Crystals can help with your anxiety...

Crystals for Stress and Anxiety

by accredited Crystal Healer, Sarah Jane

During the unsettling time, we find ourselves over the past few months since the “pandemic” became a part of our lives, a lot of my clients have found themselves feeling various levels of anxiety, low mood or becoming quite withdrawn and fearful.

Mental health was already being taken more seriously especially with the stresses and strains that work-life can bring. In response, a lot of businesses started wellness initiatives. In fact, one of my last companies provided the staff with a free yoga class every week, which we all looked forward to. Media also launched 'Let's get Britain Talking' which was a positive step.

However, for a busy working woman there is always more to do and the “working day” is more than the hours we do in our paid job. Just think of all the other hats women wear and commitments that need to be adhered to - we are just supposed to be amazing. A domestic Goddess; wife, lover, mother, sister, daughter, chef, whilst maintaining our health, and looking good. I know you could add to this list! Gosh, I’m tired just thinking about it all!

Then add the pandemic and its health implications, lockdown, working from home, making video calls or just being completely alone, it’s not surprising we are all a bit weary.

Then coming out of it to the “New normal way of living”, whatever that’s supposed to be and more anxieties arise!

This sparked up a very interesting conversation with a client, who also wanted some advice for a family member. Her young niece has schizophrenia and had forgotten to take her medication for a little while which had sparked a severe relapse and hospital admission while the medical professionals sorted out her meds. She also has and loves crystals and would often put her clear quartz cluster on her forehead, third eye!!!

”NOOOOOOOOO!!!” was my immediate reply, “That is very dangerous for your niece as all quartz especially clear quartz is an AMPLIFIER, used in radios, TV, computers, laser eye surgery, to name only a few, so it will overload her mental condition and can cause more harm than good, and set off another episode, please tell her to never do that again!”, was my reply.

Banded Fluorite (in photo above) is one of my 'go to' crystals to help alleviate mind chatter, when you find it hard to turn your thoughts off as Fluorite literally brings order to chaos, and the fragmented parts of the mind together, especially if you are an over thinker or analyser, bringing calm and some much needed “peace of mind” this in turn promotes clarity and more ordered thoughts and thinking to flow through.

Blue Lace Agate

Blue Lace Agate has calm and soothing properties and sends out a gentle pulsating energy to bring about a sense of calm and peace. It can be used to calm down highly strung people or to alleviate stress and anxiety, slowing the person down to a nice relaxed state. Blue Lace Agate placed under your pillow also aids a good night’s sleep, an essential for good mental clarity.

Green Aventurine

Green Aventurine radiates an energy of peace and calm which moves around the body dispersing any blockages. Aventurine can be used on the heart charka to cleanse and balance the energies. This crystal can encourage people to want to reconnect with nature and Mother Earth. It can help to repair nerve damage and can also promote a sense of peace and general wellbeing.

Crystals and their healing vibrational rays are able to help calm and support the nervous system if used under the direction of a qualified and accredited Crystal Healer as a complementary therapy together with medical intervention from the client’s doctor. In cases of more complex issues like Bipolar and Schizophrenia, or someone on heavy prescription drugs it is not advisable to have crystal therapy as it can make things worse as I learnt during my two years crystal healing training, accreted by ACHO (The Affiliation of Crystal Healing Organisations Ltd).

You see crystals are not just pretty, sparkly things they are very powerful beings with their own consciousness, that radiate their own healing vibration energies into ours. The amazing crystal and mineral kingdoms have grown and evolved within our Mother Earth for thousands of years and hold knowledge scientists could only dream of. Crystals are here to work with us and share ancient knowledge to help us heal However they must be sourced responsibly, used with permission, respect and honour, just like all the abundant resources freely given to us from Mother Earth.

With that in mind, I would like to share with you a few of my favourite crystals I use for myself and on clients, to help support and calm the nervous system, the stresses of life and mild anxieties.
