Anxiety is unfortunately extremely prevalent in our current day and age. Most, if not all people will experience it at some point in their lives. Anxiety may make it difficult to concentrate or be present in the moment. It can paralyze people from going out in the world and living their best life. Fortunately, there are many ways to combat anxiety. Meditation, movement, sunlight and aromatherapy can all be super helpful tools in ameliorating the symptoms of anxiety. One other potentially powerful way to combat anxiety is through the use of crystals.
Crystals have been used by civilization for centuries to harness powerful vibrations and energy fields. They are not only very pleasing to look at but from a molecular standpoint they demonstrate beautiful atomic formations within. These formations radiate out and draw in energy in different ways, allowing us to pick up their vibrations and use them for different things. For anxiety crystals can work in different ways to comfort and support those in need. Simply holding them in the palm of your hand during meditation or wearing them on your person throughout the day can be extremely beneficial for your energy and your emotional body.
Below is a list of five crystals for anxiety relief. I hope you find this information useful in enhancing your mood, mindset and energy.

It is a powerful crystal for harmonising energy, helping to bring anxiety under control.

Place a geode in your environment or place a piece over your heart chakra in the centre of your chest for a few minutes before sleep.
2. Snowflake Obsidian is a crystal known for optimism, purity, balance, insight, protection, and truth. Since it works well at lifting the spirit and providing powerful doses of optimism it may help with anxiety as well.
