Ten Healing Crystals for Stress

Stress is unavoidable in any society and is a symptom of our

inability or ineffectiveness to accept change as fast as it seems

thrust upon us. We must adapt quickly to disappointments, shock and

traumas, physical pain, and other tremendous emotional and

psychological imbalances in our environments. It isn't easy to keep

up with the changes!



Crystals are particularly good at helping us adapt to changes in

energy frequencies created through stressful situations. There seems

to be a crystal for every form of stress including financial

(Citrine), relationships (Rose Quartz) and burnout (Smokey Quartz).

Having a large crystal in a room can also help reduce stress, by

reducing negative energies and harmonizing imbalanced energy

patterns.



By wearing the crystals through out the day, preferably as a full

necklace, as a pendant, or in a small pouch at the Heart Chakra; the

vibrations of the crystals will continue to affect areas of the

imbalance, restoring a positive state where the imbalance has

occurred. The effects of crystal healing at the emotional and

psychological levels are subtle, yet are often noticed more by others

than yourself! I have listed ten crystals and gemstones that are

useful in healing stress.



Ten "Stress Stones"

Amethyst

Keep an Amethyst cluster at your desk or in your therapy room to

transmute negative energy. Amethyst helps you think and act at your

highest level. It's good for promotions (spiritual), and reduces

tension headaches. Wear an Amethyst pendant continuously for migraine

prevention and for alleviating arthritic pain.



Citrine

The "Success Stone" - Citrine encourages a bright outlook and

happiness. It attracts wealth and joy. Keep a piece in your wallet to

enrich your holdings. It can help stabilize emotions and soothe

family problems. Citrine is also good for improving stress-related

digestive problems.



Clear Quartz

Clear Quartz can be worn as a crystal pendant to deflect radiation

from going to your body. Quartz is an excellent general physical

system fortifier and protector. It increases mental clarity. Hold a

clear crystal at your solar plexus and breath evenly for several

minutes to calm your emotions, to relax the body, to clear the mind,

and to refresh your energy. Stare into the crystal to clear writer's

block and to increase creativity.



Fluorite

Fluorite - a stone to unblock stuck energies. For digestive systems

problems use the yellow/green color combination. For pains in the

skeletal and muscular system, use the blue/white color combination.

For head area complaints, use the purple/clear combination. For

asthma, wear the green colored Fluorite. To help congested mental

thoughts, use a purple cluster in your work area, or position a

cluster at your crown chakra while sleeping.



Garnet

Garnet - An energy revitalizer. Garnet is excellent for strengthening

the base chakra. It promotes sexual energy (for your self and

partner). It helps increase circulation to the legs and pelvic area.

It reduces menstrual pain when held or taped over the ovaries and

uterus. Garnet can increase sexual stimulation and fertility too!



Hematite

"The Anti-Stress Stone". Hematite reflects back negative energies to

the sender (so you don't end up taking them on yourself). Hematite

dissolves the issues when one meets with confrontation. Tape a small

piece over the leg and back areas to reduce pain and to increase

electromagnetic circulation. Hematite helps balance the meridians.



Malachite

Malachite is excellent for Type A personalities and for those prone

to heart disease and stresses to internal organs. It helps to

detoxify the liver and to increase blood circulation. Malachite is

excellent for breaking up old energy patterns. Use it with Rose

Quartz to soften the effects of a broken heart! Due to the possibly

toxic copper content of this stone, keep Malachite away from pets and

children, and do not wear it against the skin for long periods of

time. This stone is for external use only.



Rose Quartz

"The Love Stone" - Rose Quartz is very protective and soothing for

many issues. Place a large chunk of the stone at your Heart Centre

for 15 minutes to relax after a stressful day. Rose Quartz helps to

unblock anxiety and to promote healing of private emotional issues.

It allows one to become more receptive and open to challenges.



Smokey Quartz

Smokey Quartz is an excellent stabilizer for mood swings. It helps

ground feelings of depression, and both absorbs and transmutes

negativity. This stone is best worn at the solar plexus, the seat of

the emotions. Smokey Quartz is excellent for PMS and cranky persons;

and good for persons imbalanced due to extreme stress and burnout.

It provides a protective field for recovery.



Turquoise

"A Stone of Protection" - Turquoise is an excellent toner for all

systems of the body. It helps prevent organs from absorbing toxins

and breaking down. Wear this stone at the throat to strengthen your

will and to communicate effectively. It helps to sweeten the voice

and speak your truth. Turquoise helps reduce premature aging.



Some Hints On Crystal Healing

Your commitment to the crystal is part of the healing process. Let

the crystal do the work for you.



It is best not to wear more than two crystals at any one time if you

are new to crystal healing, as many find the effects too distracting.

The length of time to obtain the effects desired will depend on the

quality of the crystal (size, color, energy charge), location worn,

duration worn, and the crystal's appropriateness to your healing

issue. Some crystals are better suited to the overall underlying

problem than to just treat superficial symptoms. Select your crystal

with an honest outlook on the problem.

Spell for forgiveness

Talk about the universe giving you something you need. I thankful for the following spell that appeared in my email today.

Last night I was at a Nelson\Mellencamp\Dylan concert. Safe to say that it was 11,000 full of overaged hippies, me included. I went to get a pretzel at the break after Willie Nelson, I wanted to take a short cut across the field, I have arthritis in both knees so walking stadium steps gets to be hard. Well, I went down the wrong aisle, so there were 4 people sitting at the bottom walkway and I was going to walk through and the guy on the end puts his cane up to block me, yes his cane; and they all start yelling at me to go back. I was appalled, I could not believe these people who were wearing their peace shirts and being nasty at the same time. So I go one aisle up and say excuse me please to this nice couple with a little girl and they look at me and put there feet up to block me, and I say please excuse me, it difficult for me to walk up steps can I please pass, they say no. So my ass is alot bigger than there ankles and I push through, I get to the end of the aisle and another old hippie in tye dye sits down to block my way so I climb over the stadium seat and fall through the chair hurting my leg. I am so upset with mankind at that moment. All I did through the night was cry at the hate I felt. But first thing this morning this spell is in my email - I intend to say it over and over today and do a ritual tonight.

Please remember, my dear readers, that to make the world a better place we must love everyone and show love to everyone. I probably shouldn't have pushed through, I should of just walked back up, I mean either way my legs were going to hurt, now I just have a big bruise to nurse.

So much for the peace and love generation - I guess they grew up to a world of hate.

Spell for Forgiveness

July 15th,

At times, anger becomes a part of our lives. It can be very easy to allow that anger to remain within and fester into a dark void inside ourselves. If allowed to remain there, it can even grow to become a dominant force in our lives. It is said the only true cure for anger is forgiveness, forgiveness for whoever or whatever brought about the anger in the first place. It is not easy to forgive. It takes great strength and conviction. Some positive meditation time is also optimal.

With a pink candle for emotional healing and some soothing incense, the following chant to the Lady is a good starting point.

After loss, there is gain.

After pain, there is healing.

Let the anger I hold be healed

From within and without

I release my anger toward ________

Anger has no place in my life or power over my heart

All ills are healed, all wrongs forgiven

Let there be peace for now and all time.

So mote it be.
