When a friend suggested to change my necklace pendant to a healing stone, I was a little skeptic. At the time, money was short and I was feeling lethargic, had a lot of stress, and found that everywhere I went it felt like there was a dark cloud above me.
But there was one thing for certain, my life couldn't get any worse than it already was, and the bonus here was that the pendant was an extremely gorgeous garnet stone.
After a month of keeping this stone close, and thinking positively, my life turned 180 degrees. I really don't believe in coincidences.
You don't necessarily need these stones to be on your neck so they can work their charm. You can keep it in your pocket, home, car, or anywhere else you like. Just make sure you acknowledge its presence!
Here are eight powerful healing crystals that you should always keep close to you that will balance your mind, body, and soul.
1. Amber
Amber is one of the world's oldest stones and holds ancient wisdom.
This golden gem encourages creative self-expression and is said to alleviate symptoms of depression.
If you feel like you're stuck on a project and can't plow through it, keep this stone close to you. It's best if the gem is actually touching your skin.
It will balance all the negative energy in your body, and encourage you to think creatively.
2. Rose quartz
The stone of love is desired by many people seeking harmony in their relationships.
The beautiful pink stone works to purify spirits and encourage good thoughts.
Next time you get worked up over what a friend said or what your significant other didn't do, keep that rose quartz close and know that it will comfort you in times of upheaval.
3. Halite
This crystal was formed through the evaporation of sea water, and is known to be able to remove bad energy around you - whether it's from this dimension or not.
You can keep this in your home in the form of a Himalayan salt lamp. It exudes a positive, warm aura that makes you feel happy and calm.
4. Labradorite
This gorgeous mineral is kept close by those who need to go through a time of transformation, and need strength to get through times of upheaval.
As with all times of stress, this stone will aid in digestion and lower your blood pressure.
5. Rock crystal or clear quartz
This clear stone is associated with higher consciousness, memory, and clarity, and is perhaps the most popular of all the healing crystals.
The stone is known to absorb negative energy in order to cleanse the soul.
It helps to maintain concentration, and improve your memory skills.
If you're ever unsure about something, keep your rock crystal or clear quartz with you for a few days, and you'll find you're not as indecisive as you used to be.
6. Amethyst
If your life is plagued by fear and stress, keep an amethyst crystal close by.
