Kyanite is a great healing crystal for anxiety relief.
Its energies control all those anxiety-inducing activities and situations that lead to panic attacks. It first soothes your ‘fight-or-flight’ response and then provides relief from stress. This crystal eases all those symptoms that are directly associated with anxiety, such as stomach-churning, the tense of muscles, and loss of confidence.

5 – Rose Quartz
We love this healing stone as it is the real foundation of all true personal powers.
The effect of Rose Quartz on a human’s psyche is amazing. Its color and a nice bit of sparkle are more than enough to alleviate the symptoms of anxiety. It distracts your thoughts and compels you to interact with your energy differently.
Apart from this, it emits strong vibrations of unconditional love that pushes others to treat you with respect and admiration.
It attracts the kind of love that helps prevent toxic situations.
How To Use It: For anxiety, you need to hold Rose Quartz in your left hand and meditate for a few minutes. Take a couple of deep breaths and think about the best moments in your life. Repeating positive affirmations and imagining beautiful outcomes will work like magic.
Conclusion
Trust your intuition a little when it comes to opting for the right healing stone for anxiety.
Choose the stone that feels good with your energy and makes you feel calm. Sometimes two stones will offer the same benefits, but affect two people differently due to their specific chakra conditions and personalities. Your mindset and feeling are more important than generalized advice, even from experts. All the above healing stones work well for chaotic, worried, and anxiety-ridden thoughts, but you must experiment to find the right one for you.
They are great for all those who want to stay anchored in a place of serenity. Which healing stone or stones did you end up choosing, and how has it helped your anxiety?
