Get Optimistic

If you are someone that gets stuck in your head and spirals from your thoughts, green aventurine might just be what helps ground you to reality. This crystal would be great for someone that struggles to view the world with a 'glass half-full' mentality and thinks the world is out to get them.
Green aventurine is associated with:
- Luck
- Optimism

When you begin your crystal healing journey, it's important to take a step back and think about why you decided to try the practice in the first place. What are you hoping to gain or accomplish with crystal healing? The answer to those questions can then help inform what crystals you should be incorporating into your practice. This means if the descriptions and associations we shared above resonate with you, you should consider bringing green aventurine into your healing journey.
Green aventurine is primarily aligned with the heart chakra. The heart chakra is what controls our ability to love others and ourselves. When out of alignment, you might be feeling isolated or struggling with self-love. It is believed that green aventurine can bring the heart chakra back into alignment—opening you up to love from yourself and others.
Prep Your Green Aventurine Element
Before you jump right into the practice, you'll want to cleanse your crystal element of any negative energy that might be surrounding it. Crystals are extremely susceptible to the energies in their surrounding environments. This means that from the time your element leaves our facility and arrives at your door, there's a chance it came into contact with negative energy.
That's natural! To get the most effective use out of your crystal, you'll want to utilize a cleansing method to get rid of negative energy that your element is charged with.
The first cleansing method you can try for green aventurine is harnessing the power of the moon. Since crystals come from the earth, they respond to the energy from celestial bodies. Green aventurine is particularly influenced by the energy from the moon. Leaving your element in the moonlight overnight can get rid of negative energy. Doing this during a full moon is going to be the most effective time for cleansing.
The second method you can use for cleansing your element is using selenite to absorb the negative energy. Selenite is a crystal that is known for cleansing other crystals. We have three different selenite charging plates that you can use to absorb negative energy. They are: the Tree of Life Selenite Charging Plate, the Chakra Selenite Charging Plate, and the Zodiac Selenite Charging Plate.
The third cleansing method you can use for green aventurine is burying the element in a bowl of salt for 24-hours. This can be table salt, Himalayan salt, sea salt, or any other salt you have available. Salt is believed to absorb negative energy from crystals.
Every month or so, you'll want to use one of the above methods to cleanse your crystal. If you're wearing your element frequently out in the world, it's likely that it will encounter and cling onto negative energy.
Begin Your Healing Journey
Once you've prepped your crystal, it's time to begin your practice. Let's return to those questions we asked earlier in the post: what made you want to try crystal healing and what are you hoping the outcome of your practice will be? You'll also want to let go of any doubts you might be having about crystal healing—fully open your mind to the journey you're getting ready to embark on.
Now, think about the goals you have for your practice and use those to inform the intention for your healing. Intentions should be specific and related to green aventurine's associations. For green aventurine, you might consider setting an intention to reframe your outlook on life so you look for the positives instead of fixating on the negatives in your daily life.
Once you've decided on your intention, write it down somewhere you can find it. Writing it down helps make it tangible and commits it to your memory. After you've written it down, hold your green aventurine element in your hands and speak your intention into it. Repeat it a few times so it really sticks. Keep your intention in mind as you live your daily life—make decisions and act in a way that aligns with it.
As time passes, you might achieve your intention or decide that it isn't relevant anymore. That's to be expected—life is constantly changing and throwing curveballs at you! You can set a new intention by cleansing your crystal and repeating the above intention-setting process.
Start Looking at the Positives
Green aventurine has helped people heal for centuries. It's time for you to begin your journey into an optimistic life. We hope that you are able to begin embracing a 'glass half-full' mentality in your daily life.
