Crystals for depression or feeling down

I’ve been using crystals and oils over the last few months to lift mood and energy levels. They aren’t a substitute for proper medical care, so please only use them as an assistant. My boys roll their eyes at me, but truth be told they do ask which oil can the use and they do have crystals in their bedrooms (so secretly they love them!). 😉

Last week I had my girlfriends over for a few drinks and a night in. It was hilariously fun. I haven’t had the energy to do that in quite a long time. Since my colostomy surgery (I am also still taking proper medication for that too) I have been determined not to fall back in a heap and am doing everything I can to keep my energy high. And it’s working! It really is. I have been busily manifesting, clearing the air around here and using little crystals and oils to keep me going.

I have said this many times before when I have written about the use of crystals… I feel that energy creates energy. So if they make me feel good, and I believe, I shall receive.

If your vibration is low at the moment you could try a few crystals to carry with you daily, or put one in your room, or in a space where you like to spend some quiet alone time.

Here’s a few crystals you might like…

Citrine

Citrine is the stone of abundance. It’s a powerful cleanser and regenerator, energizing, creative, opens intuition. It absorbs negative energy easily. Teaches how to manifest prosperity, all that is good and how to share. Helps to go with the flow and overcome fear. Citrine is a powerful mood lifter.

Smoky Quartz

Excellent stone for grounding and protecting, especially in time of stress. Eliminates bad energy and detoxes on all levels. Relieves fear, lifts depression and brings calmness. Aids acceptance of physical body.

Rose Quartz

Unconditional love and peace. Purifies heart, calms and reassures. Attracts love to you and from you. Brings self-love and acceptance. Releases unexpressed emotions and heartache. Comforts grief. Encourages self forgiveness and trust.

Amethyst

Strong healing and cleansing powers. Helps to overcome addictions and blockages of all kinds. Aids sleep. Dispels all negative emotions and brings positive responses.

Sunstone

Brings joy and sweetness back into your life. It lets the sun shine again in times of darkness. This is a stone to help you to unhook past connections with family. It lets you say no, removing co-dependency. A good antidepressant as it lifts dark moods. Increases self worth and self-empowerment.

Peacock’s Eye

Peacock is a stone of happiness and joy, it is said to turn you in positive directions, and help channel happiness to others; generally a stone to aid with uplifting you.

Tourmaline

Cleanses, purifies and forms a protective shield around the body. Buried, it promotes growth. Banishes feelings of being a victim, attracts inspiration compassion and prosperity. Powerful mental healer, releases tension, removes blockages. Protects against cell phones, strengthens immune system. Put it under your pillow, carry it in your pocket or wear it in your bra!

Lepidolite

This purple stone absorbs negative thoughts, especially obsessive ones, and works to open the throat, heart, third eye and crown chakras. It works to stabilize mood swings. Emotionally, it’s a very calming stone that aids sleep and balances excessive energy. It helps you to stand in your own space and speak your truth. Reduces stress and depression. A stone of transition, calming and supportive during deep emotional distress.

So there we go… a few crystals I would recommend to you if you’re not feeling so great at the moment. We all want something to believe in, something which makes us feel good and I can’t go past a pretty crystal to help with that. Conveniently, you can buy these in my shop most of the time too! ? If they are sold out, I will always be getting more, so keep an eye out.

This is also a good post to help you work out what/where to put them.
