itting down at his desk, an array of crystals in his palm, junior Siddhant Amberkar dreads his upcoming math test. Amberkar believes the crystals aren’t magic, but that they essentially magnify the energy you place into your life. “You cannot carelessly ask for [what you want], it has to be a conscious effort and then it’s reciprocated,” Amberkar said.
“[Crystals] amplify the energy you put in. You put in what you [want to] get out, it’s not like a wish.” Everyone has different ways they cope with stress and different things they believe in. Whether it be crystals, manifesting, religion, astrology or your community, many people believe that somewhere to turn for guidance is fundamental to their wellness.
