You've heard of spring cleaning your house — but what about your mind?

After you’ve cleared out your closet, it’s time to clear out any negative energy that might have you feeling stagnant. @amarylliscrystalportal is your one-stop shop for crystals and singing bowls, but you’ll want to experience their deeply meditative and healing Sound Infusion classes.

Each class is designed to create a peaceful and impactful environment for you to experience a truly transformative sound bath. Singing bowls are used to tune and realign your chakras while releasing energetic blockages that may be preventing you from reaching your full potential.

Do you have any spring rituals to welcome the changing season?
