Gemstones to Heal the Soul

For centuries, certain gemstones have been highly regarded for possessing healing powers on both spiritual and physical levels. Beyond making appealing jewelry, they are believed to have healing energy that can influence disease and psychology. Gemstones are recognized for having certain properties and meanings that have been embraced around the world for hundreds and thousands of years. These healing crystals have the power to enhance your positive qualities and restore your chakras, if applied properly.

The phenomenon is gaining popularity each year and more and more people are beginning to take up the art of gemstone healing therapy. Here are ten healing gemstones specifically for the mind, body, and soul.

Zoisite - It is known for the power to change negative energy into positive. It 

enhances a strong sense of individuality in the bearer and encourages them to express themselves instead of being a product of society. On a creative level, Zoisite is 

appreciated for helping artists get back on track when they seem to have lost their way. It has a powerful connection to positive energy and promotes happiness, well-being, and health.

Galena - Harmony is the best term to describe Galena.  Its powers are based on emotional healing, restoring balance, and promoting peace on a metaphysical level. If you feel that you are losing touch of both yourself or the Divine, you should consider carrying a Galena gemstone.

Labradorite - If you are a deeply spiritual individual and want to use your sense of energy to help those around you, labradorite is what you need. If you feel that 

negative energy is making its way into your life, you can count on labradorite to help you maintain a positive balance in order to continue your adventure.

Hematite - Strongly resonating with the base or root chakra, the Hematite 

gemstone can be found in dark shades such as black, brown, red, or gray.  It is widely regarded as a “stone for the mind” and allows the bearer to focus on their goals and tasks. It is quite a powerful choice among healing gemstones and can be a reliable partner when undergoing troubles.

Kyanite - Kyanite comes in multiple colors, but the most popular type is blue 

kyanite.  Kyanite is famous for having the power to align and even open all seven chakras. This also means that it can heal the chakras and help you regain control of your life and the energy surrounding you. Kyanite is one of the strongest healing gemstones and allows the individual who bears it to experience complete calmness in order to successfully carry out deep meditation.

Agate - This variety of stone reflects on peace, strength, and protection. If you feel that you are at a loss of creativity or concentration, you can count on Agate for helping you get back on the right track. A fantastic aspect of Agate is that it is a wonderful gemstone for children, it is thought to have the ability to protect children when they wear it. In addition to this, Agate can also help out people with relationship problems through its promotion of harmony, understanding, communication, and loyalty.

Calcite - Defined by cleansing, this stone is exceptional for healing from a distance. It has very strong connections to spirituality, knowledge, creativity, and wisdom, just to name a few. If you feel that you are in a very hectic or stressful situation, consider keeping a calcite gemstone near you or wearing it in the form of a piece of jewelry.  It will help you steer clear of negative energy and regain hope in your own strengths and abilities. For these types of situations, I recommend optical calcite, which is also known as Iceland Spar.

Obsidian - The volcanic glass we know as obsidian is among the healing gemstones that resonate with the root chakra. Obsidian gemstones come in several colors, each one with additional healing properties. Mahogany Obsidian promotes grounding, Black Obsidian enhances imagination and Golden Obsidian reflects and supports protection.

Howlite - Known as White Turquoise, White Buffalo, or Khaulite, Howlite is an opaque healing gemstone that represents calmness and balance. It allows the bearer to be more aware of his or her surroundings spiritually and be able to absorb knowledge on a higher level.  Furthermore, it aids individuals in overcoming trauma caused in the past and begin a fresh start and a new life. Howlite also supports healthy communication and breaking barriers related to disputes.

Malachite - Malachite is recognized by its outstanding shades of dark and bright green. Above all, it is a stone of transformation, allowing people to embrace change and make the best of any situation. Abundance, protection, and evolution are also key focuses of Malachite, making the individual working with it more open-minded and ready for positive spiritual transformations.
