In Discover Your Crystal Family, Kathryn Hudson brings the reader into anchoring relationships with the Angels and Archangels in a new way: through crystal connection! Filled with exercises and protocols for self-healing and for helping others, Kathryn shares the clear connections we are meant to enjoy both with the Archangel realm and with our Mother Earth, expressed through Her crystals.

Yet another amazing book by Kathryn Hudson, Discover Your Crystal Family brings the truth of energy work into the physical, tangible world of stones and crystals. Kathryn shows the reader how to realize the deep interconnectedness of our own essence, crystals, and everything around us. This will bring us more in alignment with the wonder of life and the ultimate truth of nonduality. I highly recommend this book for anybody interested in spiritual self-development and for anyone who wants to have more insights into crystals as a whole.

Preface

L ooking back, I see that people have been giving me rocks my whole Life. From my sister Doreen giving me my first amethyst the day she left home to get married, to my godmother Patricia giving me a tigers-eye necklace at my First Holy Communion, to magical mystery folk handing me stones in rather unlikely places (on the streets of Rio, in a Bank on 42nd Street in New York City), to rings of engagement that came more or less to fruition, I can see now, with hindsight, that I have been surrounded by crystals my whole Life... especially at the important moments.

How about you? Got rocks?

Often, I laughingly invite students who say they have no stones to go back and check their homes or places of work to make sure of it. Sometimes, that intentional gaze helps us to see what maybe we hadnt seen before. A crystal vase here, a stone on a ring there, or a paperweight that came from God-knows-where (literally?)often, we are surrounded by stones and not even aware of it.

So, got rocks? If so, I would say that there is no such thing as coincidence!

If you are reading this book, you may already have crystals in your surroundings. If that is so, I would argue that it may well be because those crystals mean something; they have something to tell you, something to help you with, something to teach you, maybe.

And not just you, mind you; crystals have something to teach us!

Crystals are a communicative part of Planet Earth; at a time when so many of our human brothers and sisters seem to have forgotten our Mother Earth, is it surprising that crystals now have found their way to the fore? Or that She might be trying to tell us, to teach us, something?!

This book is dedicated to our home, our planet, our Mothership Earth, and as such, it is dedicated to all crystals as well as to all of us, for humanity is not separate from Earth (as some would like to believe) but rather, part of Earth.

Whether you have found this book by accident (no such thing!) or by clear intention, if you are reading this right now (with or without stones in your Life, to which you have or havent paid much attention until now), now is the perfect time, the ordained time, the only time, the timely moment!

Here, we find ourselves perfectly on time for an experience for which we are marvelously prepared: a rendezvous with crystals, if you will, and so, with the Earth... and ourselves. This is the time to allow crystals to help us to remember: to recall that, as humans, we are part of the crystal family and all physical expressions on the planet. It is time, then, to allow crystals to introduce us to our higher selves, perhaps, to allow our natural curiosity about the gifts that crystals offer to bring us into more conscious awareness of our own gifts. For that to happen, here is a key point to remember:

Crystals Are Not MagicYou Are!

Of themselves, crystals can do nothing for us: like Angels, they can support only our intention in accordance with our free will. (This regularly disappoints some mothers who come to see me, wondering if they can simply slip a stone into the bedroom of their teenagers/spouses, to change behaviors, for example. The answer is no.) That is not to say that crystals have no power; if that were so, this would be a short book indeed!

Rather, the power and array of support that crystals can bring to our path are linked to what we are willing to allowwhat we are willing to intentionally accept (so unless that family member is willing to work with amethyst to release their own undesirable behavior, sorry!).

That is not to say that we are not guided, even prodded, in our movement toward our crystal allies. As I mentioned, sometimes they arrive in advance, lying in wait for the moment when we are ready.

And when we are readywow! If you are reading this book, you are ready!

But dont take it from me. This book will bring you along step by step, and it is your Heart (that Inner GPS we can trust, literally, with our lives) that will know your readiness as you play with the chapters that follow.

Yes, I said play...

There is no burden being added here. Earth and her crystals are here to ease the burden of this Life, not add to it. Transformation supported by crystals can be magical, and the atmosphere, joyful.

So, dont forget to have fun!

Prologue

I t sounds like it should be a joke: An Angel walked into a crystal shop... , but that is more or less as I remember it.

If you have read any of my work, you may know the story about an Angel walking into a bank where I had been working to give me an amethyst (if not, it bears retelling later on). Though that was an unforgettable moment, it happened when I was still blithely ignorant of stones and their power; you could easily have called me a cynic. But that all shifted with my first direct experience of the power of crystals.
