Best Crystals for Introverts & How to Use Them

Laura Konst

Introvert written on a post-itBeing an introvert is a personality trait that gets a bad rep.

Often defined as the quality of being “shy” and “reserved”, introverts are labelled as unfriendly and hard to get to know - but this couldn’t be further from the truth.

According to the personality theory put forward by Carl Jung in the 20th century, introverts are characterized by the way they engage with external stimuli. In contrast to extroverts, introverts seek refuge and recharge when looking inwards not when they are around other people. For them, self-reflection and self-awareness are second nature. They are also the people that feel comfortable being alone and could be professional daydreams.

It is important to remember that introversion is in no way similar to shyness. Introverts can just as happily be part of a large group of people, be the leaders, and have a wide circle of friends. The difference is they will need time to “recharge” in solitude and retreat inwards to replenish their energy after all that socializing.

This is where using healing crystals could be beneficial to people that are high in introversion. Crystals can tune into what we need and unblock our chakras (energy centres). They are one of the highest forms of practising self-care. So while you won’t magically turn into the most extroverted person you know, practising with these crystals will allow you to guard your precious energy reserves, uplift your mood and enjoy mental clarity.
