The Top 6 Crystals You Need For Protection and Healing

I love crystals and gemstones. Over the last year, I've became pretty obsessed with them. I started reading books that talked about history, the use of crystals and how important they were. I used to think it was all made up and just some hippy dippy thing; until I got into it of course. Using crystals has changed my life for the better, to be honest. Here are my top 5 crystals I would suggest using for protection and healing.

Amethyst

Amethyst has been used since as far back as the times of Ancient Egypt for various reasons. It is a natural tranquilizer. Relieving stress and strain. It soothes irritability, balances mood swings, dispels anger, rage, fear and anxiety. Amethyst alleviates sadness and grief, and dissolves negativity almost entirely. Amethyst activates spiritual awareness, opens intuition and enhances your psychic abilities.

Fluorite

Fluorite is one of the most beautiful stones you will ever see. Fluorite cleanses and stabilizes the aura. It absorbs and neutralizes negative energy and stress. An excellent learning aid, Fluorite increases our powers of concentration, self-confidence and helps us in decision-making. It encourages positivity, balances the energies, and improves balance and coordination, both physically and mentally.

Fluorite boosts the immune system and stimulates the regeneration and restructuring of cells and DNA, particularly in the skin and respiratory tract, and heals ulcers and wounds. Fluorite strengthens bone tissue, and alleviates rheumatism, arthritis and spinal injuries. It improves the discomfort of shingles and other nerve-related pain.

Obsidian

Obsidian is what they call a truth enhancing stone. It is a strongly protective stone as it blocks out negativity, forming an energetic shield against it. It blocks psychic attack as well and absorbs negative energies from the environment. It also draws out mental stress and tension. Very good to carry with you everyday.

Fire Agate

Fire Agate is a protective and grounding stone with a calming energy. It is said to build a protective shield around the body, deflecting ill-wishing and harm and reflecting it back to its source. It stimulates energy and life force and is also said to increase sexual vitality and libido giving it the nickname "the eternal youth stone." It is also used for treating the central nervous system. Like other Agates, it is commonly used to help treat eye disorders.

Jasper

Jasper is a stone of endurance, grounding and stability. It provides comfort, security, strength and healing. It helps balance the aura. Historically, Jasper and its use dates back to all ancient peoples and civilizations. Worn by shamans, priests and kings and queens, it was considered sacred and a powerful protection stone, for both the physical world and in the spiritual realm. Yellow Jasper in particular is a stone of endurance, perseverance and tenacity, and shields against others’ negativity. Worn for long periods of time, it eases chronic worries and transmits healing and empowering Earth energies, especially when meditating outdoors.

Tiger Eye

Tiger Eye is one of my favorite stones. I remember the first time I purchased one. I felt a sense of calm yet confidence as the stone rolled around in my hand. It's considered a stone of protection and may also bring good luck to the wearer . It helps to focus the mind, promoting mental clarity, assisting us to resolve problems objectively and unclouded by emotions. Tiger Eye is also useful for healing psychosomatic illnesses, dispelling fear and anxiety.

Crystals have long been a part of human history since the beginning of recorded time. They are the original "batteries" of the earth if you will. Crystals help generate energy and guide it in the direction you want. Just recently they discovered ancient weapons made out of clear quartz in Spain. There are also authentic crystal skulls scattered throughout the world carved in various types of stones. They are used for literally everything, from manifesting abundance in your life to help healing the sick, meditation and so on. There are energetic "grids" all over the planet that crystals act as generators for, if you know what you're doing. Of course, the more people you have with crystals standing on these grid points, the better. If you're on the fence about weather you should incorporate crystal work into your own life, give it a shot. You're not losing anything if you do, if anything they are beautiful to look at and would make a nice addition to your home decor or jewelry collection. I highly recommend them .
