What is Depression?

Depression is a mental health condition in which a person experiences persistent sadness, lost of interest, certain hopelessness and displeasure to the extend that it starts affecting your daily functioning, life, relationships and ability to perform. It is more than feeling down or blue and is rooted in you genetically, biologically, through a chronic disease or any significant life event that may have causes you trauma or loss.

Therapy, medication and certain lifestyle changes that include regular workouts, healthy food and a much needed supported system can manage depression.

How Do Crystals Stones Work to Ease Depression 

Each crystal is believed to have its own unique properties owing to its unique constitution, colour and associated vibrations and energies. When these crystals are worn or kept around you intentionally, they interact with the energy system of your body that is the chakras and if the chakras are imbalanced, the crystals help to restore them by aiding energy flow.

Depression can occur when one or more of these chakras are imbalanced. So it is important to spend sometime to understand and identify the chakras that are blocked and causing depression along with other symptoms. Then use the crystals associated to that particular chakra can be used to aid your effort towards healing and eliminating the root cause of depression.

We elaborate how crystal healing for depression works -

Wear it in the form of jewellery

Place it around you

Make the crystals a part of your living space and channelise their energies to purify or charge the space you spend your most time at, quiet moments, restful hours or intense working hours.
