Hey guys, blessings! Today, the moon is void between dreamy Pisces and assertive Aries, leaving you feeling a tad floaty, ungrounded, and unproductive. Grab a fluorite to slice through mental fog (atacamite works great, too, for a rarer option) and keep your favorite grounding crystal on you as well (smoky quartz, hematite, black tourmaline, black onyx, carnelian, agate...to name a few.)
Before I get started with today's question, I wanted to let you know that I am now on twitter (@crystalwitch6) - you can follow me for quick little daily crystal tips and astrological info. I am also going to start accepting specific crystal related questions that you may have and addressing them in my blog posts, so please feel free to contact me through twitter with your questions - crystals for specific purposes, a specific crystal you would like to see a post about, or anything else you may be wanting to know. There is now a more direct line through which to contact me.
Today, I'm going to respond to a very good question that I received today. The question was: "My sister has recently gone through a break-up and is having a really hard time - emotionally, she's not in a good place. I'm a little worried about her doing something silly out of loneliness, like jumping into a new, equally unhealthy relationship just to rebound. I know her situation is difficult, but I would like to see her grow from this and handle it in a positive manner. What would be a good crystal for her?"
So... there are A LOT of ways I could approach this question. First, let's address the first part: crystals for a break-up. This is a really common question that I get all the time. My first recommendation for soothing the pain associated with a break-up is rose quartz. If there's a hurt in your heart chakra, regardless of what it is, reach for your Rose Quartz - this is your go-to stone for all emotional healing. Green Aventurine is often credited for its rightful title as the luckiest of all crystals, but its important association with the heart chakra and emotional healing is sometimes overlooked. Green Aventurine is another good crystal to reach for whenever you need any sort of emotional healing, but is particularly effective in dispersing the pain associated with a relationship break-up. These two crystals are extremely common, and I recommend both for the beginner, and if you don't have them, they're super readily available and affordable. If you have a little bit more of an advanced crystal collection, Diopside, Aegirine, Moss Agate, Jet and Iolite are a few other really good crystals for mending a broken heart.
So now, we've addressed her broken heart, but it sounds like there is an underlying emotional pattern that concerns you with your sister - it sounds like she could use a loving stone to help restore her sense of self-worth and self-love, which have become compromised following her upsetting break-up. Elephant Skin Jasper and Flower Jasper are two of my favorite members of the Jasper family and would both benefit your sister in this case. Elephant Skin Jasper helps to alleviate loneliness, restores self-confidence, and helps you to become contented with your own company. Flower Jasper takes it a step further and helps to increase one's sense of self-worth and self-love. It also mends a broken heart in addition to quieting the self-doubt one is often left with when a relationship fails. Therefore, it is frequently recommended for this exact predicament - it promotes independence, self-love, and mends a broken heart, hitting all of the bases. Some other crystals I like to recommend for independence are Budd Stone, Golden Beryl, Iolite, Ocean Jasper, and Jade, and Chrysocolla makes an excellent personal power stone, especially chrysocolla with quartz.
You might be left wondering how your sister should work with these crystals. One suggestion is meditation. A fifteen minute meditation session each night with a rose quartz on her chest will help to gradually heal the trauma left in her emotional body. Another suggestion - and the one I always recommend above all the others - is throwing these crystals into a mojo bag with some dried herbs of your choosing and a few drops of essential oil. The mojo bag can then be carried with her everywhere she goes. You could also make any of these crystals into elixirs (see my blog post on this.) Chrysocolla, however, is not elixir-safe due to its copper content, but the rest should be fine. Just use the indirect method of elixir-making if you're nervous (or, skip the elixir and work with the crystals in a mojo bag, body layouts, or meditation.)
So I certainly hope this was helpful to this questioner and anyone else who may have been wondering about useful crystals for relationship break-ups. Don't forget to send me your own questions through twitter (@crystalwitch6), and I will give an in-depth response here on the blog. Thanks for stopping ~
