Healing Crystals – Is their use ethical?

crystalsNikki Harper – Spiritually aware people have long known about and promoted the use of different crystals as healing tools and divination aids, and in these tumultuous times many of us turn to crystals in an attempt to heal ourselves and our planet.

Crystals, formed under pressure over millions of years, have an intimate connection with our earth; they beguile us with their beauty, they awe us with their history and they bathe us in their energy.

The Mysterious Mister Mifsud And Why No One Wants To Discuss Him

MifsudJonathan Turley – Joseph Mifsud: The name of the generally unknown character in the Russia investigation came up, over and over, in the long-awaited House committee hearings with former special counsel Robert Mueller.
