GIFT GUIDE 

Stressed for the Holidays

Need rest and relaxation this holiday season? Know someone who gets anxious in the bustling time of family obligations?

Here are the three crystals for holiday stress relief:

Black Tourmaline

If you want a crystal that can help put your worry and fears to bed and provide you with a feeling of security, the Black Tourmaline is the crystal for you. Anxiety will strike when you don't want it to or when you are least prepared for it, normally when you are at your busiest. Having Black Tourmaline with you can help you focus on what you need to focus on and help you get through and deal with your anxiety.

Blue Lace Agate

This beautiful crystal is normally periwinkle in color and it provides a soothing and calming vibration which will help the mind to relax and calm down. When you hold the Blue Lace Agate in your hand and focus every day, you naturally reduce the everyday stress that normally transforms into chaos or panic. If you have daily anxiety, you may want to consider carrying this crystal in your pocket or possibly making a necklace out of it so it can be with you throughout your busy day, providing comfort when you need to calm down.

Lepidolite

This crystal is more effective in helping with anxiety than any other. Lepidolite contains lithium which is commonly found in prescription anti-anxiety medication. With this crystal giving off the vibe of balance, it can reduce the mind’s view of chaos and stress and focus more on the calm, providing comfort, inner peace, and overall harmony.

How to use crystals for stress relief

Whether in jewelry or stone form, place these crystals in your hands when you feel nervous or anxious during the holidays. The goal here is to avoid an anxiety attack and to help you gain control of the emotions that trigger it. Every crystal gives off a different vibe which you can't hear or see but your body, mind and soul can feel. You also want to make sure that when you feel overwhelmed, leave the room for five, ten, or even fifteen minutes. Take slow deep breaths and relax. Know that you are going to be okay and you are in control. Hold your crystals in your hands while you breathe and focus on your goal of stress relief.
