There are many crystals and stones gifted by Mother Earth that can bring positive healing energy into our life. They can be used to welcome in positive energy and to protect the body from holding onto negative energy. Protective stones are especially important for individuals (empaths) who are sensitive to other people's energies.
Empaths tend to unconsciously take on other people’s energies and emotions. They can feel positive and negative energy within others, and can have a heightened sense of sympathy. With this very unique and powerful ability can bring on emotions of feeling drained or overwhelmed by the energies surrounding other people.
Crystals/protective stones can be used to help block negative energies and keep the body safe from physically taking on that energy. They can also be used to cleanse the body of negative emotions taken on from those around you and welcome in peace and love.
Here are five protective stones that we recommend for empaths.
