Crystals to soothe your emotions
In times of emotional turmoil or when you are caught in a worry or fear spiral, crystals can help you to acknowledge, accept, process and heal your emotions, bringing you inner calm and peace.
Moonstone is wonderful if your emotions are spiralling out of control. With its feminine, nurturing energies, moonstone works to balance and calm the emotions. In particular, if you often find yourself emotionally overreacting or not being able to make sense of your emotions, moonstone will help you to process and heal them, rather than repressing or supressing them to the point that they become explosive. Moonstone is particularly useful for balancing hormones and for those times of the month when emotions seem to become overwhelming.
Carry moonstone with you and hold it whenever you feel your emotions rising. You can also meditate with it, either holding it in your hands or placing a piece over your heart and/or sacral chakra, allowing the calming effects to soak into your emotional body. As you meditate, try inhaling slowly through the nose, as deeply as you can, pausing for a moment and then taking a long, slow, deep exhale out of the mouth, visualising the release of pent-up emotions. You may even add sounds – like a deep sigh, hiss or blowing out of your mouth – to consciously breathe out anger, frustration, sadness or any other overwhelming emotions you may be feeling. Place a couple of quartz points pointing away from you around your body to bring a deep, emotional cleanse at times when you feel really emotionally overwhelmed.
Amazonite is another must-have crystal for your emotions, helping to soothe them in times of emotional turmoil or when all you can feel is worry or fear. This calming crystal brings a sense of balance and peace, helping you to flow with your emotions rather than fight with them.
