Crystals For Expecting Moms

How do crystals ensure the safety of moms and their babies throughout pregnancy?

Crystals are useful in unblocking energies in your chakras. Pregnant or not, your chakras (or energy centers) must stay open or balanced. Otherwise, you may experience physical ailments or emotional disturbances.

Healing crystals help you to manifest good and noble intentions for you and your child's life. They also protect you from negative energies, fill you with motherly wisdom, and boost your mental, emotional, and physical strength.

Below are the ideal crystals to work with and what they offer during pregnancy:

• Amethyst - For rest and spiritual connection. Amethyst reduces anxiety, fear, and panic in your system so you'll remain calm and steady until your day of delivery. This stone is also dubbed as a birthing tool which aligns your spirit with your experience.
• Angelite - For comfort and divine guidance. If you're feeling lost and alone, angelite will supply you with guidance and comfort. It will remind you of the strong female power you have within and unleash it throughout your pregnancy. Use it to receive relief and extra protection at any point.
• Malachite - For safe and healthy childbirth. You need a strong physical body and immunity from your pregnancy to your parenthood. Malachite will give these to you throughout your motherhood. The stone will serve as an elixir of strength, healing, and vitality for you and your baby. It's especially useful during the moment of birth itself.
• Carnelian - An all-purpose motherhood stone. This stone will also carry you throughout your pregnancy and parent life as it speeds up the healing of your organs, enhances your stamina, and pumps up your motivation to be a caring and nurturing mom. Bring your carnelian stone out in case you get overcome by fear and worry before your birthing process.
• Fluorite - Proper absorption of nutrients. In addition to filling you with positive energy, fluorite will aid your body in absorbing essential nutrients that you and your baby need. Fluorite will place you in a happy and peaceful disposition during this memorable pregnancy ride.
• Lepidolite - For consistent positive energy. Whether you need a mood booster or a stress reliever, lepidolite is your go-to crystal for that much needed positive energy. If your pregnancy journey is starting to stress you out, allow lepidolite to soothe you and get you going.
• Rose quartz - For a strong bond with your baby. As the ultimate love stone, rose quartz will fill your heart with unwavering compassion. It lets you tap into your radiant feminine energy and enhance your love connection with your unborn child. Rose quartz is also a great stone keeping worry and anxiety at bay.

Use these crystals either in your first or fourth trimester, or basically anytime you need a supportive energy source. They provide instant comfort even when you just hold them or press them against your body.

Motherhood is a wonderful thing, but it's not always a walk in the park.

At times, caring for a newborn and adjusting your entire life to accommodate your new responsibility can take a toll on your mental and physical health.
