We all endure it.

We all want less of it.

Most of us are on the lookout for new and easy ways to kick it to the curb.

We're talking about stress. And for those of us who enjoy natural remedies, the amethyst crystal is one of the best solutions on this planet.

In general, crystal therapy is a natural way to reduce stress and anxiety in your life without any negative side effects.

Natural amethyst is well-known for its calming and relaxing properties, making it one of the best, if not the number one crystal for managing stress. It provides such a wide range of soothing properties that it can crush every aspect of stress in our lives.

Before we get into how we can use natural amethyst to reduce stress, let's first take a look at 16 ways it reduces stress in our lives.

16 Ways to Use Natural Amethyst to Relieve Stress

1) To Balance the Emotions

Amethyst balances the emotions so that we experience fewer lows and fewer highs. With a more neutral set of emotions, we experience stress differently, and it doesn't affect us as much.

2) To Release Negative Emotions

Natural amethyst helps us let go of anger, rage, grief, fear, and sadness, all of which add to our stress. By releasing those negative emotions, there is less to stress about and more to enjoy in our lives.

3) To Improve Our Moods

When we are in the presence of the soothing energy of natural amethyst, we find that feelings of irritability and mood swings drift away, leaving us to wonder what we were stressing over. We are able to put things in perspective and approach life in a more compassionate way.

4) To Improve Our Patience

As we take in the calming energy of the amethyst stone, it helps us naturally feel more patient. Since stress is often the result of impatience and frustration, our stress subsides as our patience improves.

5) To Make Us Peaceful

Natural amethyst promotes inner peace, helping us approach the situations and people in our lives from a more peaceful state. That type of interaction and state of mind is sure to ease the stress in our lives! And there is no reason to worry that it will calm you too much to be able to get things done because it has the uncanny ability to calm or stimulate as needed (yet even the stimulated energy is somehow calm).

6) To Make Us Strong

Natural amethyst also helps us tap into our inner strength, something that helps us pull through stressful situations without feeling as much anxiety.

7) To Improve Thoughts About Ourselves

The amethyst stone melts away our self-defeating thoughts so that we are left to think about ourselves in a more healthy, confident way. Since a lot of our stress can come from feeling inadequate and unworthy, this benefit can decrease the stress in our lives that is related to those self-defeating thoughts.

8) To Reduce Depression & Assist With Addictions

Amethyst is known as the stone of sobriety because of its ability to assist us in letting go of our addictions. It helps us self-soothe instead of turning to unhealthy habits, and it gives us the power to fight depression and the blues. Both of these benefits help us experience less stress in our lives.

9) To Reduce Migraines & Tension Headaches

Not only does natural amethyst help actively reduce stress in our lives, but it also works on the symptoms that stress brings on, such as migraines and tension headaches.

10) To Cleanse the Aura

When we are near the high vibrations of natural amethyst, it can repair and cleanse our auras, which are susceptible to negative energy. As we experience such a cleansing, much of the stuck negative energy that we've been carrying around with us is lifted, and we feel immediately lighter and more uplifted.

11) To Transmute Negative Energy Into Love

Not only does amethyst cleanse the aura of negativity, but it also has the amazing power to transmute all negative energy into love. In that way, it protects us from psychic attack, harm, and anything negative in our lives. Not only does it protect us, but it also changes the negativity into love, which is the highest frequency emotion in the world. No wonder it dissolves stress so easily from our lives!

12) To Promote a Healthy Nervous System

Natural amethyst helps our neural signals work more efficiently and in a more balanced state, which makes the nervous system function more efficiently. With a healthy nervous system, stress is easily managed in our lives.

13) To Reduce Insomnia

Insomnia is something many people suffer from as a result of stress, but it can also cause stress since it decreases the amount of sleep we are able to get. Amethyst settles an overactive mind and helps us enjoy a full night of sleep. It also protects against nightmares and helps us understand and remember our dreams.

14) To Reduce Electromagnetic Stress

Electromagnetic stress is negative electromagnetic energy in the atmosphere that is caused by electronics and power lines. Since our lives include the use of so many electronics these days, we are dramatically affected by the energy they put out. Amethyst has the ability to absorb those electromagnetic energies, which improves our health and reduces the amount of stress we feel.

15) To Improve Meditation

Natural amethyst quiets the mind and helps us meditate, which also reduces stress and helps the mind, body, and spirit stay balanced. Meditation provides us with a tranquil mind that allows for deeper connection with the higher self and more profound understandings and self-discoveries, all of which reduces the stress in our lives. Meditating next to a large amethyst geode often provides a transformative experience.

16) To Increase Motivation

By giving us a boost of motivation, amethyst helps us move forward and attain our dreams. When we feel motivated, our tasks feel lighter and easier, making life less stressful. Amethyst also promotes mental focus, allowing us to have greater clarity and a clear path to obtain our vision.

As you can see, natural amethyst reduces the negative effects of stress on the body, mind, and spirit. With its soothing energy, panic transforms into calm nerves; worry turns into a hopeful attitude; overwhelm and confusion become clarity and focus; chaos leads to strength; and crisis inspires flexibility and common sense.

Now that you know all the different ways natural amethyst helps to prevent and manage stress in our lives, let's look at some specific ways to use it to enjoy those benefits.

11 Ways to Use Natural Amethyst to Relieve Stress

1) Place Amethyst in Your Bedroom

Because of the soothing properties of natural amethyst, one of the best places to use it is in the bedroom. It will help you quiet your mind and enjoy a restful night's sleep.

Meditation is one of the best things we can do for our health and well-being, and it is probably the best thing we can do to relieve stress.

3) Practice the Purple Meditation

The purple meditation helps us engage our imagination during meditation to kiss stress goodbye. It's really simple; sit in the way that is most comfortable for you and hold a tumbled amethyst stone or a small amethyst cluster in your hand. As you begin to slow your breath, imagine soothing purple light from the amethyst entering your body through the top of your head and slowly pouring down into every part of the body. With each breath in, take in more purple healing light. With each breath out, imagine dark negative energy leaving the body through your mouth.
