CRYSTALS FOR BURNOUT

The top 10 crystals for burnout, to help you cope, rebuff negative energy and support you with your recovery.

1. Pink Opal for deep soothing and tranquil vibrations. This is an amazing “worry stone” to keep in your pocket and fiddle with it when you feel overwhelmed. It emits such gentle, calming energy it is a genuine
  soul soother.
2. Lepidolite is used frequently to manage anxiety. One of the best mood stabilizers in the world of gemstones, it contains a high amount of lithium, which is also used in anti-anxiety medication. Good to keep
  with you at all times.
3. Amethyst to aid sleep and recovery. When you are recovering from burnout, being able to sleep is an amazing healer. Your brain is at breaking point and getting some quality zzz’s really helps. Place a raw
  Amethyst cluster on your bedside table or a smooth tumbled Amethyst under your pillow to promote relaxation. Allow its gentle vibrations to generate a deeply calming sensation and give you psychic protection as you dream.
4. Blue Lace Chalcedony to calm your mind and aid open communication. When you are in burnout or recovering from one, communication can be difficult. It’s like your brain has turned to mush and its hard to tell
  people what you really want or need. This crystal should be used to help the flow of thoughts through your mind, allowing you to speak with clarity and confidence.
5. Smoky Quartz to help you stay focused and keep stress at bay. This is an extremely grounding crystal. When things seem totally out of your control it helps you to stay balanced and grounded. You can try
  meditating with this crystal outside sitting on the earth to help rebalance your brainwaves and ground your energy.
6. Fluorite for balance and to stop toxic overthinking. One of the best crystals to keep your unhelpful brain in check. When you feel your thoughts wandering down a path of self-doubt, worry and stress, pick up
  your Fluorite and allow it to give your brain a mental slap to get itself pulled together and stop overthinking and making your stress worse.
7. Ocean Jasper for nurturing vibrations, connecting you back to nature. One of the best healing solutions for burnout is getting out into nature. Take a walk, smell the fresh air, hear the birds and indulge in
  a bit of zen forest bathing. If you can’t quite make it to the woods then Ocean Jasper is the next best thing. It helps you connect to your inner need to hunt and gather in green forests when life was simple. That feeling of
  being at one with nature, and in harmony with your tribe. It lets you focus on the basic tasks of life, sleeping and eating so you can get a natural rhythm back into your life.
8. Black Obsidian as protection against negativity and fire energy to burn through the confusion. As soon as you feel yourself thinking negative thoughts pick up your obsidian and let it give you a shot in the
  arm of its hot firey energy. It’s just the boost you need to shed that negativity and feel more self-confident in yourself and your decision making abilities.
9. Black Tourmaline to stop you from absorbing others negative energy and protection against electromagnetic smog from laptops, computers and mobile phones. Your burnout may well have come from dealing with
  toxic co-workers or spending too much time working super hard. Black Tourmaline will help you rebuff this negative energy from nasty people as well as taking away the unnatural energy waves that surround us in modern life.
  Hypersensitive people are often most affected by people and energy so having a crystal ward to protect you will help.
10. Rose Quartz to remind you to love yourself. When you have a burnout it can be hard to remember to love yourself. Feel worthy. Rose Quartz reminds us that we are loved unconditionally and is that emotional
  support you need to get over this difficult period in your life. It emits soothing energy which helps us have hope for the future (post burnout)

I’m going to add a number 11 to this list. Sodalite – this is a fabulous crystal if you are having panic attacks associated with your burn out. Use it at the point of feeling overwhelmed to calm your breathing and avert the worst of the waves of panic.

During our own burnouts, we used a particular trio of crystals which helped us immensely to recover; Pink Opal, Black Obsidian and Epidote in Prehnite. There was an instant connection with this group of crystals which others are now finding for themselves. We created The Recovery Crystal Kit with these crystals and it has continued to be one of our bestsellers for burnout sufferers.
