Bliss begins on the inside, HOWEVER, there are a few exterior trappings that can help you balance your inner-badass. Crystals have a vibrational composition that resonates specifically with chakras in your energy system. Each of these little vortices (seven all together) are where universal energy flows through your body and helps keep your emotional system happy and healthy. ENHANCE YOUR HOME WITH THESE CRYSTALS:

OBSIDIAN Obsidian is a volcanic gem that has a glassy, black appearance. It’s grounding and stabilizing capabilities work directly with your root chakra, the base of your energetic system. If the foundation of your house is lopsided, the rest of it will be, too, and that’s why you should start at the bottom.

Obsidian helps release stress and tension, brings mental clarity, and helps dissolve emotional traumas. Using obsidian to balance your root chakra will help you release the most basic and primal fears around issues of safety and abundance. It’s also known to kill white walkers, if you’re a Game of Thrones fan.

Clear Quartz Clear quartz may seem like the most common of all crystals - you see it just about everywhere - but it’s also one of the most powerful, as it has the ability to amplify the energy of any other crystal.

Using clear quartz to form crystal grids around other stones will amp up their vibrational potential. It’s also highly effective at transmuting energy and storing energy. It’s your allpurpose go-to crystal that everybody should have!

ROSE QUARTZ You can’t talk about crystals for bliss without mentioning rose quartz, as it’s probably the most commonly thought of stone for happiness and love.

!

Rose quartz is for the heart chakra, and it’s comforting, healing energy works on any emotional wounds residing in this energy center. Rose quartz is excellent for helping you release emotional pain, bring in more self love, dissolve sorrows, worry and anxiety.

I keep a nice sized chunk of rose quartz on my nightstand for happy dreams when I’m having trouble releasing tough emotions, I like to sleep with it on my chest.

Amethyst Moving on up top, amethyst is a stone typically associated with your crown chakra - the very top of your energetic system. Amethyst promotes peacefulness and brings the emotional body through loss and grief. It’s an excellent stone for contentment and happiness and brings about emotional stability and inner strength.

Amethyst is also a fabulous stone for abundance as well as a stress reliever, so I like to wear an amethyst necklace, particularly when I’m in high-stress business environments.
