Do you struggle with anxiety or panic attacks? Not only do crystals and minerals look mesmerizing, they can also help you wind down and make you feel calm. Keep reading to find out which ones are the best!
How do Crystals work?
For most people crystal healing sounds like woo-woo. But to understand the positive influence of stones and minerals, we need to expand our view on „aliveness“ and consciousness. Not only humans, animals and plants are living beings that carry a unique essence. Minerals are as well.
The way minerals were formed and the materials they are made of, perhaps the people they used to live with – all of this contributes to their unique essence, which can be thought of as a medicine. When interacting with crystals in any way, the Law of Entrainment applies. This means that two things that are together must align in frequency. It’s like communication – only on a non-physical level. This is how crystal healing works.
Disclaimer: A crystal can help you calm your anxiety, but it doesn’t cure the cause for it. If you are interested in treating the cause, consider trying therapy or therapeutic modalities.
The 7 Best Crystals for Calming Anxiety
1)-Lepidolite
Lepidolite is a very strong crystal for helping with anxiety. It is a lilac or rose-colored mineral that belongs to the group of Mica minerals. Interestingly, Lepidolite does amazing things for people struggling with panic attacks. Together with aquamarine and sodalite, they form an excellent combo to relieve panic attacks.
2)-Aquamarine
The beautiful light blue crystal is also known to help remedy anxiety. In general you will find many blue or rose colored crystals on this list, as those are the colors associated with calming effects. Aquamarine is a variety of beryl and luckily, it is quite affordable due to its abundance. Worn as a necklace around your neck it also has great effects on your throat.
3)-Sodalite
The next on the list is the beautiful blue-white spotted Sodalite. Not only does this stone does wonders for your throat, voice and ability to communicate clearly. It also helps with anxiety and panic attacks. The first Sodalite was found in Greenland 1811, however, many of the stones today are from Canada.
4)-Blue Lace Agate
In terms of appearance, this is my personal favorite. With its beautiful creamy blue texture, it is reminiscent of soft ocean waves gently reaching the shore. And that pretty much describes the absolutely calming effect you will get from interacting with this particular stone.
5)-Blue and Pink Fluorite
Fluorite is the mineral form of Calcium fluoride. It comes in a variety of colors but blue and pink are the best ones for anxiety. They calm you and align you back with thoughts that make you feel relaxed. While blue fluorite is a more common variety, the pink fluorite is less common and a little more expensive.
6)-Himalayan Rock Salt
Himalayan Rock Salt has a special effect, which distinguishes it from the others: It is especially good for preventing anxiety. So if you are someone who struggles with anxiety more often, I have a pro tip for you: rub some Himalayan Rock Salt on your body when you shower. This has a wonderful non-physical cleansing effect that helps prevent stressful and agitating thoughts.
7)-Rose Quartz
Not only is Rose Quartz one of the best stones for cultivating self-love and love in relationships. It also reduces your anxiety by opening your heart. He who opens his heart with love, softens his gaze. If you struggle with relationship-induced anxiety, this stone is your best choice.
What is Ceremonial Cacao and How to DIY a Cacao Ceremony
Cocoa has played a central role in our culture and in the daily life of many people. But what a majority of people do not know is that chocolate or cocoa powder contains only a fraction of the plant’s actual power. Don’t get me wrong, I love the delicacy of good chocolate. But today I want to talk about raw cocoa – and its natural doping properties (in a good way).
