Amethyst
Amethyst is one of the most well-known crystals for helping
break addictive tendencies and fostering positive routines.
Amethyst is known as an “anti-drunkenness” stone, and was
used to make wine goblets in Ancient Rome to prevent
inebriation.
This stone can help improve your will-power and ability to say “no” to
situations or habits that don’t serve you in the long run. What feels good
today might make for a really crummy tomorrow, so allow this stone to help
you stay focused on the endgame, and make the best of the journey along
the way.
Staurolite
Staurolite is a mineral that resembles a cross, and
thusly it was given the nickname of the “fairy cross.”
This stone is excellent at helping you release things,
whether they be relationships, situations or habits
that no longer serve your higher purpose.
This stone gives you the power and the bravery to let
go of any negative traits that you might feel you can’t
live without.
Chrysocolla
Chrysocolla is a gentle stone that encourages gentleness
within yourself. It’s twice as hard to let go of bad habits when
you’re being too hard on yourself; this stone encourages you
to see the good within, and acknowledge the hard work
you’ve done to get where you are.
This stone prevents you from acting out of fear, which is
where many of our negative routines are created: the well of fear within. This
stone helps you empty that well and replace it with the relieving waters of
faith.
Onyx
Onyx is a smooth stone that is black as night. This stone
banishes and thwarts negative energy, allowing your space to
be filled with positive vibes. This stone, like amethyst, also
boosts will-power and helps you make better decisions that
work for the best in the long run.
