Healing Crystals for Anxiety

Anxiety seems to be an ever-increasing problem in our fast paced, high stress world.  These days, it is one of the hot topics for people to write about online, because so many in our world are struggling with it.  This time of year is especially difficult, with more stress about money, family and obligations.  If you are feeling the stress of the season, consider these healing crystals for anxiety.

Amethyst
Amethyst is a beautiful stone that ranges from light to dark purple.  It is easily found in many areas and is the birthstone for February.  In crystal healing, amethyst is used to fend off negative influences and protect the wearer from environmental stresses.   You can wear or carry it to calm mental stress, and sleeping with amethyst under your pillow is said to help you sleep better.

Aventurine
Aventurine is a beautiful green stone that is readily available from Brazil, India and Russia.  In crystal healing, aventurine encourages tissue repair and circulation, and is used to calm the body and mind, while promoting optimism and a love for life.

Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz is easily obtained from several geographic areas.  Its color is a beautiful pink that ranges from light to dark, and to me is one of the most feminine stones.  In crystal healing, rose quartz is said to regulate the physical effects of stress, such as panic attacks, and is said to calm fear and anxiety.

All three are soft colors, and would make a great bracelet combined or with other stones.  Wearing a piece of jewelry made with healing crystals for anxiety can help ease the stress of the holidays and help you regain your focus.
