There are times in life when you may find yourself surrounded by negative energies.  Usually they are energies given off by people who either do not wish you well or people who approach life in a negative manner.   It’s so easy to pick up those emotions and allow them to ruin your peace of mind.  Healing crystals can provide protection for your emotional well-being. 

Although there are many choices of crystals for protection, I prefer Black Tourmaline, Smoky Quartz, Black Obsidian, and Amethyst.   They work in either raw or polished form or even in jewelry.  Carrying or wearing these stones provide unique protection of your peace of mind.  

Black Tourmaline cleanses and transforms dense energy into a lighter energy. It grounds spiritual energy and balances all the chakras. It forms a protective shield around the body.  Tourmaline was traditionally used to as a shamanic stone to bring protection during rituals and point to the culprit in times of trouble. 

Smoky Quartz is one of the most efficient grounding and anchoring stones. This protective stone has a powerful link with the earth and base chakras. It is a wonderful antidote to stress assisting during difficult times. It relieves fear, lifts depressions and beings emotional calm.

Black Obsidian impels us to grow by presenting all the truths of us. A strongly protective stone it grounds us through the root chakra.  Absorbs negative energy from the aura and stress from the body.

Amethyst is a meditative and calming stone which works in the emotional, spiritual, and physical planes to promote calm, balance, and peace.  The Amethyst helps balance out highs and lows, helping with emotional centering and dispelling rage, fear and anxiety.

Make a pouch of the stones and carry them with you or wear them as jewelry for protection.   They are not only protective stones but are beautiful as well.  You can even place them in the four corners of your house to keep negative energy out of your house.  With so much negativity in the word they will be a wonderful asset to your peace of mind.
