Crystals for Anxiety

While it’s natural to feel anxious from time to time, persistent anxiety can keep you from living your best life. Living in a heightened state of anxiety can tax you physically and emotionally, taking a toll on your body, overworking your adrenal glands, and throwing your hormones out of balance. Anxiety may take many forms, such as social anxiety, phobias, constant worry, or obsessions and compulsions. Anxiety is a root chakra issue that relates to a sense of security, so working with this chakra can help you feel more secure.

I relax into infinite serenity.

Meditation

Sit quietly while holding a root chakra stone, such as a garnet. Close your eyes and breathe in. As you breathe in, visualize peace flowing into your body and say the mantra. Now, as you exhale fully, visualize your anxiety flowing out of you. Continue for at least 10 minutes or until your anxiety subsides.

Remedy #1: Blue Lace Agate

Blue lace agate has a serene blue color that is reflective of its calming properties. Wearing or carrying blue lace agate in your pocket can help ease situational anxiety, such as nerves for a job interview or travel-related stress.

Remedy #2: Lapis Lazuli & Clear Quartz Grid

Create a circular grid with a large lapis lazuli center stone of any shape and eight clear quartz points arranged in a circle around the lapis. Face the quartz points away from the lapis toward the room. The quartz will amplify the calming properties of the lapis and send them out into the surrounding area.

Remedy #3: Black Tourmaline

Carry black tourmaline in your pocket when you are feeling anxious. It is a grounding stone that will absorb any negativity.
