Jun 01, 2020 07:17AM ● By Deborah Nelson
Day after day of living life under the constant, chronic cycle of stress and uncertainty brought about by the current pandemicmakes it difficult to feel centered and safe. Although stress is an inevitable part of life, when it becomes excessive, it can lead to debilitating anxiety, fear, worry or even panic attacks.
Anxiety is one of many conditions that respond well to therapeutic gems. Turning to the natural, gently supportive remedy of healing crystals and gemstones can be a way to alleviate unsettling feelings, release stress and feel calmer. Unlike medication, which is all about treating the symptoms, using calming crystals for anxiety and stress relief helps to calm and heal mind, body and spirit.
Crystals can be tucked into a pocket or purse, worn near the skin and placed around the home as a gentle reminder to care for ourselves on a deeper level. Spend some time arranging your gemstones in patterns or grids. For the most effective stress relief, try holding or being near healing crystals while meditating or resting.
The energy of crystals works best by setting aside any skepticism about their capabilities. Begin by selecting a crystal and holding it gently within the palms of the hands. Relax and allow the crystal to help quiet the mind and reconnect to the universally healing vibrations of the Earth. Open the mind and senses to feel the subtle calming energy.
Today, a volume of books exists on the subject of gemstones and crystals, as well as what each is best used for and how they can be arranged in patterns and grids. Working with the healing power of crystals takes time and practice. The more time spent with crystals the more peaceful, gentle, healing energy can be felt. Listed below are just a few of the crystals recommended; many of which are available at SilverEagleGallery.com. New ones are added daily.
