Crystals of Courage

When we're faced with a new challenge, it can be scary to take a leap into the unknown. In spite of the desire we have to achieve our goals or improve our lives in some way, stepping out of our comfort zone is a big thing, and it requires mental courage to face the fear that can arise when facing uncertainty. Feelings of not being good enough are often more than enough to keep us right where we are.

As I can attest to personally from experiences that have lasted a decade or more, it's not just the mental anguish that can curb our courage. Dealing with physical pain and knowing you have to endure hard times to reach an end goal also requires us to dig deep to keep forging forward. Nobody likes the idea of experiencing more pain when already caught up in that cycle, but courage helps us to remain focused on the results.

Whatever is discouraging you, there is always a crystal vibration that seeks to help us and the crystals below are ones that I have used personally and with clients to help them build the courage to step forward, to focus the mind in the positive, and to take one step at a time, in spite of fear.

Lepidolite
Courage is not the absence of fear, it's the mastery of it. Moving forward in spite of it, and lepidolite is my go-to crystal for mastering fear. When you feel totally paralysed by the prospect of change or challenge, when the negative effects of anxiety read the head to the fullest, lepidolite will help to bring your focus into the present moment. By doing this, you reduce the stress about the future, and past experiences which may be creating the fear of moving forward.

Carnelian
Resonating very strongly with our lower chakras, the areas of our physical self and personal power, carnelian encourages us to be confident in our actions. It allows us to face our fears and take action creating positive energy that supports us in our desires. It strengthens the physical body, and so can help us with physical courage, when we know we have to endure something that may not be pleasant, but is necessary to move forward.

Gold Tiger's Eye
Encouraging us to release fear, gold tiger's eye strengthens our personal willpower so that we can focus on the end goal, taking control over the fear. It helps us to be totally committed to our purpose, stimulating energy where it's needed to move forward with determination and motivation.

Pietersite
Known as the 'Tempest Stone', pietersite is an extremely strong crystal that brings energy to body and mind. It stirs up positive emotions so that we can connect to them more strongly to create change in our lives. Bringing courage and willpower, we become more determined to reach our goals.

Bloodstone
A stone of bravery and courage, bloodstone raises our confidence and self-esteem, utilising your spiritual power to feel grounded and safe as you make decisions about your future. The calming energy it emits, brings strength on a mental and emotional level, but also on a moral level. This can help us to remain strong in our convictions and to do what we 'know' to be 'right'.

Carrying crystals can help remind us of our inner strength, of the results that we desire, helping us to shift our thinking into the positive. When we have courage to meet the challenges ahead of us, we can overcome them and begin to see just how strong we are.

You are courageous.

Love, as always
