This article is about protection crystals for empaths. Crystals are an essential tool in the spiritual individual’s repertoire.
Able to attract, store, and emit energy, crystals can be items that guide, boost confidence, or provide protection.
There are hundreds of different types of crystals that can help all of us through the infinite challenges of daily life.
Empaths are individuals who are often in need of protection from nefarious or draining energies that if left unchecked may sap their resources and impact greatly upon their spiritual, emotional, mental, or even physical health.
It’s worth noting that this article won’t go into detail on what an empath is, but you can find a wealth of information about the defining characteristics and struggles of empaths here.
Instead, this article will explore the best choices for protection crystals that empaths can use to prevent factors such as empath fatigue, toxic relationships, and the impacts of being targeted by energy vampires.
The 7 Best Protection Crystals for Empaths
The following crystals have been selected because they can each offer something which targets experiences most commonly felt by empaths.
These crystals may be worn or carried on the person for protection but may also be used during meditation, or in a place of recharging such as the home.
1. Citrine
Citrine (you may also have heard this referred to as ‘gold topaz’) is a crystal that is yellow-to-orange in color.
It is commonly known as the ‘success stone’ and is known to be infused with balancing and healing energy.
Citrine is known to echo the warm, healing energy of the sun and therefore provides reassuring warmth as a blanket or hot water bottle might.
This feature can be really helpful to empaths going through a stressful period outside of their control that they can’t distance themselves from such as family illness or bereavement as it can provide the soothing energy needed to ‘get through the day’ until the empath can retreat to a space to recharge and recover.
On a similar vein Citrine is also known to control energy flow and provides a steady, centering force.
This is particularly useful for manifestation practices, and empaths may find it helpful to charge a Citrine crystal with the positive or recharging energy they need to cope with the current challenges in their lives.
Citrine also has great restorative properties and is like a cup of coffee for the spiritual soul, bringing energy and recharging the empaths vital energy reserves.
Those with previous experience of energy vampires may worry that using Citrine may make them a beacon to future energy vampires due to the extra energy they will emit.
However, Citrine is a protective stone that grounds empaths and gives them the energy to see those in their life objectively, and can therefore spot, distance, or remove themselves from perceived energy vampires.
2. Amethyst
Amethyst is a purple stone which is very popular with empaths because of the powerful protection it offers.
Amethyst is a high-frequency stone that creates a protective aura around the user, safeguarding the individual’s energy reserves.
As we’ve learned from previous articles, the empath’s energy reserves are the source of their power, it is what they draw from to attune and connect with others, trigger their powerful insight, and channel their creative flow.
Therefore, the protective shield offered by Amethyst can be immeasurably valuable, and ideal for empaths whose work or life leads them to encounter many people throughout the day, such as an office worker, retail assistant, or a college student.
It can also be a boon to empaths who find themselves in a position of care, such as doctors, nurses, or persons caring for a relative, and can help prevent empathic fatigue and burnout.
Shielding isn’t all that Amethyst can offer, however.
Just like the flower lavender, whose color echoes that of the Amethyst, this stone offers gentle relaxing energy which can help empaths to spiritually recover after an emotionally straining and taxing day.
Amethyst in the home helps to shed stress and draw out negative energy, making way for positive energy and harmonious balance.
3. Black Tourmaline
Black Tourmaline is opaque black and has lots of benefits for empaths.
It is a highly protective stone and can effortlessly cleanse negative energy and destructive forces.
This makes Black Tourmaline the perfect defensive tool for empaths at risk of or worried about being targeted by energy vampires.
Like Citrine, Black Tourmaline is also a grounding stone and can help an empath center themselves and tap into their powerful intuition to spot those in their life that mean them emotional or spiritual harm.
Black Tourmaline can also be used to help…
