The pain, the hormones, the straight-up <em>inconvenience<\/em>. But, it doesn\u2019t have to be this way! Crystals for periods to the rescue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lots of beautiful healing crystals that can help you during your monthly period. They can help ease the pain, relax your energy, and even shift your mindset to be more loving towards your cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The menstruation cycle is a spiritual experience, if you allow it to be. There\u2019s so much cultural stigma and disgust around it, which is a shame.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Your period is 100% natural and necessary biologically. <strong>There is absolutely no reason at all to be ashamed of it, especially since literally half of the population experiences it.<\/strong> Beyond the physical elements of menstruation, there are loads of spiritual elements, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, we\u2019ll first talk about five healing crystals to help make your cycle easier to deal with at this moment. Later, we\u2019ll go deeper into the magic of menstruation and how it can enhance your spiritual well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spirituallyinspired.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/5-crystals-for-periods-best-crystals-for-cramps-SPIRITUALLY-INSPIRED-PINTEREST.png\" alt=\"There are lots of beautiful healing crystals that can help you during your monthly period.

However, depending on your sensitivity to energy and your level of pain tolerance, this might be overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experiment with what feels right for you in your body. During your period, energy is heightened and you might be more sensitive than usual. Maybe you choose to wear your crystals, place them on your body, or simply be near them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using crystals for periods doesn&#8217;t need to be complicated. Keeping them in your space is all you need to benefit from their energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Related Article &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spirituallyinspired.co\/healing-crystals-every-day\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3119\">How To Use Healing Crystals<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spirituallyinspired.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/moonstone-crystal-instagram.png\" alt=\"There are lots of beautiful healing crystals that can help you during your monthly period.

It\u2019s not uncommon (but certainly not necessary) to bleed at the new or full moons, depending on each individual cycle and your current energy state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This flashy gem looks like white labradorite. Which, of course, means I love it because labradorite is my favorite! Moonstone is a stone of new beginnings, so it\u2019s especially helpful if you\u2019re bleeding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spirituallyinspired.co\/new-moon-spiritual-meaning\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7068\">around the time of the New Moon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s very good at stabilizing emotions, particularly stress. Whatever triggers a heightened emotional response for you, especially during an emotional menstrual cycle, can be calmed with moonstone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>All matters related to childbirth, PMS, cramps, conception, pregnancy, and milk production have been treated with moonstone. This is a popular choice of energy healers for working with yin energies like these.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Moonstone is used to soothe and bring about deep emotional healing. Its magic resonates strongly with the Moon\u2019s magic, as they carry similar healing qualities. Many view menstrual cycles as a monthly signal to focus on inner healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, if you\u2019re bleeding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spirituallyinspired.co\/full-moon-spiritual-meaning\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7084\">at the Full Moon<\/a>, moonstone might be too intense. Experiment with your own body and see what your intuition says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spirituallyinspired.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rhodochrosite-crystal-instagram.png\" alt=\"There are lots of beautiful healing crystals that can help you during your monthly period.

It made our list of crystals for periods because of the natural healing process the womb goes through each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its energy is also very gentle, compassionate, and joyful. PMS can really put a damper on your whole day (or week). Rhodochrosite can help assimilate heavy emotions with the lighter ones so we can avoid denial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We don\u2019t want to disregard the emotions we feel during PMS. They are just as valid as emotions felt during the other three weeks of the month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Rhodochrosite won\u2019t let you repress these emotions. It lovingly holds them for your attention and release. This could otherwise be difficult to do while in the midst of a cloudy PMS brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason why rhodochrosite is a good crystal for menstruation is its connection to the solar plexus chakra. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spirituallyinspired.co\/chakras-for-beginners\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4940\">This yellow chakra<\/a> sits right about where the uterus is, so working with its energy can help to relax, align, and harmonize the active energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pretty pink crystal is known for invigorating the sexual organs and libido. Does that seem counterproductive for your period? Perhaps, depending on your personal cycle. But there\u2019s the chance it could have a soothing, relaxing effect as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spirituallyinspired.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/malachite-crystal-instagram.png\" alt=\"There are lots of beautiful healing crystals that can help you during your monthly period.

During our periods, we might feel \u201cgross\u201d and have a natural tendency to put ourselves down. Malachite won\u2019t let you do that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will trigger the energy of your heart chakra to pour into the rest of your body. Sending feelings of love right where it&#8217;s needed most during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malachite is also famous for its ability to absorb physical pain. This alone is reason enough to put it on our list of best crystals for period cramps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try experimenting with placing malachite directly over the cramps to help relieve some of the pain. If that\u2019s too much intense energy, try laying down and placing the crystal next to your hips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just be aware that malachite should be cleansed after each use because it holds onto the pain and negativity within it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to moonstone, malachite is widely used in all things yin energy. This includes midwifery practices, pregnancy, cramps, childbirth, and of course menstruation. Pairing these two crystals together would be a great idea for anyone who has traumatic periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spirituallyinspired.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rose-quartz-crystal-instagram.png\" alt=\"There are lots of beautiful healing crystals that can help you during your monthly period.

Using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spirituallyinspired.co\/rose-quartz-meaning\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6818\">rose quartz for crystal healing<\/a> during your period can bring your focus back to self love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our lives are still happening while we\u2019re bleeding, and it\u2019s all too easy to push our needs aside for the sake of our daily lives. Rose quartz reminds us that our needs are valid, and we have permission to slow down when our bodies need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t even need to place rose quartz upon your body to feel its unconditional love. Its energy is so relaxing and far reaching. You can receive its love effortlessly. And during your period, \u201ceffortlessly\u201d is as good as gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rose quartz is calming, peaceful, and soothing. Our cycle might make us feel tense, agitated, stressed out, and even anxious. All of this is perfectly normal. Use rose quartz to help stabilize heightened emotions during PMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gorgeous pink crystal is often used for boosting the health of the circulatory system. Depending on your body and your health, this could manifest as an easier, faster, and less painful period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spirituallyinspired.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/smoky-quartz-crystal-instagram.png\" alt=\"There are lots of beautiful healing crystals that can help you during your monthly period.

Smoky quartz in particular is excellent for treating afflictions centered in the abdomen. It is a known pain reliever, and is specially skilled to ease cramps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smoky quartz is quite grounding with its dark color and hefty energy. Which is helpful during your period because of our elevated emotions. We might be feeling very \u201cin our heads\u201d and can easily feel like we\u2019re floating away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadness, depression, and overall gloominess can be eased with smoky quartz. It dissolves negativity, sending it back to Source energy to be transmuted into something more positive. Allow it to pull the negativity out of your body and mind&#8211;you\u2019ll be left feeling so much lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along those same lines, smoky quartz can help increase concentration. So while you\u2019re dealing with your period and normal life responsibilities, you can think much more clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smoky quartz naturally helps us let go of what we no longer need.

Many of us still have hard feelings towards this completely normal and natural process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>But what if we reframed these beliefs? What if we loved our cycles instead of dreaded them?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, the pain can be unbearable. Yes, the blood is gross (I\u2019m a horrible hemophobic) and hard to deal with in public.

Or maybe you\u2019ve only had a few, or one. Regardless, you have the power to reject society\u2019s normal opinions towards menstruation and embrace new, spiritually inspired ones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The healing crystals mentioned in this post are just the beginning.
