GEMSTONES FOR WRITERS

When you’re a writer, you know that serious writing is full of ups, downs, distractions, achievement, and an entire roller coaster of other emotions. And, no matter who you are or what your genre, anybody who attempts to write will, at some point or another, get the dreaded "Writer’s Block".

Writer's Block seems to strike at the most random of times. Suddenly, your mind goes blank and you just sit there, staring at an empty page wondering whatever made you decide to become a writer while looking for anything that might help get you writing again. One thing you may be surprised to find is that certain crystals can aid you in overcoming writer’s block.

Wear them as jewellery, spread them around your writing space, meditate with them and even put a few under your pillow to help boost your creativity while you sleep.

**If learning about all of the different crystals seems like too much of a time-consuming effort, look at the colour of the gemstone. As a general rule of thumb, orange crystals boost your creative flow, blue crystals help with self-expression and communication, and clear crystals such as Quartz to help with clarity of thought.

TEN CRYSTALS THAT WILL HELP  WITH WRITER'S BLOCK

1. Sodalite    

Sodalite is a royal blue stone frequently marbled with white calcium. It’s often considered the writer’s stone as it removes mental blocks, increases creativity, wisdom, and luck (especially for writers). Wear sodalite jewellery or place it on the desk where you work. Any shape will do for the table, but a pyramid will amplify and focus your energy.

2. Blue Topaz    

Blue Topaz is the artist’s stone. It stimulates artistic inspiration and allows the expression of emotions. It’s great for all types of communication, including public speaking.

3. Kyanite      

Blue stones are linked with the blue Throat Chakra, which governs communication in all forms. Kyanite is known to bring balance to this chakra and helps you to get your point across effectively – whether spoken or written.  

4. Tigers eye     

Tigers eye is a symbol of strength and power, just like the animal it was named after. But it is also useful in building one’s confidence and directing thoughts and focus, skills that are very important to a writer.

Tiger’s Eye just loves to help break those creative blocks and get the words running freely again. It will help you deal with a cluttered mind and the overwhelming feelings that can accompany it. Tiger’s Eye assists in accomplishing goals, recognizing inner resources, and promoting clarity of intention. It can heal issues of self-worth, self-criticism, and blocked creativity.

 5. Carnelian   

Carnelian is a deep and fiery orange/red colour, linking to the Sacral Chakra and creativity and is known as a power stone that inspires courage. It can be a powerful imagination and creativity booster, which is great for breaking a creative block. In writing, it can help with your creative decision making by inspiring perception and confidence.

 6. Moonstone   

Moonstone is a powerful emotional stone. It is most known for enhancing a person’s intuition and psychic sensitivity. It can also act as a stress reliever and can help improve patience. Patience, though a less valued virtue, is a useful tool for writing.

7. Amethyst    

Amethyst is one of the most popular and recognizable stones. Even people who are not generally interested in crystals recognize it from its brilliant purple hue. It is great for both opening and clearing the mind. In creativity and writing, it helps invite inspiration.

8. Citrine   

Often known as a “money stone,” Citrine can help with more than just material goals. It is a motivator, confidence builder, and an energy booster. It acts like solid sunshine and welcomes happiness to the space around it. If you are working under a time crunch or are feeling a little down during your work, it may help to write with citrine nearby. Citrine will work in a similar way to Carnelian, and also really boosts your confidence (useful when you’ve had a string of rejection letters and you think you suck). 

9. Celestite   

Celestite is explicitly known as a creative and expressive stone. It is good for all avenues of creativity, including writing. It help clear the creativity block and opens the mind for productivity. This is an ideal stone for the creative writer.

10. Amber   

Although Amber is actually fossilized resin, it still carries properties and healing functions to help you. For struggling writers, Amber will sharpen thinking processes and help generate the enthusiasm for your project that usually slips by the wayside when you are stuck
