WHY AMETHYST HELPS

The Amethyst gemstone is a purple or deep lavender crystal that is a tranquilizer and will help soothe, reduce stress, and ease anxiety and irritability by emitting its powerful and stable energy. It helps when you are struggling with fear and grief and it is a great stone to help you open up to your intuitive awareness so you can see the clearer picture instead of anxiety clouding your views. That is because it is connected to your Third Eye and Crown chakras which represents your psychic ability and intuitive side. It is when these chakras are blocked, anxiety will often result.

It is a great stone that will help keep you protected from psychic attacks as well and can help dissolve negativity. Amethyst comes in a variety of forms as the crystals can be charms for necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. It is recommended that you keep the stone in close contact with you when you are utilizing its helpful and soothing properties.

You can keep the Amethyst crystal by you by keeping it in your pocket. This can be really helpful to ease your worries when you are about to go into a stressful situation such as taking an exam or going for a job interview.

A great way of harnessing crystal power is of course by wearing it as an item of jewellery as this provides constant skin on skin contact. The Amethyst stone will help keep you calm and will help you think more clearly as well when you are doing these things.

  • Close your eyes, hold your crystal and imagine yourself and the crystal surrounded by a loving purple light.
  • Imagine this beautiful purple light now pulsating and pouring calming and tranquil energy into you.
  • Once feeling this powerful energy surrounding you, then Imagine a purifying white smoke of light entering your body on every inhale of breath.
  • On every exhale of breath, imagine a darker smoke of light exiting your body that contains all of your stored negative energy and tension. 

There isn’t a set time for this meditation; simply trust your instincts.When you feel your energy shift, that is when your meditation for anxiety is complete.
