Looking for F.R.I.E.N.D.S?- Jade.
New beginnings are definitely exciting, but the thought of leaving our old lives behind and embarking on a new adventure can be, well…terrifying! Sometimes all we want are true friends by our side to help us through the process. That’s why the first stone you need this academic year is Jade; a protective stone that attracts good luck and friendship. It grounds the spirit and promotes self-sufficiency while raising your vibrations. Jade relaxes the overactive mind and relieves any negative thoughts. Sounds great right? It is! So what are you waiting for? Treat yourself to a Jade stone and sign up to Her Campus today! I can personally guarantee that you will make some amazing new friends.
Anxious about ‘the new normal’? Sodalite.
Starting college can be stressful enough without having the added pressure of COVID-19. Between masks, social distancing and close contacts, it is normal to feel anxious, and your feelings are completely valid. Perhaps some crystal healing is exactly what you need to relieve some of this anxiety. Sodalite eases panic attacks and calms the mind. It is used to defuse stressful situations and enhances self-confidence. It’s going straight in my basket!
Goddess Stone. PeriodT.
If you want to channel your inner Goddess and embark on an autumn glow up this semester, then the Goddess stone is perfect for you. Its vibrant properties enhance creativity, confidence and enable fulfilment. The Goddess stone also encourages spontaneity and will help you make the most of your college experience. This stone received its name for a good reason; it encapsulates the essence of a Goddess- inner strength, confidence and enhanced femininity. A definite must-have for all you Queens!
Looking for all-around ‘good vibes’? Amethyst.
Amethyst, aka, the ‘all-purpose stone’, is perfect for anyone starting their spiritual journey. Its protective properties activate spiritual awareness. Amethyst attracts positive people, situations and opportunities, which is exactly what we want this year! It also enhances the immune system and reduces stress. It is a great crystal to start your collection off with.
Want to live your best life? Kimberlite.
Your college years are the best years of your life, yet they go by so fast. If there is one piece of advice I could give all you ambitious first years, it would be to live in the moment. The best crystal to achieve this is Kimberlite. This stone grounds chakras, ensures the fulfilment of dreams and brings about true happiness. It will promote meditational states and establish a new level of consciousness; exactly what you will need in order to stay present and live your best life!
College can be tough, especially after a year of online learning. But together with our crystals, we are going to make this academic year the best one yet!
