Anxiety is something that we all may suffer from time to time. Sometimes it comes during social situations, during a job interview, during a meeting or whenever we feel like we are putting ourselves out there. Personally my major “eeek” moment is when I’m selling my jewelry in person. I don’t know why, but since I love my pieces so much, I want the person to love them as much as I do. I feel my temperature start rising, my face getting red, my heart beating fast, butterflies in my stomach…yeah, it’s an event every time. For me, having a crystal in my pocket (or in my bra) or wearing a certain piece of jewelry with a specific crystal, helps me, a lot. I feel like it keeps me leveled and reduces my anxiety. I feel like I must say, if you suffer from chronic anxiety, consult a health care professional. Severe anxiety should not be taken lightly. Crystals should be used to complement therapy, not as a substitute for professional help.
My favorite to have on me is Pyrite , also known as Fool’s Gold. It’s a positive stone that helps remove any negative feelings about one’s self. Pyrite helps build confidence and relive any anxiety we may feel. On a personal note; I recently purchase a Pyrite cluster from local shop in Quito, Ecuador. He believed that placing Pyrite where one puts their money (wallet, your safe or your secret hiding spot), will help in increasing your wealth. Of course, I quickly placed on in my wallet and has been there ever since. I have to say, it’s working for me so far. Give it a try, it’s a win win.
If you ever watch that 24 hour jewelry selling channel, you will see one of the stones they use a lot in their piecesis Kunzite. Who knew Kunzite helps with easing stress and anxiety. This stone also helps in becoming receptive to loving energy. Kunzite exudes a serene energy that relaxes us and helps open up to Divine Love. Kunzite helps the heart chakra and aid in aligning it with the third eye and the throat chakra.
Lithium Quartz is another one. Lithium occurs in Quartz with inclusions of lavender or pinkish gray material. The included material is a lithium bearing. Wonderful stone for the heart chakra and the third eye, but can be beneficial to all your chakras. It brings forth a feeling of inner piece and stress release. This is a very powerful crystal to mediate with. It’s gentle enough for those starting out, but will help go into a very deep meditative state.
Others stones to try:
- Pink Tourmaline
- Blue Chalcedony
- Rose Quartz
- Blue Calcite
- Cerussite
Hope t his helps some. Until next time.
Love and Light,
