Our Top 7 Crystals to help you work through anxiety.

Crystals for anxiety work by encouraging you to change your thoughts and aura. They bring you positive thoughts and calmness to help you eliminate negative thoughts and patterns.

Feelings of anxiety can strike at any time, but are common in social situations, large crowds, when travelling, or any time we are not feeling sure of ourselves. Even worse it may lead to panic attacks.

Using crystals can be a gentle and holistic way to overcome these feelings of anxiety. Crystal healing can ease symptoms such as stomach churning, tense muscles and loss of self-confidence, allowing you to enjoy life more. Here are seven of the best crystals for anxiety.

Please note: You should always seek medical advice if you suffer from anxiety. While crystals may help relieve symptoms, they are never a substitute for medical or psychological care.

If you suffer from anxiety and avoid anxiety inducing activities, grab one of the crystals below and simply hold the stone, remembering to focus on the positive.

Citrine

Citrine doesn’t hold or accumulate negative energy, so it’s a wonderful stone for when you’re feeling fearful or need assistance with a problem.

If you’re taking control of your life and could use more optimism, cheerfulness and self-esteem, Citrine is a powerful crystal that will help ease your anxiety symptoms.

Blue Lace Agate

The beautiful soft colour of Blue Lace Agate can help to calm your mind when it’s full of ‘what may happen'. As it is connected with the throat chakra, it helps you to speak in social situations when you may feel anxious and uncomfortable about doing so.

If you resist change because it puts you out of your comfort zone, Lepidolite can help you through the change process. It can also allow you to recognise unhelpful behavioural patterns. Hold Lepidolite in your palms to see a situation from a fuller perspective.

Rose Quartz

Fear can make it impossible to feel compassion for yourself and others. Rose Quartz, with its tender essence, can nurture self-acceptance and self-love by installing a sense of calmness and serenity.

Additionally, Rose Quartz can ease feelings of anger or resentment that develop when you're constantly feeling stressed. Keep a thumb stone in your pocket and stroke it when you feel the need. It reminds us to remain heart-centred when faced with difficult situations and negative emotions. Sleep with Rose Quartz under your pillow to ease anxiety-related insomnia.

Black Tourmaline

Black Tourmaline is a master at keeping your spirits high during a worrying period. It’s also known for enhancing well-being and can absorb negative energy. This is most useful when you're under pressure, causing you to feel worried or anxious.

The best way to alleviate worries is to get out of your head for a bit. You can do this by reconnecting to the root chakra energy and allowing the negative ions of Black Tourmaline to work its protective magic. Wear a Black Tourmaline bracelet on the left-hand side of your body to benefit from its protective vibes throughout the day.

It emits the purest vibration and links to the angelic realms, making it a wonderful stone for releasing the fears associated with change.

As it resonates with the heart chakra, Danburite also opens the heart and encourages self-love. This is vital when healing anxiety, as these feelings are often caused by a lack of self-care.
