Yes, the 6 of Metal is a crystal. That's because crystals are formed, in part, by the extreme pressures of the earth, just as metals are. So, like metal, it is an extreme refinement of earth and particularly suitable to represent the number 6 which represents balance and harmony and the nest that humanity has to offer.

Today's message is a reminder that, if you do not take good care of yourself, you can hardly expect anyone else to take good care of you. Everything in the world starts at home and home is you. And care isn't just getting enough sleep and eating the right foods for you, (and please not that I say for you, because the same foods don't work the same magic for everyone). Care is knowing yourself well enough to know what makes you happy and feel content and then seeing to it that you have those things. And I'm talking about the simplicities of life, here. not the acquisition of material goods. I'm talking about knowing that your body is happier if it gets a walk every day, or if you function better if you interact with people in person rather than on the phone.

The simple, everyday actions of life are the building blocks of personal success.
