A guide to crystals for motivation

Do you struggle to stay motivated? These nine healing crystals can boost motivation, so you feel more productive, driven and enthusiastic.

Motivation is the key to achieving your goals. Without feeling motivated, it’s hard to face the continuous roadblocks you’ll face during any major project.

It’s often easy to feel motivated when you start a new goal. After the initial excitement has worn off, however, procrastination, self-limiting beliefs and tiredness can make progress much more difficult.

This is where crystal healing excels. The unique vibrations of crystals can stimulate your energy field to boost motivation and endurance. They also help you to remember why you’re dedicating time and energy to achieving a goal.

Here are nine of my favourite crystals for motivation. Use them whenever you feel your enthusiasm starting to dip!

Which are the Best Crystals and Stones for Motivation?

Root, Sacral

Carnelian is my favourite crystal for motivation. It has a stabilising energy that promotes movement and vitality, which is wonderful for overcoming loss of energy for a project.

As well as encouraging you to reach targets, carnelian’s warm hues of sunset bring joy to all endeavours.

This crystal opens the Sacral Chakra and stimulates creative passions. It gives you the courage to push through procrastination or fear, which can often hold back creative tasks. It’s also great for training sessions or other situations when you need full focus.

Amethyst has an empowering energy that promotes a motivational mindset. It inspires you to take action by reducing stagnant energy, helping you to make life changes and achieve goals.

Through promoting a calm focus, amethyst will help you to explore why you want to achieve a certain goal and help with the decision-making process. It also encourages you to set realistic goals in the first place, which is crucial to your success.

As well as stimulating action, amethyst cleanses the aura of negative energy and soothes anxiety. So, this creates the perfect environment for a motivational mindset.

Citrine jewel

Chakra: 
Solar Plexus, Crown

Motivation and happiness are closely linked. In other words, it’s vital to enjoy the journey, not just focus on the destination!

Citrine is a happy, sunny crystal that promotes a positive attitude. This is so important when you want a motivational mindset and to attract what you want in life.

It also balances the Solar Plexus and helps you to look forward with optimism.

Blue apatite is a motivational stone that can help you achieve your ambitions.

Through balancing the yin-yang energy, it dissolves apathy and boosts inactivity.

As well as having a resourceful energy, blue apatite encourages a positive outlook and stimulates intelligence. It also builds energy reserves so you can stay focused.

This is a wonderful crystal for students and business people who need to improve concentration to achieve end goals.

Red Jasper

Other Tips for Using Motivational Stones and Gems

Crystal healing is a wonderful way to boost motivation so you can achieve your goals. Here are a few tips for using crystals for this purpose:

  • Crystal jewellery is a fantastic way to keep the motivational effect of gemstones inside your energy field. Wear blue apatite and amethyst in necklaces or earrings. Carnelian, ruby and red jasper are better in bracelet, belts or even kept in your pocket.
  • Place motivational crystals around your home, office of workspace. This will infuse energy and enthusiasm into the space, which will benefit everyone who goes there.
  • Yoga and tai chi are excellent for injecting enthusiasm into your day. Place motivation stones around your mat or sip an elixir made from motivational crystals.
  • Hold a motivational crystal of your choice whilst using positive self-talk and mantras. Doing so will deepen the effect of your mantras.
  • Walk in nature whilst holding motivation crystals or carrying them in your pocket. This will inspire passion and awaken creativity through linking to Earth energies.

Which Angels are Associated With Motivation?

The angels I most associate with motivation are:

  • Angel Sehaliah – This is the Angel of Motivation. He will inspire you to find the willpower to succeed. Use black tourmaline or the magenta or violet crystals, such as amethyst, when you invoke him.
  • Archangel Jophiel – This angel helps you to develop a positive mindset and motivates you to find your sole purpose. He resonates with the colour yellow – specifically sunstone and citrine.
  • Archangel Machidiel – When invoking Machidiel for enthusiasm and motivation, I like to use either garnet, carnelian, ruby or bloodstone.
