Do you do the whole New Years intention-setting thing? 

What about vision boards, goal setting, or quarterly planning?

You don’t need to do the big vision boards if that doesn't align with you! Even if doing really anything after the holidays feels exhausting, try to give yourself some time to reflect on the year that has just passed. Give yourself some grace for the mistakes, and some kudos for the achievements. 

Think about, even for a few minutes, what you would like 2023 to look like. 

Is it more money? What about bigger, deeper love? Maybe just some calm..

Just having a few words or mini-goals that represent what you would like your year to feel like can be a big perspective shift on how you start 2023, as well as how you will continue to move through it.

If You Want Calm In 2023

🧘Calm: Amethyst, Jade, Apophyllite, Lepidolite, Smoky Quartz 

 

Smoky Quartz

Smoky quartz is a stone of grounding and protection. If you are feeling scattered, unfocused or anxious, it can help to ground your energy. This makes smoky quartz a great stone to use during meditation. It will help you stay focused on the present moment without allowing yourself to drift off into daydreams or worries about the future.

It also helps with concentration, likely due to its ability to ground you in the present moment so that you can focus on one thing at a time instead of everything at once!

 

Apophyllite

Apophyllite is an incredibly high-vibration stone that is commonly sourced in clear or white. The rarest color is pink.

This is a stone that wants connection – to yourself, your soul, and to higher consciousness. It clears the way for this connection, leaving a calm and peaceful vibration in its wake. Apophyllite is known for enhancing psychic abilities and connections to spirit.

Use this stone if you want to deepen your spiritual practise this year, forging a connection with yourself and the universe. Other energetic properties of Apophyllite include interdimensional awareness, vibrational attunement, and a rebalancing of your energy field.

Lepidolite

This is the ultimate calm in a stone. Lepidolite wants you to take a second and breathe. It is stabilizing and provides a much-needed energetic reset. 

It can clear blockages and create vibrational pathways to connect and heal within yourself. Lepidolite also wants to teach you how to cope and mage difficult emotions on your own - it is not a bandaid solution. It creates self-love and self-compassion so that you can weather the storm and then create your own umbrella for the next one.

Lepidolite is a master at nervous system regulation and one you should definitely have in your repertoire if you want to focus on calm for the new year. 

 

Amethyst

This purple powerhouse is one of the most visually appealing, due to its pastel to vivid shades and crystalline forms. The energetic properties of Amethyst include abundance, increased intuition, stress relief, and transmutation of negative energy. 

Amethyst is a purple crystal that helps to bring calm and relaxation. It's a soothing stone that can help with stress and anxiety and works to smooth out energetic imbalances. If you feel yourself starting to become more anxious, you can quickly come back to yourself with this stone.

It is also a great crystal to remind you of your own inner strength and your ability to push through stressful or turbulent emotions.  Amethyst also helps you stay calm in stressful situations. If you are in the middle of holiday arguments or tense moments, Amethyst can also cast an aura of protection so that you do not absorb the negativity that may be in the space. 

If you're having trouble falling asleep at night because of holiday stress, try keeping an amethyst stone under your pillow for its relaxing properties. Amethyst is one of the most recommended crystals to help with creating deep, restful sleep.
