Amethyst - magical properties and uses

Have you been to a crystal shop and suddenly, a deep purple crystal, lightly painted with white clouds, caught your eye? Or maybe you fell in love with a soft lavender gem? In both cases, you can be sure - it was an Amethyst!

Make it stand out

Amethyst is known for its interesting past - it was a symbol of power and beauty. The Greeks used the crystal against overeating and alcohol consumption. Until this day, the stone is connected to sobriety and consciousness. The ancient Egyptians believed that wearing amethyst would banish guilt, fear, and ensure safety for travelers.
This is how you can use this purple stone in your modern, busy life:

Healing properties

The Amethyst is one of the most powerful crystals when it comes to healing - both emotional and physical. Of course, it could never replace a visit to the doctor’s office, but it can help with some mild cases of anxiety, panic attacks, and even OCD. You can hold it in your hand, wear it as jewelry, or meditate on it when irritability and stress rise to restore your mental and spiritual balance. It acts as a neutralizer during tense situations such as conflicts in the workplace.

Amethyst Detox qualities

Due to its body-cleansing abilities, amethyst could also be used for detoxification. It promotes cleansing of the body from the inside out, helps to open the chakras, purify the blood and remove toxins from the body. Just place a large druse of this crystal near you - on the nightstand, on the table, or wherever you choose in the room - and its energy will reach you.

Amethyst for protection

Amethyst also has protective properties. It cleanses the aura and protects against mental attacks and negative energy. Instead of just protecting you from negativity by returning it to the sender, the crystal transforms it into love. So you can be sure that you not only have a powerful shield but a true source of love and positive vibes.

Sweet dreams with amethyst

Amethyst is especially useful for people suffering from recurring nightmares. If you are afraid that once you close your eyes, you will again fall into a terrible dream or nightmare, then it is definitely time to buy an amethyst. Before going to bed, hold an Amethyst stone on your forehead and "program" it for its new task by telling it (you can lightly whisper to it) what needs to be done - to help your mind safely go through the phases of sleep. Then put it under the pillow and get ready for sweet dreams.

Intuition

The magical energy of this beautiful purple stone is powerful and unique. It can very effectively increase a person's vibration, which in itself leads to an intensification of intuition. It has been used as a favorite accessory by fortune tellers and people who deal with divination in any form.
