Calming and Insightful Crystals

Over the past few weeks, while  "staying-safer-at-home" and experiencing new world pandemic lifestyle, my energies, thoughts, and "triggered" behavior patterns have forced me to anxiously move from a state of "survival" to a more hopeful, sustainable, and calming "it will be okay" vibe. Our neighborhood parks and local hiking trails were closed for a period of time, so no mental health miles running on the dirt and out in nature. I had to find positive ways to release my stress and anxiety. Shopping and dealing with people at the grocery store freaked me out a bit and motivated me to get the garden cleaned out and planted with food (just in case - who knows?.....) I have been working (a lot) in the backyard garden. Digging deep and getting dirty. Trying to R-E-L-A-X. Growing tasty veggies and herbs. Grieving. Wondering and praying. WTF. Started to create and build a labyrinth. Dealing with the "drama" in the garden caused by a plethora of earwigs and gophers (not helpful in relaxing.) 1st year planting lettuce, definitely beginner’s luck with a big green payout. These are Salad Days.
 

I find myself, more than ever, reaching for the crystals seeking some stability, grounding, stress relief, energetic comfort, inspiration, and support. The crystals are something tangible I can hold onto while everything continues to spin in this weird badly written surreal Sci-Fi movie called "WTF?!? Covid-19".

Keep the Vibe High is my mode of operandi. The every day energetic focus for me is to stay in the present moment and cultivate joyful energetic vibrations that help to “lighten the load” when responsibilities and situations seem a bit overwhelming. I appreciate the crystalline support for helping me release dark thoughts, feelings of depression and anxiety, letting go of fears and built up tension, as a reminder to be gentle with myself and others, and useful for up-cycling any negative vibe into a positive, energetic and encouraging outlook. In my experience, I find it is very beneficial to slooooowwww it all down when things appear to be happening too quickly, or I feel unprepared, or powerless to deal with circumstances seemingly out of my control.

Here are few crystal suggestions to slow it down, get some clarity, and create a positive mindset and openness to experience life with more of a trusting and long-term overall perspective. Take a few moments, sit (or garden) with the crystals, and meditate...............Wheeeeeew...... much better.
