No matter where you are on your healing path, stress seems to be a constant companion for all of us. The fast-paced lifestyle, constant overthinking, work, and personal struggles, bit by bit pile up until the stress becomes unbearable.
Over the years I struggled immensely with stress and wasn’t sure whether I was on the right path, if stress is around every corner. A big part of my inner healing journey was learning that stress will always be around every corner, but how I deal with it, will be the difference between letting it pile on, or safely processing it and releasing it.
Today, I’d like to share with you how crystals helped me on this wonderful healing journey to relieve stress. Here are the best crystals for stress relief, how and when to use them:
1. Amethyst
During my healing journey, I found that the beautiful amethyst is one of the most calming crystals. Its beautiful soothing energy helps in achieving inner peace. I found Amethyst most helpful when I was feeling stressed or anxious over work. I made it a habit to wear a Natural Amethyst Wrap Bracelet at work, simply holding the beads, and taking deep breaths whenever I felt overpowered by stress.
Sometimes, you might not be even aware that stress has been piling up within you for a while. And when it does, you might be feeling stressed out and anxious for no apparent reason. I have struggled in the past a lot, to simply understand where is it coming from, and to restore my peace. But once it piles up, it’s hard to make sense of it - yet by regularly meditating with my Natural Amethyst Lotus Mala, just for a few minutes, taking deep breaths, and visualizing the stress leaving my body and slowly dissolving I restored my inner peace.
If you struggle with restless sleep because of stress, I recommend wearing Amethyst when you go to sleep as well.
2. Blue Chalcedony
In the past, I struggled a lot with emotional turmoils. At moments, I would be sad, then afraid, panicking, angry, and so on with no end. Being constantly emotionally unbalanced and unpredictable stressed me out, and made me doubt myself. 
Thankfully, on this wonderful healing journey, I discovered Blue Chalcedony, and not only calmed my emotions, but I also learned to express them properly, before they build up and get out in unwelcome ways. With Blue Chalcedony, I learned that when we heal, a lot of emotions will naturally surface, and that’s okay. Working through them, honoring them, and releasing them is just another part of the healing journey.
I wholeheartedly recommend wearing a Natural Blue Chalcedony Lotus Mala daily to soothe your emotions and bring yourself back to a calm state of existence. Especially during traumatic, and stressful times. Meditate daily to get in touch with your emotions, and understand and express them healthily.
3. Jasper
At so many points in my healing journey, I was exhausted from all the stress and constant worries about the future. I was also feeling unsure about my path, I found so many parts within myself that needed healing, so many toxic patterns, that I didn’t know what to do with them. Abandon them? Root them out to keep myself healthy?
Yet, fate has its way to bring help when you need it most, and soon I started to work with Purple Jasper. In a way, Purple Jasper often feels like an old friend, filled with compassion, kindness, and understanding that never judges you, and always helps you make sense of yourself.
By meditating daily with my Natural Purple Jasper Lotus Mala I started to accept rather than reject the broken pieces inside me, and that brought me immense stress relief. Mostly because I finally understood that all pieces of myself deserve healing, even the ones I don’t like.
I recommend picking up even a Stillness Natural Blue Jasper Wrap when you are going through especially difficult and stressful times, to nourish yourself, and return to inner calmness.
4. Aquamarine
If you struggle with a shorter temper, constantly fighting and you’re creating a lot more stress than you are releasing during those fights, working with Aquamarine can be especially helpful.
Aquamarine’s calming energy can bring calmness even in the most heated arguments. Its very nature will encourage you to be more compassionate and understanding towards others - helping you resolve arguments easily, and without stress.
I wholeheartedly recommend wearing Natural Aquamarine Lotus Mala at all times to relieve inner stress. If a heated argument occurs while you wear it, Aquamarine can help you to choose your words wisely, guiding you towards a solution, rather than more stress.
5. Black Onyx
When I was going through the most difficult life changes that caused me immense stress that kept me frozen in a moment of endless loss, all I prayed for was the strength to carry on.
Yet, in moments like those, support and slowly building up your inner strength can provide more help to not only push forward but to also release the chains piled up stress can cause. If you are going through an especially difficult time, wearing a Natural Black Onyx Wrap Bracelet can provide you with much-needed stress relief.
During difficult life changes, stress, or loss, Black Onyx gives off a strong, yet supportive energy; pushing you forward and helping you endure. Black Onyx is one of the most powerful crystals for building up your inner strength and stress relief.
I found it especially helpful to devote my mornings and evenings to short meditations, simply touching the beads of my Natural Matte Black Onyx Lotus Mala and repeating my affirmations: “I have unwavering strength, everything will pass, and everything will be all right”.
I hope you found these tips helpful, and that these beautiful healing crystals will help you in your healing path towards stress relief.
