Crystals and gemstones are potent healing helpers. There are several easy ways to tap into this powerful medicine. Hold a stone in the palm of your hand as you meditate, place a small polished stone in your pocket, or place a stone in your pillowcase while you sleep.
The following stone suggestions help calm anxiety and bring in a sense of safety and hope:

  • Angelite (brings in hope and eases loneliness)
  • Blue calcite (helps clear fear and imparts a sense of hope)
  • Blue tiger’s eye (calms anxiety and panic)
  • Aquamarine (calms mental anxiety)
  • White howlite (supports calm stillness and nourishing sleep)
  • Kyanite (brings in balance and energetic alignment)
  • Black tourmaline (grounding)
  • Red jasper (nurturing)

Flower essences are powerful plant spirit medicine that bypass the ego. These beautiful allies provide deep and potent support on all levels. The following flower essence blend supports a sense of courage, safety, hope, optimism, emotional balance, and mental balance.

Into a small glass dropper bottle place:

  • 1 drop Aspen flower essence
  • 1 drop Gorse flower essence
  • 1 drop White Chestnut flower essence
  •  1 drop Sweet Chestnut flower essence

Fill the bottle with spring water. Cap and shake to mix. Label your essence blend with ingredients and date. Take 4 drops of your essence blend when you are feeling anxious, panicked, fearful, hopeless, or in need of emotional or mental balance. You may place 4 drops of your essence blend directly into your mouth or into a large glass of filtered water and sip slowly.

Short guided meditations can be very helpful in shifting anxiety and overwhelm. Visit my Empowered Goddess YouTube channel to access several free mini meditations.

Finally, I want you to know that I am holding a space of love and hope for you. We will make it through, together.
