For all those empaths out there, we have rounded up a collection of powerful crystals to help keep you untangled from other people’s emotions.
The must-have stones ground yourself
- Empaths are highly sensitive and can be energy sponges
- Crystals can help ground you and protect you
Empaths are highly sensitive people. This can be a beautiful thing as it helps you to stay deeply connected to your humanity and means that you are able to form deep everlasting bonds with others and even call on the power of healing to help those you love, spread positive energy, and overall make the world a better place. We need empaths. Yet, as all those empaths out there may know all too well, sometimes it can be a curse. Along with heartfelt connections, being an empath means you are often cracked wide open for receiving all those negative emotions floating around too.
As empaths are energy sponges, you may find yourself soaking up the toxic vibes of other people, mopping up moodiness, and finding yourself propelled back and forward as though led by the energy of others. Not only can this be exhausting but it can also lead to feeling like you have no agency and are at the whim of other people. Having crystal healing stones that strengthen the root chakra and keep you grounded and surrounded by your own energy field can be an important way of keeping yourself safe and protected.
Find the right crystal for you
Whether you crave protective stones that help you to forge and keep boundaries or if you are looking to stand back and be protected from the impact of negative vibes, there are plenty of earthly root crystals out there that can help you to stay grounded. There are also crystals that bring the healing properties of cleansing the body and the aura, creating an auric field to shield you from EMF’s, and bringing a consistent connection to your own sense of joy and wellbeing so you can stay constant and thrive, no matter what the world around you is doing. Here are some of the best crystals for empaths:
