5 Crystals To Promote Luck And Change
By: Kristina Alvarez
The change from wintertime to spring brings the desire for new beginnings and prosperity. The transitions - from the cold to warmth; from gloomy to bright - prove that nothing stays the same.
However, sometimes we need help with change. Change can be difficult; at the same time, it is important to get rid of the things that no longer fit us. One way to promote change is through the use of crystals. Crystals are naturally-occurring stones of various colors and patterns that are said to hold healing properties that promote change and remove things that are no longer needed from your life.
There are a variety of ways in which you can begin using crystals, but the most common form is to hold them and use them in mediation. Meditating with crystals helps you relax and put your mind at ease in order to allow the crystals to heal your spirit.
If you find yourself in need of change in your life - whether it comes to business, relationships, finances, or just luck in general - here are five crystals that can help you get started.
Green Aventurine, typically a sage green color, is known to be the luckiest crystal because it promotes luck in all aspects of life. It is known to release old habits/patterns, allowing new, healthier ones to grow.
It is also known as the “Stone of Opportunity” because it is said to remove pessimistic energy that blocks creativity.
Garnet, a crystal of a deep red, is known to produce luck in your career. If you desire to improve business relationships and draw people to work with you, Garnet may help. It is a grounding stone, meaning that it helps to create a balanced mindset and promotes courage, strength, hope, creativity, confidence, and charisma.
It is also known as the “Stone of Health,” meaning that it helps to release negative, toxic energy and leaves us in a healthier, more positive state of mind.
Amazonite, a blue-green crystal, helps to promote stronger relationships. It resonates with the heart and throat chakra (heart chakra is related to matters of the heart, while the throat chakra is related to matters of expression). This stone is also meant to soothe the nervous system, allowing us to change the way in which we emotionally react to certain situations. It can help create an optimistic outlook towards situations that we’d like to change.
In our relationships, it can help:
Reduce judgment and feelings of misunderstanding
Build a better understanding of ourselves and others
Better respond to situations with acceptance
Create healthy boundaries
Citrine, which ranges from yellow-orange, helps to attract people and situations into our lives in order to better reach our goals. It is known as the “Merchant’s Stone,” meaning that it can help us in areas of manifestation, wealth, and abundance. It can uplift our moods in order become more excited and optimistic about the things that we’d like to change.
Since Citrine is a crystal that helps to remove negative energy from your life, you are bound to see luck and prosperity in areas of change.
Smoky Quartz, a crystal that is a brown-grey shade, helps to bring general luck into your life. It is known to clear negative energy and replace it with positive energy. It also allows for improvements in relationships and finances.
Smoky Quartz is also known as the “Stone of Power,” meaning that it has the ability to protect and ground oneself by removing negative energy. It shields against painful feelings and memories in order to promote optimism and a sense of purpose. □
