Crystals and gemstones for achieving goals

Ok, let’s be clear. Having crystals and gemstones around you will not drastically change your life. It will beautify it and may inspire you for sure. And it will facilitate certain changes in and around you. However, it will not do the hard work for you. And by hard work, I mean the inner contemplation (of being) and the outer physical steps (of doing).

Crystals, gemstones, and minerals are passive amplifiers of specific frequencies. They help to align our energy resonance with those specific frequencies. In a sense, they act as role models of what is possible and desirable. Gemstones can help you achieve your desires by amplifying certain desirable frequencies.

Kind of like how Oprah may inspire you to live a happier and healthier life. Oprah doesn’t make the changes in your life for you to experience happiness and wellbeing, she only provides inspiration and possibilities.

When you work with crystals, you must pay attention to the subtle signs and nudges. Those nudges are not always ‘crystal clear’, so developing a relationship and trust with your higher self and intuition will help you clarify the messages and act on them.

Below is a selection of stones that can help you with the different aspects of working towards a goal. It can be any goal or desire you have. Even the desire for inner peace and fulfillment.
