Crystals to help positivity improve your mental health

While crystals are not a substitute for professional mental health care, some people find them supportive. Amethyst is often associated with calming energy and stress relief. Clear quartz is believed to amplify positive thoughts. Rose quartz may promote feelings of love and self-compassion. Citrine is associated with boosting mood and energy. However, it's essential to approach crystal use with an open mind, recognizing that their effects are subjective and may vary among individuals. Lepidolite is thought to have calming properties and may aid in reducing anxiety and promoting emotional balance. Black tourmaline is believed to help with grounding and protection from negative energies. Selenite is associated with clarity and is often used for cleansing energy. Blue lace agate is said to support communication and ease emotional tension. Remember that the use of crystals is based on belief systems, and scientific evidence may not fully support their claimed benefits. It's essential to incorporate them into a broader approach to mental health that includes professional guidance and evidence-based practices.

Aventurine is believed to bring luck and prosperity while fostering a positive outlook. Labradorite is associated with enhancing intuition and reducing feelings of insecurity. Hematite is thought to provide a sense of grounding and stability. Smoky quartz is often used for stress relief and grounding negative energies. Keep in mind that individual experiences with crystals can vary, and the effectiveness may depend on personal beliefs and practices. Always approach crystal use as a complementary aspect to a holistic mental health approach that includes professional help when needed.

Wards to hand by doorways, windows or above your bed. I really love these and never make replicas so even if two look similar, they will never be the exact same<3

Crystal Care

Crystals come in a wide variety of shapes, structures, compositions, and colors. They do require some care, if you use them frequently. Here's a loose guide about cleansing and caring for your crystals!

Cleansing

Crystals, as they are used in witchcraft, conduct energy. The type of energy varies by crystal, but all of them can get stagnant energy stuck because of that. There are several ways to cleanse crystals. Some are: sage, palo santo, incense, sea salt, sun or moon light, soil, singing bowl or tuning forks, salt water, or simply holding it.

Setting Intentions

Most stones have multiple correspondences, so it can be important to set which of those you want to harness. This can be done by simply whispering it to the stone or putting it in a container with your intent written down.

Don'ts

Since stones have vastly different compositions, some of them shouldn't be put in certain conditions. Below are some don'ts for certain rocks.

Water- calcite, carnelian, galena, halite, hematite, labradorite, lepidolite, lodestone, malachite, mica, moldavite, opal, pearl, pyrite, selenite, turquoise, obsidian, ulexite, angelite, celestite, muscovite, biotite

Sunlight- amethyst, aquamarine, aventurine, calcite, celestine, citrine, fluorite, jade, jet, kunzite, lapis, malachite, tourmaline

Heat-cinnabar, emerald, moonstone, sodalite, unakite
