Crystals for Anxiety
The most comment question I get asked is "What should I get for my anxiety?". Now to start no miracle crystal will "cure" you but they can aid in releasing your anxieties when paired with other methods such as meditation or deep breathing. Let's talk about anxiety for a minute. Anxiety can be an occasional worry or it can become a type of chronic condition. There are plenty of types of anxieties such as social anxiety, OCD, phobia, and just overall generalized anxiety. Now that we know some types of anxiety let's dive into the crystal healing portion.
Amber is a wonderful support crystal for social anxiety, best when worn as a bracelet, necklace, or ring. Should be worn when going into intense social situations such as a business presentation or the meeting of a significant others friends or family. Hold your crystal or jewelry for a few moments and take 5 slow and deep, calming breaths before entering the room to help ease your anxiety.
Blue Lace Agate is another great stone for situational anxiety such as traveling-related stress. This stone works best when worn as a necklace or earrings, can also be carried in your pocket or bag while traveling. Blue Lace Agate has a very calming effect and helps lessen deeply rooted negative emotions.
Amethyst is a wonderful crystal for anxieties that arise before bed and keep us up at night. Amethyst not only helps with sleep but also aids in resolving anxiety. Amethyst works best when placed under your pillow or by your bedside. Pair with lavender essential oils either in a soothing bath before bed or diluted in a carrier oil and rubbed on your pulse points,
Sodalite is our fourth stone that works well for anxiety, specifically one that is in the chronic stages such as OCD. The best way to use sodalite to aid in easing your anxieties is to wear it daily as a necklace or earrings and to hold in your non-dominate hand while you meditate or sit and take 10-30 deep breaths when you begin to feel overwhelmed by your anxiety.
Lastly on our list although there are more useful crystals is Lepidolite. Useful for generalized anxieties, best when worn as a necklace or earrings and can be carried in your pocket. Can also be held in either hand and used in daily meditation. This stone greatly helps relieve stress and promote calmness.
