Mood-Boosting Crystals for When You Need to Shift Your Energy

The vibrations within crystals are said to promote healing — be it spiritually, emotionally or physically, crystals can target them all. According to TIME, this energy is said to interact positively with your body’s energy field, or chakra.
Whether or not crystals actually have healing benefit remains to be seen, but there’s much to be said of the placebo effect. “If people believe that a treatment will make them feel better, many of them do feel better after they have had the treatment, even if it is known to be therapeutically worthless,” professor of psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London, Christopher French, told TIME.
So, if you’re in need of an energy shift because things are feeling a little stale, why not try harnessing some of the crystal ~energy~ to give you a boost. Below, we’ve rounded up five of the most effective mood-boosting crystals available:
