Crystals for Mood Swings
It’s not always easy to stay on an emotionally even keel, nor is it always necessary. Throughout your life, you’ll experience an incredible range of emotions, which is part of the human experience. These emotions are normal and healthy, provided you don’t get trapped in any single negative emotion. Mood swings, however, often accompany hormonal issues, stress, and other difficulties, and they can be problematic in relationships. These remedies can help normalize erratic mood swings that may affect how you relate to others.
I manage my feelings with kindness and compassion for myself and Others.
Meditation
The best meditation for mood swings is just simple deep breathing and mindfulness. When you feel your moods are unstable, close your eyes and take several deep breaths. As you breathe, repeat the mantra to yourself until you start to feel more even-keeled.
Remedy #1: Smoky Quartz
Smoky quartz is an excellent crystal for balancing emotions, so it’s great to keep with you if you are suffering from mood swings related to reproductive system hormonal changes (such as PMS ormenopause). During those times, carry a piece of smoky quartz with you in your pocket, near your sacral chakra, which controls these hormones. If you feel a mood swing kicking in, repeat the mantra 10 times.
Remedy #2: Sodalite
You may also experience mood swings associated with other hormones, particularly from the thyroid and parathyroid. To help with these, focus on the throat chakra, wearing a piece of sodalite around your neck.
TIP: Mood swings and irritability may also be related to non-hormonal personal issues such as stress, depression, or unexpressed anger. If your mood swings are related to these issues, follow the remedies in this chapter for dealing with them.
