Five Favorite Gemstones for Staying Stress-free

Have you ever found yourself or someone else grouchy, even on their summer vacation? People who do not let go of built-up stress or anxiety often cannot relax and enjoy all that life has to offer.
Choosing the right gemstones can help keep us balanced through any seasonal or life changes. We are attracted to certain gemstones because of the needs of our personal energy field at any given time. While yoga and meditation helps us stay centered, gemstones can fine-tune emotional anomalies that are deeper on a physical-emotional level.
What kind of stress is in your life at this moment? In its various forms, stress can range from anxiety and depression to sadness and worry. Stress can be summed up as not feeling “normal” or feeling “negative.” When negative currents flow through our body for a long time, they can cause serious health problems like heart disease and high blood pressure.
It’s easier than you think to turn back into the real you, the feel-good positive person you were born to be. The important thing is to act quickly because the longer you let yourself stay in a stressed-depressed state, the harder it is to get out. The good news here is reducing stress is as simple as wearing a gemstone.
Here are the top 5 gemstone for a happy, stress free season:
1. Tiger’s Eye
This is a great gemstone from uniting the earth and fire elements, thus balancing female (earth) and male (sun) energy and allowing us to stay centered.

2. Rose Quartz
Get a heart-shaped rose quartz stone to express your loving feelings. The stone helps release stress by building personal relationships and aiding in healing emotions. Carry this stone with you and you will start seeing beauty everywhere while you put behind any negative thoughts or feelings.
3. Chrysanthemum
