Here's a few crystals to assist stress around the holidays... Take your Citrine when you go shopping to find what you need at a price you can easily afford. Citrine works to synchronistically bring you to the right place at the right time so you can be done quickly and effortlessly. Aquamarine is wonderful when you need to take a break from everything to destress and relax, even if you just hold it for a few minutes behind closed doors. No one needs to know ;) Hold or wear Fluorite for focus and mental clarity when you make your lists and are getting organized. Fluorite is excellent when you find yourself procrastinating and putting off your necessary tasks. Wearing it during shopping expeditions and holiday travel may also help you stay healthy in a crowded environment, since it strengthens the immune system. Carnelian is a perfect crystal to hold when you feel unmotivated. It renews excitement, spurs creativity, and supports analytical thinking, so that you are not bogged down by details when planning a party, but rather inspired by your creative vision and anticipation of the joyful event. Botswana Agate (especially a peachy colored one) may assist when you need to go to a party you are not looking forward to, for whatever reason. It would help you enjoy yourself no matter what the circumstances by attracting positive energy to you. Carry or wear Black Tourmaline, since the stress level of many people can be high during this time, and you want to make sure you are grounded and protected so that possible negative energy of others has no chance of affecting you. Meditate with Lepidolite before going to bed for restful sleep. Write down all of what still needs to be done - your thoughts and your ideas for the rest of the holiday week - on a piece of paper and let your mind relax. Hold Apophyllite when you feel you need a little extra help from the Divine to accomplish all that you want. A heartfelt gratitude for all that you do have and have been able to do is an important step on the road towards accomplishing more.
