Crystals For Stress

Today I want to talk about crystals that can reduce stress. Stress is a part of almost everyone's life, and we need ways to manage stress or else our life will crumble. There is actually a pretty long list of crystals that can be used for stress. Some crystals you can use for stress are:

• Green aventurine
• Smoky quartz
• Black tourmaline
• Unakite
• Tigereye
• Picture jasper
• Snow quartz
• Angelite
• Blue lace agate
• Celestite
• Petrified wood
• Banded amethyst
• Ocean jasper
• Onyx
• Aquamarine
• Lepidolite
• Amazonite
• Aragonite
• Chrysocolla
• Jet

Now, that may seem like a huge list, and it is a really big list. But all these crystals have that same property of reducing stress. If you have any of these crystals, you can use them for that purpose.

All these crystals have other properties as well, so it's important to keep that in mind when choosing which ones you want to use. You may want to choose a stone that helps you with more than one issue.

For instance celestite and angelite attract angels, so if you are interested in that, use those crystals. Jet and black tourmaline are good protection stones to protect you  from negative energy.

Aquamarine and amazonite are great communication crystals, so if your problems with stress involve talking and communicating, use these stones.

In order to use any of these stones, you can wear them as a necklace or bracelet. I always recommend to hold them in the palm of your hands while meditating each day to get the maximum results from them. Sometimes wearing a crystal just isn't enough and you need to actually put the work in and meditate to see the results you want.

I hope these crystals help you out with managing stress. Remember to cut out toxic people. They can cause a lot of problems like stress. Switch jobs if you need to maintain your sanity. Just do what you need to do to keep yourself happy and healthy in this life. Don't waste these precious years under so much stress. Free yourself.

Green Quartz Benefits and Meaning

Green quartz is a green crystal that is kind of see-through. Note the picture above, where I have a green quartz crystal grid on my hand made of 8 crystals. Green quartz benefits include:

• Money
• Abundance
• Luck
• Empathy
• Healing

This stone helps to attract money and wealth into your life. Many of the green stones have this property as well. Certain colors of stones tend to have similar meanings, but vary slightly. If you need a financial boost, you know you can use a green stone like green quartz.

Use green quartz with pyrite and jade to increase the effects of attracting wealth into your life. Sit with these stones in meditation and visualize what you wish to achieve.

Green is also the color of luck. Everyone could use a little good luck, and green quartz can provide it. Use green quartz when you need that extra boost. You can use green quartz with jade to increase luck.

Green quartz is also a stone of empathy. I want to talk about this for a moment. Note that I'm not saying green quartz is a stone for empaths. It's not. If you are an empath and struggling with that gift, green quartz probably shouldn't be used until you have more control and understanding of your gift. Green quartz is a stone to help others develop more empathy. So it will help you be more empathic if you are not already that empathic.

If you want to develop empathy, keep a green quartz stone around at all times. You can wear a green quartz necklace as well to help you. This will help you tune into other people's emotions more. Be careful what you wish for. Empathy can be an overwhelming and confusing gift. That is because you are feeling other's emotions on top of your own emotions. Also, it can be hard to distinguish what belongs to you and what belongs to yourself. This leads to confusion and doubt. It's not always nice to feel other people's emotions and can be hard on anyone that is chronically stressed out.

Green quartz is used for healing. This is also very common among green stones. The color green especially relates to emotional healing and healing matters of the heart. Green is the color of growth. Healthy plants in the wild are vibrant and green. Green quartz represents growth and healing.

To use green quartz, you can wear it, meditate with it, or sleep with it. You can hold it in your hand and just enjoy the stones. Whatever feels right for you.

Be careful with charging translucent stones in the sun, as the color made become faded by the sunlight over time. Sun charging is my personal favorite way to charge stones, but just be careful with these types of stones, and don't let them stay in the sunlight too much.

The effects of green quartz are greatly increased if you choose to make a crystal grid like the one shown above. You can include other stones such as jade and green aventurine. All 3 of these green stones have a lot in common and can increase the effects of each other. So if you like what this stone has to offer and want more of that in your life, making a crystal grid out of green quartz, jade, and green aventurine could be something you look into.
