Crystals for The Emotional Wreck

Natural Amethyst Slice

Question: Hello, Quick question, A friend recently came to me and told me he is an emotional wreck, he is suddenly sad or angry all the time for no reason. 

He said he has been stressed out a lot lately, what kind of crystal would you suggest for him?  

PS. He is not really knowledgeable about spiritual healing, chakras, crystals etc, I wanted to purchase something inexpensive for him as an introduction. Thanks!

Answer: Thank you for writing to us. It is great that you would like to introduce crystals to your friend, they can open up his energies greatly.  

From what it sounds like, he could benefit from Amethyst.  Amethyst is widely popular and known, so it is excellent for those starting out (as well as the rest of us!).  Amethyst helps release anger, and calms the emotions.  It also assists in better sleep, and opening up to the spiritual nature of one's self and connect him to his greater life purpose.

Another excellent crystal for all around master healing and positive energy is Quartz. Most people are familiar with quartz, and it is usually what pops into mind first when the word "crystal" is heard.  It is one that we recommend for people who are starting out, because it encompasses all types of energies and can be programmed for anything.

CRYSTALS: Upsetting

QUESTION: Hi Sheila, Lisa, and Ann, I have a crystal question i hope you can help me with. Someone told me that if you have a strong reaction to a crystal, like if you use a crystal and it brings up uncomfortable emotion, it means that you are in need of healing that specific crystal can offer. When i heard this, it made me think of an experience I had last year with rhodochrosite i didn't understand.

When i would use this crystal, afterward I felt very irritable and angry. I started speaking up and starting fights in my relationship. I was confused because as a crystal that helped with love and the heart, why was i getting so upset each time i used it? But i can see now, all the emotion that was brought up helped me to speak up about things that were bothering me. I have been afraid to use it ever since, because i didn't want to feel those emotions again...but now i wonder if maybe it was actually helping me to heal my heart by helping me face things in my life that were bothering me deep down. Months later, we ended that relationship and i see this was this ending was the best thing for me. I wondered, was it all in my head that every time i used the rhodochrosite i felt upset, was it just not a good crystal for me, but now i wonder if it was bringing me healing by bringing up the emotions.

If you have any thoughts, please let me know.

ANSWER: Hi, thanks for writing! You are correct, some crystals can bring out stuff that you didn't want to deal with at a certain time. For example, Malachite is a power stone that will bring up past emotional trauma. It is so strong some people need to counter it with the calming energies of Rose Quartz. Both are heart chakra stones, but with different wavelengths. These blockages will be released when you are ready for it and crystals will definitely aid in this cleansing. Sometimes you are not ready to face the past and you may leave a crystal for a while, like you did with your Rhodochrosite (pictured). When you are ready (perhaps now that you are looking back and making some realizations!), you will be drawn to it again. Everybody goes at their own pace!

Sheila!
