Gemstone Combinations for De-Stressing

Work, home life, financial, relationship and health stress can take a toll emotionally, physically, psychologically and spiritually. People often eliminate the symptoms and not the point of stress. Perhaps we feel we cannot do anything about what is causing the stress in the first place. Maybe we feel trapped in our jobs, we can’t get more money without getting another job and we don’t have time for that job, perhaps we have just had a new child or we are helping out a sick spouse or relative. We do have choices … but depending on the circumstance, we may not want to make a wrong or bad decision because someone other than ourselves may be hurt or affected. These life issues can cause a major amount of stress which may lead to disease.

After a traumatic episode, we may need psychological healing in addition to a possible physical as well as spiritual curative. Take the case of an automobile accident in which we were the injured driver and a passenger in our car dies. Even if the accident were not our fault, we still have guilt and anguish over the death of the passenger. This is when we need to heal the whole person ­ - emotionally, physically, psychologically and spiritually.

In the past I would suggest one stone that would help the symptom but not address the actual issue. It would be like putting a bandage on the situation when it may need stitches to heal properly. A combination of stones should be used to address the different facets of the dis-ease or trauma. I have intuitively combined easily available gemstones for the most common stress factors we face. I would recommend having a salt lamp (or two or three) placed in your bedroom, office or any living area where you wish to encourage peace and harmony as well as good health and clean air since it emits negative ions.

Job Stress– Rose Quartz, Clear Quartz, Fluorite, Chiastolite, Carnelian, Blue Lace Agate

Financial Stress – Citrine, Jade, Garnet, Apache Tear, Chalcedony

Relationships – Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Carnelian, Black Tourmaline, Clear Quartz, Blue Lace Agate

Health – Selenite, Calcite (Green in particular), Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Seraphinite

Spiritual Disconnection – Angelite, Seraphinite/Chlorite, Kyanite, Apophyllite, Amethyst, Sulfur

These are just some examples that can work for anyone. Just like we have different energy fields, blood types, personalities and chemical make-ups, we still have a lot in common and, like reading a general horoscope, that will be true for a lot of people, it will be way off the mark for others. It is always best to see what stones you are attracted to and what would work best for your uniqueness. Substitute any stone that doesn’t feel right. I know that some people will be disappointed that I didn’t include descriptions of these stone combinations but I believe that part of the therapy is to work with these stones or see what you are drawn to and then read why you are drawn to them.
