5 crystals for holiday stress relief

Holidays - where high expectations, stress and keeping everyone around you smiling - all keep knocking on your door. If you already know it’s a draining time for your soul, let’s turn to crystals. We’re a crystal community after all. A life imbued with crystals is an empowered and exciting life.

I want to talk about 5 crystals. Each of them have unique properties and repercussions. Bringing more love and harmony into your life, and turning holiday blues into a catchy blues song instead.

Fluorite

Tired of smiling when you’re screaming from the inside? Fluorite is a great stone to relieve anxiety, tension, and stress levels by detoxifying the emotional body. It can help get rid of mental blocks and related mental issues. Fluorite can reduce fear of the future and ease anger and depression. Fluorite can also remove confusion and mental "fog" to create a sense of order and harmony in one's life. Have it by your side when you’re taking time off.

Malachite

Summoning the Sun out when your ship is in the midst of an 80-foot wave storm. Malachite never fails to bring about positive changes in one's life. It brings about these changes in a gentle and caring way, making the transition from one state to another an easy process.

Obsidian

Your subtle energy force that counters negative energy (including grinches and scrooges) can use some help every once in awhile, especially this time of the year. Mahogany obsidian and black obsidian crystals are great at blocking you from these unwanted energies altogether. Negative energy makes you feel like there’s a dark cloud over your head. Without realizing it, you start to become the worst version of yourself. It’s a stone of purification and protects against negative energy. A common practice is to put it near your front door of your home, or near the entrance of the bedroom.

Aventurine

You can’t go wrong with Aventurine. If I had to choose a favorite from today’s crystal list, this is the one I’d pick. But it’s not an easy pick. Its strong connection with the elements of Earth and Fire increases the flow of life force. Which might seem the opposite from relaxing, but increasing Chi naturally promotes well-being. It is a gentle stone that gives a sense of calm and balance. An added bonus that I LOVE about green aventurine is that it works magnificently well with those whose intention is focus on abundance and success...which lets be real...who doesn't want more of that??!

Jasper

When you feel good, you naturally attract positive energy around you. Jasper - The supreme nurturer. If you feel lost on your journey, Jasper’s high spiritual energy acts as a stop sign and shakes the chaoticness off you. It re-activates a passion for living when you’re feeling unemotional and seem to have no interest in anything.

Take your pick. Try one or all of them. Use them as holiday decorations. (Place them in front of candles… Talking about setting the mood.) They’re simultaneously mystical, beautiful, and practical.

Happy holidays!

Love,
