Oh my God, what if you wake up some day, and you’re 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn’t go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen.

Crystal Healing: anxiety - stress reliefs.

aramo-n:

If you exaggerate your fears: Smoked quartz. 

It’s the anti-anxiety par excellence, it brings serenity and it’s of great help for depressed people who are struggling to stay in the world. If you are fearful, this stone is going to bring away negative thoughts, anxiety and panic attacks. Always brings the stone with you, slipping it into his pants pocket close to the root chakra. If you want a deeper work, you could lying on a mat, relax and put your smoky quartz on the stomach for at least ten minutes.

If you are hyperactive: Aquamarine

It’s the stone of mystics. It is useful to hyperactives, always fighting against time, who take charge of a thousand commitments with the anxiety of not being able to carry them out. The aquamarine gives peace of mind, clarity and lightness. You could prepare an elixir leaving the stone in a glass of water for three hours. Take with 4 drops, 4 times a day, under the tongue.

If you are stressed and you don’t sleep well: Amethyst

It is one of the most beautiful crystals for its purple shades. It acts on the higher energy centers, calming nervousness and mental excitement that prevent you from sleeping. It is used in meditation to increase the concentration, but is not suitable for those who get angry and then you end up with bad headache. In your room, keep a Druzed amethyst (the heart of the mineral). It will relax you.

If you have been hit by a violence: Pink Calcite 

It’s good for when anxiety is due to a past trauma that has left its mark. If, when you were a child, you have witnessed family violence, or if you have had an accident and you have left unconscious fear. The energy of pink calcite frees you from a cumbersome past. You can put it under the pillow to ensure peaceful sleep, or hold it while you are in the yoga lotus position, with your eyes closed and while you breathe deeply.
