Reddit reviews The Crystal Bible

For beginners I highly recommend 'The Crystal Bible'

http://www.amazon.com/The-Crystal-Bible-Judy-Hall/dp/1582972400

When you understand a bit more, or simply want some more in depth reading and information, then 'The Book of Stones' is an absolute must ~ this is my goto crystal book these days :)

• 1 you care about your family, i love you for that, not enough people do. and not enough people actually end up going for what they really want. Be very proud of yourself, you are winning at living life.
  
  
• 2 You are working towards your goal, just realize that, it's not holding on for another year and a half, it's in pursuit of the life you want, you are on track, and that is something most people can't say. The volunteering will have a massive effect on you, and teach you so much. You're going to be quite few giant steps ahead because of this. A year and a half before you can start the rest of your life? Enjoy it, because you have the rest of your life to live the rest of your life.
  
  
• 3 Honestly the thing that helped me the most was to do one thing each day that I didn't want to do, something i wanted to do, but didn't want to because either people would think i was stupid, or i was shy, or i was afraid. I'd do that one thing, and i would feel great after doing it. Maybe it was run around my yard naked (it was) but i did it, and it made me feel alive. 9 hours of boredom is 9 hours you can spend thinking of ways to better your life and your family. IT's 9 hours you can spend planning for your future, and daydreaming of it. It's 9 hours to watch people closely, because there are many out there who you will learn from, use that time to learn from them, learn what you don't like about them, learn about what you do like about them, watch how they are doing their life, and how you can apply their decisions, actions, to your own life. You will be able to learn a lot about what you don't want to ever become, and a lot of what you do want to become, and IT WILL help you in the future to take a good hard look at everyone, whats beyond the surface, and learn from it.

Here is a link to a book to start off with. Like I said, trust your intuition with books just as with anything else.

The video involves two psychics at different points in their career talking about energy, crystals, and other related subjects. I would suggest searching other discussion videos as they can be very enlightening. Safe journeys my friend.

I have the revised encyclopedia:

But it doesn't have a preview. Here is a preview of the older one:

and if you're at all into crystal grids, I have this one. It's great:

It's not clear if you are looking for crystals that will help support you in sharing the same space as this person, of if you are looking for general relationship advice. If you're looking towards crystals, Magnesite has a calming effect on emotions, helping you to handle emotional stress. Peridot might also be helpful as it will help to enhance your confidence without aggression and motivate growth. Smithsonite also helps aid in difficult relationships, it helps create harmony and diplomacy. All of these stones and descriptions came from The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall.

I would also think that any stone that promotes your own grounding would be helpful, hematite, black tourmaline, bloodstone, etc.

If you're looking more for relationship advice, I would suggest r/relationships.

I hope this was what you were looking for!
