When the world gets a little crazy, it is a good time to ground yourself in order to remain centred in the midst of chaos.
There are many crystals that can help us do this - so pick the crystal that feels right for you. (We also have a section on picking crystals in our resource list.)
Examples of crystals you may want to consider include:-
Hematite - helps you feel calm, centred and more balanced.
Smoky Quartz - is said to neutralise negative energies as well as cleanse and balance the root chakra (your root chakra is responsible for your safety and security in this physical world - kind of appropriate right now, don't you think???)
Shungite - helps get rid of anything toxic that no longer serves you.
Agate - aids in centering and stabilizing ones energy
Amethyst - an all round favourite that does so many things, and yes, that does include centering and balancing ones energy.
One of the easiest ways to help ground is to meditate with a crystal, or wear a piece of jewellery, such as a grounding bracelet made of hematite.
