]]>Crystals are used in various ways. Some crystals like Clear Quartz and Citrine are used for their soothing and healing properties. Others are used for good luck, wealth, mental clarity, organization, fostering teamwork, creativity, alleviating stress, receiving a favor, and love.
Holding crystals, keeping them in your home, or wearing them in the form of jewelry are some of the many ways to harness the benefits that crystals have to offer. Some people collect crystals to beautify their homes or add to their collections.
Whatever reasons you collect crystals, you must know how to store them to prevent chipping and other damages. Think of the storage places or materials as shields for your crystals. They take the brunt of every smudge, fall, or rough encounter so that your crystal can remain in good condition.
Mohs' scale is used to classify minerals according to the hardness of their materials. It is a rough measure of natural minerals based on their reaction to scratching and abrasion. The Mohs scale is numbered 1 to 10, with 1 being a very soft mineral {talc} and 10 being a tough mineral {diamond}.
Using Mohs' Scale follows a straightforward process. You have crystal A and crystal B.
● If crystal A can scratch crystal B, then crystal A is tougher. If crystal A does not leave a scratch on B, then crystal B is more complex.
● If crystal A is scratched by crystal B but cannot be scratched by crystal C, then A's hardness is between crystal B and crystal C.
When storing your crystals, you do not want to put the soft stones in the same place as the hard ones because the delicate crystals might get scratched or damaged due to frequent contact. This does not only apply to soft stones but brittle ones too. Crystals like fluorite and diamond can fracture easily upon contact with a complex and durable stone.
To protect soft and easily cleaved crystals, store them in velvet pouches to provide a soft shield if the bag is jostled around. You can also place both brittle and weak stones in a box that has separate compartments. The compartments should have a cushiony material at the bottom before you place the crystals.
Although this is not a standard method, it has its benefits. Storing your crystals according to color not only makes them look organized or pretty but also intensifies their natural resonance. If you collect crystals for their healing power, then you should consider color-coding.
Make separate sections for red, blue, yellow, green, and other colors of your crystals so that you can easily pick a color when you want to manifest or meditate. It also ensures that your stones are vibrating at the same frequency and not working against each other.
From protection, mental clarity to love, crystals have many benefits to the wearer or user. Organizing and storing your crystals according to their properties will make it easier for you to pick a stone that suits your needs at any given time.
If you are going through a hard time dealing with anxiety or depression, you know that all you need do is check your storage for crystals like amethyst or smoky quartz and manifest a clear mind. If there is a problem that needs an immediate solution, instead of rifling through your collection of stones, you already know where Tourmaline, Calcite, and Tigers eye crystals are
kept.
For people who love everything to be in perfect order or quickly forget where things are, this is an ideal solution that keeps things arranged and close to your reach.
Another method of storing crystals is according to the crystal family.
It is pretty simple; keep all Quartz stones in the same compartment, the different shades of Topaz in the same box; Aquamarine, emerald, yellow beryl, and other beryl family members in the same bag, and so on.
There are several ways to store crystals and rocks, but there are also wrong ways to keep them. Avoid practicing these improper methods to avoid damage and conflicting energies.
Crystals radiate frequencies that can be used for different purposes. Each stone possesses a different vibe and transmutes unique energies. These energies can either supplement or hinder the other. Which is there are specific stones that should not be paired or put together.
A few examples are:
Carnelian increases vitality, boosts your energy, and restores motivation. It is the stone you need when carrying out a task, but you lack inspiration. Amethyst, on the other hand, cools your energy. It is useful when you feel agitated or anxious.
Pairing these two together is generally seen as a bad idea because their opposing properties will send confusing signals to your chakra. They will cancel each other out, which will eventually leave you depleted.
If you want to sleep, then it's best not to pair these two together.
The energizing properties of Carnelian are what you need to start your day if you don't have a hot cup of coffee. Placing the stone in your pocket or wearing it as a piece of jewelry is bound to give you the extra zing to keep your feet moving all day.
However, it cancels out the soothing effect of Tigers' Eye, which acts as a lullaby to shut all open tabs in your mind and sing you softly to dreamland.
Storing your crystals is easy. While there are no rigid rules, these guidelines help to protect your stones, preserve their color and texture. You can also create your system of identification if it makes it easier for you.

We feel tired, confused, and overwhelmed at certain times in our lives, just wanting to curl up under the covers, close the door, or call in a sick day.
During those periods, we cannot concentrate at work to effectively carry out tasks and projects. Even the simple things like going grocery shopping, meeting up with friends, and doing the things you love become daunting chores. You have to force yourself to try and meet up with deadlines, fake a smile when you are around friends.
With the present global situation and circumstances around us, it is becoming increasingly hard not to feel hopeless, lost, discouraged, and depressed. But, with all that is happening, there is still hope. And some of the hope we need to get through every day come in the form of nature's generous gift to us; crystals.
For hundreds of years, crystals have been used as healing aids for physical wellness and emotional and mental health. Crystals radiate positive energy that can boost your mood and supply you with a healthy dose of desire, happiness, hope, and assurance to balance out the negative energy around you and keep you going every day.
Here are some crystals that can help improve your mood every day:
When you are faced with negative emotions that threaten to drown you in a sea of anxiety, hopelessness, anxiety, and frustration, remember the turquoise gemstone. The calming effect of the stone is akin to the surface of a clear, still lake.
Turquoise is associated with serenity, peace, hope, patience, emotional balance, and tranquility. The gemstone will help clear those troubling thoughts that keep you awake at night, dispelling negative energy associated with anger and fear to fill you with happy thoughts and a renewed mind. It can also be used to foster peace in an environment filled with conflict, e.g., your work environment.
You can put the crystal beneath your pillow for a goodnight's sleep or wear it as jewelry so that it stays with you wherever you go.
One of the benefits of opal is the emotional relief it brings.
The crystal reflects and enhances your mood when you wear it. The stone's positive energy helps when you are stressed or worried about decisions you have to take and how to carry out specific tasks and activities.
Often, when you attempt to solve an issue and, after several tries, find yourself stuck without a solution, your response would be to give up. Opal helps to enhance concentration and open a pathway to a more precise and sharper mindset.
Ocean opal, one of the types of opal, promotes clarity, peace, and tranquility to achieve a state of calmness necessary to meditate correctly and find solutions to your problems. The best way to use opal is in the form of jewelry such as a pendant.
The stone's energy around your neck and close to your heart will make you feel lighter and channel out all pent-up emotions.
Like the Opal crystal, Garnet helps to alleviate disharmony and restore emotional balance. The healing rays of the crystal will help to increase your self-esteem, improve your confidence, and reaffirms your belief in who you indeed are and the things you can achieve.
Wearing jewelry made from the gemstone will give you enough strength and courage to remain strong through trying and difficult times.
Garnet will block negative energy around you from evading your thoughts and, in return, send positive reviews to change your perception and provide help when you feel hopeless, lost, and all alone.
The yellow rays of Citrine are associated with the sun, bringing hope, light, and happiness to the wearer's heart. The crystals help to remind us to be grateful for what we have and appreciate the good around us.
With all that is happening today, you might find yourself worrying about the future and what it holds in store for you. Worrying not only closes our minds to the possibility of recognizing the good things around us, but it becomes hard to live life without stress and constant anxiety.
Citrine acts as a gentle aid to remind us that there is more to life than chaos and disharmony. It helps us to be mindful and appreciate the beauty around us. As a manifestation crystal, it encourages us to maintain a positive mindset and go through life grateful for what we have.
The Celestite crystal derives its name from the word, “caelestis” which means heavenly.
The crystal is said to have a powerful connection to heaven and is filled with pure angelic entities. Celestite produces a calming effect that helps release unwanted feelings that weigh you down, block negative energy, and cut off unhealthy attachment.
In return, the gemstone brings peace, serenity, and calmness. It also releases tension, stress, and anxiety.
When you are in an environment and you feel negative thoughts try to overwhelm you, the high frequency of the Celestite will repel those thoughts, replacing them with positive vibes to boost your mood and lift your spirits.
Amethyst is also known as the Happiness crystal because of the aura it generates around the wearer. The crystal brings you to a calm and centered state of mind while also uplifting your mood.
Amethyst helps when you are feeling down, depressed, nervous or tense. It promotes mental clarity and assists in easing stress and anxiety. The gemstone's mental and emotional healing properties calm and clear the mind, bringing us serenity even in the darkest circumstances.
Wearing the crystal as jewelry allows you to take the calming effects of the amethyst wherever you go and tap into the benefits that it provides at will.
With the aid of the crystals, you can improve your mood, seek mental clarity, enjoy self-confidence, and be filled with enough hope and optimism to live on every day.

Carrying out daily activities is a necessity to achieve set goals, whether big or small. It could be going grocery shopping after a long time, finish up reading in preparation for finals, or turning in a project.
The small steps, like writing that list and making time or spending extra hours at work to complete a task, are building blocks that create the bridge we use to cross from decision making to achieve those goals.
But, there are also distractions. Many things, every day, are vying for our attention.
A task that is supposed to take a short time gets postponed over and again. You might be sitting down, ready to turn a simple idea into a more detailed process and lose your train of thought halfway. The picture gets abandoned, and the project, unfinished. Time management and decision-making become arduous tasks for you.
Disturbances create erratic and unstable actions and thought patterns, leaving you very frustrated, flustered, and even ready to call it quits. But, you don’t have to worry when you have your crystals nearby.
We have selected some crystals that can help you stay clear of interruptions, disturbances and give you the one thing that you need; mental clarity.
One of the things that cause what is known as "zoning out" is a lack of energy.
It can stem from anxiety, depression, trauma, and fatigue. Without the fuel to go on, you will find yourself lagging and concentrating more on unhealthy and unhelpful thoughts. The calming properties of the gemstone positively increase your ability to focus, leave everything behind and concentrate.
The soothing effect will calm your anxious mind and center your focus on yourself and your surroundings.
Amazonite reminds you that the trustworthy source of mental clarity comes from focusing on yourself, self-care, and holding on to the hope that whatever it is you set your mind to, you can make it come true.
Getting into your Zen mode can be very hard sometimes. The noise from your thoughts and the world around you will infiltrate your personal space- mind and keep you from getting to the state of absolute calm.
That is why you need the Clear Quartz gemstone around you all the time.
The gemstone rids your mind and body of any clutter, boosts concentration, and on top of that, you get a healthy dose of wisdom. It also inspires creativity and fuels inspiration. Because the Clear Quartz possesses the capacity to absorb, store and release, it is a good source of learning, retaining, and recalling important information whenever you need it.
That way, you don’t have to worry about losing your line or thoughts or screwing up a project. You can be sure that the Clear Quartz will keep your mind- front, center, and on track.
Fluorite has a lot of benefits associated with mental clarity. It is known as the stone of mental order and clarity.
Like the Clear Quartz, it helps you absorb and retain information and frees your mind of junks and clutter. The gemstone is a good aid for students because it removes mental blocks and clears up the path to better understanding and concentration.
If you are stressed and filled with worry, then the Fluorite gemstone will be sure to help you get rid of negative energy, filling your mind with positive vibes to help you achieve the balance you need in your everyday life.
It has been highly regarded as a learning aid for people with ADHD and other learning disabilities. The calm energy that this blue stone radiates will create in you a spiritual awakening, promote rational thinking, and guarantee you easy problem-solving techniques when you need them.
To successfully do a particular thing, carry out an activity, you must be confident in your ability to execute all the needed steps and procedures correctly.
Lack of self-confidence has often clouded our thoughts and thrown us off balance, creating distortion and fogginess where clarity once was. Stress is also a contributing factor that makes it hard to focus on a particular task long enough to complete it.
The grounding energy of this gemstone absorbs the negative energy around you, keeping your focus and center. It helps your mind focus on the present task and arouses logical thinking.
Hematite fills you with enough self-confidence, assurance, and determination to put on your "armor," go out there and be the best only you can be.
Citrine is an all-around stone for your mind, body, and spirit. The gemstone helps you get rid of self-limiting thought patterns that stifle creativity and limits progress. The crystal will help you sharpen your problem-solving skills, become alert to your surroundings and life around you.
When you feel down, weak and depressed, the yellow and bright color of the Citrine will have you bursting to the seams with positive vibes and renewed energy. It is the best way to resume or begin work after taking a long time off. You can be sure that when you decide to put your hands back to the task, your creative juices will be overflowing, and everything will be crystal clear.
There are certain bad habits and thoughts that you need to get rid of to achieve mental clarity. These habits, by yourself, might be hard to break free from because they have been incorporated into your everyday life and are now part of who you are.
Malachite helps you let go of detrimental behaviors that will not benefit you in the long run. The gemstone gives you the courage and strength to finally free yourself from bad ties and negative experiences and start on a promising path.
Negative thoughts, emotions, and bad habits should not be allowed to control our lives. What we strive for are complete focus and mental clarity. Whether in a casual setting or at work, these stones are sure to keep you focused, well-grounded, and prepared to take on anything.

When the year started, we had resolutions and a list of goals we hoped to achieve before the year ran out. And for some of us, those items have been successfully ticked and marked, while for others, there might still be a long line ahead.
If you have a list of things you promised yourself that you would do before the end of the year but have not been done, you might find yourself wondering if these goals are achievable. Other times, you might be wondering if it’s best to give up altogether.
The truth is, nothing worth doing can be achieved easily. There are obstacles we have to pass to make things happen.
Sometimes, we are unmotivated and tired to stand up, go out there, and tick off more things on that list. Or, your mental health plummeted along the line, throwing you into a pool of anxiety and depression- unable to do anything.
But there is good news; you don't have to feel like a failure because you have lost track of your aims and objectives. Crystals are gentle aids that can push you back on the road, bring out the spark and guide you into using the rest of four months to make your dreams come true.
These best stones for goal setting are perfect in helping you set and achieve your goals.
The first key to achieving any goal is commitment.
You have to be committed to a path, plan, or purpose. It is also something that most people fail at commitment and consistency.
The purple energy of the amethyst will keep you devoted to that purpose and ward off every possible distraction. Its energy radiates you to remain focused and centered as you go about your daily activities.
It cleanses the air around you, rids it of negative energy, and radiates positivity.
Other crystals that can be used to regain the feeling of commitment are the red and pink crystals like Rhodochrosite, Pink Manganocalcite, Tiger’s Eyes, Ruby and Pyrite.
We all need a bit of luck, but a lot can get you even further. Rose quartz is called the love stone.
The aura of the crystals opens your heart and the heart of others around you to favor you. This might just be what you need before applying for that long-deserved promotion or finally taking the break you need to start up your own business.
The stone is what you need to turn a bad day, week, or period into a happy and go-lucky one. It deflects the negative aura, clears the mind, and helps us find solutions to problems and difficulties.
Other stones that serve the same purpose are; Garnet, Carnelian, Clear Quartz, Labradorite, Tiger's Eye, and Amazonite.
The overall reason for goal setting is to achieve success- all around. Citrine is the money stone and merchant stone that aids financial, career, and health success.
As you work hard, put in those hours round the clock, work those extra shifts, study for exams, and all other efforts to achieve your goals, do not forget to have a Citrine crystal to boost your chances of success.
If you cannot get Citrine, another excellent option is the sunstone. The sunstone radiating the sun's energy is filled with abundance. It attracts fame, popularity, and overall prosperity.
If you are in a leadership position, you should also get this crystal to stimulate creativity and teamwork to produce successful results.
Enthusiasm keeps the spark that drives us alive. It is the fuel that helps us accomplish day-to-day activities.
You might have the necessary skills to do a project or a job but lack the zeal to see it through to the finish line. When the energy dwindles and progress comes to a halt, the Garnet crystal will provide you with the dose of inspiration you need to get things back on track.
Carnelian, Aventurine, Lapis Lazuli are also stones that will give you overflowing divine energy and keep you running.
There are always obstacles on the way to achieving set goals. These obstructions often require a lot of time and energy to figure out solutions. The time spent can result in less time to carry out that project, duty, or activity. This is where Fuschite comes in.
The stone helps you figure out quicker, effective, and more efficient ways to overcome barriers. It also clears up a path to reach the end goal faster than others around you.
From these experiences, you can also learn patterns to solve similar problems and improve in all areas. Crystal substitutes for Fuschite are; Prehnite to enhance focus and Buffer crystal to restore balance.
Fluorite is thought to be the best stone for concentration and total focus. It piques the interest of the mind. The crystal boosts memory retention, helps you recollect information that you might have forgotten. When you need to focus amid distractions, it is good to have fluorite nearby to clear mental obstacles and drown out the rest of the world.
If you are the kind of person that forgets things quickly, then a fluorite necklace is just the thing you need to keep your mind sharp and steady.
If you do not believe in yourself that you can achieve a particular thing, it will be hard for someone else to believe in you. What you project to the universe is the energy that will come back to you. Insecurities, self-doubt, and self-depreciation are some of the things that keep us from achieving our goals. But Carnelian can help elevate self-confidence and increase your self-worth.
When you begin to believe in your capabilities, you will find that you will start to attain heights you never knew you could reach.

Bad energy can stop you from connecting to and attaining your higher self.
Have you ever been in an environment, house, or among friends where you can tell that the energy around is either suffocating, unimpressive or dark?
You cannot only see or tell the physical state of the place but can also feel the place - the energy in the space.
Purifying your space means purging the negative energies you can sense in the space, even if they haven’t started actively influencing the area.
While there are several ways to purify a space, one significant way to do it is by using natural crystals for cleansing and purifying your space.
The best crystals for purifying your space and removing negative energies are:
As a crystal lover, you may have heard of Shock-absorbing materials or energy-absorbing crystals (negative energy). The black tourmaline is precisely that.
Yes. This crystal takes in negative energy and creates a positive energy shield around you and your space. When your energy levels are low due to an overshadowing, this stone helps to bring light into the gloom and serves as the perfect pick-me-up.
The black tourmaline crystal comes in several colors, ranging from watermelon color, a variety of red hue, and intense green color to Paraiba. These colors help to balance your chakras’ potential forms of energy.
You could say it is a very versatile stone that keeps your energy in check.
Selenite is a powerful healing crystal that clears blocked energy, taking away unwanted energies from your surroundings.
This masterpiece provides peace and calm in a cluttered mind while bringing clarity mentally and emotionally.
You can use the crystal to cleanse your energy, home, and even other crystals.
The Selenite holds a positive essence that focuses on blocked energy. Blocked energy could be evident when one is afraid to have conversations that may be a bit tough with someone who has hurt them, causing problems like ill health, body tension, etc.
I know a crystal lover who places the citrine stone in the corners of her office, which doubles as her home.
I asked her why she’s so obsessed with the stone, and she said, “I have heard people say they have or are experiencing a creative block and did not understand then. I once was in their shoes. Ever since I intimately started building a good relationship with my crystal, I have been able to reach a level of healing where my ideas are now fresh and creative.”
If you feel blinded and struggle to gain clarity, having the citrine stone on hand is suitable for bringing calm and clarity to get your creative juices flowing.
If you are bashful and looking to live a quiet, balanced life, this natural stone will help you stay calm in triggering situations.
A friendship filled with love and a connection that is more than just going out to eat together or having sleepovers is one where we can speak freely, chill but more especially find solace around one another.
Inviting your friends over is a great idea. You get to have conversations where the energy is vibrant and beautiful; matters are aired and cleared. This action can be activated using one of the best cleansing crystals - The Amethyst.
This crystal rids your space of negative thoughts and energy while creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can be open and vulnerable with your circle. It is ideal for use at home, where you often have family gatherings.
Tell me one thing you can’t do without - Air. Right now, you may want to go closer to the window and immerse yourself in the fresh air coming inside. Now tell me, how do you feel?.
You see, your space should be allowed to breathe, creating a pathway to new energy for you. It is crucial to preserve untainted energy everywhere you find yourself; by doing so, you can enter into a deeper state of stability while reflecting with gratitude.
Some benefits of using these best crystals for cleansing and purifying your space include:
● Enjoying ease naturally.
● Elimination of impurities and aromatic benefits
● Gaining clarity to make better decisions
● Improved bond with families and friends
● Sensitivity to the energy in your space so that you can stay on guard to protect yourself from negative energy.
It is essential to keep the aura around you shining, bubbling, and optimistic. That way, you will start the day feeling invigorated and end it the same.
Blocked energy is terrible, and if you are intentional about it, you can use these natural stones to purify your space and live your best life daily.

When infused with sunlight, it radiates your intentions and has the power to turn your dreams into reality. If you are looking for a daily dose of self-confidence booster, you should get this healing crystal.
Caring for your crystals start from the moment you bring them home. You will need to wash away any negativity they may have picked up from the store you bought. To do this, simply hold them under cold, runny water from a tap or rinse them in a natural water source like a river. Be sure that the water is neither hot nor warm, as you should only use cool water when rinsing your healing crystals.
For improved cleaning, add a bit of sea salt to the water or burn sage over the crystals to rid them of unwanted energy. If you live close to an ocean, clean your crystals in the flowing water body. You can also cleanse your crystals by leaving them to dry out in the morning sunlight or under a full moon to allow the light to filter through them.
Apart from the physical care, one way to enhance the power of your crystals is by removing all the negative energies, doubt, or skepticism in your mind about their ability to work. If you do not respect or trust these crystals to work, you will not get the healing results you seek.
The single, most important key to unlocking the powers of these haling crystals is to be open-minded. Being open to the energy they exude will leave you feeling physically and emotionally whole in no time.

Pretland family cares about your health and safety. We have selected the best spiritual crystals just for you.
These crystals are capable of creating a nurturing force field around you, protecting you from vices and negative energy.

Let’s see what each of them can do.
Our black tourmaline has been ratified for its healing and protection properties especially against psychic attacks and permissive thinking.
It saps in negative energy leaving behind neutrality and healing in its place. I highly recommend black tourmaline for healing and protection against cancer. It is known to cub hazardous radiations from our electronic appliances, which includes our phones and laptops that could have led to cancer.
You can make necklaces, rings, or other clothing accessories from it, just make sure you carry it when you entering a situation that brings anxiety and involves danger. It is advisable to carry one, as you carry your phone around to maintain neutrality.
Are you plagued with ill vibes and unfortunate situations? This crystal is just for you. Obsidian is also called volcanic glass.
It was made from molten lava that cooled quickly. It naturally serves as a negativity absorber. It sucks up ill vibes and pessimism and needs cleaning after a while.
After purchasing your obsidian, you should celebrate the moment by the ceremony of cleaning your newly purchasing obsidian under running water and visualizing all the negative energy as they are been washed out of your life, flowing down the drain.
Obsidian also serves as a truth-seeker, since it can serve as a compass to navigate the source of negativity around you. Purchase your obsidian here today, and also learn how to effectively use it.
Amethyst’s healing ability has been the subject of both myth and legend. It has been used right from early times to treat from a spider bit to acne. Greek mythology also portrays its usefulness in mental health. Natural health practitioners have ratified that amethyst possesses physical healing including:
These are all scientifically unproven claims; however, testimonies of remarkable healing prove otherwise. Our purple amethysts the most potent and affordable.
If you are interested to try out any of the benefits of our crystals for yourself, here are a few ways you can use them efficiently:
These crystals absorb negative energy and diseases, they demand to be cleaned periodically by you to enable them to continue their function.
One would say isn't it just a jewel, while the promise of both protection and healing. But I will assure you have not been scammed.
For science lovers, those that can only be convinced by facts.
I have taken the time to draft out a few.
The University of Hawaii cancer stated the existence of cancerous minerals on gravel roads in Dunn County, North Dakota according to Science News, July 26, 2011. Those who breathe in the air every day are at high risk of developing mesothelioma. The reason for this was Erionite when airborne lodges its fibers into people’s lungs.
National Cancer Institute (NCI), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) together with other agencies are speaking of illnesses like a terminal disease, cancer, caused by harmful radiation emitted by certain minerals and even our mobile phones are guilty of this.
We see that the influences by these elements of negative energy are unavoidable. Nature always finds a way to balance itself by creating an element of tranquility, crystals, capable of neutralizing the World’s vices. Pretland family finds a way to bring you the best, right here are the crystals you need.

Hi crystal lovers,
Recently we received a question from a Pretland subscriber who was concerned about her co-worker who was going through some difficult moments in her life.
“I'm sure this has been asked before but what is a good crystal to help with anxiety? I have a co-worker who suffers from anxiety attacks, ones she sometimes has at night. Keeps her up makes her tired and she is on medication for them. I would love to help her. Any suggestions for ones she might be able to put under her pillow at night to help her sleep maybe? Thank you”
I always feel that as spiritual beings, we are always more empathetic and sensitive to those around us, especially if they are hurting.
When it comes to anxiety, it is not easy to deal with it as someone who has been through it before.
Thankfully, I have three crystals in mine to help someone feel better when they suffer from these attacks at night.
1. White Howlite
White Howlite is a crystal that not many crystal lovers know about but did you know it does wonders for those who battle against anxiety every day?
This is because the crystal helps you to release emotional pain that might cause us to feel anxious all the time so that we can let go of painful experiences in the past.
2. Rose Quartz
By being one with the Earth and connected to its energy, it will help you release the emotional pain and naturally become less anxious.
Try going out to the park or your garden to blend in with nature while wearing a Rose Quartz piece of jewelry sometimes.
3. Amethyst
Lastly, we have Amethyst, one of my favorite crystals when it comes to healing emotional pain, soothing stress and even anxiety.
Amethyst has strong healing and cleansing powers that help you to wash away all the negativity inside that makes us anxious.
Hence it helps us to keep a clear mind so we can focus on the positive things instead.
While these crystals can help us for sure with anxiety attacks and sleep better at night, there are other ways as well.
That can help us such as doing inner spiritual work and daily meditation.
Lastly, why not treat yourself to a gift or crystal jewelry that can provide you with the emotional healing we all need?
Love
Jenny
]]>Having emotional balance is very important for both our personal life and work life. When we do not have an emotional balance, we could not establish healthy relationships with other people, and we can experience some problems such as sudden anger. Natural crystals, which are believed to store the positive energy of the earth, can be very helpful for you to have emotional balance. In this post, you will find the best crystals for emotional balance.
Obsidian is perhaps the best stone for emotional balance. When you have obsidian with you, or when you keep it in your home or your office it will work as a shield for you. It will absorb the negative energy in the environment, and provide you with positive thoughts and emotions. Thanks to the positive effects of obsidian, you can easily find your true self.
Tiger’s eye also has an important role in balancing your emotions. Many people who suffer from anxiety or conflicting emotions use the tiger's eye to balance their mood. If you also suffer from emotional instability, you may consider trying Tiger’s eye. You will get rid of fear and anxiety, and start to feel free again.
Ruby is known as the crystal of energy and vitality. Most people who suffer from emotional instability also complain about low energy. When you feel that you do not have energy for anything, you will start to experience emotional balance in a short time because you cannot be happy if you feel tired all the time. If you wear jewelry made of ruby, you can start to feel energetic again. You will find your true self in a short period of time, and you will find the emotional balance that you need.
As you can understand from its name, bloodstone works with your blood. You may think that the blood in your body and emotional balance have nothing in common, but you are wrong if you think that. It is believed that if your blood is not cleansed, it may spread the negative energy to your soul. If you get help from bloodstone, your blood would be cleaned in a spiritual sense, and you will achieve emotional balance.
Amethyst is a very beneficial crystal for the people who want to get rid of emotional instability. This stone evokes the positive energy in the soul of the user, and removes negative thoughts and feelings. Moreover, it is also effective against insomnia. As you probably know, insomnia is a significant factor for emotional instability, and when you sleep better at night, you will feel more energetic, and can achieve emotional balance and strength.
Citrine is the crystal of amusement. People who use citrine even for a short time start to find joy in their everyday life. You can see the sources of joy in your life that you were not able to see before. Moreover, it removes negative feelings like fear or anxiety. Citrine would be a good choice for the people who want to overcome emotional instability.
Emotional instability is one of the most common problems of modern society, there are different ways that you can try to overcome them. The spiritual power of crystals becomes more and more clear everyday, and you can give them a chance. They can help you to find the main source of emotional instability in your life, and you can overcome it with the help of the crystals. We advise you to try using crystals against emotional instability at least for once, you will start to feel positive again.
]]>Recently I had a friend come to me telling me she was dealing with lots of negativity in her life so she asked me for some advice.
Here’s what I told her when it comes to dealing with adversity in life. I am sure you will be able to start applying them in your life too.
I even broke it down into three simple tips later on so you will know how to react when life throws you a curveball.
We all face adversity from time to time but how you react is often the difference between taking it in your stride.
And at other times, feeling overwhelmed and as though nothing can ever go right again.
This is similar to the self-help book I am reading now as it also talks about how the only thing that truly matters is how we perceive the event in our lives.
Yes, even the most negative events can be perceived as a positive event after you allow your soul to heal.
How often have you tried something that did not turn out the way you expected and it made you decide you would rather never challenge yourself in that way again.
Rather than facing the feelings of failure, embarrassment or humiliation?
The problem with this is that we human beings derive happiness from personal growth yet we are so afraid of failure because our environment tells us that failure is a bad thing.
Do you recall a time in your life where you tried some new exercise, diet, or meditation?
And then it made you so much happier because you started to feel yourself growing like a seedling into a big pine tree?
That is the same feeling I am talking about.
So how do you protect yourself from the feelings of 'not enough' and regain your courage to face life with all of the challenges it will throw at you?
Here are the three tips to help you with all of that.
What did you do to feel better? What things did you do that helped? What are the things you did that did not help?
Build awareness around what you can consciously do to create a better environment that will support your journey to overcome the situation.
Tap on your past experience and higher self to help you with adversity in the now. After all, we all have our own treasure trove of knowledge and intuition to tap onto.
What can you learn from this situation? If you could change it, how would you act differently? What were the positives?
Is there something you can do differently if you are in the same situation again?
Every part of life we experience, good or bad, is part of who we become.
Even the most difficult of situations allow us to build resilience and coping techniques which we can then utilize in other parts of life.
This was such an important principle I learned from a spiritual mentor of mine early on in life and started applying it daily.
It helped me to shift my mindset from seeing failure as a negative thing to something positive which sounds impossible but very possible at the same time.
By having this beautiful relationship with failure, you will start to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations that help you to develop and bloom into a more beautiful being.
Take a moment to feel the physical emotions you are experiencing as a result of the situation.
How would you explain these? What color would you describe them as? Can you notice the emotion or feeling and once identified, let it go?
Building awareness around your reactions to situations will help to judge if those feelings are helpful, and if not, how can you remove them? Will identifying them be enough?
Do you need to go for a walk or exercise or listen to music or read a book to distract those emotions from taking over your whole being?
You can also try going for a walk with your dog or wear a piece of crystal that helps to soothe your fear and anxiety, dissolving the negativity in you such as Amethyst or Rose Quartz.
In case you like to see some examples of them, I have also recommended some of them below for you.
Remember, you deserve to be happy like anyone else. Don’t ever let anyone take that away from you.
In life, there will be ups and downs but that is necessary because it is part of the process to help us grow into the most spiritual version of ourselves.
Wishing you love and light.

Here are the three crystals we have picked out specifically for you to support you in setting new intentions for 2021.
Time to shoo all the inertia away and get moving to the next stage in your spiritual journey.
I am sure Amethyst will be a great tool for your transformation too because it acts as your “spirit helmet.”
This crystal complements very well with Amethyst and Lapis Lazuli to give you the “Rebirth Trinity” to give you the maximum support you need to undergo a new transformation in your life. I usually love to alternate between Tiger’s Eye and Amethyst when it comes to picking a crystal for mental clarity and focus. (I am still biased towards Amethyst though for important events) With these crystal babies to support you, I have no doubt that you will be able to become a better version of yourself and move forward in your spiritual journey. With the spirit sword, helmet and shield, it’s time to battle our inner imps and defeat them so we can go to the castle! Charge on Pretland warrior. I will see you at the castle.

]]>Hey guys,
As a crystal lover, I love to spread the positive message of how spiritual and healing crystals can benefit our lives.
And recently, a friend of mine sent me this lovely gift because she knows I love Amethyst crystals.
It is a beautiful tapestry that she calls “Jenny’s Witchy Habitat.”
About a year ago, this friend fell into a deep depression and she was on the verge of doing terrible things to herself because she had very bad thoughts.
Even though my situation back then was not as bad as hers, I could empathize with the pain and negativity she surrounded herself with.
So I started to meditate and pray for her.
As she started to learn more about healing crystals, she started to enjoy having the company of the crystals around her every day.
And she told me she would start to feel better slowly.
Day by day, she would start to write down things she would be grateful for and meditate with her crystals.
And guess what, little did you know today she is a completely different person.
She is now full of joy and she has already built an enormous crystal collection that she is proud of.
Seeing how healing crystals have helped me and countless others to improve their lives makes me so happy.
Just thought sharing this story with you today would inspire you to help spread the love of healing crystals with your community.
If you or a friend has a story of how crystals have helped you changed your lives for the better, please share it with me here by replying to this email.
I am going to send my friend a beautiful Amethyst crystal ring to thank her for this generous gift.
I am sure she put a lot of effort into making this.
Gonna keep it framed on my bedroom wall.
Jenny
]]>Hey crystal lovers,
Recently I came across another story of how crystals helped a fellow crystal lover to pull through an extremely tough time in her life.
~~~
When I was in the hospital dealing with my dad dying from cancer, I used a lot of crystals for healing and balancing.
The night before my dad passed away, I slept over in the hospital with my mom.
While I was there I put on chakra healing music and placed crystals all over my body.
Just seeing my dad so deathly ill was so toxic and draining. But the crystals made such a huge difference, I felt rejuvenated and alive.
~~~
As I read the full story, I could see myself tearing. Usually, I am no crybaby but whenever I hear how crystals are such a strong support in someone’s life, I feel so happy inside my wobbly heart.
I can’t imagine how much pain this person was going through but I am so glad that her crystals made her feel so much better in the hospital room.
Through this short yet emotional story, I want you to know that you are not alone.
If you are going through something very difficult in your life right now.
Your crystals are here for you. I am here for you.
I understand that life is not easy and sometimes it seems like all hope is lost. But it is not lost until we give up.
And you should never give up. Because you are blessed with so many crystal guardians in your life. And you have a beautiful community that shares the same passion for crystals as you do.
So thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and allowing me to come into yours.
We are still early in our spiritual journey together and I am sure we will still grow a lot more in understanding more about spirituality.
Time for me to start my daily meditation. Today, I am choosing to go with a non-guided meditation and only want to focus on the peaceful music for about twenty minutes.
Stay strong, Pretland warrior.
Jenny
P.S. In case you like to get some Lapis Lazuli crystals to absorb negativity from your body and help you to focus on becoming more positive and less stressed. Here are some crystals to help you manifest that faster.

Hi guys,
Lately, I have been talking to a close friend who seems to be struggling with depression and a lot of negativity.
On the outside, she seems like a very strong and independent woman.
But on the inside, she told me that she is suffering and hurting.
So I shared with her a “poem of encouragement.”
I thought I would share it with you as well because we can always use more encouragement in our lives.
Especially if you are feeling stressed or depressed lately.
Don’t bottle it up inside. Focus on releasing all that negativity so you can let more positivity come into your lives.
===
The inability to receive support from others is a trauma response.
Your “I don’t need anyone, I’ll just do it all myself” conditioning is a survival tactic.
And you needed it to shield your heart from abuse, neglect, betrayal, and disappointment from those who could not or would not be there for you.
From the parent who was absent and abandoned you by choice or the parent who was never home from working three jobs to feed and house you.
From the lovers who offered sexual intimacy but never offered a safe haven that honored your heart.
From the friendships and family who ALWAYS took more than they ever gave.
From all the situations when someone told you “we’re in this together” or “I got you” then abandoned you, leaving you to pick up the pieces when shit got real, leaving you to handle your part and their part, too.
From all the lies and all the betrayals.
You learned along the way that you just couldn’t really trust people. Or that you could trust people, but only up to a certain point.
Extreme-independence IS. A. TRUST. ISSUE.
You learned: if I don’t put myself in a situation where I rely on someone, I won’t be disappointed when they don’t show up for me, or when they drop the ball... because they will ALWAYS drop the ball EVENTUALLY right?
Extreme independence is a preemptive strike against heartbreak.
So, you don’t trust anyone.
You don’t trust yourself, either, to choose people.
To trust is to hope, to trust is to be vulnerable.
“Never again,” has been your vow?
No matter how you dress it up and display it proudly to make it seem like this level of independence is what you always wanted to be, in truth it’s your wounded, scarred, the broken heart behind a protective brick wall.
Impenetrable. Nothing gets in. No hurt gets in. But no love gets in either.
Fortresses and armor are for those in battle, or who believe the battle is coming. It’s a trauma response.
The good news is trauma that is acknowledged is trauma that can be healed.
You are worthy of having support.
You are worthy of having a true partnership.
You are worthy of love.
You are worthy of having your heart held.
You are worthy of being adored.
You are worthy of being cherished.
You are worthy of having someone say, “You rest. I got this.” And actually deliver on that promise.
You don’t have to bargain for it.
You don’t have to beg for it.
You are worthy.
Because you exist.
===
I hope that no matter what you are struggling with on the inside, you will be able to lean on someone else for love and support.
Because you are worthy and deserve all that love and support.
If you know a close friend or family member who needs to hear this, forward this poem of encouragement to them.
They will thank you for it.
Sending you lots of love and light.
Jenny
P.S. Also, if you like some crystals for dealing with depression or negativity, I have some crystals that will help you with that.

Hey lovely friends,
I am sure there are many mothers or grandmothers who have adorable children and grandchildren, but they may not know how to introduce crystals to them.
So here you go.
Crystals are great for kids!
Children are drawn to sparkling objects, and crystals beckon with magic.
Kids are also more open to the metaphysical healing the Universe has to offer. This combination makes them prime candidates for crystal healing lifestyles.
If your child does not mentally understand the power of energy healing, they will at least feel it.
They may not know why they are pulled towards certain stones, but just like their favorite teddy bear.
They will take comfort in the crystal's vibrations.
However, younger kids must always be supervised by an adult when wearing or playing with gemstones.
Just like adults, kids suffer from mental, spiritual, and physical stress.
Stress for kids can be in the form of school homework, peer pressure, anxiety, fear, and the general feeling of tiredness due to a lack of sleep.
Kids should learn how to relieve stress and negativity in a positive way.
Start them on the crystal healing path and watch as they thrive into a healthy future.
Also start their spiritual journey just like you did many crystal ages ago.
Therefore, we have the Pretland Beginner Crystal Kit that has crystals such as Amethyst, Rose Quartz and more to give them the love they need.
And help them calm their worries when they forget to do their homework.
I am thinking of getting this kit for my daughters as well. I am sure they will love them.
This is so exciting, and I am so lucky to be able to be the one that introduces them into the world of crystals!
Can’t wait to see the look on their faces when they get their kits.

]]>Hi crystal lovers,
Here are three popular crystals that crystal lovers recommend to put in your car for protection and safety.
Did you know Turquoise is a purification crystal?
It dispels negative energy and can be worn to protect against outside influences or pollutants in the atmosphere. (especially with all the viruses that are emerging around the world…)
It is also said to purify lungs, soothes and clears sore throats so wear it with confidence and protection because it will not only protect your physical body but spiritual being as well.
I wear the Turquoise necklace above as it helps to balance and align all the chakras, stabilising mood swings and instilling inner calm in myself.
Malachite is an important protection crystal.
It absorbs negative energies and pollutants, picking them up from the atmosphere and the body. (So you can keep all the bad viruses away!)
But more importantly, it releases negative experiences and old traumas. (For those who are afraid of flying due to bad experiences)
So don’t be afraid and trust in your Malachite crystal.
Ok, this is a tough fight between two crystals…
Many voted for Rose Quartz because it dispels negativity.
And protects against environmental pollution, replacing it with loving vibes.
So you will be able to love yourself and have confidence when traveling.
But many voted for Tiger’s Eye as well because it will give you the confidence and strength of a Tiger!
More importantly, it is said to be a crystal of protection and brings good luck to the wearer.
And who doesn’t want more good luck right?
So now, you may ask.
“So Jenny, how do I know which crystal works the best for me?”
Well, all I can say is to keep trying on different crystals when driving.
And see which crystal allows you to feel the most energy.
Give time to each crystal to speak and connect with you.
Only time will tell.
For me so far, it has got to be Rose Quartz.
I always feel so happy and protected when I wear it.
As though I am surrounded by the aura of my guardian angels. It feels wonderful!
Lastly, you can also chant prayers like “Protect Me, My Passengers and All Who Pass By With a Steady Hand and A Watchful Eye." Envision white light around the car.”
These positive affirmations will help you to ease your anxiety while driving. For myself, I also have my own prayer and do it whenever I do not feel good on the road.
Hope these crystals will keep you safe while driving on the road.
Remember to never drink and drive, always keep your eyes on the road and do not use your mobile devices while driving.
Take care and stay safe.

]]>Especially in our modern world, academic success is very important in life. It is not only important for the people who want to pursue an academic career, but also for the people who want to have a job with a good salary and fringe benefits after graduation. There are several factors which are effective on academic success. Motivation, self-confidence, emotional balance, and commitment are the most important factors for academic success. In this article, you will find out the positive effects of some crystals on your academic success.
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli may help you to achieve academic success by working with the throat chakra. Lapis Lazuli is known as the crystal of wisdom and self-awareness. If you get help from Lapis Lazuli, you will always remember you need to become successful, and you will feel motivated. You will not be easily affected by some external factors.
Clear Quartz
Clear quartz is very effective on academic success because it evokes all seven chakras in your body. Thus, you will have a more balanced and clearer mentality which makes you more successful in the university. We advise you to have a quartz with you while studying to feel the positive effects of clear quartz in the best way.
Amethyst
Amethyst is the perfect crystal for you if you suffer from extreme stress. Extreme stress is the most powerful enemy of you in the way of academic success. Let’s say you studied hard for an exam for a long time and you have all the necessary information for a good grade. However, if you feel yourself under extreme stress in the exam, you cannot be successful. If you experience that kind of situation, we advise you to give amethyst a chance.
Sodalite
Sodalite would be also a good choice if you want to get help from crystals to achieve academic success. If you have difficulties in focusing, sodalite may help you. This crystal also works with throat chakra and opens your third eye. Therefore, you can focus on your projects or HomeWorks better.
Rose Quartz
In order to achieve academic success, you must love yourself and have self-respect. A person who does not have self-respect could not achieve academic success or any kind of success in their life because you cannot believe in yourself if you do not love yourself. Rose quartz is known for its healing effects against traumatic experiences. The best way to use rose quartz is to place it near your heart or keep it in your hand while meditating.
Citrine
In order to become successful in your academic life, you may need to make bold decisions sometimes. For example, maybe your faculty or department is not the right one for you, and you need to start a new adventure. However, it is not an easy decision to leave your current education and start a new academic department. Citrine can give you courage that you need by working with your solar plexus.
Honey Calcite
Honey Calcite is another crystal that we recommend to people who want to achieve academic success. As you know, one of the most important factors for academic success is self-confidence. The first step of being successful is to believe in your success. Honey calcite offers you this belief by evoking your solar plexus chakra. If you want to get help from honey calcite to achieve academic success, you can wear it as a jewelry or keep it with you while meditating.
As you can see, crystals may help you in your way towards academic success. Crystals can offer you courage, focus, self-esteem, or self-awareness you need for a successful academic life. You will not regret it if you give them a chance!
]]>Do you always have intrusive thoughts that occupy your mind? First of all, we need to state that all people can have intrusive thoughts from time to time. However, if you have intrusive thoughts of guilt, shame, or anger frequently, perhaps you suffer from obsession. Dealing with obsession could be a long and difficult process, but some natural crystals can offer you a holistic treatment against obsession. In this article, you will find the best crystals that you can get help in your struggle against obsession.
Orange & Brown Jasper
Both orange & brown jasper can be helpful against obsession. These stones can bring balance and stability to your mind and your soul. In this way you can be freed from intrusive thoughts.

Sodalite
Sodalite is one of the most powerful crystals, and it opens the third eye. You can reach deep meditation if you wear sodalite as jewelry. Once you reach deep meditation you can understand the reasons behind your intrusive thoughts.
Snowflake Obsidian
Obsidian is not exactly a “crystal”. It is actually a form of natural glass which was created as a result of rapid cooling down of lava. This volcanic gemstone is really powerful. Snowflake obsidian takes its name from its white patched pattern. If you want to use snowflake obsidian against obsession, you should place it on the sacral chakra. Sacral chakra is located beneath your belly button. By balancing your soul and your mind, snowflake obsidian helps you to get rid of obsessive thoughts.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine is a beautiful stone, and because of its unmatched beauty, people often wear it as jewelry. As you can guess, stress and obsession are correlated issues, and you should be a less stressful person to avoid intrusive thoughts. Aquamarine is known for its positive effects on stress. If you choose to wear aquamarine as a jewelry, you would find out that you can manage stress better, and you have less intrusive thoughts.
Chrysocolla
Chrysocolla can be found in blue or turquoise color. The most significant feature of this beautiful crystal is to bring tranquility to the mind of people. If you place this gemstone in your home, it will absorb the negative energy in your home, and intrusive thoughts in your mind. Then, you will start to feel more confident, and you will not have intrusive thoughts anymore.
Moonstone
Moonstone is another powerful stone that you can use against intrusive thoughts. Intrusive thoughts are generally results of disturbed mood. If you have moonstone with you during the day, it will calm your emotions. In time, you will realize that you do not have intrusive thoughts anymore. If you give time to moonstone, the results will be perfect for you at the end of the day.
Kunzite
As you can understand from the crystals we mentioned above, tranquility and calmness are really important to get rid of intrusive thoughts. Kunzite is another crystal which offers you tranquility. It is also a meditative crystal-like jasper & sodalite, and it opens your heart chakra. Heart chakra will replace intrusive thoughts in your mind and replace them with positive thoughts and emotions which make you a calmed and positive person.
As a result, we can say that intrusive thoughts could be a serious problem in your daily life especially if they reach a level of obsession. At this point, we recommend you give a chance to some crystals. They can be a natural & powerful remedy against obsession.

If we need to define jealousy in short, we can say that it is the feeling of envying someone for his/her success in life or some characteristics. It could be also defined as a constant feeling of suspicion of betrayal in a romantic relationship. Although it is one of the deadly sins and considered as a negative characteristic in society. However, it is hard to overcome jealousy. Especially in some certain situations, jealousy can easily burst in our soul. If you think that jealousy affects you negatively in your daily life, you may get help from some crystals.
Green Gems Against Jealousy
Green crystals are known for their effectiveness against jealousy. Especially light green gems would really help you in overcoming jealousy. Green gems would support your spiritual growth and bring you inner peace. Thanks to green crystals, you can easily focus on your own goals instead of envying the success of other people. Moreover, you can also trust your partner in your relationships.
Green Apatite
Green Apatite is the stone of dual action. It can help you to overcome jealousy by making you focus on your goals. Thanks to the positive effects of green apatite on your mind and soul, you will start to feel more energetic again, and your soul will be purified from jealousy. When you can focus on your own life, you will become more successful, and you will not need to envy the success stories of other people. Because the peace of your inner soul would awaken, you will start to feel more confident in your romantic relationship, and you can start to trust your partner.
Green Aventurine
Green aventurine is another crystal which is effective against jealousy. Like green apatite, it brings you inner peace, and you can focus on your life. You can look forward again for new opportunities and new successes in life. Green aventurine also supports your creativity, and you can make bold decisions more easily than before. Because it brings inner peace to you, you will not experience sudden anger against little problems in your life. When you focus on your own life the envy would be removed from your soul completely.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine would be also effective against jealousy with its energizing effects. If you wear aquamarine as jewelry, you can feel more energetic, and it can also enhance your self-awareness. When you feel more energetic, reaching your goals would be easier for you, and you do not feel jealous for success of other people because you can feel yourself successful.
Evil Eye
Evil eye is known for its effectiveness against jealousy. However, it works differently from crystals that we mentioned above. The purpose of evil eye is not to remove the jealousy you have against other people, instead it protects you from the jealous look of other people. In the Eastern cultures, the evil eye has been used against jealous looks for centuries. It is believed that, when someone looks at you in a jealous way, his/hers looks can affect you in a negative way, and it can bring bad luck to you. If you wear an evil eye as an accessory, it can reflect back the jealous looks, and protects you from misfortune. It is also believed that the evil eye brings success and love to its owner. If you think that some people are jealous of you, and it affects you negatively, you may wear an evil eye as a protector.
As a result, jealousy is definitely a negative emotion and we should overcome jealousy to be more successful in our work, and to have a more positive attitude towards our partner in a romantic relationship. Moreover, you should also protect yourself from jealous looks of other people if it affects your soul and mind negatively. To overcome all kinds of jealousy crystals may help you in your life. When you try crystals that we mentioned above, you would see they work effectively against jealousy.]]>
Hi fellas,
It has been a while since my last book review.
Today, I like to speak to you or others you know that may be going through some existential crisis in their lives.
For anyone who feels they are not happy, or they think there is no meaning in life or people who think they are leading a meaningless life.
The book is called “The Applause of Heaven” by Max Lucado.
Even though I am not a Christian, I have read the Bible and feel that we can learn many lessons from it and other related books.
The main idea in the book is about how to live a peaceful and contented life.
And it is explained to the reader through the message that was given by Jesus Christ, standing on the mountain.
We come into this world and go through its process and do not stop for even a second and understand and analyze the things we do.
There was a time in my life where I was living my life without thinking about the essential questions that we all must ask ourselves.
What is our purpose? Why are we here in this world?
There must be more than just going to school and getting a job and getting married and then leave this universe.
We nonchalantly go through the phases of life without any deep understanding of our real purpose.
After I found my purpose and mission to serve the crystal community.
And help bring those who are spiritually broken and lost into our community.
I felt so full on the inside.
The book says that we have the responsibility to help the poor and destitute.
Those of us who are privileged should always strive to help the help who are not given the blessings that are bestowed upon us.
If we close the doors on the poor, then there will come the point when we will be in that situation.
After reading the book, it fills me with empathy and compassion for everyone around me.
We would be able to understand someone if we put ourselves in some else’s shoes.
After all, we humans are naturally wired to gain pleasure when we help others in need and transform their lives.
Perhaps this was all planned by our creator, and this would indirectly lead to the progress of our world.
If you are currently unhappy or find no meaning in your life, I encourage you to read this book because there is meaning in your life.
You just have to find it.
Don't give up, keep searching.
And while you find it, your crystals are here to support you and care for you.
Time for me to go and pick out another book from my crystal bookshelf.
Jenny
P.S. If you found this book review useful, I would love to know your thoughts on it.
Also, if you have any book recommendations, please leave a comment because I am always looking for more books to read and recommend to the Pretland family.
]]>Hey Pretland Family,
Many of you have been asking me how I exactly left my previous job in the dust and transition to running a full-time business now.
It will take too long to explain all the steps so I decided to use a book that will help me to explain this more succinctly.
*WARNING: If you do not want to read long posts, I suggest going straight to the Lessons below. *
For those who are into reading personal development books (or on financial freedom), you may have come across this book before.
It is called the “Four Hour Workweek” by Tim Ferriss.
And if I were to summarize the book in one sentence, it would be this.
The 4-Hour Workweek is the step-by-step blueprint to free yourself from the shackles of a corporate job, create a business to fund the lifestyle of your dreams, and live life like a millionaire, without having to be one.
Sounds amazing right?
Well, you can do it too! (Over time, of course)
This book is Tim’s documentation of how he removed himself from his own company, to do what he loves: learn and travel.
Sounds a bit like my story, right? Haha.
This book helped me a lot. It gave me the steps and courage I needed to leave my job of 10 years and dive into something completely new to me.
But this post is not about me, it is about you.
Because I understand you may be stressed at work.
You may be sick of hearing your boss nagging at you.
You may be sick of being shackled to your job for so many years.
Doing something you do not like every day.
And it drives you crazy.
So, Jenny (Tim Ferriss) has come to save the day.
Because as a member of our Pretland family, we do not believe in leading unhappy lives.
We want our lives to be the best version of themselves.
We want to lead a happier and healthier life.
(For those who are too lazy or busy to read the entire book) Here are the three important lessons from the book that you can start applying in your life right now.
Lesson 1: Be effective, not efficient.
If Tim’s life (or my life) were designed around one rule, it would be the 80/20 rule or Pareto’s principle.
Most people measure productivity by the time spent working, but that is a bad indicator because we waste so much time at work.
Tim suggests spending your time on the 20% of things that get you 80% of the results, and not vice versa.
Instead of focusing on doing as much as you can as best as you can, focus on doing the few things that will lead to the biggest progress.
This is something you can adopt today that will make every single day of your life from here on out better and easier.
I have been doing this ever since I started Pretland, (and trust me) it works.
For example, if you are working in a field where you are paid based on results and commissions (insurance agent or property agent), focus on clients that bring you the biggest commissions.
Look through the list of clients and zoom in on the 20% of clients that bring in 80% of your total commissions.
It will be an eye-opener for you.
Lesson 2: Always validate your business ideas.
Before you go out and build any product or service, make sure people give you money for it.
Will your idea for kitten socks be a hit? I do not know, so go ask people to buy from you!
This is more of a comfort zone challenge than anything else, and it is scary – which is a good indicator that it’s important.
For example, from my own experience, I started Pretland 6 months before I quit my marketing job.
Before I stockpiled on my crystal products, I built a website first and Instagram page to see if people were interested in buying my crystals (or crystals in general).
And sure enough, it was a hit!
Over time, more and more people were asking me for my crystals, and I knew at that point, my dream of opening up my crystal store was going to be a reality!
And what an incredible journey it was, to the point where we have over 10,000 members in our post viewers today. (and even more customers!)
So, before you start stockpiling on kitten socks (or your product), focus on asking your target customer to see if they are interested in buying your product first.
Lesson 3: Charge a premium to need fewer clients and make your life easier.
Imagine you want to make $4,000/month and are selling a nutritional supplement.
If you charge $10 per bottle, you need to generate 400 sales per month.
If you charge $40 per bottle, you only must make 100 sales.
The hardest part of making a sale is moving people from not giving you money to giving you money.
The amount of money is very negotiable once they have decided to purchase from you.
It is easier to find 100 people who are willing to give you 4x the money much faster than you are finding an extra 300 people to buy from you in the first place.
That is the first reason you should shoot for high quality and charge a premium.
The second reason is that the people that are willing to pay a premium are low-hassle clients.
You will get a lot fewer complaints, returns, and angry phone calls.
Even if they do not like it, chances are they won’t bother returning it, because they don’t have to turn every cent twice before spending it.
So, promise a high quality and deliver.
And that concludes the three lessons from the 4 Hour Workweek.
I hope you learned something important from this and start applying them in your lives starting today. (Especially Lesson 1)
I understand the idea of starting a business may seem completely crazy and irrelevant to you now, but you never know.
Everybody has a passion for something (photography, kittens, or crystals) and every product/service has a market for it.
So, consider this down the road or now. (Especially if you know you are not going to continue working the same job for the next 10-20 years)
If you have any problem, please leave a comment and discuss with us!
I will always be here to support you.
Your crystals will always support you as well.
Wishing you love and light.
Jenny
]]>Hi guys,
Today I am back with a book review.
Have you ever wondered how to improve your relationship with your spouse or anyone else?
I sure did and then I stumbled upon a great book to help me with this issue.
Being a bookworm, I dived right into this book, “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” by John Gray.
The book says that most couples tend to argue because they fail to identify the key differences between men and women. (I am guilty of this as well)
If you ever reach a point in your marriage where you are tired of dealing with the same problem over and over again, it is TOTALLY normal.
This is because men and women think differently. They have distinct emotional needs and communication preferences.
Once you know how you and your partner differ, you’ll see each other from a new perspective and understand each other better.
This knowledge will improve your relationship.
And resolve many of the struggles that arise from misunderstandings.
Moving on, here are the three lessons from the book to improve your relationships.
1. Women want men to listen to them while men desire solutions to problems.
Imagine a scenario where you and your partner came back home from a long day at work.
As both of you sit down for dinner, you start to talk to your husband about how your boss is making you work too much.
While your husband, because he is wired differently to solve problems, starts offering solutions.
Have you been in this situation before? And did it upset you because you only needed him to listen to you to make you feel better?
On the other hand, your husband only talks to you when he wants to hear a solution from you but you feel upset.
Because he does not talk about what is bothering him as you do from time to time.
Both parties try to fulfill each other’s needs the wrong way, so they end up fighting.
To solve this issue, the husband can listen to the wife without offering solutions unless she asks for help.
You can let your husband process his emotions by himself when he needs to.
2. Women need to feel loved, whereas men like the sense that they are useful.
As a woman, you can show men that you trust them and let them help when they want to, so they’ll feel useful.
As a man, you can repeatedly show women how much you love them to make them feel fulfilled.
Do you recall a situation that happened to yourself or a friend where the man in the household is trying to fix a light bulb or some DIY issue at home?
But then you try to get help and he gets annoyed?
This is because men wants to prove that they are useful and capable of handling the problem themselves.
Until they acknowledge the issue and ask for help.
When women do simple household chores at home or cook for the family.
They just want some appreciation and love from everyone else, including their husbands.
For example, whenever I have the time to cook for my family, I feel so happy as long as they enjoy the food and appreciate the effort I put into my cooking.
3. Men and women may use similar words but mean different things.
Now, this is the one I am sure you are very familiar with.
Have you ever been in a situation where you use the same word as your husband but both of you interpret it differently?
In the past, when I noticed my husband, Shawn, being very stressed at work, I would ask him if everything is alright at work. He would say everything would be fine but it seemed that was a lie.
So that made me worried about him because he did not want to tell me about it.
But I failed to realize that what he meant was that he was going to deal with the problem himself.
Because it was not a big deal and did not want to worry me.
Regardless of the problems you and your partner face in marriage, I strongly encourage both of you to take the time to read this book.
Because when you understand the key differences between how men and women think, it will go a long way in improving your relationships.
We live in a world today where divorce rates are so high because couples do not make time to understand each other.
Because they are busy with other things like work.
But it is simply not worth it. Don’t wait until the marriage has hit rock bottom and then you start trying to find a solution to fix it.
After all, as the saying goes, prevention is better than cure.
Jenny
P.S. If you found this book review useful, I would love to know your thoughts on it.
Also, if you have any book recommendations, please leave a comment because I am always looking for more books to read and recommend to the Pretland family.
]]>Hi fellas,
Are you a tea or coffee person?
For me, I used to be a coffee person and always would drink a cup of coffee per day. (espresso)
Because I wanted the energy boost when I work in the morning.
But I eventually switched to tea, particularly green tea.
When I went to Japan about five years ago, a local introduced me to this drink for the first time.
Did you know that green tea is one of the healthiest beverages on the planet?
Other than that, it is also surprisingly delicious!
It’s loaded with antioxidants that have many health benefits which I will list below.
1. Contains healthy bioactive compounds that fight cancer and other diseases
Green tea is rich in polyphenols, which are natural compounds that have health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and helping to fight cancer.
2. May improve brain function
Green tea does more than keep you alert, it may also help boost brain function.
The key active ingredient is caffeine, which is a known stimulant.
It doesn’t contain as much as coffee, but enough to produce a response without causing the jittery effects associated with taking in too much caffeine.
Many people report having more stable energy and being much more productive when they drink green tea, compared with coffee. (and that is why I switched over)
3. Increases fat burning
Now this is for you if you are trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
Today, we are living in a society where fast food is rampant and many do not take care of their diets.
People want convenience and tasty treats, so they sacrifice their health instead. That is the wrong move because it will be very bad for you in the long term.
This is why green tea is great because it can increase fat burning and boost metabolic rate.
One study involving 10 healthy men taking green tea extract increased the number of calories burned by 4%. In another involving 12 healthy men, green tea extract increased fat oxidation by 17%, compared with those taking a placebo.
Of course, there are many more benefits of green tea that are not listed here but you can see why I love drinking green tea now.
And you should too :)
But do you know what is as important as taking care of our body?
It’s taking care of our minds.
In the world we live in today, there are so many conflicts happening at the same time in our lives and others.
This can place a huge toll on our mental health as we struggle to cope with the stress and anxiety that comes with it.
This is why I always recommend meditation, practicing relaxation breathing exercises and staying connected with your crystals.
So that they can absorb the negativity from you and give you positive energy instead.
Time to prepare my green tea for the day and meditate with my crystals later on in the evening.
Today’s a great day to stay healthy.
Jenny
P.S. In case you like to get some crystals to absorb negativity from your body and help you to focus on becoming more positive and less stressed. Here are some crystals to help you manifest that faster.
Black Tourmaline is one of my favorite protection crystals. It not only removes negative energy, but changes it to positive energy. It has an excellent effect on your well being . It is a strong grounding stone , protects from psychic attack, and negative entities.
Amethyst is no doubt, one of my favorite crystals in general. They are perfect for almost every situation. From helping you to meditate better, sleep better and even soothing your emotional stress.
Lapis Lazuli is another beautiful blue crystal to ward off negative energy.
As a protection stone, Lapis Lazuli protects from psychic and physical attacks.
It can be used in protection grids, worn, or carried to bring these protection energies.
It can also be used for protection of an environment when placed in the four corners of a room.

Yesterday, I was scrolling through the world of Facebook again.
And this picture came up on my feed.
*WARNING, PLEASE SCROLL PAST IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF SNAKES*
Now, I have never seen a pink snake.
And have never seen a pink snake in love with crystals!
I wonder if it is because they are of the same color.
Who knows?
Life works in mysterious ways.
Anyway, this came from the owner of the snake, he sounds like a great person to be with.
===
Just wanted to share this with you guys, the snake, Venus De Milo is a 2-month-old baby Ball Python: Banana Sterling Yellowbelly Morph.
Morphs are snakes (usually Ball Pythons) that are bred to you have unique patterns and colors that are not found in nature.
Unlike dogs and cats, a Ball Pythons health, personality, size, and shape are not determined.
Snakes are very magical creatures and they only cause fear or disgust because of ignorance (I will delete any snake hate posts, if you think they are icky than please keep scrolling)
I have two females the other is older and is not a morph just a traditional Ball Python, her name is Medusa, she has a large quartz point and a fluorite obelisk in her tank, it’s cool.
The snakes are clearly attracted to crystals.
I intend to train both to be my Familiars.
If you guys could do me a favor, please wish both snakes long healthy happy lives
===
Talk about magical!
Now we know more about snakes.
And yes, I wish them long healthy happy lives too :)
For those who have no idea what is a Familiar, it is a spirit animal that is supposed to guide you in your life.
Anyway, if you would like to get some crystals for your pet snake or dragon, you can do so below.
But I still think these crystal jewelries would look better on you.
Time for me to get my pets a 7-chakra crystal necklace.
I hope they like it.

There are several articles on the internet about morning routines and ways to have a productive day. Although those content have lots of beneficial suggestions, it is well known that there is no perfect routine or suggestion for everyone. Thus, everyone needs to prefer the habits which are good for them. The best way for this is to apply the easiest method and routinize them. Especially, having a good routine is really important to get over these days which are full of uncertainties, with less mental and physical fatigue. Moreover, many of us spend most of their time, at home. Therefore, some good habits and routines may be lost.
Considering all of these factors, in this article, we gathered some ideas together which could help you to form good habits, and have the most proper, mourning routines. Remember that! Only you know the perfect routine for you!
Waking up early gives you the opportunity to plan the works you need to and to arrange more things. However, you may be not a morning person. If this is the situation, please do not taboo wake up in the early morning. Many successful people prefer working at night because they can work in a more productive way.
If you need to wake up early, of course, this changes everything. You need to wake up early for an early breakfast, meditation, exercising or for the activity you prefer. Now, let us talk about what you can add to your routine.
Do not check your phone right after waking up. It is believed that, checking your phone right after waking up decreases productivity. While checking e-mails, messages etc. we use an important part of our capacity before specifying our priorities. The best way to avoid that is to wait for at least for 30 minutes after waking up to be online. In the meantime, reading book could be helpful to open your mind. It is also a beneficial activity. Brilliant!
Lack of concentration, not being able to focus on the moment are very common problems today. There are some researches show that some activities such as yoga, exercise could have a role in the solution of these problems. Moreover, it is a well-known fact that the brain works better in the first hours of the day. Thus, adding a physical activity such as exercising or a mental activity such as meditation could increase your productivity. Do not forget to choose the natural stone while meditating which is proper for the energy you desire!
Find the best recipe for your health. Many people skip breakfast to gain time. However, it is good the keep in mind that, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You can prepare nutritional and delicious meals with simple smoothie recipes. In addition, do not forget to drink water right after waking up. It would be good for your body!
Very simple routine which is applied in a strict way in high-disciplined institutions is to tidy up the bed. You can see this as the first duty of the day. Several researches think that, having this routine improves productivity. Completing the first duty of the day would help you in other works of the day.
The first thing comes to mind to start the day spryly is a cold shower! Some researches shows that, taking a cold shower improves the power of will. You can combine them with the breathing exercises known as Wim Hof Method. It is also said that; This method is helpful for reducing the stress and improving the performance.
You should take notes in morning. For example, you can keep a diary of dreams. Moreover, you can use this notepad to plan your day. One of the best ways of being productive; is to write down works or thoughts on our mind. Buy a little notepad for you and write down the agenda of the day in the morning. Do not forget to have it with you all day long. In this way, you won’t miss out anything. If the notepad idea sounds outdated, there are lots of productivity apps, you can use one of them.
Researches show that natural stones give energy to the human body. The energy in natural stones helps the process of sending different types of signals to human brain. Because each kind of stone has different type of energy, you should choose the stones which eliminate fatigue weakness. In this way, it would become possible to feel energetic and waking in a positive mood.
If we need to classify stones by their energies;
Peace: Selenite
Joy: Citrine or Ocean Jasper
Intuition: Amethyst
Confidence: Aragonite Star Cluster
Money and Ambition: Pyrite
Love vibes: Rhodonite and Garnet
Protection: Black Tourmaline
Focus: Fluorite
Loving kindness: Cobalt and Mangano Calcite
Divine inspiration and creativity: Moonstone and Citrine
Abundance Consciousness: Green Garnet or Green Aventurine
P.S. Leave a comment below and let us know how you start the day.
]]>Aromatherapy or essential oil treatment involves several types of traditional, alternative or after treatment which essential oils and other aromatic components are used. People have been using essential oils for almost 6.000 years to heal the mood and physical health of human beings. National Association of Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA) defines aromatherapy as ‘’therapeutic and medical use of aromatic components to restore to health”.
Essential oils have different antiviral, antifungal and antioxidant effects. Some diseases such as, body and muscle aches, anxiety, stress, depression, fatigue, insomnia, headache, menstruation problems, menopause problems, hair loss and some types of psora could be relieved by aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy applications involve topical medications and aspiration.
Aspiration: Essential oils are evaporated into air via an aerosol can or chylomicrons. The person who gets the therapy smells the aroma of the essential oils. When odorant molecules reach the brain, senses, heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress, and limbic system are affected. In that way, a holistic effect on the body occurs.
Topical Medication: Massage oils, skincare products etc. are used in topical medication processes. The goal is to make the skin absorb the essential oils in the products. Essential oils should not be applied on the skin directly. Before the application, they must be diluted by using olive oil or almond oil.
