In this Activity, students will explore the energetic characteristics of crystals and how they can be used to heal both people and animals, particularly horses!  Students will also learn that crystals are unique stones which vibrate at a specific energetic frequency.  Each one is aligned with one or more of the 7 chakra fields: root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown.  Lastly, students will appreciate the MAGICAL powers of crystals and how they can be used to help heal chakras that are out of balance due to negative experiences and/or trauma.
