Top 10 Spiritual Benefits of Amethyst

One of the most famous crystals with metaphysical properties is Amethyst. This beloved crystal with purple to pink coloration, contains traces of iron and various minerals which can vary, lending each crystal a different coloration and hue.

History of Amethyst

While the Neolithic people in Europe it as a mere decorative emblem around 25,000 B.C., Ancient Greeks and Romans used amethyst in several ways from beads in jewelry to amulets. The etymology of the word Amethyst is the Greek word Ametusthos, which means “without drunkenness.” Therefore, the Greeks used carved vessels made from the crystal with hope, that it would help prevent intoxication.

Amethyst and its Metaphysical Benefits

Because of its unique healing energy, amethyst has been used for a variety of health conditions throughout the ages. In the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui, amethyst symbolizes wealth and when placed in the wealth corner, amethyst can amplify the flow of prosperity into the home. When it comes to crystal therapy, Amethyst is considered as a vessel of healing energy. The crystal is known to rule the Crown Chakra, which is the chakra of spirituality.

Amethyst is known as one of the great problem-solver stones, and offers plenty of spiritual benefits:

Raises Our Vibration

The amethyst crystal houses potent energy that reverberates to its surroundings. So, as the crystal raises our vibrations, we also feel love and compassion for ourselves and others.

❖ ❖ ❖

Contentment

Considering that amethyst shares the color of our crown chakra, it helps us come closer to contentment or even just thinking or associating yourself with the idea of feeling full and satisfied. Spiritually speaking, as we come close to contentment, we also seek our higher state of consciousness that helps us calm and achieve a higher meditative state.

Third Eye Crown

Amethyst is an essential stone for the third eye chakra, which is the energy between our brows. It helps us open or develops our intuition and connect to the spirit. As we transcend, we also accelerate our psychic abilities.

Protection

Carrying it with you, especially wearing the stone, helps in purifying the aura from negative energy. It then creates a protective shield that also allows travelers to focus and have a clear mind. So, remember, bring your amethyst crystal with you wherever you go and don’t just leave it in your luggage.

Wisdom

As we achieve a clear mind, amethyst also brings wisdom and helps us become more understanding. Some of the greatest minds in history, such as Leonardo de Vinci, believed that the crystal also helps our intellects.

Mental Focus

With wisdom and a calm mind also comes greater mental focus. The crystal stimulates our minds to focus on the moment and helps us become more attuned to the things which are happening and allows us to see insights for the things to come.

If you are feeling down and need a creative boost, then the amethyst crystal is your best partner. Be inspired, create new ideas, or make your ideas come to life with the amethyst. You can do this by placing the crystal in your workplace or desk, or you can also wear an amethyst necklace to work or a meeting to experience a creative boost.

Decision Making

A focused mind, coupled with intuition and common sense, has healthier decision making processes.
