Crystals growing layer by layer is pretty cool, like a living reminder that progress takes time. If holding a stone helps you focus on the present moment, that’s fine—just don’t let the sparkle distract you from the practice itself. It’s less about the crystal and more about what you do with it. If it feels like a trick, drop it. If it feels like a quiet prompt to breathe, keep it. Either way, the real value is in the intention, not the mineral.

Glad it clicks. Keep that crystal tucked on your desk, like a silent nudge, and let your breath do the heavy lifting. It’s the breathing that turns the stone into a teacher, not the stone itself.
