Crystals for Relaxation and Stress

Feeling overwhelmed or uncertain?

When I am anxious, I like to hold my crystals to help calm myself down. I tune into the energy of the crystals and vibrational frequencies to aid in balancing my energies and encouraging relaxation. Whether I am seeking emotional comfort, clarity, or protection from negativity, there is always a crystal to assist.

My favourite crystals for stress relief and relaxation are:

AMETHYST

Amethyst helps relieve stress, promotes spiritual growth, and purifies energy. It shields against negative energies, psychic attacks, and harmful environments. It removes negativity and invites positivity, aiding healing and breaking barriers. It also supports restful sleep and replaces negative feelings with uplifting ones.

CELESTITE

Celestite has calming energies that promote peace and tranquillity. It can help children and babies sleep better when placed in a bedroom. Ideal for meditation spaces, Celestite is believed to enhance angelic connections and encourage faith and confidence in the universe.

BLUE LACE AGATE

Blue Lace Agate is a therapeutic stone with soothing energy that promotes serenity. It can reduce irritation, tension, and stress, and help alleviate shyness by easing anxieties about criticism. It encourages open self-expression, brings peace, and benefits pets as well.

ANGELITE

Angelite is often associated with themes such as peace, healing, and connection. It is said that Angelite aids in spiritual communication, particularly with angels or higher beings, and can encourage calmness, compassion, and clarity in thoughts. Its colour is linked to symbolic meanings of tranquillity and serenity. Its calming energy is frequently utilized in practices like meditation, energy healing, or as part of one’s surroundings for a comforting atmosphere.

SELENITE

Selenite can quickly clear stagnant and negative energy. It has the unique ability to purify and align you with your greatest potential, improving your aura and vibration. Selenite can promote clarity and a deeper connection with the angelic realm. It can be used as a calming stone to achieve inner peace and reduce confusion. For physical healing, place it under your bed to align your spine and enhance restorative energies while you sleep.

BLUE KYANITE

Blue kyanite is known for its healing and balancing effects on the mind, body, and spirit. It aligns cells and energizes the core, boosting willpower and vision. This stone soothes mental restlessness, aligns chakras, and helps locate the spiritual center. Blue kyanite aids the throat and third eye chakras, allowing articulation of truth and overcoming fear. It opens psychic channels, facilitating higher insights and guidance. The crystal also supports lucid dreaming and astral travel, merging astral bodies with physical forms to access higher intuition and purpose.

LEPIDOLITE

Lepidolite is ideal for calming energies and balancing stress and anxiety. It enhances awareness of your current state and aids in spiritual journeying, providing access to past life experiences in the Akashic Record that may be affecting you now.

CLEAR QUARTZ

Clear Quartz, known as the “Master Healer,” amplifies energy and thoughts and enhances other crystals. It’s associated with clarity, focus, and purification, aiding mental clarity and concentration. In meditation and healing, it connects with all chakras and protects against negative energies, keeping your aura balanced.

SMOKY QUARTZ

Smoky quartz is excellent for grounding and protection during stressful times. It helps manage negative emotions such as stress, fear, jealousy, anger, and depression, promoting stability and tranquillity. Additionally, it aids in accepting the physical body and purifies it by eliminating toxins.

There are many types of crystals, but this will get you started.

How to cleanse your crystals:

Moonlight – Recharge your crystals by placing them outside or near a windowsill during a full moon. The energy of the moon is thought to rejuvenate them.
Sunlight – Expose your crystals to sunlight for several hours. Note that some stones, such as amethyst, rose quartz, and fluorite may fade over time with extended exposure.
Sound – Cleanse your crystals using sound vibrations from singing bowls, tuning forks, and bells.
Smoke Cleansing – Clear your crystals energetically by wafting the smoke from incense, sage, or Palo Santo over them.
Other Crystals – Utilize certain stones, such as clear quartz and selenite, which are believed to cleanse other crystals simply by being in proximity.
