Thankfully, I have a few crystals that have helped tremendously when it comes to traveling. Here are a list of crystals to bring with you whether you are traveling via plane, train, boat or car.
Amethyst is a very popular crystal, a traditional and ancient protection stone as it is known for repelling negative energy and its use in divination. If you tend to feel nervous and unsafe while you are traveling, whether itās because of social anxiety regarding all the people you run into, or potential for things to go wrong at the airport, bringing amethyst along with you will help to ease all those worries. Itās a good crystal to bring with you if you need something to protect you from the evil eye, to release positivity, and ensure to bring you good luck while traveling. Amethyst is also a natural stress reliever to settle your anxiety and uplift your mood. So needless to say, this is a great crystal to have in your pocket/carry-on/luggage while traveling, as overall it provides safety in all forms of travel, and even protects you from thieves.Ā
If the thought of boarding a plane and flying always made you a bit queasy or nervous, holding Malachite in your palms, meditating and breathing deeply will help soothe your nerves. Malachite is believed to be the guardian stone for travelers, since its eye-like pattern holds the energy of protection from all kinds of accidents and physical danger. Thereās even an ancient legend that says malachite shatters or crumbles when danger is near, so if your stone is in one piece during your flight, then that means youāre gucci, fam! Furthermore, if you suffer from jet lag or vertigo, this crystal will definitely be your ally. Malachite is effective for people who travel by plane, but it is also great for those traveling upon crowded highways and freeways. Keep this crystal close if you need a great travel companion, that also helps absorbs negative energy and pollutants, and ease stomach cramps due to stress.
This crystal has a reputation for being protective when it comes to people who love to travel, especially to those traveling over water. Moonstone is believed to bring good fortune and grant wishes to those who wear it or carry a piece on their body. If ever along your journey, you begin feeling homesick, look at your crystal; the spectrum of light within the moonstone will lift your moon, kind of similar to whenever we see a rainbow. Always add a moonstone or any jewelry containing the crystal to your luggage so it doesnāt get lost! It also has a reputation to be beneficial for protection during nighttime travel. I donāt know about you guys but jet lag is something that doesnāt exactly resonate with me. I went to Paris when I was 18, and instead of going to explore the city, I just wanted to sleep and I wish I had brought a moonstone with me at the time, because moonstones are very effective when it comes to jet lag and helps you keep a good sleep schedule.Ā
Both modern spirituality and legends prove that Aquamarine is the best stone for travels over water/on water. In the past, old seamen would always carry Aquamarine to ensure safe travel and to protect themselves from drowning. It even helps with sea sickness.
