Crystals

There are literally thousands of websites about crystals, a quick search will bring you a wealth of information. Most children are naturally drawn to crystals and stones. Just playing with the crystals will make them feel better. It is important to cleanse crystals when you first buy them. You can either hold them under running cold water, use sound (putting them in a pan and banging it with a poon is fine or if you have a singing bowl you can use that) or place them in a bowl of salt. You should cleanse them regularly to keep them clean and sparkly.

Here is a list of properties to explain the most common uses for some of the most helpful crystals for children, but remember you know best what you need so if you are drawn to a particular crystal it is for a good reason.
