Anxiety is one of the most common problems in our modern hectic society.  There is so much pressure to be good-looking, thin, rich and have a fantastic social life.  The reality of life is truly different and that’s where anxiety is created, when we try to live up to false expectations.  When you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and anxious, take a deep breath, wiggle your toes and get out your best crystals for anxiety.

There are many different crystals that are especially adept at reducing anxiety.  These crystals include:  Lepidolite, Rose Quartz, Blue Lace Agate, Lithium Quartz, and Tourmaline to name a few.  The best way to choose the right crystal for you is to see which stones calls to you.  Depending on what you are anxious about may very well influence the type of crystal you feel drawn too.

Rose Quartz is especially helpful for promoting love of self and others.  When you feel like you’re not living up to society’s unrealistic expectations, Rose Quartz is wonderful for making you feel less anxious, warm and loved.  Lepidolite is wonderful for panic attacks.  Do you every find yourself out in public when out of nowhere a sense of panic comes over you?  That often leads to a panic attack.  I bring Lepidolite with me in restaurants where I tend to experience panic attacks.

Once you decide on which healing crystal to use, hold it and focus on it while stating your intentions for it.  For instance, Black Tourmaline while staring at it ask for it to protect you from feelings of anxiety.  Take deep breaths and imagine yourself free of anxiety.  The stone wants to work with you and will adopt your intentions for it. 

Whatever emotion you are experiencing in your life, research crystals for that emotion and look at them to feel which one pulls you.  That’s the crystal for you at that moment in your life.   Healing crystals are a wonderful way to deal with the overwhelming emotions of everyday life or especially times of crisis.
