How Do Crystals Help With Depression?

It’s hard to come to a place of acceptance with depression. You may feel like you don’t know where to turn, or that people might judge you for feeling depressed. However, depression is extremely common, and you should never have to endure it alone.

Our emotions can change multiple times throughout the day, especially in light of current events. If you notice your moods shifting frequently, it’s helpful to have crystals around to vibrate positive energy all around you. 

The first step to healing from depression is to be gentle with yourself. It’s okay to feel down and sad, but know that you deserve to also feel happy. 

Depression affects your outlook on life, and simple joys might not fulfill you during this tough time. In time, the burden weighing on you will lift and you’ll feel back to yourself again. In the meantime, crystals for depression can invite healing energy to your mind and heart.

We’re going to teach you about the best crystals for depression, and how to use them to get through those tough days. If you make healing crystals part of your daily life, you’ll minimize negative energy and clear up space for restorative, positive energy.

Best Crystals For Depression

People have used crystals for healing for thousands of years. Below, we’ll explore the four best healing crystals for depression. 

Citrine For Happiness

One look at Citrine and you’ll know why this crystal is a joy-booster. Citrine is the french name for its zesty lemon hue. You can expect that same burst of exuberance to grace you when you practice healing with citrine. 

You know the feeling you get when you taste something sour? Suddenly, all of your senses awaken and you feel a burst of flavor and energy. Citrine has that same effect, but instead of eating it, you’ll hold it or meditate with this crystal.

If you find yourself gravitating on negative thoughts of past traumas, invite a fresh perspective with Citrine. 

Citrine has many healing properties, including boosting motivation, encouraging creativity, revitalizing the soul and mind, and alleviating depression.

Carry Citrine with you in your purse or pocket, or practice a healing ritual. Add a drop of lemongrass essential oil to your citrine crystal and place it in the areas you spend the most time. The lemon scent combined with the fresh energy of Citrine will have double the power to help you feel rejuvenated.

Place your Citrine crystal by the window to allow the healing light of the sun to flood into your space and illuminate your home.

Aventurine For Compassion

Depression can put a gap between your relationship with yourself and others. In times of depression, it’s difficult enough to connect with yourself. You may end up feeling isolated and ashamed, and for that, perhaps your relationships are suffering.

It’s not your fault, and completely understandable that you wouldn’t want to socialize or reach out when you’re sad. However, if your friends and family don’t know you’re depressed, they may take it personally.

If you’re feeling particularly self-critical, or want to reconnect with your loved ones, Aventurine can help.

As the crystal of compassion, Aventurine helps to rebuild broken bonds. With this compassionate energy, you’re able to better connect with your inner spirit. By healing the relationship with yourself, you can improve your personal bonds as well.

Hold Aventurine to your throat and chant a mantra to amplify your compassion. One of our favorites is:

“I am surrounded by people who love me, friends and family who believe in me, and uplifting energy that wants me to be happy.”

Repeat this ritual daily until you start to feel happier and more self-loving. You may also notice an increase in confidence, and feel less vulnerable to negative energies from depression and anxiety.

Rose Quartz For Self-Love

Sometimes in our darkest hours, what we need most is love. After all, love is the greatest healer. Rose Quartz is the stone of love. The healing properties in this crystal help you work through traumas and deep wounds. 

Rose Quartz invites calmness to replace the negative energy you harbor in your mind, body, and soul from painful experiences. In its place, you gain access to forgiveness, compassion, and acceptance. 

If you have negative self-talk or thoughts, it’s important to invite the loving energy of Rose Quartz with you everywhere you go. A great way to heal is to wear a Rose Quartz necklace pendant that hangs near your heart. 

Throughout your day, the healing properties of Rose Quartz will help you feel calm, accepting, and warm with love.

Tiger’s Eye For Protection

Depression often comes on out of nowhere and without any catalyzing event. That’s why it’s smart to carry Tiger’s Eye, the “Stone of Protection.” As one of the most powerful crystals for depression, Tiger’s Eye acts as a shield of protection against negative energies.

Sometimes our anxiety or stress compounds into depression, and it happens before we even realize it. If you feel especially vulnerable to depressive thoughts, or haven’t been able to break free from depression, reach for Tiger’s Eye.

Every day, (in the morning or before bed), meditate with Tiger’s Eye. Tell the crystal that you need help combating negative energy, and ask it to build a protective layer against negativity around you.

The crystal will activate its powerful healing properties and help you regain control over your thoughts. In turn, you’ll start to feel more bold and courageous to face difficult emotions.

Shake Off Depression And Shine The Light Within
