Welcome to All Things Health and Abundance podcast. This is a podcast where we discuss different health and abundance related issues and come with real tips and advice. Seems like nowadays so many of us use and have crystals, a bracelet, a necklace, or even crystals in the pocket or crystals all around our home. We hear about crystals for every occasion or problem. But what are crystals? How do they work? How can we choose the right crystal for us? Do they really have the power to change our life for the better? That's what we'll be discussing today. To do with me is Emma. She is the CEO of Elevated with Emma and she is also the host of her own podcast, elevated with Emma. She is a crystal enthusiast and she sells high quality ethical and high vibrational crystals. So thank you for being here. I read a bit about you online and I checked your website and it seemed like the perfect match. So I'm really happy to have you here.

Emma 1:25

Thank you for having me. I'm so excited.

Ada 1:28

Shall we start with talking a little bit about who you are, your work and your passion for crystals, how that was born?

Emma 1:37

Definitely. So like you said, I am the CEO of Elevated with Emma and I have my podcast, which is also called Elevated with Emma. My Passion for Crystals. This started when I was little. I've always loved crystals. I always like seeing them at the beach or in my backyard and I would always pick them up and I would always just collect them without even noticing that there is actually another world filled with information that has to do with crystals. And I didn't know anything about that spiritual side until later on in my life. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression at the age of 11, and I tried everything from prescribed medications to even meditation to help ease these feelings until I entered high school. So it was a pretty difficult couple of years for me. So I recently discovered during Covid when everyone was on their phones and everyone was just like, you know, everyone was just addicted to TikTok. The only thing that actually helped me with my anxiety and my depression was turning to crystals. So during that time, I dove deep into the world of crystals, and then I pursued my own crystal business at the age of 20.

Ada 2:48

Wow.

Emma 2:49

Research like two full years of research. I was so interested and so intrigued of why these so called rocks are helping me with my emotions and my anxiety. And. And then I found out that it helps with so much more than just what I was discovering.

Ada 3:10

That's amazing. So you actually got help with anxiety and depression from the power of crystals? Yes. Yeah. Amazing. So what are crystals and how do they work? Is every stone crystal, for example, and how do they work in order to heal us? Yes. So every stone is not considered a crystal. They can be considered like a gem or a mineral. It kind of depends what crystal Well, not crystal family, but what they're from. So like, some are categorized as like, like Amethyst is considered a crystal mold. White is considered a meteoroid some people, but it is considered a meteoroid. There's different categories for like, crystals, gems, minerals, and it goes on and on. But crystals are like magical compounds or minerals that are made by Mother Earth. And these crystals have energy in them and our human bodies do too. So we can exchange energy with a crystal to gain its benefits, which. I find the most, like, magical and ethereal. And that's what really got me into crystals. That's what made me do all my research. And that's that question is what drove me to where I am today. So each crystal has a different property as well as a vibration and frequency, just like plants and food does as well. And now I believe that there's science behind this. I've done tons of research on it, and crystals are used in watches, clocks, lasers and even hospital equipment. Crystals are used in these products to balance out energy currents, the same as they do to our body. They balance out our energy. And there is actually this video that I saw on TikTok. It came across my four page of the sky rubbing together to clear quartz crystals. And in between these two crystals, there was like energy forming electricity. And you can physically see the sparks from these two crystals being rubbed together. And another thing I came across was an EMF reader, which I am. It is on my wish list. They are expensive, but I want to buy it. So I saw this girl. She was holding the reader to a crystal and it's shown a number and that number was responding to its frequency and its vibration. Wow. And she touched the crystal and the number went down. And when the body gets connected to a crystal, the electromagnetic field absorbs the crystals, energy and vibration right away. So that's why the number went down. So that's sort of how crystals work with us. It is responding to our electro electromagnetic field and our energy, how we exchange energy. Everything on this earth has energy, so it doesn't need to be crystals that we exchange energy with. It could be plants, it could be food, it could be the planets. So it's. A whole new world of information. U2

Ada 6:08

Wow. But does this mean that the same way we get that, let's call it good energy from the crystal, the crystal would get, for example, our anxiety or depression or whatever we are going through.

Emma 6:20

Exactly. So, yeah, there are some crystals that will totally just transform the energy of what we are giving them. And that's what I find so magical about crystals is that they can just sort of take our energy and transform it into really our intention of what we want it to be.

Ada 6:42

Wow, that's amazing. What is the process one goes through before purchasing your crystal like this? You have some customers so you know how they think or the whole process of how they choose a crystal.

Ada 6:55

Yeah, definitely. So the process can be different for everyone, but I recommend this process. The first thing that you should do, and I cannot say this enough, I say this in like every single episode of my podcast is research, research and gain information about crystals and which one that you are interested in the properties. All of the above is so important when you are going into a crystal shop or if you're shopping online. It's so important to just have the knowledge of what crystal that you are looking for next is to find a trustworthy shop. This can either be online or local that sells good, quality, ethical if possible, and good price crystals. And then I would say go with your intuition. Intuition is so important when trying to find a crystal and try to stay out of crystal jail. And for people who do not know what crystal gel is, is when you spend way too much money on a crystal and you just have to pay it off. I've been in crystal jail way too many times. It's not fun, but it is worth it.

Ada 8:02

Okay, I understand. And so it becomes a little bit of an addiction, right?

Emma 8:08

It does. It does, yeah.

Ada 8:10

What do you mean with quality and ethical? Are there different crystals of different quality?

Emma 8:15

Yeah, there is crystals of different quality. So I actually just went to this gem show and I was looking at a piece of Koons and there are a couple sellers that did have Koons, and I was like, This looks so incredibly different from the Koons I saw over at this table over here. So I grabbed one of the pieces of candy and I grabbed another one. And the quality was insane. When you're looking for good quality crystals, you're looking for vibrant color, you're looking for transparency. Those are the two things that I really look for and ethical. You just want to make sure that they are the crystals are really coming from a good place. Basically, like the people who are mining it are are getting paid fair. And you just want to make sure they're from a good place. I'm not really like 100% sure of what ethical means. I just know that that is really important when it comes to buying crystals and I make sure to do it and I make sure to get my crystals from somewhere ethical.

Ada 9:20

I understand. It's like fair trade in fruits and vegetables.

Emma 9:26

Exactly.

Ada 9:27

Okay. Yeah. In the sense so there's something like that when it comes to crystals as well. And I guess it doesn't mean that the most expensive is necessarily the best quality, right?

Emma 9:38

Yeah, it does not mean that at all. Okay. It kind of depends how each seller prices their crystal.

Ada 9:46

Okay. Understand. Why do people purchase crystals?

Emma 9:51

So there are four main reasons why I believe people purchase crystals, and the first one is to collect them. There are a lot of people who will go on hunts to collect crystals that are rare, that are hard to find, that are even like collector's pieces that are absolutely amazing. I saw a couple of those at the show, too. Another one is just because of their looks. There are also a lot of people that just love crystals as decor. I started off like that personally. I had like this big amethyst table piece. I also had selenite book holders and I just use them because they were gorgeous and I use them for decor. Another one is that was the other one decoration or statement pieces, bookends. And then the last one is healing. And that's that's what I use them for.

Healing. Yeah, I know that when you buy crystal you have to clean it, right? And then you have to energize it. I think it's donated to the moon. Can you tell us a little bit more about that process of of cleaning the energy and energizing it?

Emma 10: 59

So there are many ways to cleanse and energize a crystal. The first way is smudging or incense. So this involves burning sage herbs or incense and passing the crystal through the smoke. And the smoke is believed to clear and cleanse any negative energy from the crystal. Another way is water. Some crystals can be cleansed with water and you can use any water that you desire. This could be streams, ocean water, water from your sink ponds or even moon water, rainwater. It literally could be anything. However, be careful not to use water on certain types of crystals such as selenite, which never needs to be cleansed. But if it is in contact with water, it will dissolve. Same with malachite. Malachite cannot be in water. It will number one, it's toxic. And number two, I think I'm not completely sure, but I think it does dissolve as well. Some crystals cannot go in salt water like malachite again. And when cleansing your crystals with water, it's crucial to just do your research on what crystals can be in water and what crystals cannot be in water. And the next one is sunlight and moonlight. So placing the crystal and sunlight or moonlight can also cleanse it, leaving the crystals out for a few hours in direct sunlight or moonlight is one of the things that I do at least once every month. And be careful with leaving some of these crystals out like amethyst because it could lose its natural color. The sun will literally soak up the amethyst, no color and it will become like dull. It just won't have that like purple color to it anymore. Which is it's really interesting. I didn't believe that. So I literally placed a couple of amethyst clusters in the sun for a couple hours. And I looked at them and I was like, Oh, I did not know that could happen. Leaving out crystals on a full moon is the most effective way of energizing and cleansing your crystals because it's the phase of the moon that is most powerful to us. And that means it's the phase of the moon that is most powerful to everything else that has energy. So cleansing my crystals on a full moon again, I do that like whenever there's a full moon once a month and I leave them there all night. I also make moon water too. Basically what moon water is, is you take like a cup or a jar or even like some people get like big bowls. You literally put drinkable water in there and you leave it out in the moonlight and charges the water with your intention. It could your intention could be anything. It could be like it could be love, it could be manifestation, it could be healing, it could be cleansing. And then you can use this moon water. You can drink it. You can put it in your food. When you're cooking, you can bathe with it, cleanse your crystals with it, do spells with it. Moon is one of my favorite ways to heal and to manifest and to just go deeper into my body. Like the moon is so powerful in so many ways. I'm getting a little off track here, but

please continue. I love listening to you.

The moon is so important to so many things in life and crystals and us being one of them. So yeah, sunlight. Moonlight is another amazing way to cleanse your crystals. Salt. Some people believe that placing crystals in salt can cleanse them. Some crystals cannot be cleansed with salt like malachite, which malachite malachite you could just cleanse with selenite and like sound healing and malachite can just not be cleansed with water or like, anything. So like, yeah, it could just be damaged by the salt. There are a lot of other crystals that should not be in salt, but salt is another amazing way to cleanse crystals of their energy as Himalayan salt is also very, very good too as well. So another thing is sound. Some people use sounds to cleanse crystals and this can be used by using a singing bowl, a bell, binaural beats, meditation, music or even other instruments. The vibration of any of these sounds can be highly cleansing, even to the human body as well. I usually what I like to do is I like to sit with my crystals. I will put them in my clear quartz singing bowl like literally inside. And sometimes I'll put water in it and I will just. Start playing the singing bowl and I will cleanse my energy and my crystals, energy and also the water in there sort of just helps like cleanse it even more. It helps to sort of cleanse and charge and sort of reset everything. So that's what I like to do with sound healing. I also love binaural beats. I usually use binaural beats when I'm on the go. Sometimes I will blare it in my car. I will listen to it in my earbuds whenever I sort of need like a like a like a refresh with crystals. There are so many properties that come with it and sound healing. There are so many properties that come with this. So if you're looking for like binaural beats, they literally have binary beats for meditation, binary beats for sleep, stress, anxiety, manifestation, love. They have it for literally everything. So sometimes when I am not using my singing bowl, I will. For example, if I needed to clean and cleanse or rose quartz, I will take that rose quartz and I will pair it with a binary beat that resonates with love or like frequencies and stuff like that. So that's been really helpful for me. Another way to cleanse is by earthing. This is one of the longer processes of cleansing crystals and involves burying a crystal in the ground for a week or even just letting the crystal lay in nature for a couple of hours to absorb the elements of Earth. That's another great way. And the last way is to cleanse it with your own energy. Actually, that's the second to last way. But you can cleanse a crystal by simply holding it in your hand or hole and visualizing a bright light coming from your body and going into the crystals. Letting the crystals sit with your energy can cleanse and reset and sort of it can cleanse your energy too, when you're doing it. But when you go into trance, when you go into a meditation, you can cleanse your crystals with your own energy. When your vibration is high, you can cleanse those crystals. And the last way is with Selenite. Selenite has cleansing properties and it cleanses any crystal when it's placed near it. So those are some of my favorite ways to cleanse crystals. There's a lot.

Wow. I think the one I've used the most is the longest one grounding because deep down I always was under the impression that that was the one that was working best. So basically, when you believe something, then probably comes true. So of course I do smudge as well and I have selenite, but I don't know why I have picked from all these methods. The one that is the longest actually

Yeah. I mean, it's different for everyone. For me, I personally love using the sun and the moon and corresponding like getting the planets involved with my crystals. That's been really one of my favorite ways to cleanse them. Also selenite. Those are my two favorite ways. Amazing. The symbol that you mentioned. So basically you put water and the crystals in there that are going to be cleansed and then you play the singing ball. Yes. Yep.

I've never tried this way. I've never actually tried to put anything in the symbol when I when I play it. So I will definitely try this one.

Yeah. Makes a different noise when crystals are in there, they they vibrate and it makes more like a I can't even explain it, but it is so highly vibrational. You could feel it throughout your whole body.

Wow. Amazing. Yeah. I'm going to try that. And the moon water. I have two questions about that. Yeah. Do you place crystals inside the water? And is it enough to leave this bowl of water on the window? Basically when for someone that doesn't have the possibility to leave it outside?

Yes. So for people who do not have the possibility to leave something outside, you can definitely put it in a windowsill or anywhere where the moon is going to hit that bowl. It could literally be through a window.

What if it's cloudy?

Yep. That still works too. Okay. Yep. If you do not plan to drink the moon water, then you can put crystals in the moon Water.

But if you plan to drink it better to avoid that.

Yes.

Okay. Good to know. Is it true that no one should touch your crystals? And if that happens, you should be cleansing it immediately? I remember both me and my sister were totally obsessed with this, that if I would touch her crystal, she would go crazy and would visit immediately. And the same for me. So is it true?

So it depends. I usually don't let anyone but my close friends and family touch my crystals if they are on the same energetic wavelength as me. Energy can cross over easily, and if someone with negative energy is touching your crystal, the crystal sometimes cannot connect with you as it once did. It could feel heavier or lighter, can even break. In some cases. I have cleansed my crystals on multiple occasions when someone I didn't know or someone who has negative energy has touched them. And it's not like a, I don't know you or your negative type of way. It's just how to care for your crystals because their energy could rub off on you through that. Like their energy can literally rub off on you through that crystal. So I would say, yes, it is true. In some cases, if you have people touching them that you don't know where they they sort of carry this energy that you're not really resonating with. Otherwise, I think it's safe for people that you really get along with or people that are on the same sort of energetic wavelength as you to touch your crystals.

Okay. So it's not an absolute for everyone. Yes. Just certain people that maybe your energy doesn't resonate with their energy.

Exactly. It depends.

Okay. You mentioned that crystals were helping you with anxiety and depression, so I thought to ask you about the different illnesses. If you could recommend something, you can pick the ones you want to to talk about like, for example, anxiety, depression or finding love or I don't know, any kind of physical health, mental health, money and abundance, you know, Take your pick.

Yeah. Do you want me to talk about all of them?

Yeah, sure. I would love that.

Yeah, definitely. So when finding love Rose Quartz is one of my favorite crystals. Love, including romance and self love. It's cliche, but it's one of the best crystals for love in general. There are also other crystals that associate with love like Carnelian for self love and confidence, Rhoda Knight for strengthening mother child bonds or any form of moonstone for more, a bit more of like a divine type of love. But Rose quartz is the best of the best, in my opinion. And when we're talking about physical health, clear quartz, aka the master healer, is great for any issue, whether it be physical, emotional or spiritual. And it's also an amplifier for other crystals. It'll amplify another crystal's energy. So, for example, if you have a headache, I would take some amethyst for the pain and pair it with clear quartz to maximize the energy and effect. 1s Okay. For mental health like anxiety and depression, I would use. Okay, so this is personally what I used and the crystals that have really helped me in my healing journey for depression. I would recommend Sunstone. It's known to be the happy stone and the vibrations it gives off are positive and elevating and for anxiety. On the other hand, the crystals that have helped me so much are Amethyst, which is known to be a anxiety elevator. Blue lace agate, clear quartz and Mukai Jasper. And honestly, any blue crystal is really calming like aquamarine Blue Fluorite and Lamar. There are a lot of crystals that help with anxiety and depression. You just need to look at the properties of each and every crystal that you are interested in and money and abundance. Pyrite and citrine are my go to when manifesting abundance and money. And one thing that trips people up is the color of crystals like green usually makes sense when we are manifesting money, but green is associated with the heart chakra. So many green crystals are abundant in the mind and the heart. They can be abundant in money like Malachite and even Peridot or Peridot. There are two different ways to say that. But even though that you can use them for attracting money, they focus more on abundance in the body, which I learned recently. Okay, Another one is for clearing energy. Selenite, like I said before, is my favorite one of my favorites to cleanse crystals with and to even cleanse my own energy with, especially because it literally cleanses like everything in your atmosphere. I have like a huge wand that I will scan over my body if my energy feels off. But holding a piece or having a selenite bracelet on can help clear and cleanse your energy fields. Another crystal. Well, it's not a crystal. It's Himalayan salt. If you have Himalayan salt in raw form, if you or if you even have it in like a lamp, it cleanses energy in a person or a environment. Himalayan salt lamps have the ability to purify the air by attracting water molecules from the surrounding environment and absorbing these molecules into salt crystals. This process emits negative ions into the air to neutralize the positive ions, which are said to be energetically draining. So those are my two favorite crystals or rocks to cleanse energy from yourself and even from crystals. So crystals for good energy at home. Amethyst is a go to for a at home statement piece. The energy of amethyst is unmatched and lots of crystal lovers have an amethyst as a statement piece in their home, including me. Even if you're not a crystal lover, it's weird. A lot of people go for Amethyst for a statement piece if they have no idea. The science and the spiritual aspects behind crystals, they will literally be drawn to a piece of amethyst or even like a piece of rose quartz and put it in their house without even knowing the properties.

I think Amethyst is the prettiest of them all, so maybe that's why. Or there's something about it attracts you. I remember it's the first. The first crystal I bought was also an amethyst. Yes, I have it.

Yeah. It's so weird. It's like all of us humans are just like the first crystal that we ever get is always amethyst. Even if you're a spiritual person, if you don't believe in crystals, it's always amethyst. It's so weird.

How about good luck?

Good luck. Yeah. So for centuries, Jade has been known to be the stone of luck. This is why you see green jade in some businesses, like nail salons, hair studios, restaurants. ET cetera. So keeping the stone nearby can help manifest Good luck into your life. Protection. Black, tourmaline and black obsidian are very protective stones. And when we are talking about protection, we are talking about protection from negative energy, protection from the evil eye drama spells and curses, black magic and even danger. These crystals put an energetic protective shield around your aura. They are great to have with you everywhere. Everywhere that you go. Like in your purse, in your pocket. I even keep mine in my car when I'm driving 1s to get rid of negative energy. The crystals that associate with protection and cleansing and clearing energy double up to get rid of negative energy. So selenite, black, tourmaline, black, obsidian, Himalayan salt. These can all absorb and transmute, all negative energy. And if you pair all of these crystals together, you even get a better effect.

Amazing. That's. That's truly amazing. Do you believe in spells and magic and do you work with it?

Yeah, I will have times where I will do spells and magic for like months at a time and then times where I just won't do anything at all and I will resort back to crystals. Yeah. So I'm not sure

Like it's on and off.

It is on and off. Yes. Yeah. But sometimes I will do like self love spells. I will do manifestations in like little bottles and I will literally charge them and I'll put moon water in them and yeah, I'll do little spells here and there. It's not like an everyday thing for me.

Okay, I understand. No, I was curious because I do work sometimes with candle magic, but it's also on and off for me because it requires a lot of time and energy, so I don't always do it. So that's why when you mentioned that, I was like, Oh wow,

yeah, I don't know about whenever I'm sort of done with my spell work, I sort of feel it. It depends. Sometimes I feel so energized and elevated and other times I'm completely wiped out. Yeah.

Yeah, same, same. That's why it's also on and off for me. But it is. It is powerful. It's very powerful. Okay. Are crystals also connected to affirmations? I was actually thinking about moldavite when I came up with this question because I have read and heard to some stories where people actually managed to manifest things in their life thanks to moldavite. Is that a thing that can motivate, help you change your life? And how would that working in practice?

Yeah. So affirmations and crystals actually go hand in hand. You can use affirmations based on your intention with the crystal that you are using. So for moldavite you can say with the high vibration of moldavite , my frequency ascends to the physical realm and I am connected with my higher self or I meditate with my mold device and experience visions that are out of this world. I also just released a podcast of just ethereal energy affirmations and connecting with the universe, and a lot of those affirmations connect to the energy of moldavite . So I recently just got moldavite , and there's a lot to say about this meteoroid. Moldova is not from our planet, it's from space. And if you've seen Moldova, you will know that it's very expensive and rare and sometimes even hard to get your hands on. Yeah, it's known to be the transformation stone and it can turn to one. It can turn someone's life upside down for the better, of course, but it can create some pretty drastic changes. These past couple of weeks, I have been through so much shit. Oh, my gosh. I don't even know if I'm supposed to say that. I know

I'm fine with that on my podcast.

I went through so much. But the lessons that moldavite have taught me are worth it. So I've learned that my body is the medicine and that change is always for the better, even if it feels like it's not in that specific moment. Everyone has their own experience withmoldavite. This is just mine. Some other things that moldavite has helped me with is astral traveling manifestation Dreamwork and being able to reach the Akashic records and overall raising my vibe and energy. And for people who are just starting off with moldavite, affirmations and moldavite can sort of amplify the energy of that meteoroid. And I wanted to also touch base on talking about what moldavite flush is. If any of your listeners are curious or wanted to get a piece of moldavite right, and I should I should talk about this on my podcast because moldavite Flush is a real thing. So this crystal vibrates extremely high frequency and when you hold moldavite, you can get a like warming feeling almost immediately. This will send vibrations through one's body and sometimes other people just won't feel anything. The flush from the moldavite can cause people to become lightheaded or even a little woozy because of how high this vibration is. So my advice when you get moldavite is to work with it periodically and small amounts of time sometimes. When I first started off, I would even get nauseous, super dizzy, shaky and hot flashes. So it's different for everyone. But I've never felt energy like moldavite, right? So my body reacted to it. Very different than what I read on the Internet. U2

Okay. Yeah, I understand. Is it like you can kind of charge moldavite, right, with with a desire with something that you want to manifest?

Yes.

Well, would that come true?

Personally, it has helped me. It has definitely connected me to the universe to co-create. It's been very I don't want to jinx it easy for me to manifest things in my life with moldavite.

Okay, But you shouldn't just get motivated and say, okay, now do your work because it will probably change your life completely.

Yeah, you got you got to put in the work too. It's not just the moldavite. The moldavite will flip your life upside down. It's all how you handle it. Okay. Okay. So in the process of that affirmation coming true, your moldavite will probably flip your your world upside down.

Okay. Yeah, good to know. So be ready for that if you're going down that path. Yeah.

So crystals, do we choose them or do they choose us? Because sometimes I haven't done any research. I go to a shop and I feel that I want to buy a specific crystal. What's all that about?

Yeah. So I believe that our intuition chooses a crystal. It's sort of like whenever you have an urge to buy something or to do something randomly, that's your intuition. When you go into a crystal shop, you can scan the shop and see what Crystal calls you. Sometimes your intuition will choose a crystal that you never thought that you would choose yourself. You can be drawn to a crystal because of the color, the shape, the meaning, and even the energy. And don't second guess your intuition. It's always right. So, for example, I was shopping for crystals to help with my anxiety a couple of years ago and the crystal market, Jasper showed up and I've been seeing Jasper in my TikTok videos Am I For You Page and in random blog posts on Google and even on my Instagram. I thought it was the ugliest crystal ever, and I did not want to purchase it. But the meaning behind the crystal and the energy that it gave off was what I really needed. It's like trial and error with. Sort of figuring out intuition needs. Your intuition is telling you. I explored my options and had an open mind, and Mookie became one of my favorite crystals to work with when I'm anxious alongside Amethyst and Blue Lace Agate and a couple of others. So always keep your mind open. Your intuition will flow way smoother if you're if you are open minded. Yeah. If you see an ugly crystal, that probably means it has some good properties I've learned from. It's amazing. It was beautiful because it's so normal to go for the amethyst, right? The sparkly, the purple. Yeah. Actually, I found the beauty in the properties and when I did that, it actually became such a pretty crystal to me and I thought it was so ugly. It's so weird. It's. It's a mixture of, like, yellow and oranges and brown and red. It's a very soothing stone. It's one of my favorites to work with, with for anxiety. U1

Okay. What was the name again?

Emma 35: 55

Mookie. Jasper. M o o k i t e.

Yeah. What would you recommend someone that is just getting started in addition to Amethyst and Rose Quartz? Of course.

Yeah. So I have a bundle of crystals for beginners on my website which includes clear courts, of course, Amethyst and Rose Court, Black Tourmaline, Selenite and Labradorite. And those are some of the crystals I first started with and first learned about. So I created a bundle for the people that come to my website that are new to crystals, and they can literally just grab a bundle. So my best tip when you are first buying and getting into crystals is to get only tumbled and raw pieces, not big ones. Sometimes the bigger the crystal, the more energy it holds. And that can be very intense for some people. And that goes into the next point. Keeping tumble and raw pieces around you can be easy and accessible. You can keep them in your bag, your car under your pillow, in your bathroom, literally anywhere. So that's why when I first started out, tumblers and rods were my go to even little carvings. So I can literally have them with me and their energy and their presence. I can have them with me anywhere and start focusing on one crystal at a time. Start learning about this crystal, where it came from, how you cleanse it, how to gain a connection with it, do your research and try to feel what kind of energy it gives off. When we focus on one or more crystals at a time, this can make us overwhelmed and we won't have the opportunity to really connect with one crystal.

Okay. I understand that. It makes sense. I wish I had started this way.

Me too.

I started off just collecting them and doing some research and then forgetting what I because I was so eager to actually

How can someone learn about crystals?

Yeah. So one of the ways I have learned about crystals is through a app called Guide to Crystals, which is free on the App Store. Another way is I also love Judy Hall books. They are packed with information and I mean, like packed. You can learn a lot from even one of her books. She has multiple. And the last way that you can learn about crystals or, you know, my favorite ways through my website, I provide blog posts and I have a learned section where you can learn all about the world of crystals. So if you choose to learn about Amethyst, I literally have a whole post that is talking about Amethyst, where it comes from its properties, how to cleanse it, if it can go in water or not, even to the scientific purposes like the hardness and what crystal family it comes from. So those are my favorite ways to learn about crystals.

Amazing. And lastly, how can people find you and if they want to purchase something from you? Do you send worldwide?

So I do not sell worldwide just yet. I am hoping to in the future, but to find me. My website is elevated with emma.com. My podcast is also called Elevated with Emma. My TikTok is also elevated with Emma and my Instagram is elevated with Emma. Everything is elevated with Emma. U2
