Crystals for Emotional Reset: Stones to Help You Let Go and Start Fresh
By Erin Daugherty
In the ever changing phases of life, crystals can be a consistent source of peace and healing. Each crystal has its own unique properties that can assist you in experiencing the peaceful, abundant life of your dreams. On our path to get there, the inner work with ourselves is never truly finished. Crystals are both energetic tools and physical tokens to assist and uplift you while you grow, heal and evolve.
A common theme in all of our journeys is releasing things that are holding us back and embracing new opportunities and new beginnings. What is holding you back could be anything from people, relationships, jobs, living situations, past connections, emotions, harmful internal dialogue, or toxic patterns. Whatever it is that you need to let go of, there’s a few crystals that can give you a boost in the process.
Letting go of people, emotions, situations, or anything else, always leaves space in our lives for new things to emerge and fill those spaces. This means it’s important to be intentional about asking the universe or God for what you want in place of the things you are releasing. There are also crystals whose energetic power can assist you in embracing these new beginnings and attracting the energy and opportunities that you desire.
The following crystals are ones that in my personal experiences, work great for either releasing, calming my emotions, or embracing new positive energies into my life.
Everyone has their own unique experiences with crystals as they are worked with over time. Remember to take note of how a crystal’s energy makes you feel, regardless of what books or online sources may say.
You can work with crystals to manifest, attract, and release energy through many methods, such as meditating with crystals, utilizing them in crystal grids, and carrying or wearing them on your physical body. Crystals may also be placed strategically around the home to assist with energetic boundaries and attraction. Wearing crystals is a very popular way to work with them due to the accessibility of the piece always being with you, and not requiring much physical space. The most important aspect of working with crystals is simply appreciating their presence and being intentional with how you purchase and utilize them.
Think about your goals and intentions right now. Maybe take a few minutes to journal them down.

Crystals to Help You Let Go
Malachite: A magical stone for healing and energy protection, malachite promotes emotional healing through enabling you to let go of the past and upgrade expectations for what you are truly seeking. Malachite attracts richness for the body, mind, and spirit through absorbing and clearing negative energy and electromagnetic pollution. It guards against radiation and spiritual attacks.
Apatite: When used intentionally in meditation, apatite helps to clear pathways for releasing people, objects, and situations that are not furthering your life. Apatite is a stone of self acceptance, giving the power to love and release freely and unconditionally, without personal attachment. To put it simply, apatite clears the way for the path to success to come forth through its uplifting energy. It is a stone of personal growth, motivation, and power.
Fluorite: Known as a success crystal, but also helpful in revealing truths - fluorite is a powerful stone for understanding what to release and let go of, in order to achieve your goals. Use fluorite to reveal your inner truth, and the truths of the people around you. Meditate with fluorite to gain insight into what situations could be draining your light energy, and what adjustments to make moving forward to protect your energy. Fluorite also promotes focus on goals and aspirations, melting away distractions that might lead you astray. Carry or wear fluorite to keep in touch with this focused, driven energy.
Crystals for New Beginnings
Clear Calcite: This common crystal aligns with universal energy flow, promotes balance, and amplifies ideas, dreams, and psychic intuition. Calcite aids in having a clear perspective on life and assists in manifesting, making it a perfect crystal for new beginnings and adventures.
Moss Agate: Associated with fresh ideas, flourishing growth, and abundance, moss agate is a perfect stone for setting new intentions. Moss agate promotes abundance in all areas of life and helps in releasing fears while being grounded in new ventures. It is a beneficial stone for entrepreneurs and business people alike, bringing good luck and expansion to the workplace.
Red Jade or Jasper: Said to harness the spirit of the warrior, carrying red jade with you as you go through changes promotes personal power, inner strength, and passion. Red jade encourages you not to hold back, dispels fear and worry, and stabilizes the mental environment. Through assisting with these energies, red jade is a powerful crystal for simply going after whatever it is that you desire, and staying tapped into your “why” for having such desires.

The upcoming New Moon in Scorpio on November 20th, represents the beginning of a new cycle, making it the perfect time to release and set intentions for what you would like to come forward next. The new moon represents completion and oneness with the shadows. So this is also a good phase for gratitude, even as we release.
Scorpio is a sign of passion, release, and the light that emerges after periods of darkness. Paired with the energy of the full moon, this is the perfect time to perform release rituals, let go what is not serving you, and figure out how to make more time and space for the things that make you happiest and light up your soul. The new moon in Scorpio is also a good time for practicing shadow work, journaling, and using fire through candles or bonfires. Embrace the darkness while welcoming in the light.
Following are a few journal prompts to support this Scorpio new moon energy –
