me when I first started! Here is my guide of 6 crystals for beginners and their meanings.
