I love pushing myself outside of my comfort zone, especially when it comes to energy protection. I mean, I write and teach about it, so I have to stay up-to-date and in top form! 

So, when I was invited to teach a workshop in New York, I knew it would be a great opportunity for me to both test and uplevel my energy protection practices. While I’ve lived in big cities like London and Madrid before, nothing can prepare you for the urban jungle that is New York City. 

As expected, as soon as I stepped out of the train station and onto 42nd Street, I had a panic attack! Car horns, skyscrapers, busy streets, and people walking in every imaginable direction—it was all too much. I hurriedly rushed back to the station, took a deep breath, and knew I needed a plan. 

I remembered that I had bought a new crystal bracelet the day before. It was a garnet bracelet, and I was surprised to be drawn to it, as I had never worked with that crystal before. I could sense its stable, protective energy and decided to create a protective crystal shield with it. (I teach about crystal shields in my book Protect Your Light). 

Taking the crystal out of the velvet pouch I had carefully stored in my backpack, I put it around my wrist, closed my eyes, and followed the process of casting a crystal shield around my aura. I instantly felt my anxiety subside, and a newfound sense of ease and safety washed over me. I took another deep breath, straightened my shoulders, and walked back out into the city. 

Had it not been for that garnet bracelet, I don’t know how I would have handled three weeks in the chaotic streets of NYC. This experience once again reminded me of the healing and transformative power of crystals, and it rekindled my adoration for them.
