Achieve Anything With These 4 Crystals
Written By Karina Jackson
If any of you lovely readers struggled to keep your New Year's resolutions, no sweat! Since the beginning of the year, we’ve been under a sleepy winter influence and no one would blame you for not having the energy to become a whole new person just yet.
As of March 20th, we began the Spring Equinox, astrological new year, and the start of Aries season!
With all that new fiery energy in the air, now is the perfect time for making resolutions, starting new projects, and planting seeds (physically and metaphorically). No matter your sun sign, everyone will be feeling inspired and impulsive. Take advantage of this!
In order to help actualize your goals, I have compiled a list of crystals that will help you do just that.
Bloodstone
Properties: creativity, alignment, courage, resiliency, luck, protection, motivation
This crystal will bring on new ideas, give you the courage to pursue them, and help keep you on track in case of any roadblocks. It may even prevent roadblocks altogether. Being associated with the root chakra, Bloodstone is wonderful in meditation for realigning yourself when feeling overwhelmed. This is a good one to keep on your desk, wear as jewelry, or just loose in your purse, bra, or pocket.
Cleanse & Charge: This crystal is water safe and sun safe so any method of cleansing and charging will work.
Aquamarine
Properties: hope, inspiration, communication, intuition, meditation, calming
This crystal will bring mental clarity and soothe a busy mind. With its association to the throat chakra, Aquamarine can help bring about clear and concise communication. It’s also a great one to use when meditating on what you really want and how to achieve it.
Cleanse & Charge: Aquamarine is water safe but not sun safe. If you must use the sun, leave it for no more than a few hours. Overheating can cause it to crack and fade.
Moss Agate
Properties: abundance, prosperity, balance, personal growth, stability, focus
With Moss Agate's connection to the root and heart chakra, it's amazing at bringing you back in balance when things get hard or chaotic. Use this crystal to help navigate mood swings and as a reminder to take a step back, look at things from a different perspective, and know that you can do anything.
Cleanse & Charge: Moss Agate is water safe, but not entirely sun safe. If you must use the sun, leave it for no more than a few hours. Overheating can cause it to crack and fade.
Rose Quartz
Properties: emotional healing, overcoming fears, love, patience, self worth, removes negative thoughts
With its connection to the throat and heart chakra, Rose Quartz is the best reminder to practice self love and patience. Without those, you will inevitably burn out and projects could come to a screeching halt. This crystal can also assist in healing from past traumas & emotional wounds that may hinder your success. So let rose quartz help you listen to your body and assist in self reflection.
Cleansing & Charging: Rose Quartz is water safe, but not entirely sun safe. If you must use the sun, leave it for no more than a few hours. Overheating can cause it to crack and fade.
